Hollywood is so last year. Literally no one cares about the Oscars.

I have oh so not been glorifying Hollyweird or the institution for years now. I literally have not heard of any of these films.

Easiest route to Oscar nomination? Make a trans movie and throw in an anti-Catholic one.

A Complete Unknown is the best movie of the year, regardless what the outcome of the voting.

I wanted to like Conclave but I couldn't get past all the ideology/stereotypes.....The Irish drunk Cardinal, The racist Italian Cardinal, The African Cardinal who fathered a child and then the crescendo..... The Intersex new Pope ! Go figure. I was so dam annoyed at the end and everyone in the theatre around me knew it.

I just flat out said something out loud right at the end when the audience discovers why the new pope went to the "clinic". I don't remember exactly but it was on the lines "of course they have to make this about gender issues...." . LOL. I think i threw a few people off guard.

They don't make GREAT films anymore. They now make garbage and once in a while something that doesn't suck.

Tonite I'll be re-watching The French Connection - one of those Great films, and the, by a lightyear, greatest car chase ever filmed.

RIP Gene, Betsy, and their dog.

As I recall the car chase in Bullit (1968) with Steve McQueen was pretty spectacular.

The Brutalist should win just like The Banshees of Inisheran should've beaten Everything Everywhere All At Once, but it won't because it's not a crowd-pleasing happy movie.

I've seen the trailer for "I'm Still Here" and it sounds like my kind of film. I had no idea this was happening so recently in Brazil. I also heard the Cinematography is exceptional so I'm not looking forward to having to focus on the (Portugese to English) subtitles.

The only one of these films that I have seen is Conclave and I thought it was excellent. I hope it wins more awards, I’d like to see it wins best cinematography because there are some really great shots.

UPDATE… As you may have seen or read it only picked best screenplay which is disappointing as it’s a good film with some great acting, this is one of the positive reviews…

“Reviewers were impressed by the superb acting of the cast, particularly Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, and the visually stunning cinematography that made every shot look like a painting”

However other reviews said the pace was slow, electing a pope is a slow process.

I suggest that everyone do as I do when deciding an important issue. As an ally of the LGBTQIAA++ Communty, I always stop myself to ask, "What would the LGBTQIAA++ Commuity want me to choose?"

So my answer here is the trans movie. It may be spiteful dreck intended as a spit in the faces of non-progressives, as many reviewers are saying, but who cares? We must vote for it to flaunt our moral superiority!

To be clear, I am referring to the one about the drug cartel leader not the pope.

News flash, the queer and trans community do NOT want you to support Emilia Perez.

It's full of gross harmful stereotypes, mischaracterizations, and misrepresentation to the worst degrees and it's embarassing that it got nominations, much less THIRTEEN. It's a horribly offensive script to the LGBTQ+ and Mexican communities and victims of cartel violence. Speaking as a trans woman whose LGBTQ+ circles feel similarly, Emilia Perez is garbage and just another tone deaf Oscars "Crash" moment. If you REALLY want to be an ally, you need to understand how films like it are problematic and harmful, not helpful. Just because there's a character said to be one of us or one of our own has a part, doesn't make it good when the script was written by a disconnected cisgender hetero white Frenchman.

The overwhelming predominance of beta males is appalling. But funny. At this point the Oscars only matter to those closely involved. I wonder if this is all on purpose, or inadvertent.

Speaking of beta males:

Are you old enough to remember the Bee Gees? For a year or more, they were the biggest thing in music. They owned all the Top 40-type lists.

And then, just like that, they disappeared because the world had gotten sick of them.

I hope Timotheeeeee meets the same end. It's long overdue.

If I had a little sister, she would pin him to the floor and take his lunch money every day of the week.

PS The Bee Gees music has aged well and they are a pleasure to listen to. Just check out the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Hell, I am a petite woman and I could pin him to the floor in three seconds. But then I would steal his pretty scarves. The huge irony about Timotheeeee (what was his mother thinking?) is that Bob Dylan is NOT a beta male.

Best film of the year was "Seed of the Sacred Fig." I'm sure the mullahs would be unhappy to hear this. But there it is.
