I haven't seen it but surely Elvis can't be worse than Bohemian Rhapsody?! (And how the hell anyone could think Mr Robot was Oscar-worthy is beyond me.)
@@spookavisionI fell asleep during Elvis. I was able to stay awake for the entirety of Bohemian Rhapsody. Being awfully inaccurate is much more interesting than just awful and boring.
Moviewise - you are on notification to make sure RUclips tells me you have a new upload! Always insightful, and from my POV, very pro-is it better for the storytelling, than razzle-dazzle, all unfolding with wit and entertaining editing. The Black Panther section was your most hilarious yet!
Your respect for "Babylon" may just get me to watch it. Definitely, Blanchett should have won for "Tar". But as Michelle Yeoh was highly respected, as was Jamie Lee Curtis, and since Blanchett had already won two Oscars (as Yeoh pointed out), it was time to honor those with long careers, but no Oscars. The question of why an actor/actress shouldn't win more than once seems irrelevant. After all, both Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole never won Oscars. Although between them, they were nominated 15 times.
I think it's fucking bullshit every single time the academy decides to snub some of the finest performances of the year, for an award to boohoo actor over here that didn't get it a looooong time ago. some of the most finest directors and actors never even got their award for an performance, but go it from an honorary one. and with that, is real class. compared to that fucking bullshit.
@@NessyBoy64 exactly, Blanchett was beyond great in Tar, she even surpassed her astounding Blue Jasmine performance. If winning an award is not about merit then what's the point, no wonder most are stopped caring about Oscars
Banshees should have gotten best original screenplay and best original score in my opinion, Even though Colin Farrell is my favorite actor I knew the oscars were gonna go for Fraisers sob story so I wasnt expecting a best actor win. The story though is the most effortlessly ive seen a film create a symbolic story while still having you be invested in the emotional struggle of the characters in a while. The soundtrack was haunting, beautiful and highly memorable. The track 'Mystery of Inisherin' is probably my favorite
It took me a few videos to get used to your quips. But I appreciate your analysis of movies without being apologetic about it. Thank you for recognizing Babylon’s score and production design as well as elucidating it clearly on why Elvis also deserve a Best Actor win.
It's refreshing whenever a "genre" film is nominated for or somehow wins Best Picture. The Academy and many film critics and self-professed film snobs are pretentious as fuck when it comes to genre, often screwing their noses up at the thought that a genre film could be as good as some generic drama that nobody has ever heard of.
All Quiet On The Western Front should've been nominated for best director. He would've given the Daniels a run for their money. There wasn't a single uninteresting shot in the entire movies, from the opening with the fox hole to the very end.
Michelle Yeoh helped realise what you rightly called, in your other video, the best fight scene ever (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Nothing else matters.
In my opinion, actors in biopics shouldn't win awards; more than half of the work is done by the person being portrayed. Too many actors have been winning awards for their roles in biopics lately.
For me, the score for BABYLON (apart from the occasional Morricone-esque piano arrangement, which was awesome) simply doesn't cut it against the superior and truly against type score for WESTERN FRONT. But to each his own. keep up the great work, I love your videos.
I guess it's time for me to disagree about the All Quiet score *cracks knuckles* I thought the score was just ok until I got hit in the face by the synthesized 3-note motif, which doesn't enter the picture until they arrive at the front if I remember correctly. My first thought when I heard that motif was disappointment; it sounded too 'synthy' and doesn't belong in the year 1917, and I was expecting something more orchestral and natural. However that's a perfect fit to bring us into Paul's headspace: the front is nothing like what he expected, it's ominous, and all-encompassing. I'll also say this: no other score had me stop in my tracks weeks after viewing as this one did. It left quite the impression.
You forgot animation and there it is hidden - the best movie of the year, not Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (which was great) but Puss in Boots: The Last Wish!😘😛
Yes I agree with you that Michelle Yeoh did show acting range. He needs to watch it again. The danger of commenting on Oscar's fresh after they are chosen is that you don't get a chance to rewatch the movies and digest the choices. But fair enough. Personally I am a huge Cate Blanchet fan and close to a year before she won for BLUE JASMINE, I did review it on RUclips and claimed hands down she will be nominated and WIN! In TAR on first viewing I found her performance too mannered. It lacked soul BUT I will need to see it again. Definitely need to see it again.
Great segment! I love, love, love, love and am obsessed with Elvis! There I said it! But!! Having said it, millions agree! Please place your comments. 😅
The movie was weak. And it's hard for me to like the actor, because...Elvis. The real Elvis is on film too much for me to use as comparison, too often I feel this is an impression.
You can tell you didn't like the real Elvis, that was not a great performance...you obviously blew this one. He did a passable Elvis impression, he was never Elvis, he was a talent show contestant.
I couldn't complete Babylon...sorry. 'Everywhere' was too much as well, excessive. Couldn't complete it I'm sorry, it's a short cartoon stretched into a long busy mess. Both were excessive garbage.
Tar was a terrible film, filled with every cliche imaginable and overladen with meaningless references. Cate Blanchet phoned in a performance identical to the one she gave in Blue Jasmin and her demise was ridiculous and completely unimaginative.
Your opinion on Michelle Yeoh is stupid and gross. Are you kidding me? Michelle had no range and was not extraordinary? Michelle Yeoh won for having THE best performance in the category. She went above and beyond the script and won based on MERIT not career. How can you say that out of the four winners hers was the career win when the movie rested on HER shoulders and was re-written for her! WOC will never win based on merit to some people. Michelle made us laugh and cry at the same time with just a look. What a garbage review.
Everything Everywhere was a ridiculous, silly, over produced and overly woke pile of garbage. I love that Short Round won an Oscar and has made a heroic acting comeback, but that movie must have bribed someone or the filmmakers slept with the judging panel. It is worse than a cow patty cheeseburger.
Loved your Oscar coverage this year- you've been absolutely killing it. Please keep cranking out videos exclusively for my private enjoyment.
I appreciate that you can distinguish Best Actor from Worst Ever Biopic.
Butler deserved better

