What Happened To The Sly Vote? - Hollywood Elsewhere

Some good points but the top user comment made most sense to me

The simplest and most logical theory is that Rylance, a respected stage actor in his first really high profile role, who gave a rivetingly odd performance that utterly stood out against the usual shouting-for-an-Oscar theatrics, was the leading candidate from day 1 and the Stallone boomlet was a figment of the Oscar press's imagination.

Chris rock was solid. But. Jada is still more real than him as far as Oscar. Not going or caring is way more radical than pleading your humanity to these humanity lacking cacs.

But Chris still did his thing so daps. Ali g as well.


Anyone feel these cacs laughed a lil too hard at those "grandmother's swinging from a tree" references?

Shockingly. Dude's one of the greatest actors of all time and still only 41, could have 3/4 oscars already tbh, been in so many great movies and had some terrific performances. They're not typical "oscar-bait" as well like most other movies

Every time I hear someone use "literally" the wrong way, I always say the world is getting dumber and dumber and no one cares. We're headed for Idiocracy

Actually,sadly,because the English language is a fluid situation and always changing the definition of literally was changed. Because it was being used so often by people when they meant figuratively,the definition was changed to include that use.

Spotlight was boring, but I understand why it was boring. It's a movie where the story advances for the sake of the story (due to the nature of the subject), and not as a byproduct of the characters growing or devolving. The best stories in any medium are stories where the plot is advanced and driven by the characters weaknesses, failings, foibles, mistakes, stupidity, triumphs, et al.

Whether it's Hercules or Odysseus in antiquity, Citizen Kane, Godfather 1 and 2, Lady sings the blues, Casino, Malcolm X, Terminator 2, Memento, etc. shyt, even the bible is character driven.
