The past few days it seems a “foregone conclusion” that 1917 will win best picture which is quite strange to me. I liked the film but don’t think it’s worthy to win best picture over at least 4-5 of these other films. It was a great year for movies...here’s my predictions of what will win vs what should win:
Best picture: Parasite or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood should win, think 1917 will win
Best Actor: Leo should win, Phoenix will win
Best Actress: Zellweger should and will win, but Scarlett has a case
Best Supporting Actor: Pitt should and will win, but Pesci was phenomenal
Best supporting actress: Florence Pugh should win, Dern will win based on her career/all the hype
Best director: Bong Joon-Ho should win, Mendes will win as it seems 1917 is getting all the love
Have at it!
You'll know soon
Lol
I can't hear the end part of Layla without quoting Goodfellas.

What a horrible sound mix.
At first, I thought they were bleeping lyrics. But, it became very obvious that wasn't it very quickly.
I think they might have bleeped some stuff, but the mic & instrument levels were all over the place. Actual audible clipping. For shame.
That's where they squeeze in nominations for the stuff they pretend not to like, but earns the most money for everyone. Marvels & Starwars, all that stuff.

Yet they send her out every year for some long, dull, stupid attempt at comedy (at the expense of the actual award winners).
she has never been funny
I like her and Kristin Wiig in certain roles; scripted roles. But, I find their schtick painfully unfunny every year at the Oscars and other shows.
They are horribly dressed
Disagree. She was a force of nature in that film.

But, what is the purpose of this performance? It's not very timely. And what's with the audio feed?

Glad you made that assumption. The answer is, no it applies to anyone who thinks their public persona gives them the idea that we give a shit about their politics or pet cause. As Ricky Gervais said so eloquently at the Golden Globes, “Thank your agent and your God and then fuck off.”
This only applies to liberals right? It's ok when Kid Rock, Ted Nugent or other braindead hillbillies spout rhetoric on stage?
Asking for a friend.
Maybe the worst rambling Best Actor/Actress speech I've ever heard.
I was desperate for music to play her off.
I left the room and came back a few minutes later and she was still up there...doing something?

Love, love, love the Parasite upset. Hear, hear!
1917 Marriage Story Jojo Rabbit and Joker were all incredible this year (and Uncut gems which didn't get nominated)
+1
Koreans really know how to make horror movies and this is one of the best ever .

was just an incredible film. Well deserved. Probably one of the better movies I�ve seen in long while.

Amen. Train to Busan is an all-time great.
He’s a tv actor. He’ll be in the one for the Emmys. Same with Luke Perry.
Didn’t Laura Dern also date Baron Davis?
But I digress. Great speech by her.
That's exactly why I have stopped watching all those shows. ALl these celebrities uses those stages as their own personal political forum and I hate it. Stick to what you are there for, like Ricky Gervais said

enough for the Oscars.

I think you’re right but I just thought both had enough movie experience for a mention.
I didn’t have a problem with it, he didn’t spend his whole speech on it, and he couldn’t be more right.
BTW, anyone hear Mike Leach, coach of Mississippi State last week during his presser? And his political input is fucking batshit crazy, but I don’t hear people telling him to stick to football.
Zellwegger’s speech was just flat out weird. Too much amphetamines?

The counter arguments are so aggressive now. Its fine if you don't want to listen to it, but its not like everything said is some wild hot take that shouldn't make you question things a bit.
I liked a lot of what Phoenix said. Some of it over the top but his main point is something I think is important. People lose sight of the things he spoke of all the time - why shouldn't he be able to speak about that?

Probably because nobody watches a Mississippi St press conference unlike the millions that watch the Oscars.
Bizarre comparison to say the least

All of this political shit becomes viral, I don't watch Mississippi St pressers either, but when you pick a side, and you have a voice, it becomes national news.
You don't understand my context, and I'm trying to understand yours. Are you saying your ok with Leach spewing his theories(putting it nicely), and not Pitt, because he has a bigger audience?
It's like you're trying to say people are applauding Leach instead of the actual explanation - people didn't hear what he said.
The fact that his comments "went viral" should tell you that he'd get the same response Pitt is getting about sticking to football.

I'm not okay with any of it. I just think it's silly to compare a college football coach's press conference to the Academy Awards where Brad Pitt, one of the most famous actors in the world, willingly ostracizes half of his fan base just to receive a round of applause from other celebrities that already agree with him.

And then those aggrieved members of the fan base can use their wallets to not pay to see any of his future films. So the consequence falls on him. So who cares?
It’s not like he’s advocating for mass murder, I don’t see what the big deal is. I hate politics and don’t want to hear it either, I just tune it out.

That's one way to look at it. Another is to admire the guy for speaking his convictions in the face of significant blowback that could damage career etc. I don't want to get this thread banned, so I'll keep it general without other specific examples.

Oh I agree, and it doesn't bother me at all. I tune it out or change the channel. I'm just adding my two cents to the convo.
But to believe that he'll receive significant blow back for this is comical. He'll be treated like a hero in Hollywood
For the record, I do not think Pitt’s comment even qualifies as lengthy political commentary. It was a throwaway line. Get thicker skin.
