Mank (David Fincher, 2020) • Page 2

As someone else pointed out Gary Oldman in addition to being antisemitic is also playing like a 45 year old also I hate the title

I'll still love it though

 

Chicago 7 seems WILDLY disliked in a lot of places

 

Chicago 7 feels like something that will get a bunch of noms but no wins

 

Mank is the front runner for pretty much everything it gets nominated for imo. Beloved director who is beyond “due”, a star who is respected and liked (despite being a huge pos) playing a Hollywood legend, and a movie about Hollywood/making movies. That’s as close to a perfect recipe for great Oscar success as you’re gonna get tbh.

 

Yea I think Fincher might be a lock for a best director win here. Best Picture is always a crapshoot (see: 2018 was Green Book but then 2019 was Parasite)

 

But also no one has seen this movie so let’s pump the brakes a bit.

 

lol yes same

 

Adam Sandler is



MANK

 

We still have to have oscar discussions when there are no theaters open smh

 

when has that ever mattered

 

MANK!

 

right on cue, people are calling this the academy award frontrunner

 

its the blueprint for Oscar success lol it’s not surprising.

 

fennessey unsurprisingly seems very into it

 

In a better world we’ll get to talk about movies without a mention of awards

 

You guys missed the best one!

 

Guilty :(

looking forward to seeing this on Friday

 

Now streaming on Netflix!

 

This is really good, if not as purely entertaining as Fincher's best movies. The sound design and score are exceptional and do a lot of work toward creating the mood of films from that era.

Tom Burke as Orson Welles looks so much like Fincher that it cracked me up every time he was on screen.

 

This was solid. Fincher seemed to be having fun and have a lot on his mind, though it's not as complete quality as his best work.
