Beast Anon back again xP I apologize for the late reply and I'm sorry to hear you were stressed. As always I would encourage you to take it easy where you can, friend :) I'm doing well, thank you for asking, and to answer your question, the reason I like those kinds of AUs and relationships isn't anything that complicated, I just...find them really wholesome ^^ With them, you're always guaranteed a certain level of fluff and slice-of-life goodness that's easy to imagine and can help get you through your day when you need that extra little bit of warmth in your day, ya'know? :D As for why I prefer it with some X-Men characters, well, I have two reasons. Firstly, with the multiverse being an extremely canon thing in Marvel, especially X-Men in this case, it makes the idea of these relationships and stories a kind of canon in themselves, and it's always so fun to explore that ^^ To explain that a little more and get into the second reason, when you're dealing with the X-Men, some of the most exciting and complex Marvel characters of all time, you know these situations are going to be more than just a daily routine, there's always going to be some twist/emotional adventure to explore along the way, and it adds a whole new depth to the situation. True, you could argue that to be the case with just about any fictional character but...c'mon, it's the X-Men! xD As for your soon-to-be recent viewing of the first two episodes of X-Men '97, I promise you a real treat, but, I am obligated to not spoil a thing ^^ Except this: OMG HANK FINALLY SAID THE THING!!! :DDDD

No worries, Beast Anon! I am glad to hear from you again, and there is no set time or need to respond immediately. What happens happens. And I finally started watching the first episode of X-Men 97 and so far, my thoughts are as follows:

• Roberto you sweet, poor child... You don't know the half of it-

• Who the f*ck is hiding Sentinel parts?! They're fr*cking HUGE, how does someone just move that around?! Someone knows something, how can you not when a single Sentinel arm is bigger than a car-!

• Go Morph! Mighty Morph-ling Power Ranger! (Well, X-Man)

• Wolverine, dude, please get over the love triangle; you and Scott were friends once, can you two get some team or friend therapy and try to talk about it for once?

• Where is the official team therapist? Nor the therapist friend, the actual certified therapist-

• Let the kids have fun!

• Roberto, they viewer-insert/new guy who is how everyone would react to the crazy shenanigans of the X-Men and Marvel

• Mr. Xavier, I am starting to believe you and Magneto really WERE more than friends, or were some form of QPR at the least

• And Magento is back! And more... oddly looking well for someone who is in their... 70s, I think? Wow. He's doing good (if you aren't counting losing his best bud and possible boyfriend, not to mention inheriting aforementioned friend's family, school, and property)

Aaaaand that is about how far I've gotten. I need to play a little catch-up😅😊

And now I really want to see Beast and Carla get together/have a secret date, watch Wolverine and Morph or Wolverine and Storm become a couple, get more Sabretooth and the Brotherhood in this show (please please please let them be brothers) (sorry fandom members who ship them, I view them platoncially!), hopefully they introduce Laura/X-23 at some point, someone let Rogue and Gambit get together, we know that is likely endgame, and yes yes yes Roberto can be Jubilee's friend (and maybe sibling?) (Whatcha wanna bet she's wanted one since the first year?)

And woo! Yes, platonic yandere genre! I get the points you've made: Platonic yandere could be canon in some way, and it's Marvel, so canon is a bag of 40+ flavor jellybeans and a 45+ flavor milkshake stand... Also, yes, X-Men add a certain flair to the platonic yandere trope. Surprise, super-poweree genetically enhanced people, and this random teen/young adult/child who they somehow procured. Que a normal Tuesday of crazy villains, more insane humans, some weird relationship issues and the break-up then make-up, and (gasp) surprise! You have been blessed with this new character to love! They're called Reader, they can be sweet at times, they are willing to use a metal bat as a weapon, and oh, and they are as addictive to y'all as catnip is to cats!

May I ask your top three favorite X-Men characters? Top three favorite heroes, and favorite villain, so four favorite characters? Do you enjoy how I write them (if I have written for them) as platonic yanderes? Do you want an older teen/adult cartoon or anime where the X-Men are platonic yandere over someone? I myself do, and I would have so manh ideas on it! Are there any duo platonic yanderes you like, where two team up over Reader or are both interested in the same one? (Ex. Rogue and Gambit, Kurt and Rogue, Wolverine and Sabretooth, etc.)

I hope you have a good night/day! I will hopefully get to the second episode of X-Men 97 tomorrow, and once the first season is finished for the series, I can add X-Men 97 to the X-Men media I will write for😊 (And if you want to discuss any if this more, I am all ears!)

#honeycomb thoughts #platonic yandere marvel #platonic yandere xmen #yandere x-men #platonic yandere #xmen 97 #go beast anon go!

Okay fuck it we’re doing this again:

Ari = One of Lucy Liu’s earliest movie roles and she’s absolutely insane to me. She’s an angsty little college kid who argues with her friends about the ethics of tv. I don’t think she can find Russia on a map

Ling Woo = Loves causing problems on purpose. I feel like she’d think the letter c is stupid and she’d definitely have a hand in funding some world-ending project because she felt like it

Simone Grove = Rich woman from the 80s would probably eat up radium watches as long as they looked stylish on her tbh

Kalypso = Gatorade is the ultimate weapon so therefore the Cheese Filling must be a precious energy source that humans live off of

Joan Watson = The first part of the alignment is her having silly discussions with Sherlock and the second part is her reliving the Horrors of being a doctor

Violet = Insane person. Just a silly goofy girl who thinks radiation poisoning is super funny

Sadie Blake = Jello isn’t boneless because it’s made using the ground-up bones of animals. We are forever caught in an endless cycle of giving life and then taking it away. Nobody is innocent. TLDR her inner vampire is showing

Alex Munday = If she helped make the laptop in the Charlie’s Angels universe then she definitely could have built the WW2 bat bomb. All by herself. While eating jello with her girlies

Mia Mason = Okay idk much about Cashmere Mafia I admit but she strikes me as that “rich person who means well sometimes but is also just super ignorant to how normal people live” she and Simone could argue about who has the better radium watch collection

Another contribution to the Liuniverse

Oscars 2020 : Choix et prédictions

La 92e cérémonie des Oscars, sans animateur encore une fois cette année, aura lieu ce dimanche 9 février. Comme le veut la tradition, voici mes choix et mes prédictions dans chacune des catégories principales.

MEILLEUR FILM Ford v Ferrari The Irishman Jojo Rabbit Joker Little Women Marriage Story 1917 Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Parasite

Choix : Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, non seulement mon film préféré de 2019, mais aussi mon film préféré de la décennie.

