Michael B Jordan best actor?

Don't think I've seen a single nominated movie apart from F1 once it was available for streaming. I'm so out of it when it comes to staying up to date with releases and so on, it's a disgrace. the only two movies I know are coming are Oddyssey and Dune part 3 for this year that I want to see in the cinema. Oppenheimer was my last visit.

I've only seen One Battle After Another. Awful movie. Not a drop of the class other Anderson movies have. Everybody is fighting to make the picture better (well deserved Sean Penn) but the movie is stronger than them all. Dicaprio in auto mode. Solid performance but I'm glad they didn't give him the Oscar for this one when they denied it for way better performances that deserved it.

In a way, it getting a bunch of nominations and then not winning any is a very Marty Supreme result.
In the grand scheme of things award shows don't really mean a huge amount. But where they can be useful is highlighting films for people to check out. So if you have been a bit out of touch with films recently then those shortlists can be good guides to go by.
People were gaslighting themselves? And doing it over a movie?

I thought he gave a good performance but Chalamet's in Marty Supreme was much better and I probably would have put DiCaprio, Moura and Hawke ahead of him too. I guess the twin gimmick worked in his favour.

I couldn't tell his two characters apart. They looked the same and behaved the same - that's not exactly an acting masterclass.

Sinners stumbled at the goal line. The klan should have come during the night and been killed by the Vampires to give meaning to the leader's offer to join. Every moment of the film laid the groundwork for that to happen. Randomly switching to a "kill racists" 202x ending felt out of place.

I was talking about this to a friend and realised I felt more strongly about Sinners not winning best picture than any of the nominees actually winning it.
None of the big nominees: Marty Supreme, OBAA, Sinners felt amazing to me. But I thought Marty Supreme was easily the most enjoyable.
I wonder if Chalamet's comments about Opera and Ballet really made anyone change their vote.
Glad that Sinners won something, it would have been years of moaning if it hadn't.
Overall a fairly meh year for the Oscars, imo. Glad that Weapons (have I repetitively told you that I think it's the best film of the year yet?) got a nod though.

Exactly. Zootopia 2 or Avatar Fire and Ash should have won best film.

My "this is bullshit" moment of the evening was Sinners winning Best Cinematography
It's not a bad looking movie, but Train Dreams was something else. Every shot from that movie was like a painting. Completely robbed.
Every other cathegory was ok. OBAA wasnt my favorite movie of the year but I get it. And PTA should have won before, so I'm glad for him.

Actually, it seems like there's been a mixup
I had to check if that was real.
I wonder how much a gig like that pays, I sort of assume the words slightly stuck in his throat.

They don't, it really wouldn't have been the success it became without netflix, it had a very slow burn (~2 months) before becoming actually popular through word of mouth.

I don't understand all the hype over One Battle After Another -- I thought it was a good movie, but I (personally) found Frankenstein to be a way better / more compelling movie.
Sinners didn't deserve the nom at all, imo. I thought Sinners was a B+ movie at best.

Michael B. Jordan? he is the same guy in all films, he barely even acts.
If Train Dreams and Marty Supreme did better at the box office they would sweep.
Lol at the k-pop song getting the oscar. The singers who sung it can't carry a note, like listening to a chalkboard.

It doesnt get better don't waste your time.

Agreed. It wasn't a bad performance, just nothing mind blowing.
The twin gimmick was done better by Tom Hardy in Legend.

Volcano High Alumnus (Cum Laude)
It's 2/3 of a great film. The first act is genuinely pretty hard to watch, which is a problem when your film is about 3 hours long, and the bad part is probably the first 50 minutes.

Absurd, they all do a great job and ejae is perfect, hitting a couple of high notes perfectly with an a5 in golden and an incredible d6 in how it's done

"Best" and "most popular" often diverge.
