Man, Anora really did not land at all for me. I know I'm a Brutalist fanboy, but it's such a bigger accomplishment and better movie to me than Anora. Also, Villeneuva should have been nominated and probably won.
I think Anora was more successful in achieving what the director aspired to do than The Brutalist.

The Brutalist reminds me of There Will Be Blood versus No Country for Old Men. PTA tried to make one of the greatest films of all time, and did make an excellent film; but the Coen Brothers made a nearly perfect version of a less ambitious film.

I mean. Great. But a sympathy Oscar won't overshadow that he should've won for this particular role.

Eh, wrong person won. Demi Moore was much better.

Madison absolutely deserved this over Moore.

BTW, it's a birthmark, not a hickey.

Did we just honor the sex-worker community at the Oscars?

2025... what a time to be alive!

Anora was fine and well made, but didn't have anything interesting to say. There wasn't any depth there. I can talk about The Brutalist for hours.

Billy Crystal and Leanne Rimes. Odd combo but whatever.

I'm just a layman here, so screw me if I'm wrong, but I really think the amount of work, prep, immersion and execution for Dune: Messiah pales in comparison to Complete Unknown. It would be a Leo Revenant situation.

Not really. The Oscars bunco popular trends like that frequently. Last time I remember a popular film nabbing lots of accolades here was Return of the King.

Why did everyone groan at that 'rest of your life' line from Crystal?

Oppenheimer last year made a billion so it was kind of popular.

You know what I mean. Popular in that it's based on IP or another property. Not an original story. And yes I understand Oppenheimer was adapted.

For the record I'm not arguing Wicked should've won Best Picture. At all.

I would've had no idea that's what you meant by popular.

That's probably because they paid for the biggest or one of the biggest marketing campaigns in Hollywood history. WSJ even wrote an article about it before it kicked off that we were all about to be inundated with Wicked ads back when it kicked off.

Do you like boobs?

Because the film includes a LOT of boobs.
