Oscars 2025 • Page 21

Sing Sing is fantastic but cool brag

 

I liked The Brutalist a whole lot. Definitely the most technically well made film of anything nominated. I think a few other films had tighter scripts and more standout performances so I dunno if I'd pick it for BP. Certainly think it should win for Director and Cinematography though.

 

Haven’t seen Emilia Perez or Wicked. Wicked is still $20 to watch and yeah not watching Emilia Perez.

 

Wicked hitting Peacock 3/21. It'll be after the Oscars.

 

I'm Still Here turns out, is very good! EP the only movie on this list I fully hate

If I filled out the ballot:

1. Nickel Boys
2. The Brutalist
3. Anora
4. Dune: Part Two
5. The Substance
6. I'm Still Here
7. A Complete Unknown
8. Conclave
9. Wicked
10. Emilia Perez

 

1. Nickel Boys

haven't seen emilia perez or I'm still here

 

Can’t wait for some spoiler-y clips

 

if a movie is in position to win oscars I think it's fine to spoil it

 

Not everyone has the chance to see every film before the ceremony. I personally don’t care, but I just always thought it was an odd choice showing death scenes and shit in their clips.

 

yeah for sure but like, it's a celebration of the movies. how can you celebrate it without acknowledging the finished product

 

Use clips that aren't from the end of the movie? lol

 

Brutalist has fell to 3rd in GoldDerby's BP odds. Right now it's Anora 1st and Conclave 2nd.

 

or just like, be an adult about it lol

 

Conclave is gonna win and it’s gonna be lame and I enjoyed that movie.

 

Like I said, I personally don't care, but showing the very end of movie clips is weird. Idk what that has to do with being adult. If you wanted to show your friend a movie, would you should them a clip of the ending first? It's not just about you. The general audience watches the awards too. I'm just saying it's reasonable to not use scenes that give away the ending.

 

and what i'm saying is that, as an adult, you (not actually you but you know what I mean) should be able to understand that if you're watching an annual awards show that's celebrating the previous year in movies, everything is fair game

I don't think that's unreasonable at all and your example of showing 1 individual the end of a movie is pretty weak lol
