We will be watching the "Sinners" this year, who claim a record 16 awards and theoretically can take everything. And "Battle after Battle," which out of 13 nominations can take 12 home (two supporting actors are represented).
There's a maximum of 2-3 Oscars, and that's for music, costumes, and maybe editing.
They'll give away all the basics to Battle, Marty, and the Sentimentalists.
That is, another festival trash.
And Plemons wasn't even nominated for his amazing performance in Bugonia...
it's going to be a very weak Oscar.
May they not give the "Sinners" so much, I'm talking in theory. I think so, about three or four technical awards are their ceiling. Most likely, "Battle after Battle" will win five awards and it will be the most awarded film of the year. And all the records will stand again.
And did you hear how they decided to change the composition of the film academies? Wouldn't the majority of white-skinned and traditionally oriented pensioners be there? The right thing to do is to recruit young women who are ethnically diverse, i.e. not those who like/understand films. And those who are on the agenda. For example, Billy Eilish is now among the academics, God forgive me.
Even if a digger and a half watched a movie or a TV series, but I was interested in something about the description, the frames, the actress / actor or something else, then I will take note of it. And I'll get it if possible.
Sometimes, of course, you have to pay attention to the crowd, but I somehow feel more comfortable when there is no excessive noise and hubbub.
Of the rare new series, I'm going to watch the adventurous British comedy "Can you Keep a Secret?" in the coming days. https://myshows.me/view/97980/ . The scenery reminded me of a country house from my past. The main character's parents are quite eccentric. The humor is a little dark, of course, but it fits the theme. In general, I like to watch something about weird families from time to time, sometimes it's even useful.
And as for families - oh yeah, I love that too) It's especially cool to look at a lot of things from the outside and then think about it, so as not to bring this into your life)
It's even a shame about the legend of Gone with the Wind.
The list suggests more recent films: Oppenheimer and Schindler's List are at least.