Prédiction : Plusieurs candidats sérieux cette année, dont Joker (le film avec le plus de nominations) et Parasite (la Palme d’or, le chouchou des critiques, le lauréat du SAG Award de la meilleure distribution d’ensemble), ainsi que le chef-d’œuvre de Tarantino. Mais parce que les Oscars récompensent rarement les meilleurs films, j’ai l’impression qu’ils ne pourront pas résister au techniquement impressionnant, mais sans plus 1917. Il a déjà le Golden Globe du meilleur drame, le prix de la PGA et tout plein de BAFTAs en poche.

MEILLEURE RÉALISATION

Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Martin Scorsese, The Irishman Bong Joon-ho, Parasite Todd Phillips, Joker Sam Mendes, 1917

Choix : Tarantino, bien sûr. Ce cinéaste a littéralement changé ma vie il y a 25 ans, et il signe ici son meilleur film en carrière.

Prédiction : Encore là, l’Academy risque de donner un 2e Oscar comme réalisateur à Sam Mendes (lauréat du prix de la DGA), alors que Tarantino n’en a jamais gagné aucun.

MEILLEUR ACTEUR

Antonio Banderas, Pain and Glory Leonardo DiCaprio, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Adam Driver, Marriage Story Joaquin Phoenix, Joker Jonathan Pryce, The Two Popes

Choix et prédiction : Joaquin Phoenix est probablement le meilleur acteur de sa génération, et avec The Master et You Were Never Really Here, sa performance dans Joker forme une troublante trilogie.

MEILLEURE ACTRICE

Cynthia Erivo, Harriet Scarlett Johansson, Marriage Story Saoirse Ronan, Little Women Charlize Theron, Bombshell Renee Zellweger, Judy

Choix : Scarlett Johansson, criante de vérité dans Marriage Story.

Prédiction : Renee Zellwegger dans Judy. C’est toujours payant d’incarner une personnalité réelle.

MEILLEUR ACTEUR DE SOUTIEN

Tom Hanks, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Anthony Hopkins, The Two Popes Al Pacino, The Irishman Joe Pesci, The Irishman Brad Pitt, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood

Choix et prédiction : Brad Pitt, Movie Star avec des majuscules, incroyablement charismatique dans le film de Tarantino.

MEILLEURE ACTRICE DE SOUTIEN

Kathy Bates, Richard Jewell Laura Dern, Marriage Story Scarlett Johannson, Jojo Rabbit Florence Pugh, Little Women Margot Robbie, Bombshell

Choix et prédiction : Qui n’adore pas Laura Dern? Et ce sera peut-être la seule façon de récompenser cet excellent film qu’est Marriage Story.

MEILLEUR SCÉNARIO ORIGINAL

Knives Out, Rian Johnson Marriage Story, Noah Baumbach 1917, Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino Parasite, Bong Joon-ho, Jin Won Han

Choix et prédiction : Vu qu’on dirait que Tarantino va une fois de plus être écarté des catégories Meilleur film et Meilleure réalisation, il devra se contenter d’un 3e Oscar du Meilleur scénario. À moins que Parasite l’emporte, ce qui est quand même très probable.

MEILLEURE ADAPTATION

The Irishman, Steven Zaillian Jojo Rabbit, Taika Waititi Joker, Todd Phillips, Scott Silver Little Women, Greta Gerwig The Two Popes, Anthony McCarten

Choix : Le scénario de The Irishman est magistral, à tous les niveaux. Ce film sera-t-il le grand oublié de la cérémonie?

Prédiction : J’ai l’impression que l’Academy ressentira la pression de remettre au moins un prix à Little Women, et ce sera probablement celui-ci. Mais c’est aussi possible que le ridiculement surestimé Jojo Rabbit gagne ce prix.

MEILLEURE DIRECTION PHOTO

The Irishman, Rodrigo Prieto Joker, Lawrence Sher The Lighthouse, Jarin Blaschke 1917, Roger Deakins Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Robert Richardson Choix : Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, un plaisir visuel de tous les instants.

Prédiction : 1917 pour le gros flex de Roger Deakins, comme dirait mon ami Yannick. Gagnant du prix de l’ASC.

MEILLEUR MONTAGE

Ford v Ferrari, Michael McCusker, Andrew Buckland The Irishman, Thelma Schoonmaker Jojo Rabbit, Tom Eagles Joker, Jeff Groth Parasite, Jinmo Yang

Choix : The Irishman, car Thelma Schoonmaker parvient à rendre un film de 3 h 30 toujours captivant, sans longueurs.

Prédiction : Parasite, car il a gagné le prix ACE Eddie.

MEILLEUR MONTAGE SONORE

Ford v Ferrari, Don Sylvester Joker, Alan Robert Murray 1917, Oliver Tarney, Rachel Tate Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Wylie Stateman Star Wars: The Rise of SkyWalker, Matthew Wood, David Acord

Choix : Ce ne sont pas des catégories que je connais bien, mais j’ai adoré le son des moteurs dans Ford v Ferrari.

Prédiction : 1917, car j’ai l’impression que ce sera le grand gagnant de la soirée, tour de force technique et tout ça.

MEILLEUR MIX SONORE Ad Astra Ford v Ferrari Joker 1917 Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Choix : Ford v Ferrari. Prédiction : 1917.

MEILLEURE DIRECTION ARTISTIQUE

The Irishman, Bob Shaw and Regina Graves Jojo Rabbit, Ra Vincent and Nora Sopkova 1917, Dennis Gassner and Lee Sandales Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh Parasite, Lee Ha-Jun and Cho Won Woo, Han Ga Ram, and Cho Hee

Choix et prédiction : Je vais y aller pour la reconstitution d’époque, les décors de western, Spahn Ranch dans Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, mais 1917 pourrait rafler ce prix également. Parasite aussi serait plausible.

MEILLEURE MUSIQUE ORIGINALE

Joker, Hildur Guðnadóttir Little Women, Alexandre Desplat Marriage Story,Randy Newman 1917, Thomas Newman Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, John Williams

Choix et prédiction : Joker et le sinistre violoncelle de Hildur Guðnadóttir, qui contribue grandement à l’atmosphère du film.

MEILLEURE CHANSON ORIGINALE

I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away, Toy Story 4 I’m Gonna Love Me Again, Rocketman I’m Standing With You, Breakthrough Into the Unknown, Frozen 2 Stand Up, Harriet

Choix : Je n’ai pas encore vu Frozen 2, mais je suis obsédé par Into the Unknown telle que chantée par Idina Menzel.

