A GIRLFRIEND!
We thought this day would never come
HE'S STRAIGHT!!!!!!
u got mentioned on twitter lol
He isn’t straight, just closeted.
The cat knows all...
Oscar expert is in LOVE. Look at the way he is looking at her 😂😂.
I know right? Like just fuck already losers
Honey! New Oscar Expert lore just dropped!
Mrs. Oscar expert!!! Lovely couple ❤
I've never seen Oscar Expert smile so much. Think he's in looooove. ❤
What a loooooooser
My jaw dropped on "this is my girlfriend" 😂❤
I was gagged. We all thought he was gay 😂😂
I know. I was certain that they were both gay.
@@singstreetcar5881 I'm still in the Boat that they secretly are
Shocked! Was sure he was gay. I need to recalibrate my gaydar.
I thought they were both gay and lovers!! Ya know like twincest??
The girlfriend is really confident and very articulate, she could be a film critic too.
No.
Nah we good. Just cause she’s Oscar “expert”’s girlfriend don’t mean shit. I hate these guys
Everybody thinks they are experts on movie reviews. She is a boring so called critic.
@@singstreetcar5881do u hate women?
Cayla is so awesome btw! Regarding Poor Things though, I definitely think if you don't have it in your Top 5 for BP, I think you definitely should be updating them ASAP! It's definitely contending in Actress, Director, Both Supp Actors, Screenplay, PD, Costumes, Makeup, & probably Sound. I don't see it getting Score considering the guy doing it is a legit no-name, and VFX just because the field is weak right now doesn't make any sense either
Having seen the movie, the score’s unique and stand out enough to the point that I can see it overcoming the no-name hurdle for a nom. It won’t really win though
I wouldn’t say VFX is weak, The Creator, Oppenheimer, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Dungeons & Dragons will probably all get nominated, and you have several other blockbusters that could get it like Indiana Jones 5 (as much as I don’t like the film, the Effects are mostly good) Little Mermaid is a maybe, and Blue Beetle as a long shot.
If it has momentun it won't matter. EEAO got in for score and song last year with no names.
@@gocinema252 I'm not buying Oppenheimer yet, and Dungeons and Dragons is not secure imo, Little Mermaid has a chance but that's kinda it to me. It's very weak and open to anything. I haven't seen anyone have the exact same 5 in the category yet surprisingly
@@joser1853 Yeah but we can't be sure of its momentum yet. EEAAO's momentum was clearly apparent in January, but Poor Things needs that to stay alive, so until January, I don't personally see a reason to predict them.
I don't think being complex or challenging is inherently good or bad. Some of my favorite movies are very simple and not challenging on theme. That's just more of a personal preference
Honestly saw it at Venice. It's my second fav movie of the past 10 years below Parasite but above EEAO. It's a masterpiece. 10/10.
A great taste.👍 But my three favorite films of the past 10 years are probably the French movie "Portrait Of a Lady On Fire", the Korean movie "Burning" and the American "Under the Silver Lake".
My Top 3 will be
The Handmaiden (S. Korea)
Shoplifters (Japan)
Capernaum (Lebanon)
@@tweentycenturyrock "The Handmaiden" is also very high on my list, surely in my top 10. By the way, last week I watched a new Chilean movie "The Settlers" (Los Colonos) - it's tremendous, I highly recommend it.
@@ktom5262 oh where did you watch it? I haven't seen many films from this year but the ones I liked that I have seen this year are - Wild Tales, Holy Spider, Concrete Utopia, The Blue Caftan, The Last Film Show, and Hit The Road.
@@tweentycenturyrock It was screened during the International Film Festival in Warszawa, Poland. Chile has selected it as its candidate for the Oscars 2023. Just a few minutes ago I thought of two other excellent but not well known movies I had watched last year: the Australian "Babyteeth" and Peter Greenaway's "Nightwatching" , though this one is from 2007. Both are highly recommended.
I can't wait to see this- I'm gonna love the story, the cast, and the character arc and FYI i love how nobody ever answers their questions at the end. 😅 If i had to choose a set to eat though, I'm guessing that Poor Things will have more delectable items.
Love those ultra wide lenses ! Hardly any directors shoot that wide these days
I'm stoked for this one, but I'm gonna keep my expectations at bay after watching this review. I'll be watching it as soon as I can, and I'm expecting to love it.