If it was up to me Peter O’Toole would have won twice, and Richard Burton three times. Two of the greatest actors ever

Will you do a review of 'Nude Nuns with Big Guns', 2010, sometime? Ground breaking cinematic classic criminally overlooked.

Aye! You used the port of shadows soundtrack!
Love to see it on the best filmmaking channel
I hate that JJ Abrams sickly saccharine mopish animated short film won when it was literally the worst one.

4:10 that was my reaction as well lol
I Loved Elvis including the screenplay
Michelle Yeoh helped realise what you rightly called, in your other video, the best fight scene ever (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Nothing else matters.
How is it that you're able to add the David Shire score Pelham 123 in every movie review? Not that I mind, it's great.
Are you gonna review this years winners? Please do.

If Elvis had been played by a trans woman it would have won best actor.

Ngl dude, I HIGHLY disagree with your take that Michelle Yeoh showed no acting range. But alas, that’s your opinion.
Yes I agree with you that Michelle Yeoh did show acting range. He needs to watch it again.

Would you listen to All Quiet's score for fun?
Me: Yes. Sorry, not sorry.
But i agree that it shouldn't have won
I listen to the music from All Quiet
Great segment! I love, love, love, love and am obsessed with Elvis! There I said it! But!! Having said it, millions agree! Please place your comments. 😅

Austin was robbed. An all time great performance.
Everything everywhere was an average episode of Rick and Morty crossed with The Joy Luck Club but not as good
I just can't watch Black pantter 2😂2h31min why, oh why🙈💯
Babylon is underrated and EEAAO is boring for anyone familiar with existentialism
The ultimate unpopular opinion, I agree wholeheartedly. If EEAAO hadn't come out that year, Babylon would've been the Oscar favorite.
Re Best Makeup- wasnt it all cgi?
Like zero prosthetics?
Whatever, "TO EACH, HIS OWN!".
Wtf? Angela Basset’s acting was good. I didn’t find it Oscar-worthy but calling her acting flat-out bad is so bizarre.
You can tell you didn't like the real Elvis, that was not a great performance...you obviously blew this one. He did a passable Elvis impression, he was never Elvis, he was a talent show contestant.
In my opinion a true actor is a one who goes by script and not doing any extras which just make even more awful and bore.
Would like to know your thoughts on rrr
I thought it was great fun, but I didn’t fall in love like so many did
I couldn't complete Babylon...sorry. 'Everywhere' was too much as well, excessive. Couldn't complete it I'm sorry, it's a short cartoon stretched into a long busy mess. Both were excessive garbage.
Tar was a terrible film, filled with every cliche imaginable and overladen with meaningless references. Cate Blanchet phoned in a performance identical to the one she gave in Blue Jasmin and her demise was ridiculous and completely unimaginative.
Everywhere was a bad movie, certainly not worth of all these Oscars. AFAIC the Oscars has no value anymore.
Your opinion on Michelle Yeoh is stupid and gross. Are you kidding me? Michelle had no range and was not extraordinary? Michelle Yeoh won for having THE best performance in the category. She went above and beyond the script and won based on MERIT not career.

Agree, stupid ass "reviewer". Another Cate stan. I was actually BORED by Tàr. Glad it didn't won anything.
Everything Everywhere was a ridiculous, silly, over produced and overly woke pile of garbage. I love that Short Round won an Oscar and has made a heroic acting comeback, but that movie must have bribed someone or the filmmakers slept with the judging panel. It is worse than a cow patty cheeseburger.
