It would be so good if Parking Patoweyo won an Oscar

[zomgmouse]

Re the foreign film section, I hope On Body and Soul gets it. Loveless was drab.

ALSO YES TO FACES PLACES. YES VERY MUCH.

[Icehaven]

Always faintly amuses me to see non-Oscarish films appearing in the best sound editing or visuals type categories (e.g.Baby Driver, Guardians of the Galaxy 2) as presumably that means the sound or special effects guys get to go to the Oscars while the stars and the director don't.

[Z]

Sufjan Stevens at the Oscars :D



I like Get Out, but what in the hell is Daniel Kaluuya being nominated by anyone for? Denzel got one for that terrible looking film he's in so I imagine he hoovered up the "we're not racist, see!" votes; I don't recall anything especially positive being said about Kaluuya's performance.

[phantom_power]

I thought he was great in it. He was the heart of the film and really sold the oddness and then terror of the situation

[zomgmouse]

I still get his awkward, uneasy laugh stuck in my head.

[worldsgreatestsinner]

Yeah, Kaluuya had a really difficult job because he's the audience link into the film and he makes the uneasiness, the creeping paranoia and then the full horror of the situation believable and he did without really having big speeches to give him a moment. I'd be amazed if a performance that immediately charismatic and sympathetic was overlooked. My question is why was Gary Oldman nominated for a really bland and passionless performance. I suppose as Jim Broadbent impressions go it's ok but it doesn't deserve an Oscar.

Dues.

[phantom_power]

Yeah, that and it was a really showy performance. Classic Oscar bait. Real person. Big speeches. Transformation. Important part of history