Prédiction : Difficile de résister à remettre un prix à Elton John pour I’m Gonna Love Me Again!

MEILLEUR MAQUILLAGE ET MEILLEURE COIFFURE

Bombshell Joker Judy Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 1917

Choix et prédiction : Joker peut-être? Ou est-ce trop facile d’associer ce film au maquillage?

MEILLEURS COSTUMES

The Irishman, Sandy Powell, Christopher Peterson Jojo Rabbit, Mayes C. Rubeo Joker, Mark Bridges Little Women, Jacqueline Durran Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Arianne Phillips

Choix et prédiction : Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, car les films d’époque sont souvent récompensés pour leurs costumes, et le travail de la designer est particulièrement inspiré dans le film de Tarantino.

MEILLEURS EFFETS VISUELS

Avengers Endgame The Irishman 1917 The Lion King Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Choix : Avengers Endgame, un quasi oublié des Oscars. On sous-estime l’exploit qu’est la culmination de l’Infinity Saga, notamment au niveau des effets visuels.

Prédiction : 1917. La prédiction facile pour la majorité des catégories.

MEILLEUR FILM INTERNATIONAL

Corpus Christi, Jan Komasa Honeyland, Tamara Kotevska, Ljubo Stefanov Les Misérables, Ladj Ly Douleur et gloire, Pedro Almodovar Parasite, Bong Joon Ho

Choix et prédiction : Parasite. La catégorie la plus facile à prédire de la soirée, avec raison. Un chef-d’œuvre, tout simplement.

MEILLEUR FILM D’ANIMATION

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Dean DeBlois J'ai perdu mon corps, Jeremy Clapin Klaus, Sergio Pablos Missing Link, Chris Butler Toy Story 4, Josh Cooley

Prédiction : Je n’en ai vu aucun. Je vais dire Toy Story 4. Comme ça.

MEILLEUR COURT MÉTRAGE D’ANIMATION

Dcera, Daria Kashcheeva Hair Love, Matthew A. Cherry Kitbull, Rosana Sullivan Memorable, Bruno Collet Sister, Siqi Song

Prédiction : Je n’en ai vu aucun. Je vais dire Hair Love. Comme ça.

MEILLEUR DOCUMENTAIRE

American Factory, Julia Rieichert, Steven Bognar The Cave, Feras Fayyad The Edge of Democracy, Petra Costa For Sama, Waad Al-Kateab, Edward Watts Honeyland, Tamara Kotevska, Ljubo Stefanov

Prédiction : Paraît que For Sama est exceptionnel.

MEILLEUR COURT MÉTRAGE DOCUMENTAIRE

In the Absence Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone, Carol Dysinger Life Overtakes Me, Kristine Samuelson, John Haptas St. Louis Superman Walk Run Cha-Cha, Laura Nix

Prédiction : Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone. Le titre m’intrigue.

MEILLEUR COURT MÉTRAGE

Brotherhood, Meryam Joobeur Nefta Football Club, Yves Piat The Neighbors’ Window, Marshall Curry Saria, Bryan Buckley Une soeur, Delphine Girard

Choix : Une soeur, pour la twist ingénieuse, le suspense soutenu, et les excellentes actrices. Le jury dont je faisais partie lui a remis le prix du Meilleur film à SPASM.

Prédiction : Pourquoi pas la coproduction québécoise Brotherhood!

The Morning After - The Year the Oscars Got it (mostly) Right Edition

The 92nd Academy Awards kicked off looking an awful lot like the Grammy’s with a splashy musical performance by Janelle Monae and Billy Porter, the first of a night’s performances/presenters/commentary designed to include all the groups it seemingly excluded in it’s nominees list. Meant to poke fun at themselves or a gesture delivered a little too overt and a little too late? Either way, I think in the end, the artistry of the South Korean-made foreign language film that swept the night’s awards won one back for every group that was overlooked.

Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite took home awards for Best Original Screenplay, Best International Feature, Best Director, and Best Picture, making it the first South Korean film to win in all these categories. To do it all in a single evening is astounding.

Here’s a look at all the winners of the night:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best Picture:

“Ford v Ferrari” — Walt Disney “The Irishman” — Netflix “Jojo Rabbit” — Fox Searchlight “Joker” — Warner Bros. “Little Women” — Sony Pictures Releasing “Marriage Story” — Netflix “1917” — Universal/Amblin Partners “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” — Sony Pictures Releasing “Parasite” — Neon (WINNER)

Most deserving win of the night!!! Of course many of us hoped Parasite could be the underdog to win it all, but a more realistic prediction to win would be 1917. Thrilled to be wrong on this one.

Also, while I liked 1917 (more for its execution than story), even if Parasite had not been in the mix, I would have been rooting for The Irishman to win.

Lead Actress:

Cynthia Erivo, “Harriet” Scarlett Johansson, “Marriage Story” Saoirse Ronan, “Little Women” Charlize Theron, “Bombshell” Renée Zellweger, “Judy” (WINNER)

I am also in full agreement with this category and with Renee sweeping this category this awards season as well.

I have not seen Harriet, but if Renee hadn’t been in the race, Charlize would have been the best of the bunch.

Lead Actor:

Antonio Banderas, “Pain and Glory” Leonardo DiCaprio, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” Adam Driver, “Marriage Story” Joaquin Phoenix, “Joker” — (WINNER) Jonathan Pryce, “The Two Popes”

Again, no question this was the right winner. If only every win didn’t mean we’d have to roll the dice to see what kind of acceptance speech we’d have to endure... While I didn’t appreciate being chastised for adding milk to my coffee, Joaquin closed out his remarks by quoting his late brother River and I thought that was beautiful.

Director:

Martin Scorsese, “The Irishman” Todd Phillips, “Joker” Sam Mendes, “1917” Quentin Tarantino, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” Bong Joon Ho, “Parasite” — (WINNER)

Another category that I thought the Academy would give to Sam Mendes, but nonetheless put my bets on Bong Joon-ho. Some big competition in this category (except Phillips... sorry, I’m not saying he’s bad, but he has yet to prove to me he’s a contender).

Original Song:

“I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away,” “Toy Story 4” “I’m Gonna Love Me Again,” “Rocketman” — (WINNER) “I’m Standing With You,” “Breakthrough” “Into the Unknown,” “Frozen 2” “Stand Up,” “Harriet”

Talk about a year of forgettable film songs. I think I left the room for every one of these performances except Elton’s. Did I miss anything?

