They often go for surprises in supporting categories.  I agree that Grant will win.  (Plus, Ali already has one, and he’s young.  And wildly talented.)

I’m hoping Richard E. Grant gets a surprise win. I’m almost finishing his film diaries from years ago, With Nails, and my god it’s a hoot. The chapter on the making of Hudson Hawk alone. He’s a superb and funny writer. Anyway one things that comes through in the book is how very well-liked he is by people in…

I almost hope Green Book wins, because in a truly unexceptional field, having a win that would piss off all of the most irritating people on Twitter would at least be kind of funny.

I love Moonrise Kingdom for many reasons, but the soundtrack is a huge part of it. In it, Anderson has a film properly set in the 60s, but the music is predominately choral and orchestral pieces by Benjamin Britten. (Plus some Hank Williams.)

Just saw on Instagram that Sleater-Kinney is working on something (album?  track?) produced by Annie Clark for 2019.

I’m not sure what movie you watched, but your description doesn’t remotely resemble the movie I saw and loved.

I really liked it. Would I call it one of my favorites of the year? No. But was it a fun movie with some good gags? Yeah, sure.

For a show that reportedly didn’t want to use the name “Deathstroke” because it had “death” in it, that sequence was brilliantly, hilariously dark.  

That was brilliant.  I just saw this movie the other day and was endlessly delighted by it.  

Robin’s final entreaty to the children in the audience might have been my favorite five seconds of any movie this year.

Also great - Stan Lee’s cameo(s).

The time travel scene had me laughing so hard that my three year old told me off for it. But the brutality of the way they stopped Aquaman becoming Aquaman - and then the brutality (with Robin’s cheery grin) of the way they “fixed” undoing Batman’s origin.

late to the thread here but totally agree. Maybe even a B- because I was just flat out annoyed...how do you cast Carrie Coon and not have her end up being the mastermind villain? the setup for it is SO PERFECT, but either way, she is criminally underused in the movie.

Totally agree with you on the transitional scene in the car bt. weathy and poor Chicago. Great camera work. Daniel was extremely terrifying.

I really liked the first season of GLOW as a story of empowerment and complex relationships between very different women who bond with each other for a common goal.

I have a blind spot with Marborosi, which I hated when I first saw it, and after rewatching it last year after 20 years—I get it but I still don’t like it. I love After Life, which if I had recognized his name as the guy who made Marborosi, I might never have watched, and promptly missed out on everything else.

Huh. Between this and Game Night- is this the year of Hollywood making solid low-to-mid budget comedies again?

I saw it three weeks ago, it’s so good.

Remember when the guy who voiced Yoda in The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith didn’t want to be in Jason Segel’s Muppet movie because it “wasn’t true to the characters”?
