The publisher behind the overwhelming majority of this coverage is Rupert Murdoch. The publisher behind the overwhelming majority of climate change denialism in Australia, even in the face of the wildfires, is Rupert Murdoch. The press baron behind much of the mad dash to war in Iraq in both the US and UK was Mudoch.…

The relationship between the British press and their royalty is baffling, hilarious, and deeply creepy. “How dare our prince step back from his sacred royal duties of presenting awards, attending funerals and pretending to run charities! And just because we’ve been relentlessly abusing him and his wife for years? This…

From The Studio That Was Lucky Enough To Own The Rights To Spider-Man At Just The Right Time comes MORBIUS, an amalgam of about three or four other movies in this genre that you’ve seen before.

How dare you have a moderate and reasonable opinion!

GET HIM!

Joker is a fine movie. It’s fine! It’s not clever or original or anything like that; it’s full of POINTLESS Batman scenes; it’s definitely not a best picture contender but Wacky Phoenix is a very good actingman and I enjoyed watching him do an acting for a…

I finally watched the Joker this week and ended up feeling like it’s a weird movie to generate so much praise and hatred. For context I afterwards watched King of Comedy, and it struck me that what Joker misses is some sort of psychological and/or moral clarity about the character we’re watching. Without that it’s…

The fact that Uncut Gems didn’t even get nominations for Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Score is frankly insane.

Lighthouse especially. That film is getting no love anywhere. Nommed in one category but wont and hasn’t won anything. Not even on AV Club that snubbed it.

Nothing wrong with her. But it’s a middlebrow infotainment film that softpeddles sexual harassment and glorifies complicit Fox News anchors. I would have been psyched to see her get nominated for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

So who got snubbed this year? The lighthouse? Adam Sandler and the Uncut Gems gang? Lupita Nyongo?

If this was the ‘90s, ‘Ford v Ferrari’ would be a huge blockbuster. It would most likely star that beige piece of facial tissue Kevin Costner, but still. It’s a legitimately good movie.

Sad to snubs for a lot of A24s finest films....

The best thing would be to avoid Twitter. For everything.

Let’s just hope it stays at Oscar nominated.  

And it didn’t get any better.

Great, now I have to live in a world where “Oscar-nominated director Todd Phillips” is a thing?

Who has the time with so many TV shows to watch?

The Academy’s 2020 resolution should be to see more than seven movies.

Posting this after the first round of nominations. Lots of Joker already and a Bombshell nomination for Robbie are not great signs for the film buff crowd.

He was alternating “what up” and “what’s up” (with a few “what is up” thrown in for good measure) in the very first sketch.
