It was more a commentary on how out of touch I am becoming with the mainstream but I guess we should never let an opportunity to be a weasel go to waste.

I mean you can watch Oppenheimer on Peacock, its worth the watch. Adebisi and I are on team Poor Things, the movie is bonkers, Ruffalo is funny and Dafoe plays a crazy man. Holdovers is another great flick and a permanent rotation on Christmas movie spree. I liked Killers of the Flower Moon, its a extremely well made movie where Leo took a chance to not be the smartest man in the room and DeNiro was an extremely well acted evil SOB.
Not everything is woke trash, I've been meaning to watch Anatomy of a Fall as well but its a French film and those are real hit or miss with me.

You guys need to just not decide what a movie will be like without watching it lol. Cough EEAAO cough.
This movie is the opposite of I'm black y'all. It's pretty much roasting liberal faggots who want them to be I'm black y'all.

Most can't even bother to watch the trailer which would have made it obvious as well. Which begs the question of why post about the VOD release of a film you're not even willing to watch the trailer for...

i never watch trailers anymore most of them give away the entire plot. but the fastest way to get info on the internet is to post wrong opinions, there's always a motherfucker looking to correct you
i did download american fiction (Jeffrey Wright is a fantastic actor and was awesome in Westworld) and will watch it after Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall and Past Lives, those are the 4 oscar movies i didn't watch i will sometime this year during a slow period. Not much interest in Zone of Interest or Maestro. I really liked Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer and thought Poor Things and Barbie were fine. 2023 was definitely the year I watched way more oscar movies than the past 10 years probably combined.

First Oscar's in a while that didn't feel all affirmative action. Godzilla special effects. Hayao Miyazaki for animated and Nolan sweeping

Almost that time again! Where best picture qualifications require you to meet diversity standards or they will not let you be nominated!
Anyways. Here's my top movies I saw from 2024. Note that some came out in 2023 in festivals but went to theatre in 2024.
Honourable mentions to:
Furiosa
Alien Romulus
Deadpool and Wolverine

It's that time again, faggots.
Here's what I've seen so far and how I rank them:
1. Poor Things - Yorgos Lanthimos is prob in the top three best directors of the past decade. Imagine a Tim Burton dark comedy fantasy only Tim Burton still makes good movies (shots fired?). It's hilarious, it's whimsical, it's delicious. Dafoe, Ruffalo, and Stone _should_ all get awards for their work. Go see if you can handle all the boobs and dongs.
2. Oppenheimer - You know what this is. Just a masterful work by one of the best.
3. The Holdovers - I heard someone describe this movie as "cozy" and I agree. It's like a warm blanket on a cold day. It feels good and you'll feel good watching it. It also looks like it was filmed in the 70s.
4. Killers of the Flower Moon - It's long. It's heartbreaking. I wish it was written a little differently??? I dunno. I'll give it a "pretty dang good". Lily Gladstone nailed it and is awesome and deserves Best Actress for her role (though if I had my Davey-way I'd give one to Emma Stone in Poor Things too)
5. Barbie - Most have seen. It's just good ole fun here. Prob not a best picture but I'd watch again.
6. Anatomy of a Fall - Great acting and interesting story. Not something I'd watch again but I appreciate that it's here.
I'm basically saying go see Poor Things
Poor Things is on my list. I sorta hate-watched the other two weird movies by that director so I might as well watch that one too.
For a minute I had Killers of the Flower Moon mixed up with Where the Crawdads Sing, which I've been trying to remember the name of for a while. WTCS is really good and the lead actress is fuckin' gorgeous throughout the movie. Especially the way she hunts and fishes and fends for herself while wearing tight jean shorts. Like a movie version of that one southern Tiktok girl that everyone likes, who catches fish.
Anyway just wanted to mention WTCS and how much I liked that movie.
Looks like a shitty bunch of movies for 2024. Should probably give Best Picture to Nosferatu and call it a day. Longlegs is on my list. Love Lies Bleeding looks sexy, is it actually sexy?

Love lies Bleeding is super lesbian but its pretty badass tbh. Longless is creepy as shit and has insane version of Nic Cage. The Brutalist is currently the odds on favorite to win best pic atm but I havent seen it. Dune 2 was probably my fav movie of 2024 for eye sex, Substance for pure craziness and Nosferatu for Eggers.
If i had to vote i'd prolly vote for Anora this year. Its a lot like Good Time with Robert Patterson, but you can def tell its made by the guy who made Florida Project lol. Had the Sadfie (Uncut Gems) energy. IDK maybe it wasn't the best but it had my favorite performance, Mikey Madison went HARD.

Brutalist or Conclave should probably win, but Elilia Perez will probably win (undeservedly)
I'd like to see Sean Baker win something, maybe he gets best orig screenplay.

The only mass market films are Dune and Wicked, and Dune is in the sci-fi technical nomination ghetto (e.g. where most Nolan movies ended up prior to Oppenheimer).
The ratings on this are going to be atrocious.
As to the actual awards, the euro and nostalgia blocks are split multiple ways, but I would guess The Brutalist, given it also got a director's / cinematography / editing noms.
Not a lot of love for Nosferatu.
