Official 2021 Oscars Thread

I figure they will cancel each other out and Sasha Baron Cohen will win Best Supporting Actor. Especially since he is the only acting nom for The Trial of the Chicago 7.

Oh boy!

I say Daniel has the arc not Lakeith. He starts and ends in the same place. The person with the arc is the lead. Daniel’s character goes through a full arc in terms of change. Bill doesn’t change much. They both go through stuff but bill is the same at the beginning as he is in the end.

I would disagree. William O'Neal's story was the plot of the movie and what happened to Fred was a part of O'Neal's arc.

Just because O'Neal started out as a piece of shyt and ended as a piece of shyt doesn't change that the piece of shyt was the primary focus of the movie.

To add to @Jello Biafra's point, LaKeith did have an arc in the fact that he went from being a just stealing scumbag to one that had inner conflict and turmoil about what he was doing and also even believing his character to the point his inner conflict eventually gets the best of him from the epilogue status.

See that’s where I disagree too. By definition, the lead is the person with the arc. Just like in training day, Alonzo was the focus of the movie in some respects and had the larger performance, but he’s not by definition the lead role. Ethan hawke is the lead because it’s his arc. That’s how I feel about this movie

And yet, just what Oscar did Denzel win for that movie tho, lol!

asterisk ass year. why even bother when all you can nominate are boring ass streaming service crap. no one cares and this doesn't matter, give Sonic a bone for the slightest injection of fun. Netflix gonna use this fake Oscar year to raise their price again and pump out more diarrhea streams that people overrate to high heaven.

What weird-ass discussion is this regarding Judas & The Black Messiah? One could argue that they are both leads but if it's only one of them then clearly Lakeith is the lead.

Anyway, outside of the expected but absolutely disgusting love for Mank this is actually one of the more solid Oscar nomination lists in years. That limited release slate ended up being good for one thing. The biggest snub here is Delroy Lindo.

Also, all the people who voted that trash screenplay for The White Tiger in need to be thrown out. fukking awful piece of overwritten expository garbage.

So much for Sonic the Hedgehog being nominated for Best Picture.

 

[1thouwow]

is Mank?

in the most miserable year in modern history, i can't fathom sitting down and dedicating time to an endless amount of streaming service quality prestige dramas. I will watch Judas, Sound of Metal and One Night in Miami one day, but can't even try to get in the midset to watch some depressing shyt about an asian family starting a farm in the racist south, or some middle aged woman living in her van. Trial of the Chicago 7 isn't good either. i'd actually argue it was "bad." Sasha's accent was terrible and inconsistent. I thought he was brutal in that movie. Everyone else was mostly forgettable, but he stuck out as bad and i love the guy.

Palm Springs was better than 95% of this shyt

is Mank?

1930s Hollywood is reevaluated through the eyes of scathing wit and alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz as he races to finish "Citizen Kane."
Director: David Fincher

Justice for Delroy

Justice for Regina King




Delroy got absolutely SHAFTED. I would have given Spike a nod in Best Director for Da Five Bloods also but if it came down to him and Regina I would’ve went with Regina this year.


I also feel Shaka King isn’t getting enough love for his directing but he can get an Oscar if Judas wins Best Original Screenplay



I just REALLY want to see Daniel win Best Supporting. He and Chadwick had two of the three best performances of the year in my opinion (the other being Delroy)


Chadwick will 100% win Best Actor. Thats a lock. I remember watching him in Lincoln Heights and to see how far he’s come and having passed away just as he was about to be crowned the new Black King Of Hollywood is fukking depressing
