Tom Hanks getting everyone drunk

 

I haven't seen The Post yet but I assume its screenplay was better than Three Billboards cuz I can't imagine how it'd be any worse

 

Good Guy Hanks strikes again

 

To be fair, it's probably impossible to tell how good a screenplay really is or isn't when it's being delivered by actors like Streep and Hanks haha

 

It’s weird to award screenplays specifically, to send out screenplays for voters to read, because movies change so much when they’re actually shot that it’s basically impossible to tell for the most part what you’re awarding. I get it, though, and writers absolutely deserve recognition, but the way the rules are actually laid out and the process of sending scripts out for voting is laughable

 

Edge of Seventeen wasn’t nominated!

 

In practice, though, I'm assuming most people are voting on how it sounded in the final film, not necessarily based on the screenplay itself. At least, when they get to the general voting stage, if not in the nominations stage.

 

Lady Bird >

 

I know, but the award is for best screenplay, not best film, and literal scripts are sent out to voters in whatever academies or guilds, and no one reads them haha. It deserves a category but there’s just a small disconnect

 

Followed up LB by watching Edge again and no way!

 

As much as I love Ewan, and his performances in Fargo, this was the one award I didn't want Fargo to win.

Kyle deserved it.

 

Never mad at Fargo getting credit

 

the worst actor of the worst season of fargo beat fucking Dale Cooper and YOUNG FUCKING POPE?!

 

Yeah of course. Although I will say, of all the categories the screenplay awards are the ones that the Oscars have been really solid about the last couple years. Especially Original. So as long as the most deserving films still win, I don't care how they vote lol

 

Happy for Ewan but this was for my least favorite season. Patrick Wilson deserved it 2 years ago.

 

Nice of Ewan to thank MEW considering she was THE BEST PART OF THAT SEASON and went completely unrecognized in every major awards show

 

Aren’t they dating?

 

Patrick Wilson was so underrated in Fargo S2. So much of the praise went (deservingly, of course) to Bokeem Woodbine, Jesse Plemmons, and Kirsten Dunst that I always thought he was sort of forgotten about. He really anchored that season.

 

First Plemmons and Dunst, now Ewan and MEW? I guess Noah Hawley is just playing matchmaker

 

Daniel Kaluuya looks so unhappy to be here lol

 

They definitely chose the most hilarious clips for Get Out, Nominee for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

 

Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman also briefly dated

 

There should be a Lakeith Stanfield Awards, where we just give Lakeith Stanfield awards for all his roles because he deserves them.

Note: I haven’t seen and will probably never see Death Note.

 

Maisel!

 

Shirley MacLaine did call him "Daniel Kahlua" earlier, so
