I submit Tsai Ming-liang’s Vive L’Amour. Still my favorite of his films.

No kidding. Also the headline of the damn article has the wrong title of the movie. Sheesh.

Unless your name is Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood.

I miss Perks of Being a Wallflower Ezra Miller... remember how lovely he was in that?

Every chance that’s sarcasm, considering the derisive tone of literally the whole article...

That’s Academy Award winner Jared Leto, to you!

So the problem wasn’t that the show was based on retrograde colonialist ideas of Indigenous cultures? Huh.

director Patrick Hughes loves a clunky title almost as much as Kevin Hart loves an odd-couple action-comedy. In the trailer for Hughes’ new action-comedy, The Man From Toronto, everyone’s script requests are satisfied.

It sounds to me like the complaints aren’t that Parker is at the center of the story, but that he is foregrounded to such a degree that Elvis himself becomes an ancillary character. I can see how this would work, but it’s also understandable that people would be taken aback by this considering the, uh, title of the

So you’re only allowed to watch media that came out in the span of your lifetime? I’ll never understand this logic. So bizarre.

If they ever make a Mae West biopic, they *need* to cast Natasha Lyonne. I can’t be alone in wanting to see this?

A Wonderful Day In The Neighborhood

Agreed with most of your points, but the song performances are regularly among the highlights of the telecast. Can you imagine the Oscars without those performances of “Blame Canada,” “Lose Yourself,” “Falling Slowly,” “Skyfall,” “Let it Go,” “Glory,” “Shallow”...? Music is integral to film and should be rightly

Maybe they can start by rewatching past successful ceremonies, such as the rightly lauded one hosted by Hugh Jackman in 2009? This isn’t some big mystery - show clips, honor your legacy (was there even any mention of any media pre-Godfather during this year’s ceremony? Film is over a century old! Acknowledge its rich

I wish more high-profile celebs had joined in on protesting the Academy’s insanely disrespectful decision to cut eight categories from the ceremony. There should have been a concerted movement, but no momentum was really built. So upsetting for Oscar fanatics, and of course for all the craftspeople who are being

I know this is beside the point here, but I’m a pedant and it really irks me when people get film years obviously wrong. It’s 2011 and 2017. I assume you were going for the years in which those movies won Oscars, but it’s not written correctly for that to work.

Summer and Winter always used to be in the same year, though, until 1994.

This is really just not true. Been watching every night and there’s no shortage of live coverage, from figure skating to alpine skiing. The balance is pretty good, actually, considering they’re also replaying events that happened in the middle of the night in the US.

Huh? Wes Anderson films historically perform really poorly at the Oscars. Especially in Best Art Direction/Production Design, which is really strange.

Weird list. Dune was a lock in Adapted Screenplay. The surprise is the Best Director miss for Villeneuve.
