ViggyNash posted:I don't understand all the unconditional love for The Martian and Star Wars. The former had fantastic set production and Matt Damon being Matt Damon, and the latter had... idk, nostalgia value and good music, but the level of support those two movies got boggles my mind. Star Wars especially, because I think it's an undeniably bad movie and I'm utterly confused at it's universal praise, and I'm just as confused as putting The Martian up for Best Picture. Really? What do you hate about it? I am mixed on Star Wars.

Colonel Whitey posted:The Mad Max score was fine but extremely simplistic. John Williams' worst score would beat it easily. Minimalism is a thing.

Colonel Whitey posted:It wasn't minimalist though? Repetition and a lack of sophistication is not the same thing as minimalism. It worked well enough but it definitely was not Oscar worthy. It was.

Who will they give the Oscar to instead of Dicaprio? Please don't reward desperation, thanks.

Proposition Joe posted:I would have no qualms with Bryan Cranston winning because he did a decent job and gave one of the better performances in the category? And while you might be down on Leonardo DiCaprio he deserves, and will probably win, the Oscar because he also did a decent job and the competition for best actor is not nearly as competitive as the previous years he was nominated in acting categories. He should not get an Oscar for stunts and grunting. It was the nature of the role, but it is nonetheless true that it was not a showcase for great acting. It is such a dull category this year.

InterrupterJones posted:Everyone calm down. Redmayne isn't gonna win the Oscar since his performance in the Danish Girl was good not great, and Leo is gonna win the Oscar this year so everyone can shut up about him not winning it ever. If you'd seen both Danish Girl and The Revenant you'd already know this to be true. Leo was not very good in The Revenant.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Except that doesn't matter in the slightest and your 6-8 word posts aren't going to change it. Most wordsalads are not worth your time. Recently, I read a lengthy post that examined the differences between Nightcrawler and Taxi Driver. The author noted that Taxi Driver was no longer as relevant as it once was since people did not care about individuals that "do" anymore; they only care about those that do "nothing" and bask in attention. Bottom-feeders, in other words. The author claimed that Nightcrawler was a sign of this shift. I paraphrase, but that was the general point. The post was well-written and possibly evocative. It was also posted sometime in-between mass-shootings by some loner with issues that dominate newscycles for a few days - which could be any time in the US.

Bridge of Spies is worth your time, but it is nothing special. I don't think it should have been nominated. Creed should have been, though.

Mad Max really is loved in Hollywood. People may think the Academy held their nose while nominating it, but this is simply untrue.

Echo Chamber posted:When Hollywood felt guilty about all the Transformers movies that made fuckloads of money they handed the Best Picture trophy to a dignified prestige drama, The King's Speech. Roger Ebert predicted that with this reasoning. Roger Ebert's reasoning was not accurate. It won because it was not a challenging film.

The script was cringe-worthy and bland. So was Matt Damon. Take that, Neil Armstrong!

Raxivace posted:One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, as good as it is, is just good writing and acting from what I remember. On the stage with the same cast and script I'm not convinced it would be worse or different. I won't argue that Jaws makes better use of the medium's unique aspects, but Cuckoo's Nest is infinitely more engaging precisely because its human elements are better realized.