Original Score:

“Joker,” Hildur Guðnadóttir — (WINNER) “Little Women,” Alexandre Desplat “Marriage Story,” Randy Newman “1917,” Thomas Newman “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” John Williams

As part of the montage for this category, the orchestra accompanies with each film’s original score. This segment, as they proudly pointed out, was being conducted a female for the first time in Oscar history (I’d like to shallowly add that she was also wearing the most amazing gold jacket to do it!). Now I don’t know if she also arranged it or whether she was just conducting, but I have to say, I don’t think the arrangement did the scores any justice whatsoever.

Luckily they were not being judged on this particular performance, and Hildur Guonadottir once again took home the accolade for Joker. I agree with this win. Little Women and 1917 also had impressive scores. Marriage Story didn’t particularly catch my attention, and while Star Wars’ themes will always be among my all time favourites, The Rise of Skywalker wasn’t particularly outstanding out of the saga.

Best International Feature Film:

“Corpus Christi,” Jan Komasa “Honeyland,” Tamara Kotevska, Ljubo Stefanov “Les Miserables,” Ladj Ly “Pain and Glory,” Pedro Almodóvar “Parasite,” Bong Joon Ho — (WINNER)

If anyone else had won we would have rioted right?

Makeup and Hair:

“Bombshell” — (WINNER) “Joker” “Judy” “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” “1917”

Got this prediction correct, while not the most obvious frontrunner perhaps, a lot of subtle effort was put in to transform cast into their characters.

Visual Effects:

“Avengers: Endgame” “The Irishman” “The Lion King” “1917” — (WINNER) “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”

It’s naive of me, but seeing 1917 win for Visual Effects almost takes away from my appreciation of the film in some ways because in my head, I’d still like to think of all films outside of fantasy and sci-fi as largely real. I know it’s not the case and that even your average period drama is created largely with effects these days, it can’t help but ruin the magic a little.

Also I had guessed Avengers: Endgame would win.

And we all think that The Irishman is on this list for de-aging technologies alone right?

Film Editing:

“Ford v Ferrari,” Michael McCusker, Andrew Buckland — (WINNER) “The Irishman,” Thelma Schoonmaker “Jojo Rabbit,” Tom Eagles “Joker,” Jeff Groth “Parasite,” Jinmo Yang

This entire list is on par with each other I think, with Ford v Ferrari just edging out the rest. Also the editing is what made the film so dynamic, there was little room for a bad cut, whereas the others might have little bit more room to err.

Many might disagree but I think Little Women should have been considered in this category. The film’s editing choices was one of its main criticisms, but I think it actually made the film much more dynamic and differentiated it from previous adaptations. (If only they’d used a bit more of The Irishman’s aging/de-aging effects)

Cinematography:

“The Irishman,” Rodrigo Prieto “Joker,” Lawrence Sher “The Lighthouse,” Jarin Blaschke “1917,” Roger Deakins — (WINNER) “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Robert Richardson

Agree! Cool camera work in 1917 for sure.

Sound Mixing:

“Ad Astra” “Ford v Ferrari” “Joker” “1917” — (WINNER) “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

Um ok, if you’re going to split the sound categories between two films. I would’ve said Ford v Ferrari for both.

Sound Editing:

“Ford v Ferrari,” Don Sylvester — (WINNER) “Joker,” Alan Robert Murray “1917,” Oliver Tarney, Rachel Tate “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Wylie Stateman “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” Matthew Wood, David Acord

Agree. Hopefully everyone who wanted to see this film caught it in theatres, the sound was a huge contributing factor to the enjoyment of this film.

Supporting Actress:

Kathy Bates, “Richard Jewell” Laura Dern, “Marriage Story” — (WINNER) Scarlett Johansson, “Jojo Rabbit” Florence Pugh, “Little Women” Margot Robbie, “Bombshell”

Little surprise when Laura Dern swept this category, even though I maintain she wasn’t better than the rest. That said, I’m not sure who I would pick in her place, I say share the love between Laura Dern, Scarlett Johansson, and Florence Pugh (yes, I just said Amy March should get an oscar... I see the irony of this too)

Best Documentary Short Subject:

“In the Absence,” Yi Seung-Jun and Gary Byung-Seok Kam “Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone,” Carol Dysinger — (WINNER) “Life Overtakes Me,” Kristine Samuelson and John Haptas “St. Louis Superman,” Smriti Mundhra and Sami Khan “Walk Run Cha-Cha,” Laura Nix

I didn’t see any of the shorts this year, my bad. The winner sounds hella interestering!

Best Documentary Feature:

“American Factory,” Julia Reichert, Steven Bognar — (WINNER) “The Cave,” Feras Fayyad “The Edge of Democracy,” Petra Costa “For Sama,” Waad Al-Kateab, Edward Watts “Honeyland,” Tamara Kotevska, Ljubo Stefanov

I only saw American Factory and The Cave and I actually liked The Cave better. That said I felt strongly that American Factory had the edge, for starters it was backed by the Obamas’ production company. I didn’t love American Factory but I do feel it’s a timely piece that shows two sides of the story, inevitable prejudices based on what we’ve become conditioned to physically, mentally, socially, and also how important it is that we try to overcome or build a bridge to find solutions for the greater good.

Costume Design:

”The Irishman,” Sandy Powell, Christopher Peterson “Jojo Rabbit,” Mayes C. Rubeo “Joker,” Mark Bridges “Little Women,” Jacqueline Durran — (WINNER) “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Arianne Phillips

For a historical drama, I really didn’t find the costumes of Little Women to be that spectacular (I’m having visions of The Age of Innocence when you say Best Costume), though a part of me knows the period films win more often than not. While I think Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is strong contender, Jojo Rabbit should have won.

Production Design:

“The Irishman,” Bob Shaw and Regina Graves “Jojo Rabbit,” Ra Vincent and Nora Sopkova “1917,” Dennis Gassner and Lee Sandales “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Barbara Ling & Nancy Haigh (WINNER) “Parasite,” Lee Ha-Jun and Cho Won Woo, Han Ga Ram and Cho Hee

Yes! Once Upon a Time was a bit overrated (sorry Quentin) but this was one category where it really deserved to win, from the western sets, film studio lots, to the wardrobe and streets of the 60′s, lots of fun and spirit captured in the production design.

