It's great that a low budget movie wins so big.

Isnt it Anora Gay, the plane that carried the atomic bomb and inspired the classic 80s pop hit by OMD?

Substance is really really weird but good as well, weirdly compelling viewing. I watched the first half an hour of Wicked but I turned it off after that, could be I'm just not really a big musical lover, not sure, I did enjoy the original Wizard of Oz despite that but I feel like there was less singing in that?

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

the whole industry is in the toilet and now this once successful marketing exercise now just advertises its demise

delicious irony

have Parents that rush in,
to cancel his marriage to a Hooker.


That's the Story of that film.


It was a Low Budget Movie
that Won the Top Oscar

[Crimson Dynamo]

…Substance is still on my to watch list but atm I haven’t been able to stream it for free so I’m waiting to be able to do that…yeah, Musicals are strange with me in that some I like and some/not so much…there was no joy in the songs of Emilia Perez and there was no emotion either …the musical aspect of it just didn’t convey anything at all for me…

The James Bond Makers were there
they even did a Long Music/Singing Dance for it.


Would have been ideal
to introduce the New James Bond

…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

I watched the Oscars highlights last night. What an embarrassing cringe-fest it was.

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

…I did see that it’s streaming on Apple…(…and I think one of the free movies…)..so had considered watching it tbh…

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.

…I personally think that what the Academy members think makes a great movie and what the public think …?…has been parting ways for many years now and doesn’t really align for these things so they’ve become quite meaningless to the regular movie lover …I’m not even sure whether an award is a huge career boost in the way that it used to be tbh…