Mr. Oscar expert is all shy shy and blushing..aewww so cute😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I saw the movie at a festival in Sofia and I saw myself in Cayla, maybe we share the same brain, Lanthimos is also my boy and I adore him, I feel exactly like her, a 9 out of 10 as a sucker for his work, but I agree with all the critics. Sadly, the movie is a comercial take of the Lanthimos style, The Lobster, The Favourite, Killing of a Sacred Deer and Dogtooth all remain superior for us - his loyal fans.
And if you want to dive in in this world, watch the underrated masterpiece The Great (3 seasons, 30 episodes, all written by the brilliant mind of Tony McNamara).
If I had a nickel for every time i've seen Emma Stone in a Yorgos Lanthimos movie distributed by Searchlight Pictures, I would have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice 🤷
I enjoyed Poor Things a lot! 8/10 for me.
i get the sense that this film is going to be the Tech-Heavy awards movie along w Oppenheimer.
Brother Bro is looking fiiiine....
Been working on them biceps…
Hot!
I agree it’s not very challenging but it didn’t really bother me on the second watch, and I think we do dip enough into darker territories that it suffices, I think the whole third act is also a display of the dark side of humans , despite the ending being a high
“This is muh Gurl Fend” -Oscar Expert 2023 😎
She’s fun, wouldn’t mind if she was in more videos
Too bad he's Her boyfriend is Gay
Yeah maybe some pornos? Oscar expert rails his gf?
Do the fish lens scenes have any meaning or it was just for style? I was trying to figure out what he was trying to say when and where he was using the fish lens.
I have the same question
Just watched and had the same question! I think it’s stylistic, but I also noticed a common theme of discovery and sort of looking into/observing Bella’s actions. Would love to get other opinions though.
Ok do I still have a chance with Brother Bro tho?
I’m sorry Duane, he’s also taken.
Is she Oscar expert's expert?
Ruffalo 's pursuit-of (+ checking /complementing) Stone at the outset of her erratic /to-wit impulse-driven 'overture' on a posh Lisbon dance-floor --- indeed assimilating his step & timing w/ Emma 's crass 'foray' of-sorts (+ w/ aplomb, no less) --- is unprecedented in cinema; ...if 'nt sheer magic withal! A 'neat contemporary-dance 'precedent' (video-short) would be 'To Get Her' (by 'Jukstapoz Dance Co.') from a decade back. Inasfar as their (overall) prowess as 'accomplished thespians' is an issue, I find Emma & Mark (+ Wilhelm) quite convincing --- given the abject complexities exacted by the plot 's (abstruse?) roles, as such --- + inasmuch as the scenario allows for any & all juvenile(-or-no) propensities (vis a vis one another) free reign thruout! ***THAT SAID, + irrespective of how said protagonists are ever intriguing, enthralling + what-have-you (thruout); ...i 'm NOT comfortable w/ the crass, to-wit unnecessary 'porn' (for lack of a better word) this flick 's riddled-w/ during it 's 2nd-half! Just 'cause others (incl. Emma; as fellow producer) are funding one 's ambitions-on-screen should 'nt give an abjectly 'irreverent' director 'carte blanche' to screw w/ convention!
Cat.
Poor Things was good, but a bit weird. The sex was a bit much, but brief so I was ok with it. This or The Holdovers should win best picture. Overall, the last two years have not been great Oscars wise. CODA was the last great Oscar year.
Y’all aren’t tapped into the Oscar Expert lore. This dude had a different girlfriend before
No no no he’s still with her too. Oscar expert is a Mormon actually and keeps adding potential wives to his relationship
Just saw Poor Things, it just arrived to Mexico. I felt it was Pinocchio, exactly the same story: it was created, no parents, has to learn and grow quickly, takes on journey without the consent of the guardian, and the list goes on and on and on. That’s why I got bored quite quickly it was almost too predictable how it was to end. I guess that’s why Brother Bro it made a circle. Aside the technical and histrionic achievements, I did like it, but didn’t find anything special.
How have people seen this already? I thought it dropped December 8th earliest?