Best Live Action Short Film:

“Brotherhood,” Meryam Joobeur “Nefta Football Club,” Yves Piat “The Neighbors’ Window,” Marshall Curry — (WINNER) “Saria,” Bryan Buckley “A Sister,” Delphine Girard

Adapted Screenplay:

“The Irishman,” Steven Zaillian “Jojo Rabbit,” Taika Waititi — (WINNER) “Joker,” Todd Phillips, Scott Silver “Little Women,” Greta Gerwig “The Two Popes,” Anthony McCarten

I love that Taika Waititi is an Oscar winner. Also shouts to Greta Gerwig for making Little Women almost tolerable in her script! The Two Popes could not have been an easy adaptation either. Now can a comic book expert please tell me, how much of Joker is really from existing stories in comics, and how much was filled in by the writers? I understand why it was an adapted screenplay, but I feel like material like this almost completely open to interpretation and could easily be written anew as an original screenplay.

Original Screenplay:

Just for fun, my ranking of the original screenplay nominees from best to alright:

1) Parasite, 2) Knives Out, 3) Marriage Story, 4) 1917, 5) Once Upon a Time

Animated Short:

“Dcera,” Daria Kashcheeva “Hair Love,” Matthew A. Cherry — (WINNER) “Kitbull,” Rosana Sullivan “Memorable,” Bruno Collet “Sister,” Siqi Song

I keep hearing great things about this short!

Animated Feature:

“How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,” Dean DeBlois “I Lost My Body,” Jeremy Clapin “Klaus,” Sergio Pablos “Missing Link,” Chris Butler “Toy Story 4,” Josh Cooley — (WINNER)

I clearly didn’t watch any animated films this year because I didn’t even know there were new How to Train Your Dragon and Toy Story films released.

Supporting Actor:

Tom Hanks, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” Anthony Hopkins, “The Two Popes” Al Pacino, “The Irishman” Joe Pesci, “The Irishman” Brad Pitt, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” — (WINNER)

Overall, if Brad Pitt sweeping this category means I get to hear at least one great speech per awards, then I’m ok with this. My personal ranking:

1) Al Pacino, 2) Joe Pesci, 3) Tom Hanks, 4) Brad Pitt, 5) Anthony Hopkins. I had to debate over Pacino and Pesci’s performances, I feel like this is one of the best problems in the world.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prior to the start of the show, I made a mess of notes about who I thought would win, who I thought should win, and shared my Oscar Pool Picks which were based on a mix of the two... My Oscar pool are an extremely knowledgeable bunch, and with 18/24, it only put me in a 3-way tie for third place (there were also three winners who split the winnings), I need to move back to the baby leagues!

If you were following my Twitter (or care to check in hindsight...@palindr0me) I also shared a little additional commentary and photos of some of my favourite dresses of the evening.

My personal top 3 moments during the Awards Ceremony were:

1) Every time Parasite won an award - Give this man all the statues he wants! lol

2) Billie Eilish’s rendition of Yesterday (I wish this was an actual recorded track so I could play it over and over)

youtube

3) When Eminem took the stage at the end of a montage to perform “Lose Yourself” and my phone exploded with all these messages of “ Whaaat is happening???” LOL! Believe me friends, I was as confused as you were.

youtube

Aaand, that’s a wrap on awards season! Looking forward to a new year and new decade in film!

Remedial Awards, 2019

It’s time again for the Remedial Awards! I have watched more than 70 feature films released in 2019, 29 of which have been nominated for one or more Academy Awards (33 narrative feature films have been nominated for Oscars this year). Not that many will read this anyway, but I want to recognize that I am just another in a long list of white men who have weighed in on film this year (and every year since film was first developed), and have no “buts” to express about it: I dream of a world where we’re given colour in the Best Actor list and where women are nominated for Best Director, and the prevalence and dominance of the white male voice is a major contributing factor to the continuing lack of diversity in Hollywood.

Below, find my lists for most every feature category, ranked in order of my own preference. Those left out by the Academy that I believe deserved nominations are ranked and crossed out, while those that were nominated and (in my opinion) should not have been, are ranked below a stroke. I have not included Razzies this year, but know that I absolutely detested Joker. My largely uninformed prediction for the winner of each category will be marked with an asterisk.

Alchemy: Tiny Steps

Chapters: 25/45 Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist/Harry Potter Rating: T Relationships: Edward/Winry, Lan Fan/Ling, and May/Alphonse. Primary Characters: Edward Elric, Severus Snape Additional Tags: Crossover, Teacher!Edward, BrOtp Edward/Severus. Sassy beyond measure. Pro!Snape Series: Part 2 of 9. Summary: Part two of the Alchemy Series. Politics. Either you love it, hate it or you live it. For Alchemy Teacher Edward Elric, he lives it, hates it and loves it when he gets the upper hand. Here is to another year of hell… D/C: I do not own Harry Potter or Fullmetal Alchemist. Discord: La Red(Mesh Mash of… stuff.): https://discord.gg/KYjmVAb Alchemy Series: https://discord.gg/DejEYNJ

George Weasley: Shows a great aptitude in Alchemy along with his brother, Fred Weasley. Try to remember who is who. This one needs to develop his critical thinking skills, it is apparent that both brothers help each other with what the other slacks with. While George has a complete understanding of the laws but as stated before, critical thinking along with a clearer and advanced understanding of the laws. Warning: Chronic prankster.

Rachel McWilliams: If only I could get her a full evaluation, I could only do so much without fully knowing what more I could do for her. There is a difference between knowing something and remembering something. She remembers what she needs to remember and at her convivence, but does not fully understands what she is talking about. I have received several complaints of her constant chatter to the point it severely distracts everyone. There are times she will be quiet, but it is just as unnerving whenever she goes in those quiet tangents. Warning: If she does not follow our warnings, contact Filius.

Yaxley Prang: Has one of the biggest sweet tooth… Emphatic and cares for his housemates. Enjoys creating recipes and figuring out how cooking could be implemented into Alchemy. Makes one mean carrot and zucchini bread. Pomona mentioned to me he dropped an elective to continue studying Alchemy, ended up dropping divination and switched it with ancient ruins and added in muggle studies. Need to talk to him about adding extra classes, last thing we need is him running on caffeine. Warning: Lost his mother at a young age due to that moldy-mort, a very sore subject for him.

Emmeline Evan: Blunt, mature and very warm-hearted. One of the oldest students I have, shows some promise but not enough time to be taught fully. This was a clear example what I warned that cat woman about. Anyway, she has a tendency to be very oblivious to a lot of things and Alchemy cannot be one of them. Even if she see's facts, she does not see the full picture or ask the necessary questions to further her studies. Warning: Don't be surprised if students attempt to woo her and she has no clue what's happening. Very oblivious. (Don't you say anything, Al. )

Alphonse scanned through his brother's paperwork for Wednesday's class, Critical Thinking. Students that require a deeper understanding of the world around them, to think in and out of the box and so on. Important for them to understand that life is filled with color but behind the seams, it's black, white and grays of all shades.

