“I, personally, was dismayed by the sheer amount of antics peppered in between awards”

I think the magnitude of EEAAO’s sweep is actually being understated today. It’s now one of only three films to ever win three acting awards (the others being Network and Streetcar Named Desire) and it’s the only one of those to also win Best Picture. On top of that when a film wins seven awards its tally is usually…

Davis is so magnetic in almost everything she did. She’s also a hoot in old interviews when she’s near the end of her life and had no qualms about sharing what’s exactly on her mind. The only other Old Hollywood stars that have the same instant “get it” reaction are, to me, Katharine Hepburn and Greta Garbo.

I adore Bette Davis and this is one of her best. I actually have a framed print of her in THE DRESS in my apartment. For a born and bred Yankee I’ve always found it funny that she ended up playing so many Southern characters, such as this, The Little Foxes, and Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte (I’m sure I’m forgetting…

Judi Dench should have won for Mrs. Brown. Her performance as a grieving Queen Victoria is a masterclass.

you try deciding between Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand—the Academy couldn’t

Seconded. Yeoh’s performance was phenomenal, moving, and so wide ranging. She’s the beating heart of that film and it wouldn’t have worked without her. I adore Blanchett, but Tar was overlong and overrated and I didn’t think we saw her do anything we hadn’t before.

When I saw this article my first thought was that I hoped Olivia Coleman’s acceptance speech would be included. I love the Oscars and I regularly rewatch acceptance speeches, especially during this time of year as we approach the big night, and that is probably my favorite because she’s genuinely shocked and…

I actually thought the supposed realism of the film was one of its biggest problems because I found so much of it to be so unrealistic. To begin with there’s no way a classical music conductor would have that much widespread pop culture relevance in this day and age, yet Tar is depicted as some massive celebrity whose…

Just responding to say that I absolutely adore Florence and I feel like she doesn’t get the level of attention she deserves. She’s enormously talented and seems like an absolutely lovely person. Also her magical mystic witchy vibe is fabulous and I love her ethereal style. And she’s incredible live, too!

I love how for Republicans it’s a huge bonus when their candidates attended a school like Yale, but when it’s a Democratic candidate who attended the same school they are “liberal elites.”

I agree that he absolutely should not be discounted. He’s got a distinct appeal with the base. That being said I also think there’s a paranoid energy about him that maybe isn’t fully justified. He’s deeply uncharismatic and the big issues that get the GQP going are not ones I feel translate to the national stage.

Not only that, but she knew she was capable of passing it on and still continued to work as a cook, therefore spreading typhoid to even more people. She also assumed fake identities and moved cooking jobs frequently to avoid detection because everywhere she worked there were outbreaks. She was eventually forcibly…

I think if you predicted a near sweep for Everything Everywhere you’d end up doing pretty well in your Oscar pool. At this point it’s a lock for Picture, Director, Supporting Actor, and Original Screenplay (unless they decide to share the wealth and give something to Banshees). Avatar will probably take a lot of the…

If DeSantis wore those in public in Tennessee he’d be committing a felony! Won’t someone please think of the children!?

I thought their rebuttal made things worse when, in my opinion, the most egregious person left of the list was Judy Garland.

Unfortunately this was pretty much inevitable. These are the same ghouls who didn’t give a shit about overturning Roe. I’m sure if they could find a way to increase borrowers debt burden they would.

I’m not a great flier and the entertainment system being down is a fear of mine, so I always travel with a fully charged iPad filled with downloaded movies and shows that will get me through the length of the whole flight, plus any potential delays (I watched a lot of Golden Girls on a flight not that long ago that…

EEAAO also broke the record for most wins by a single film with four. There are only five film awards and they won in every category they were nominated in.

And Angela Bassett herself got in on it last night!