Next you're gonna tell me Brother Bro is straight. Don't do this to me! 😢
They’re both straight
So, I had very high expectations and finally saw it yesterday. here's my opinion: Emma's acting was not as fluent as ever, it was the very first time when I felt her "acting" rather than just being that character. I don't think that this was her best performance, because there were moments I found inauthentic or overacted, seemingly "do as if". Then the whole problematic with male gaze, the non-consensual sex with a minor (brain), the centre of the story being a sexual exploration etc. I mean, I get it yes and if I skip all my ethical and philosophical viewpoints the film is entertaining and nice to watch. I can't understand why anyone would call it a Masterpiece but certain scenes and moments and all the technical categories were exceptional. All in all, I was not disappointed but I'm pretty neutral about it. The movie and story didn't hook me. Mark Ruffalo saved it for me and some funny scenes. Maybe I will think of it differently in 5+ years?
Looks epic. Can't wait!
Same here. I thought Gerard was out of place here, i wasnt sold on his voice of reason acting, didnt fit him.
I loved Poor Things! Movie of the year for me!
This entire video is on the spectrum, and I am very much here for it.
Considering that it won't be released in the UK until January 12, is it able to qualify for the 77th BAFTAs?
Dude, why on earth would Searchlight not qualify Poor Things for BAFTAS? That makes zero sense. It’s a British production!
The films must be theatrically released before end of February not by January 1st like with the Oscars. Last season it was February 17th.
In 2020, Parasite WON two BAFTAs before it was released publicly in the UK a week later.
In fact a big portion of Oscar and BAFTA contenders come out January and February in the UK every year. You never noticed that?
@@pb.j.1753I did not notice that actually

i agree with you, i think the first half is flawless and hilarious while the second kinda just falls off. to me the movie hits too much on the sexuality aspect while other interesting themes get left behind too underdeveloped (i.e. bella's political and philosophical views as a woman). in the end it just feel like yorgos lanthimos is doing a apology letter for being a man, and not a sincere critique. but its still a great movie, and that cocaine joke by willem dafoe made me laught out loud
Having watched the movie, does Poor Things have any narrative to be the movie of the moment? Right now it's definitely Killers of the Flower Moon but Poor Things just keeps on getting more buzz, and Oppenheimer seems to be losing steam in this stacked year
Also welcome Mrs. Oscar Expert!
Oppenheimer loosing steam? Just because a movie isn’t currently out or about to come out, doesn’t mean it’s “loosing steam.” Oppenheimer is most definitely a frontrunner, if not THE frontrunner, for best picture and director.
Poor Things has a lot going for it. It's hilarious and weird and delivers surprises.
I watched it too and didn’t get movie of the moment vibes at all.
@@pb.j.1753clearly you saw a different movie. This is quite objectively the film of the moment. Barbie walked so this film could run
I want brother bro to do furious jumping with me!
Many thanks to OE, BB and Ms. OE! 🧠 It worked for me.
are you kidding? So completely originsl and you're going to quibblle because you imagined a different ending or her evolving differently?
Awww that's cute!!
Honestly hate to say it, but I kind of hope Dafoe gets snubbed for Charles Melton (May December). I preffered Ruffalo in this movie, and Downey Jr, Gosling, and De Niro are near locks.
“near” locks? They’re actually locks!
@@seankoontz4235 Ya never know! In stacked categories like this, presumed locks can get snubbed
Melton won’t happen
@@pb.j.1753 Not as likely as the other 5 rn, but 'won't' is wayyyy too definitive for this time of year
Best actress is between Lily Gladstone Emma stone and Sandra huller and Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman does not stand any chance
@@amirleo2051 what about the color purple girls
@@codeblack423oh I will love it, but then they have some colour issues so
Or annete benning or fantasial
It is worth watching the movie for me. Emma Stone should win as Best Actress at the Oscars.
this is a wondrous film!
It would have been better if the pregnancy and the whole baby transplant were revealed toward the end as a twist.
Poor things will sweep the golden globes. Best comedy or musical, best lead actress comedy or musical. Barbie isnt winning
This. I thought Barbie was, but Poor Things is a frontunner to win the Oscar's. Still, Barbie still will win some awards 2-3 techs.
It's amazing, saw it last night
I love Cayla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emma Stone really going for that 2nd Oscar
I wish Huppert won for Elle, than I wouldn't have a problem with stone winning a second. But damn... So many legends didn't score an oscar in their career and some has 2 or 3 too soon. Not fair.
@@ChrolliForeverJonah Hill has two Oscar nominations 🤢
@@pb.j.1753Why do you hate fat people? They’re allowed to get nominated for Oscars too
I'm one of the few movie fans who is put off by the trailer. I know that the Emma Stone character is supposed to be a grown woman with a baby's brain but she nonetheless seems over-the-top in a predictable way. I know "big acting" is sometimes called for but sometimes big acting, is just big acting.