So far, a lot of the students who just passed the entrance exam are skeptical of what was being said to them. A lot of them had an idea what they assumed to be Alchemy and what from what they were told. So far Alphonse kicked out one person just went on how Alchemy is supposed to be, to a wizard/witch point of view. One less student to teach. Let's see if he can bring down the numbers even more.

-.-

"My head..." Edward rasped out, wincing at how dry his throat felt. His arms felt like stone when he attempted to move them. The only thing he felt he could move is his automail foot. Vision blurry made it impossible to figure out where he was at that current moment. 'Where am I?'

Edward suddenly felt metal touch his lips and a cold liquid hitting his lips. The need of quench his thirst overtook his mind to question what he was being forced to drink but that was overthrown. His thirst won over and when the liquid touched his tongue, the eldest Elric Brother felt warmth filled his entire body. Feeling began to return and his vision becoming clearer. Once his sight returned fully to him, he saw that it was Severus holding a goblet up to his lips. The liquid in said goblet smelled like peppermint, rosemary, and… feverfew? Whatever it was, it was helping him get rid of the constant ache in his head. "Zank you."

Severus could only raise an eyebrow at hearing Edward's voice. Edward had started to lose his heavily accented voice, pronouncing English words easily and nearly fluently. Still had hints of Amestrian but nothing when he first met him. Now? It's like right back to the beginning for Edward. "How do you feel?"

"I feel like schit. Put vadeffer you kaffe me is making it ko avay." Edward slurred out, feeling sleep taking over him again. "Vat did you make drink…"

Severus watched Edward slurred out his words before returning to a magic induced sleep. This would be the last time the young man be forced to drink a sleeping drought. It was heavily diluted to help with the concussion Edward is suffering from. From what Poppy told him, that Edward is almost in the clear but needed one more potion and a long rest before going about his normal business. Well, normal business for Edward Elric.

"How is he?"

Severus turned around to see Alphonse entering the room from the second entrance of the room. "I gave him the last required potion. It would have been a fast process if he allowed Madam Pomfrey to use magic and fully utilizing my potions, but considering his stance towards that…"

"His stance against magic in or on his body…I know." Alphonse let out a despondent sigh. "He would rather suffer through the pain than make it go away quickly with magic. Don't use it against him, he already does that enough as it is."

"I know."

-.-

"The main colors of the wedding are red and gold?" Izumi attempted to describe the color of dress she needed to get for Edward and Winry's wedding. She was asked by Edward to stand in as the Mother of the Groom and right now, she is looking for a dress along with Gracia, Elicia and Riza. "I want something like this…"

Gracia could only chuckle and show complete apprehension at how Izumi described the dress she wanted. She turned her attention to another attendant of the bridal shop. She was asked to become the Mother of the Bride and wedding planner. Her daughter is to be the flower girl and have Black Hayate be the ring bearer. Riza is the Maid of Honor and is currently debating type of dress she wanted to wear for the wedding. Winry had gave free reign of her wedding. The only rules she did put in is that the colors are red and gold, no bachelorette or bachelor parties, and nothing to revealing. A simple country, fairy-tail inspired wedding. At least Pinako managed to convince her to not it all themed Automail and machines. That was a clear second. "For the bridesmaid's dresses, could we avoid lace, open-backs and something not to heavy? Color? Dark gold, of a dark enough yellow to pass it off…"

Gracia didn't need to look back to see how Riza let out a sigh of relief when she rejected a dress that would have been perfect, but the back had a see-through lace showing off the back. "Something like this back the back covered."

"Mommy, could my friend come to the wedding?"

"We'll have to ask Winry, dear. Which friend?"

"His name is…"

-.-

Alphonse slowly edged towards the trapdoor that was the only form of entrance and exit of the Divination Tower. The Divination Professor is freaking him out and is professing his future, past and present death. Now she is going on about how the color of his eyes only proceeds death of everyone that connects with him and his brother. "Truth… if this is your twisted away of punishing me… you've done it."

-.-

Terrence Higgs: One of my start students along with George and Fred. Despite coming from a Pure-Blood background, he does not see blood or house colors. See's the world as it is and from what he described, the Higgs are a Gray Family. Have him go over arrays and elemental alchemy. It may be too advanced for him, but I believe he could make it. Warning: He had to drop several classes to continue taking Alchemy and Quidditch. Keep in contact with Severus to see where he stands.

Edmond Mortin: I swear this kid's voice is so deep! Whenever he talks it's like a cross between Sid and Major Armstrong! The kid enjoys scaring the crap out of people and joins Fred and George in their pranks. Loves pranks. Very much… I might get this kid to transmutate something before he leaves the school. Warning: Only makes himself known when he wants to. Knows every rumor that goes around this school.

Wynne Rabnott: I swear she's like a mini Major General Armstrong in terms of being 'icy' towards everyone around her. Can't blame her, her family came from a primary non-magical background but quickly married into magic and allowed money to talk for them. She's with that boyfriend of hers due to the fact 'he's of good stock', I swear I never understand how their family make her face theses views. She is has a good balance but needs to have all aspects put together. Warning: She has that death like stare…be warned.

Nathaniel Praxley: May be Pure-Blood, but his family cares enough to suck in their pride to get help in a non-magical means. Found out he has a mild case of dyslexia, working with his parents, Filius and the doctor that diagnosed him. I believe I found a way to help him study. Now we have to find a way to raise up his self-esteem, the kid doesn't believe he's smart enough for Ravenclaw. If only he knew, the kid knows his stuff and doesn't even fully realize what he's truly capable of. Warning: I've heard many of his housemates are tormenting him, have to get one of my older students from the same house to watch over him.

Thursday Class.

Balance.

This day and the next, then hopefully Edward will be ready to get back to teaching. Alphonse could only wonder how his brother managed to get through teaching last year. To think that last year he would be teaching on his own. Oh truth… he takes back everything he ever told his brother about being a teacher. He'll be the one that would murder a student… or horribly maim them.

"Sir, isn't alchemy just a form of lost magical art form? Creating gold and such?"

"…Get out."

-.-

'I feel like I should start gloating…?'

@asexualannoyance trying to get me cancelled but know what let’s do it baby I got god and anime on my side

okay to start, probably my biggest unpopular opinion is: Earth shouldn’t have been cast in this role. It is NOT b/c he’s not a good actor, he is by drama standards, and he’s playing the role of Jim well so far from what I’ve seen. The issue is, he’s not believable.

