Oscars 2025 • Page 6

September 5 is a decent film, nothing amazing but I saw that trailer about 50 times in the theater the last 3 months.

 

In terms of Doc Feature: The Remarkable Life of Ibelin got snubbed. I cried like a baby during that movie.

 

I thought Demi was good in the substance but Mikey absolutely should win for Anora.

 

The nominated doc Soundtrack To A Coup d'Etat is available for right now for free on Kanopy if you got a library card.

 

gonna see Nickel Boys this weekend, looks like Sing Sing is already out of my local AMCs again. might see if a different theater is showing it

 

My parents watched Emilia Perez the other day and said they absolutely loved it (after I warned them it’s gotten some mixed reviews) but I still refuse to see it lol

 

I was mistaken. They were as high as the 43 as 81 in critical tabulations. Definitely real movies that people have seen.

Best Movies of 2024 - CriticsTop10

 

Sing sing is out of the theater here but seeing nickel boys Saturday.

 

yeah I mean it's super frustrating when stuff that hasn't gotten even close to a wide release gets nominated

 

Nah in that category I gotta go with sour gummy worms.

Combos best overall

 

Haven’t seen the Substance yet but fully rooting for Mikey. She was so god damn good as Anora

 

Still need to see a bunch of the nominees, but mainly The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, and A Complete Unknown.

 

Challengers getting shut out is actually the worst

Still need to see I'm Still Here, but ranking the BP nominees:

The Substance
Anora
Nickel Boys
The Brutalist
Dune: Part Two
Conclave
A Complete Unknown
Wicked
Emilia Perez

I really love the top 6, ACU and Wicked are both pretty good crowdpleasers, and Emilia Perez is ass.

 

I feel like A24 botched the Sing Sing campaign, hope they announce a streaming date soon or bring it back to theatres! I am seeing a lot of people saying they have been unable to see it or missed that it was even in theaters. Also seeing people saying Colman could be a contender if the campaign for the movie was better.

 

they did bring it back to theaters here

 

i believe they put it back in a handful of theaters, and it is getting a Blu-ray release in March, so i'm sure it'll have more eyes on it soon

 

If anyone needs a cheat sheet, I made this list of every film nominated: Every Movie Nominated at the 97th Academy Awards

 

yeah it was back here for maybe 2 weeks tops

 

Sing Sing Blu-ray link for those interested: Sing Sing Blu-ray

 

wish it was 4K

 

Okay wait actually it looks like it’s back in Chicago, but it’s only playing at 11 AM at the nearest theater and every other showing is in the suburbs. Regardless, going to try and see it this weekend!

 

yeah, A24 is oddly selective with which in-house releases get UHD treatments. still bummed I Saw the TV Glow didn't get one (although the disc still looks fantastic).

like i like Kelly Reichardt's work, but why is her latest film getting a 4K when I Saw the TV Glow made at least 5 times as much in box-office returns?

 

Appreciate the Dune 2 nominations. Surprised at Nosferatu picking up a few.

 

It’s the first time since 1977 that all the Best Actress nominees are in a Best Picture nominee too! Which is kind of wild to think about!
