the oscars

Jane Fonda 82 I still wood.

The Irishman completely overlooked and rightly so....Biggest pile of sh1te with I have ever seen.

This ceremony is now 92 years old and I hope it never gets to its century.

Nauseating backslapping from a bunch of narcissists but from here on in, any black / female worker in the industry must wonder if they've won their award due to their talent or because they tick the 'right' boxes

Tbf Irishman was never going to do much at awards , more a sentimental journey for the cinema legends

in time it will be better reviewed as folk look back on it and its taken for what it is

hypocritical virtue-signalling filth


archives nothing except further firming up the Trump vote.

Winning film from South Korea, then Joq Phoenix going on about animal rights with out mentioning the said dog eating South Koreans. Brad Pitt is just a tw@t.

That’s illogical Captain.

The Oscars 2020 has kicked off with a huge statement from Janelle Monae as she sang ‘Oscars is so white’ in her opening performance.



Janelle then went on to tell the star-studded audience: ‘We are celebrating all the women who directed phenomenal films. I’m so proud to stand here as a black, **** artist, to tell the story. Happy Black History month.’


Nauseating.

Ahh Betfair blocks the q word even though said q is proud of it.

Que?

doing a cinema double tonight

parasite/1917

will get back with reviews

I'm not knowlegeable enough to discern whether the Acadamy actually does harbour inherent prejudice, but from where I sat and watched teh show looked pretty diverse to me. But any backlash over the exclusion of female directors surely defeats itself if they persist in separating the acting awards by gender.
Whatever - positive discrimination dilutes the purity of any meritocracy. It should be resisted in every walk of life as much as vigorously as should negative discrimiation. If the latter is present, the former does not redress the balance.

I think we should hand it over to the queens of the catwalk.  May be a role for me there.

Box office success depends on the actors, so I can't see any problem whatsoever.

Long may those who pay the piper continue to call the tune.

Except for the BBC of course, and their days are numbered.

just seen 1917

very slow

disappointed not many battle scenes,

6/10

xmoneyx- my thoughts too.

A film that is all about Mendes. Yet another missed opportunity.

parasite

subtitles don't spoil it - edits are short

dark comedy that gets darker & darker

9/10

Did anyone actually win an award on merit this time, or was it just the pseudo-woke and/or people who aren't white Christians ?
