Belated RIP Diane Keaton....Godfather...Annie Hall..........
I thought it was terrible. Maybe I just didn’t get it.Watched "Friendship," the recent Tim Robinson movie (available on HBO Max) and it was awesome.
I share this assessment. A part of me wishes they were released in different years so they could each clean up an Oscars.
We (okay maybe just me) eagerly await your predictions for the Oscars this Sunday.
Not my most researched year of film, but here's my best go!
Best:
-Picture: Sinners
-Directing: Ryan Coogler
-Leading Actress: Jessie Buckley (lock of the night)
-Leading Actor: Michael B. Jordan
-Supporting Actress: Amy Madigan
-Supporting Actor: Delroy Lindo
-Original Screenplay: Sinners
-Adapted Screenplay: One Battle After Another
-Animated Feature: KPop Demon Hunters

-Documentary Short: The Devil Is Busy
-Live Action Short: A Friend of Dorothy (willing this into fruition).
-Animated Short: Forevergreen
-Original Score: Sinners

-Production Design: Sinners
-Cinematography: One Battle After Another
-Makeup & Hairstyling: Frankenstein
-Costume Design: Frankenstein
-Film Editing: One Battle After Another

Hoping I can go back and watch Conan's open since we had split screen here locally because of storm coverage. They showed video but no audio.
Oh wow we have a tie for best live action short film. Can't remember when I've seen that happen at the Oscars before.
No shade to Sean Penn, but boo :-(
Really cool that they got RDJ and Chris Evans for this since we're 14 years since the first Avengers film.
From what I can find, it looks like he is either on his way to or in Ukraine.
Can't think of a better person to do this Rob Reiner tribute as part of the In Memoriam than Billy Crystal.
Grogu at the Oscars. I repeat, Grogu at the Oscars.

11/24. Not my best batting average, but overall a solid night of celebrating cinema.
A trailer that many of us have probably been looking forward to:
Saw this trailer yesterday prior to seeing The Odyssey and thought it looked good:
Illini92and96
- Austin, TX
Chili Fingers with John Goodman is coming out. It was filmed in Monticello and Paxton. Maybe some Illini garb can make a cameo.
Wow…that’s pretty kewl! Missed the memo on that one. Did they do any open casting calls for background people?
Illini92and96
- Austin, TX
Dunno. The article did not say much beyond that.
I can’t speak for Disclosure Day.
But I did see the Odyssey. It was entertaining and well done…as you’d expect from Nolan…
It wasn’t life changing or anything but does live up to the word “epic.”There were was a bit of nod to Harryhausen
with Cyclops. (At least that’s what I think they were trying to do.)
