Doing some googling, there have been a lot more times a single role has resulted in multiple nominations, but that might indeed be the only case of two separate actors winning:

Since he’s engaged in at least one movie-related hoax before, he could fake his own death, and then claim no-backsies on his posthumous Oscar.

A film noir can have the odd loose end and the characters can indeed be heightened, but the audience actually is supposed to follow along with the plot as the protagonist investigates the mystery and the actions of the characters are supposed to make sense for them, even if there’s a required reveal that a character…

Phoenix’s performance was said to be the standout element of Joker. So he could get a nomination for that, but for Best Picture it would help to be less of a one-man show. There’s already precedent for the actor playing the Joker to win an Oscar while the film itself goes without a BP nomination.

If you head over to https://thepopculturists.blogspot.com/ you’ll find my reviews in the Pop Culture Weekend threads. They’re not very good, and probably not more representative than the typical film reviewer. And in my comment I expressed uncertainty as to how worthwhile it would be to have more common tastes in…

I didn’t take the message of TLJ to be that the resistance/rebels should all give up. Their own incompetence makes their efforts frequently futile, but then you have to weigh that against the incompetence of the First Order/empire. You’re presumably referring to Rose’s sabotage of Finn, but since her speech goes…

It’s weird that this kicked off a wave of nostalgia for the decades which still hasn’t ended more than two decades later. Can you imagine a movie released this year doing something similar for our previous decade? Lady Bird would be the closest thing I can think of, and that’s way more specific than broad.

“Off-brand Seinfeld” was my complaint about the first live-action Tick show. And I liked Seinfeld.

Yeah, in the link I posted Roland Fryer and Steve Levitt describe it as essentially a pyramid scheme. And it did indeed collapse once it became clear how much grifting was going on.

The KKK had multiple incarnations, so it was first an insurrectionary band of masked terrorists, and then a bunch of people LARPing as the former. The second was the most popular, although it also doesn’t seem to have had any detectable impact on politics or even lynching. One take on the difference is that the former…

I’d never heard of the band “Skepticism”.

Max Boot can sympathize with Twitter there.

Not sure because you haven’t seen them, or you don’t have strong opinions on films that you did see?

I was unfamiliar with that meme. I suppose by explaining it you have now killed the joke. R.I.P.

The police clearly exist in the world of Brick and there’s no reason given for why it would be expected that they wouldn’t properly investigate this homicide. Nor would he have any ability to place a perp under arrest if he found out who did it, and murdering the responsible party in revenge wouldn’t really be in…

If it’s the sketch I think you’re thinking of, I believe that was more directly inspired by a Public Image Limited interview.

The character in her movie is headless, Lucretia keeps her own head in a rather stylish bag. Someone has been spreading a rumor that there are two identical heads she chooses from, and I don’t know what causes people to spread such nonsense.

That image looks familiar, but I can’t remember what that was. I know the books represent different genres, and that’s about it.

That sounds a bit more like Wishbone, except without the titular dog.