Update: Putting my personal opinions of the film aside, from what I saw in the movie i really appreciated the acting (especially Emma Stone's), costumes, and the set. From a personal standpoint, I used to work with special needs' children so for the first half of the film i felt like she was almost being exploited when the sexual stuff started because her age is much younger than her adult body looks. Because i personally hate watching sex scenes in front of other people and especially in front of strangers, I left the movie early even before Mark Ruffalo came in. Since this film is getting so much acclaim, I WILL give it another chance and rent it, and I'll probably like and appreciate the movie (not love it). I personally agree with the critics who feel that her sexual liberation is told from a mansplaining perspective. I usually agree with positive reviews that the critics give of films, but sometimes I do disagree with them on occasion because of my personal tastes. But i WILL give this film another chance when I can rent it, so that i can give a more objective opinion regardless of my personal discomforts with the film.
It's getting worse. If you have these issues like me: there's really no need to rewatch it. why would you put yourself through it? for what? don't do it! You won't miss anything.
@@rays.9635Update; I watched it and I LOVED it. It's a very funny movie, and Emma was phenomenal. Nothing has gotten worse for me you don't know me from Adam, luckily I have therapy for my issues, Lol, and I like to watch movies that are different from my usual taste because I love analyzing film and challenging myself mentally.
@@rays.9635 I just saw it a few days ago, and I loved it. Emma Stone is phenomenal, and the movie was very funny to me. Putting the mansplaining regarding her sexuality and the developing of her brain aside, I understand why critics love the movie. Production design was amazing. While it's not my favorite film of the year, I do like to watch movies that critics love even if not all of them are my usual taste in order to challenge myself mentally and analyze film. Fortunately, I have therapy for my "issues," thank goodness.

SPOILER: Disagree on it ending where it starts. She moves from creation to creator.
Did Brother Bro just say "fuckable"?
Yeah why would he say that about Oscar Expert’s gf when they’re both right there sitting in the room. Like subtle much dude?
Two words--Rodrigo Prieto.
She`s a looker
What’s the girls @
♥️♥️
I feel like Britney during that interview when she found out Ryan Seacrest was straight 😂
LMAO! MTE.
Emma Stone has a chance to be nominated for Best Actress. But for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, Poor Things have big competition like Oppenheimer, Barbie and Killers Of The Flower Moon.
AN CHANCE. She’s absolutely locked for an nom
She’s definitely getting a nom. The win is the tricky part. I wonder if her already having an Oscar will help her or hurt her come awards season.
Those are only three movies. There are ten slots.
@@nate-it9xq I have an feeling that 8 films locked are for Picture
@@harmenmoes9138 Why wouldn’t Poor Things be one of them? It’s got some of the best reviews of the year and isn’t inaccessible at all.
Nolan and Oppenheimer is overrated. Poor Things has the Best Direction and the Best Film of 2023 .... period. But it won't win because of the Prude Academy members
I'm shocked you're straight.
Anyway, I think Poor Things is probably going to be the Elvis of this year. Lots of noms just about everywhere, ends up going home empty handed.
they share nothing in common.
@BlackLikeInque It’ll probably win Adapted Screenplay, could very well win Actress, Costume Design, Picture. Still predicting Barbie for production design because of how unique and eye popping it is
Did Elvis win the Golden Lion? 🤡
Harpo? Who dis woman?
Lol
Im brother bros BF
Wait…what?! I thought you guys were a gay couple!
What?! They’re twins.
with this review, i am convinced more than ever that Barbie is gonna win. it’s got the package. it’s got the movie magic all the way to the very end.
if that's your takeway, I feel bad for you.
I will not be surprised if Barbie is not even nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress 🤷
Haha so sad
Such a sad man you are
Poor Girlfriend. Oscar Expert is clearly a gay fellow. Cmon now.
This is dumb. When is a gender relevant to someone’s relationship? Cringe my friend, disrespectful.
I love the Oscar experts but I agree
Clearly? How? Are we into stereotypes?

i saw this movie at the hamburg film festival and also thought it was a blast to watch.
but dude emma stone was naked 50% of the time and i was like are you joking what the fuck is going on
Really?
I’ve always had a thing for Emma Stone