Like look, clearly the narrative is setting up a dichotomy between Jim and Wen here. It’s obvious in the way they dress, and the depiction of their individual homes. The age gap is supposed to emphasize this gap in both their maturity levels and overall life experience. The problem is, Earth isn’t believable as a world weary middle age man. Which is what Jim is supposed to be. He’s supposed to be both a pillar of his community and also thoroughly exhausted by the weight of the world he’s lived in up till now. Further, it’s why he’s so enamored with Wen, who is beautiful, and youthful and clearly speaks to a youthful simplicity that Jim does not have anymore. An older actor would have brought that sense of weight visually as well as acting wise I feel. It’s like, look you needed Gong Lee playing Kim Shin in Goblin or Seok Woo in Train to Busan b/c their age is important to the character development and narrative. Choi Woo-shik is an amazing actor, but he couldn’t play either of those characters he needed to play the high school student in Train to Busan.

I like Earth, I don’t think he’s a bad actor, he’s playing Jim fine. I just think an older actor was needed for this story so it’s kinda a bummer. It weakens the narrative that Jim is this community pillar who has been in the business “a long time” and has all this life experience when he looks all of 29. It also weakens the narrative maturity gap between him and Wen cause they look the same age. When Wen’s like “I like old people *wink*” I’m like, Wen that man is your age wtf are you talking about??

All that being said: I really like Jim as a character. And here’s where my next unpopular opinion comes in: I find myself disinterested in the romance so far. Honestly Jim’s inner life and his conflicts with his restaurant, the weight of taking care of his nephew, the weight of debt and finances, are all vastly more interesting to me right now than The Romance.

😞 😞 gonna out myself right now and reveal this tight-lipped secret I’ve kept for far to long: I didn’t like 1000 Stars. Ironically enough it was b/c Earth’s char was boring, and Mix’s char was the only good character on the entire show. But the other issue is....I really feel the chemistry between Earth and Mix. I’M SORRY. I’m sorry they well work together, but even their love scene in MLC I was kinda like, well it was filmed very well. They have that sort of chemistry where it’s like, we’re good friends off camera and we’ve been friends for a long time. It didn’t read as “I want this person” in 1000 Stars which was fine cause that story didn’t call for that type of energy. But Wen is giving fuck me eyes to Jim every five seconds and I’m just not getting a sense of passion here. It’s fine, they’re fine.

Frankly though the romance is pretty secondary to the more interesting aspects that are character focused on Jim and Ling.

Last unpopular opinion. I hope Wen is an unrepentant cheating asshole lol like I saw in the tags a lot today of ppl trying really hard to justify the cheating, or somehow switch it up to blame Alan but like, “not being in love” isn’t an excuse to cheat.

You just break up lol but I also dig that! B/c it would showcase how Wen is way more immature than Jim. He’s not ready to have the hard conversations with his partner(s). He’s impulsive and selfish in that way 20-somethings are. He avoids conflict if he can and pursues other things that seem easy in comparison or as a fun challenge. I want the story to showcase that Wen’s to young and immature for Jim right now and allow him the potential to grow instead. I low-key do not want them together at the end, I want it open ended.

Which isn’t what the shippers want lmao

So yeah, those are my, so far, unpopular opinions about MLC

Bong Joon-ho's PARASITE Has a Badass Night at The Oscars and Makes History; Here's The Full List of Winners

Director Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite was one of my favorite films of the year. I saw the movie multiple times in theaters. Every time someone would tell me they hadn’t seen it yet, I would drag them to the theater to watch it and they would leave walk out of the movie in awe.

Parasite had one hell of a great night at the Oscars as it took home four awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film. This is the first South Korean film to be nominated, and the first time a film has won awards for Best Picture and Best International Film. I couldn’t be happier to see this film make Oscar history! All the awards it won were completely deserved.

While I don’t really care about watching the Oscars these days, and I’m not really a fan of this hostless thing they have going. But, I’m such a big fan of South Korean cinema, and it was really great to see such a brilliant film like Parasite be recognized the way it was.

Most every other win at the Oscars was pretty predictable, but I was honestly shocked by what Parasite accomplished! I did not see this coming, so it was a great surprise that made watching the Oscars worth it.

Thinking about the sapphic Cage & Fish polycule because it’s something that could be so true and real. Especially at the beginning of season 4 with the sleepovers.

Ally making popcorn for everybody and Ling picking out a horror movie, and everybody wearing their comfiest pajamas as they snuggle up on the couch and press play

Renée and Georgia talking about legal stuff for their firm, only for Elaine to sprawl herself across their laps because they’re supposed to be forgetting all about work tonight

Nelle throwing a pillow at Elaine from across the room and giving her a mischievous grin

Ling spilling wine or soda on her designer pjs and everybody losing their shit when she has to borrow one of Ally’s stupid onesies

Georgia getting drunk as hell and getting loud and overly affectionate with the other ladies

Renée and Nelle being the only mature ones as the night progresses and trying to keep order as everybody gets more unhinged

Ally constantly moving around and clinging to each woman like a lost puppy

Elaine casually feeding individual bits of her popcorn to whoever she’s sitting next to

Nelle and Ling laughing about their crazy college years while everybody else has no idea what’s going on

Everybody dishing on the weird Mean Girls drama that happened earlier in the series and airing out past grievances

COMPLAINING ABOUT WORK TOGETHER

Elaine always suggests Spin the Bottle (and they almost always end up playing it)

Karaoke Night and everybody sitting through one of Georgia’s performances out of love for her

Ally and Renée making a pillow fort when they want some privacy (and someone just barging in by accident)

Truth or dare that ends up becoming really steamy

Nelle declaring herself the “leading lady” and jokingly threatening to kick people out of the polycule for really petty reasons

Renée laying out blankets and and all the women falling asleep in a big cuddle pile (historians will say that they were very close coworkers)

Ling holding Ally like a stuffed animal when they eventually fall asleep

Making plans to overthrow Richard and John as senior partners after they all have wayyyy too much wine

#ally mcbeal #elaine vassal #georgia thomas #renée raddick #nelle porter #ling woo #cage & fish polycule #poly ship #sapphic ships #otp imagines #soup.txt #david e kelley didn’t write any more sleepover scenes after the first few b/c he knew that all of the girlies together would break the show #slightly suggestive

Winners : 92nd Annual Academy Awards Ceremony (2020)

NOTE - The following categories will be omitted from my predictions : ANIMATED FEATURE ANIMATED SHORT BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT SUBJECT BEST LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM ORIGINAL SONG

________________________________________

NOMINATIONS

BEST PICTURE

Ford v Ferrari (dir. James Mangold) The Irishman (dir. Martin Scorsese) Jojo Rabbit (dir. Taika Waititi) Joker (dir. Todd Phillips) Little Women (dir. Greta Gerwig) Marriage Story (dir. Noah Baumbach) 1917 (dir. Sam Mendes) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (dir. Quentin Tarantino) Parasite (dir. Bong Joon-ho)

prediction : Parasite (dir. Bong Joon-ho) winner : Parasite (dir. Bong Joon-ho)

thoughts : It was my favorite film of 2019, and my second favorite film of the decade. I am extremely happy to see this juggernaut of a film have such an impressive night.

