Oh my god, Loki has been Roger Ebert this entire time!

Really? I didn't see any of Traffic in there at all. I mean, I guess it's there in the sense that the Mexico scenes look dry, but it's not like others besides Soderbergh haven't come to that conclusion visually as well. And Traffic was all handheld with lots of grain, neither of which describe Sicario at all.

I just want to say how amazing it is that "World of Tomorrow" is apparently the frontrunner, and that it winning would make up for any level of Revenant dominance.

And sometimes outright awful movies (see: Hat, The Cat in the).

From reputation, Around the World in 80 Days, The Greatest Show on Earth, Driving Miss Daisy, and Cimarron.

Hey, my favorite film of all time was up for Best Picture that year! …And also one of my least favorites, but still.

1. Anomalisa
2. Kristen Stewart is brilliant in Clouds of Sils Maria
3. Why would you name your boy Condom? That's going to get him beat up at school.
4. Fuck if I know.
5. Adam McKay made a film about the lead-up to the financial crisis.
6. Like everyone else.
7. No you're not.
8. Yes, but that's not stopping me or anyone

Being optimistic about Guillermo del Toro projects these days is practically suicidal, yes. Also, a year seems high, I'm taking bets on whether or not he's still with the project next week.

Would 9 PM EST sound good for those who would want to play Oscar-related trivia on Friday? Oh, I almost forgot to mention, we're doing Oscar-related trivia on Friday.

He should do commentaries for every movie, regardless of whether he was involved or even whether he actually likes them.

I'm still angry that his Charlie Kaufman-scripted Slaughterhouse-Five is probably never going to get made.

The moment when the narration catches up with Mark's dialogue is the most bracing thing Soderbergh has ever directed.

Actually, it's a whole other Hollywood in-joke. Matt Damon wanted to use a fake nose in The Brothers Grimm, but the Weinsteins told him he couldn't, so he brought it to Thirteen.

Really, no mention of the most interesting thing about this project, that it's written/directed by Ain't Them Bodies Saints director and Upstream Color editor David Lowery?

The Road Warrior: Yeah, it just owns.

The funny thing is, if you listen to the Nichols/Soderbergh commentary, Nichols says that their reaction were initially just the result of him leaving the camera on them too long, until they got tired of keeping up the happy act.

There's a difference between "I didn't like the cinematography" and "it was badly shot".
