Avalon (1990). Polish-Jewish family comes to the U.S. at the beginning of the twentieth century. There, the family and their children try to make themselves a better future in the so-called promised land.
They just don't make intergenerational family epics like this anymore. I was really moved by this one! Warm, funny, and sometimes quietly devastating, you really feel you get to know this family intimately, with all their grace and determination and foibles. It's bolstered by some really lovely performances, beautiful performances and a lovely score. Old fashioned, but in a really good sort of way. 8/10.

will anything ever compare to the feeling of watching Challengers in theaters for the first time when the camera suddenly becomes the ball
#challengers#challengers spoilers#i guess#absolutely criminal that challengers received no oscar noms. absolutely criminal#almost indicative of how just ... i wanna say like. corrupt. the academy is.#like not even best score??#wicked up for best directing and cinematography before challengers?#i like wicked but the most memorable shot is ''de-greenify you'' matching with the glass colors actually de-greening elphie#its good! its really good! its one shot. imo it doesnt beat all the great shots in challengers#i havent seen emilia perez but i would also hazard a guess that it doesn't hold a candle to challengers#it feels wrong to rag on it when i havent seen it but from what ive heard it doesnt deserve all 13 of those noms#i cant believe its snubbed for best original score too like#feels very ''well trent and atticus won for the social network so its someone elses turn this time'' which is not how it should work#but WHATEVER

Home Alone (1990). An eight-year-old troublemaker, mistakenly left home alone, must defend his home against a pair of burglars on Christmas Eve.
It's pretty easy to see why this has become the Christmas classic that it has. Charming, funny, with some real emotional catharsis, it just gets everythng that a Christmas movie's supposed to be. It's kind of wild, in that sense, that it was nominated for two Oscars, particularly in a year that was genuinely pretty stacked. I can't imagine a family comedy film like this being nominated like this today. 7.5/10.

keeping up with awards season has truly turned me into such a vitriolic and bitter person i think the academy should explode and there should be no survivors
#been watching so many nominated movies recently#to try to understand why saltburn is losing#but its just making me love saltburn more and hate the award shows that dont recognize it#i think it’s label as a shock value movie really killed it when thats obviously not what it is#like its so fucking beautiful and thoughtfully filmed#frame composition was taken into account in every fucking shot#but no cinematography nom#and the score is so amazing with big orchestral pieces that swell in the perfect moments#i still wake up with felix amica in my head#but no score nom#and not even to mention all of the incredibly talented actors who put so much love and work into this movie#who absolutely deserve to be recognized but they arent.#because it’s a shock value film.#and all of oliver’s confusion and heartbreak is overshadowed by viral cummy bath water tiktoks#its just so unfair lol#i could go on but. whatever. fingers crossed for baftas i guess.

#okay oscar nominations this year...several truly mystifying choices but nothing that i can truly generate the energy to be angry about#possibly because of literally everything else going on in the world rn but also possibly because the snubs were kind of expected#ms perez getting 13 noms...deeply unserious#dune getting the nod for bp but denis snubbed for director again. sorry to that man#conclave sweep??#i continue to be unmoved by anora but the nominations were expected and its fine#daniel snub sad but expected#challengers not even getting a nod for score IS a travesty#no other land getting a documentary nom is a pleasant surprise#meanwhile september 5 getting a nod for screenplay is literally a joke#and finally shoutout to sebastian for landing the best actor nom i know our alma mater is about to be so annoying about it <3#oh wait also double snubs for sayombhu mukdeeprom's INSANE cinematography work this year...i lied i am annoyed about that one >:l#keeping to the tags as usual because truly nobody needs to read all that#jo.txt

Whoaaaa Challengers for Score!!! Who are these people and what have they done with the Globes???
#I mean GREAT but I guess I was thinking of the Academy (which I really do not see as hip enough to give it to challengers)#but yeah I guess the Globes are different#(for those unaware -- the Oscars nominations are voted on by specific branches in the industry#the directors' branch votes for the director nominees#the actors' branch votes for the acting nominees#the cinematography branch does the cinematograpy noms and so on and so forth#and everyone can vote on the nominations for Best Picture#but once all the noms are in then everyone can vote in all categories#which is why you get some out there nominations in the tech categories that most people have not seen#but the people who are in the industry in fields like editing or sound design or cinematography have#but the actors' branch is the largest branch in the Academy and they vote differently#The Golden Globes are a critics/journalist awards base not an industry one but apparently they have REALLY shaken it up#also different branches in the Academy have different rules#The director's branch for example only gives voting privileges to people who have had at least one movie in the past decade to keep it more#current. The score branch is EXTREMELY old-fashioned. Which is why I don't think the Oscars are cool enough to recognize Challengers in#score bc they rarely nominate electronic scores#see them nominating Indiana Jones of all things last year#but then again everything is apparently chaos I just don't see the GG as being predictive this year#the way they more or less were last year)#lior liveblogs awards season
