92nd Academy Awards (Oscars 2020)

Laura Dern essentially played the same role in Marriage Story that she played in Big Little Lies. An almost identical character.

Willem Dafoe's performance in The Lighthouse makes Phoenix's Joker look like Pippi Longstocking

It was a great performance from Dafoe, but at the same time, it's a big brash bombastic fun one, and they tend not to get the same credit since they're a bit disassociated from reality. Phoenix's having that manic intensity whilst also being grounded with realism and vulnerability is what made it stand out.

They wouldn't have been up against each other anyway though, Dafoe would've been up for best supporting actor if nominated. Think he most deserved one as best supporting actor in "Florida" a few years ago. Was phenomenal in that.

I can’t bring myself to watch Phoenix’s speech after reading the transcript. Painful.

I noticed no music played after 45 seconds for Joaquin and did he even thank anyone from the film

Keanu Reeves is so hot, does he even age

Brad Pitt is one of the most overrated actors of all time. Who agrees?

If anything he's been underrated due to his looks

Guess someone finally told Billie who the Beatles were.

I thought it was gonna be sort of cringe the way it started, but her version of Yesterday was actually very good, just slightly too quiet esp at the beginning.

They stuck Kobe in the In Memoriams, he's had some unforgettable performances no doubt but they were on the hardwood not the big screen AFAIK.

Did Billie not sing her Bond theme, debut it?

I watched Joker yesterday and thought it was fantastic, the best film I have watched this year. Pheonix was phenomenal.
Now I have not yet seen Parasite and I am happy that a foreign language film has won big finally.
My favourite foreign language films of recent years are Let the right one in, Oldboy, Pans Labyrinth, Biutiful, amores perros, all about my mother, crouching tiger hidden dragon. Is Parasite better than all of these??

Seen all of the above except all about my mother.
There all good/great movies and it sounds like Parasite is in your wheel house.

I watched it again last night after it won, rewards multiple viewings and a worthy winner

These award winning lectures from these multi millionaires is painful listening.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought Joker was overrated. I think it's a nice little mess of a film with a standout performance from Phoenix.

But... yeah. It's nowhere as deep as some people are making it out, in my opinion.

It might go pearshaped yet..... what about all those cinemagoers who can't read... Not very "inclusive"

Twitter is torn - a foreign film and the illiterate...

Unfortunately this is the way the world's going and the Hollywood elite are the main cheerleaders of this "diversity" crap

Yes so according to their logic they shouldn't award Oscars to the best film of the year because illiterate people can't read them.

Should they stop giving writers awards for their books too?

Also, do they realise that the vast majority of the world doesn't speak English so giving awards to foreign films so they're excluded from most films?

My hot take is overrated is the most overrated word in film discussion :pac:

I think it relies too much on criticising other people’s opinion of something / someone rather than actually making an argument about why something is mediocre or ineffective. I know it’s a small thing, but always better IMO to make your case rather than pre-emptively dismiss others

Also, and this is the most important thing: Pitt was pretty great in OUATIH.

murpho999

That speech from Phoenix was absolutely terrible. What was he on about.

Ricky Gervais got it right at the globes. Pick up your award, thank people and f%%k off.

It's his own Twitter account and he's entitled to put what he wants and people don't have to read it and they can follow or block him.

Very different to an actor receiving an award for acting. They do not have a mandate from people to tell us what to do.

Just accept the award for their performance, be grateful and graceful and leave the politics to the politicians.

i get that but if its a cause they believe in , this is a huge platform , I've got no problem with it .
if people don't want to listen they can turn over or not watch awards shows at all , ever since there have been awards , this has gone on
if everyone thanks their agent and gets off its going to be one boring show

Why?

I mean politics involve everyone. You might think they are removed because of their wealth and fame but I don’t see why they cannot voice their opinions.

Do you see footballers making political speeches when they accept trophies or awards for players of the year?

Why do actors think they have a voice to represent people. I'm all for free speech but don't appoint yourself as representative for the voiceless and think that the voiceless are concerned about the milk in their coffee.

It all comes across as pompous and self important to me.

i'd love footballers to make political speeches ,footballers tend to promote things for lost of money and talk in the present tense when describing a goal they've scored in the past , the actors are speaking for themselves , you have opinions of things , post them here , some actors don't use boards or any social media so are handed an award , told to give a speech for that award , might have something they then want to say , free speech

Next we'll have all ireland winning captains in hogan stand telling us about hospital waiting lists!!

Seriously though most of those receiving awards never worked a normal job in there lives. They're mostly millionaires living in cloud cuckoo land. Thankfully as soon as their pontificating started I quickly switched it off. The Oscars grow more irrelevant each year.

Arghus

How do people get so worked up about this every year? They make a speech, so what? Some people seem to be personally offended by this. You should really not take it that seriously.

Of course actors are going to be more talkative than footballers when accepting awards. And as for the GAA captains: their speeches are so boring, that they could do with a bit of anything to liven them up.

PressRun

Don't see why anyone cares. It's not like you're being forced at gunpoint to do anything a celebrity says during an awards acceptance speech. You're not even being forced to watch said acceptance speech. But of course people will watch them just so they can then complain about them.

He didn't say anything remotely controversial. People just love getting worked up and offended about trivial things and then accuse everyone else of being easily offended.

Delighted for Joaquin Phoenix

Great speech to
