Moneyball is a great movie but the first hour or so is just so excellent

 

such an underrated resource - I especially like it for films where the DVD/Blu-ray has bonus content not available on streaming

 

I'm already standing in line

 

The 2000 Shaft has such a good cast between Samuel L, Christian Bale, and Jeffery Wright (who I always kind of laugh about seeing him this role after all the other roles I've seen him in in more recent years).

 

The answer would've been PSH.
Now idk. Michael Shannon??

 

Being Pete Davidson

 

i vote pedro pascal

 

John Malkovich

 

too focused on if our generation has a John Malkovich, not focused enough on if our generation has a Charlie Kaufman

 

Jordan Peele could write/direct

wait, but that's just Get Out

 

Nathan Fielder

 

Willem Dafoe

 

I feel like Being Nathan Fielder is essentially The Rehearsal

 

Highlighting short films is probably the only good thing about the whole ceremony.

 

It pays to read the thread you’re posting in

 

I’m actually paying to post. It’s fucked.

 

I haven’t watched either Kendrick or Swift’s films so I can’t speak to their quality, but you know the academy will be pushing to get these nominated in an attempt to boost ratings for the show.

I always enjoy the local screenings of the nominated shorts. While there’s always one or two which end up feeling like they just ticked some Oscar bait prerequisite lists, there’s always some off-kilter creative gems in there. I’d hate to see those ones lose exposure just so they can get celebrity cults to tune in for one night.

 

Felt like the short film category would be a lot of celebrities easy Oscar when Kobe won it, all of which sucks

 

The short film category has been a fraud ever since they snubbed Nathan Fielder's The Web even after it won at ELAIFF

 

That’s amazing
