Howay 12447 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'd agree. Basically I think it comes down to that scene with the sloth though. That was genius tbf True that was oscar worthy. When he went to crack the joke ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just seen MBTS. Surprised at Williams' nomination. Was barely in it and really only had one very good scene. I did wonder about that too.  The last scene that her and Affleck are in together was excellent but to get a best supporting actor nomination for one scene I'd be looking for something more like Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19736 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 La La Land is excellent. Best looking film I've seen in a long time - beautiful colour grade. Â I'd be surprised if it got best actor/actress but fancy it for film, director, cinematography, music. Â It feels like the right moment for a piece of well judged and well executed escapism. Not usually a fan of musicals but it didn't overly rely on music or dancing scenes, there was plenty of dialogue and an original conclusion. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3960 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Cynical as ever but after the furore last year about diversity, whoever sat down and said "Let's make a film about a black bloke who struggles with being gay" was a marketing genius. (I realise its based on a book). Â Not quite as high as my all time cynicism benchmark of somebody suggesting to Cliff Richard to put the Our Father to the tune of Auld Lang Syne and realease it around the MIllenium but not a bad effort.

Dr Gloom 19736 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 so black lives do matter after all - even gay ones. Â Wrong film won for me. I thought La la would get it, I would have liked to see Manchester by the sea win. Â Glad to see Affleck get best actor, despite concerns over alleged sexual harassment. If you take each performance on merit, his was by far the most compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5889 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I feel sorry for him. They gave him the wrong envelope to go on stage with. Although he did chuck Faye Dunaway under the bus by getting her to read it  The twat who yanked it out of his hand in a huff wants pezzling too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take each performance on merit, his was by far the most compelling. I must be in the minority. I thought Affleck spent 2 hours pulling the same miserable face, hardly hitting the heights of the art form. Also happens to be the same face he pulls In every other film he's done. Brad Pitt does the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19736 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I thought it was a masterclass in understatement and what was left unsaid. That is obviously also partially down to superb script, but when his character did finally break down in the scene with his ex wife, it was all the more powerful becuase until that point all we'd seen was an emotional wall. It was just a gripping portrayal of grief and how people cope with it in different ways. Not exactly a Friday night popcorn flick but I found it completely absorbing and a lot of that was down to Affleck's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Thought Moonlight was awful. Tired gay cliches put through the black blender. Â Hacksaw Ridge and Manchester by the Sea were the best films with the best performances. Â Would have been funny if the announcement had taken longer to rectify and the whole of the Liberal left and Blacktivists had taken to twittah...

Park Life 70 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 La La Land getting best Cinematography is lax. Â Hacksaw Ridge had the best colour palette and colour grading with attention given to getting a digital shoot to look like Kodachrome of that era.

Kid Dynamite 5889 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The Oscars is a piss take these days anyway. They pick 4 or 5 films, normally about something horribly miserable and with shit earnings, and they clean up most of the awards  Lion and Captain Fantastic were easily better than Manchester by the Sea, La La Land and Hacksaw Ridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30243 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Quite interesting when you look at it historically and see some of the films that didn't win (and in lots of cases weren't even nominated). Citizen Kane didn't even win best picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
