Barbie (Greta Gerwig, July 21, 2023) Movie • Page 37

EEAAO is fantastic, people were just kinda obnoxious about it

 

Ferrara getting a nomination for this is weird. She wasn’t bad or anything but her character doesn’t really do anything of note in the movie except the monologue, which was a pretty corny feminism 101 speech that took me out of the movie more than anything, and wasn’t really acted out in any kind of interesting way.

Definitely deserves to win all the design / costume awards.

 

Really surprised this wasn't nominated for best makeup and hairstyling

 

Sylvester Stallone Says He’s Too Ugly to Play Ken, but Ryan Gosling Should Be the Next Rambo: ‘If I Ever Pass the Baton, I’ll Pass It on to Him’

 

Gimme a blue ray with a directors cut now

 

dang, that would've been fun! loved her since peep show!

 

Prob cause the clothes weren't sad and beige tbh

 

That’s the highest compliment Herzog can give a work of art

 

So he loved it?

 

Ryan instead of Billie? when we say Greta and Margot should've been nominated it's not a question of who we'd rather replace in their respective categories but rather shit like this that support the assumption that the Academy is largely made up of people who absolutely didn't get the message of the movie despite it being, as some would call it, feminism 101. maybe it's not the most deserving of awards/nominations, maybe it could've been more radical, but the way the Academy has been treating this movie (plus any other time a category leaves out a prominent woman or person of color--Celine Song for instance) just goes to show that the bar is on the floor and they still couldn't reach it

 

I think it makes sense to have (what appears to me) the more popular song performed

 

and again, Margot is nominated as a producer and Greta probably made a fuck ton of money making this movie, I bet they're ok without noms

 

Both will probably perform

 

or that yeah

 

Again, for me it's less about this particular movie getting snubbed and more how frustrating it is that people in charge of what gets made will watch the Oscars and think it's indicative of what audiences actually want when in reality the voters seem like a bunch of old out of touch white men with antiquated views on representation and diversity

 

The Oscars don’t really drive what gets made or else we wouldn’t have 20 super hero movies a year.

 

Also is the sentiment here that we don’t want to see I’m Just Ken performed? Because I absolutely do want that.

 

the counterpoint to this is us getting 20 biopics a year
