i think i'm just jaded with the current movies, i've looked a few times, and i just don't fancy watching any of them

[bots]

i just watched 30 mins of Anora and it seems to be pretty much a soft porn movie. I'm quite surprised it's an oscar winner

I agree with you that Hollywood does have it's problems.

But that woman is clearly Anorexic, even I think that we need to be careful about calling her a "gaunt freakshow."

The James Bond Makers were there

…I think that the new James Bond announcement deserves to have its own space, though…and not risk becoming a bit lost in Oscar news and awards…

Sure,
But this went all over the World

And they made the effort to
sing and play James Bond Hits

So after that, it would be great to see
the new James Bond actor

it was really amateurish, but, like i said, the fact that a soft core porn movie picked up most of the awards says it all The thing is, it doesn't even have a compelling story or outstanding acting

if the story isn't good or the acting isn't good in 30 mins, it's not going to get better

The films the Academy likes don't really have much cultural impact these days.

Yougov poll said that only 14% in the UK were interested in who wins at the Oscars.