________________________________________

LEAD ACTOR

Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory) Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) Adam Driver (Marriage Story) Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes)

prediction : Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) winner : Joaquin Phoenix (Joker)

thoughts : Phoenix is rapidly becoming the defining actor of our generation, and his take on the Joker character is pitch-perfect considering the long-running success of the comic-based film. A compelling experiment that has resulted in proper success for the man at the center of the beautiful storm.

________________________________________

LEAD ACTRESS

Cynthia Erivo (Harriet) Scarlett Johansson (Marriage Story) Saoirse Ronan (Little Women) Charlize Theron (Bombshell) Renee Zellweger (Judy)

prediction : Saoirse Ronan (Little Women) winner : Renee Zellweger (Judy)

thoughts : This one shouldn’t have been a surprise, honestly, as Zellweger already pulled off a win at the Golden Globes, so props to her. Sad that my girl Saoise didn’t win though, but I imagine she has years of powerful performances ahead of her.

________________________________________

SUPPORTING ACTOR

Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood) Anthony Hopkins (The Two Popes) Al Pacino (The Irishman) Joe Pesci (The Irishman) Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)

prediction : Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) winner : Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)

thoughts : This was a well-deserved win for Brad Pitt, as he brought some of the most natural charisma and on-screen chemistry with Leonardo DiCaprio to the table. He also fit right in with the Spahn Ranch cast, as well as the top-tier production design.

________________________________________

SUPPORTING ACTRESS

Kathy Bates (Richard Jewell) Laura Dern (Marriage Story) Scarlett Johansson (Jojo Rabbit) Florence Pugh (Little Women) Margot Robbie (Bombshell)

prediction : Laura Dern (Marriage Story) winner : Laura Dern (Marriage Story)

thoughts : In Netflix’s tour-de-force of acting, Dern was by far the most engaging and natural performance. She’s an actress with an infinite amount of chops, and most importantly, she looks like she’s having fun nearly every time you see her on-screen these days.

________________________________________

DIRECTOR

Martin Scorsese (The Irishman) Todd Phillips (Joker) Sam Mendes (1917) Quentin Tarantino (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) Bong Joon-ho (Parasite)

prediction : Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) winner : Bong Joon-ho (Parasite)

thoughts : Another wonderful win for Bong Joon-ho, and a sweep of the major three awards that I thought he’d win. This film really hit me in a major way, and I am happy to see it get all of the recognition that I feel it deserves.

________________________________________

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

Steven Zaillian (The Irishman) Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit) Todd Phillips and Scott Silver (Joker) Greta Gerwig (Little Women) Anthony McCarten (The Two Popes)

prediction : Greta Gerwig (Little Women) winner : Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit)

thoughts : Sadly, I’ve been dragging my feet on seeing Jojo Rabbit, but the trailers had me hooked. Waititi is also a master of making absurd premises ridiculously entertaining, so I am not surprised by this win one bit.

________________________________________

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

Rian Johnson (Knives Out) Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story) Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917) Quentin Tarantino (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) Bong Joon-ho and Jin Won Han (Parasite)

prediction : Bong Joon-ho and Jin Won Han (Parasite) winner : Bong Joon-ho and Jin Won Han (Parasite)

thoughts : I expect Bong Joon-ho to be the bell of the ball, and this (other than Best International Film) seemed like a slam dunk choice.

________________________________________

CINEMATOGRAPHY

Rodrigo Prieto (The Irishman) Lawrence Sher (Joker) Jarin Blaschke (The Lighthouse) Roger Deakins (1917) Robert Richardson (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)

prediction : Roger Deakins (1917) winner : Roger Deakins (1917)

thoughts : Deakins is a legend, and he pulled off one heck of a magic trick with 1917. Another trophy for a master craftsman.

________________________________________

BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM

Jan Komasa (Corpus Christi) Tamara Kotevska and Ljubo Stefanov (Honeyland) Ladj Ly (Les Miserables) Pedro Almodovar (Pain and Glory) Bong Joon-ho (Parasite)

prediction : Bong Joon-hoo (Parasite) winner : Bong Joon-ho (Parasite)

thoughts : No disrespect to anyone on this list, but this was always going to be Bong Joon-ho’s award to lose.

________________________________________

FILM EDITING

Michael McCusker and Andrew Buckland (Ford v Ferrari) Thelma Schoonmaker (The Irishman) Tom Eagles (Jojo Rabbit) Jeff Groth (Joker) Jinmo Yang (Parasite)

prediction : Jeff Groth (Joker) winner : Michael McCusker and Andrew Buckland (Ford v Ferrari)

thoughts : Here’s another film that’s been on my ‘to see’ list for too long. With the technical awards it’s winning, however, I’ll be changing that sooner than later.

________________________________________

SOUND EDITING

Don Sylvester (Ford v Ferrari) Alan Robert Murray (Joker) Oliver Tarney and Rachel Tate (1917) Wylie Stateman (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) Matthew Wood and David Acord (Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker)

prediction : Oliver Tarney and Rachel Tate (1917) winner : Don Sylvester (Ford v Ferrari)

thoughts : See the previous statement about the winner.

________________________________________

SOUND MIXING

Ad Astra Ford v Ferrari Joker 1917 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

prediction : 1917 winner : 1917

thoughts : This one feels like padding the stats just a little bit, especially with the wonderful radio/TV mixing for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but I’m not surprised that 1917 is winning technical awards.

________________________________________

PRODUCTION DESIGN

Bob Shaw and Regina Graves (The Irishman) Ra Vincent and Nora Sopkova (Jojo Rabbit) Dennis Gassner and Lee Sandales (1917) Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) Lee Ha-Jun and Cho Won Woo, Han Ga Ram, and Cho Hee(Parasite)

prediction : Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) winner : Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)

thoughts : With this film being such an immersive experience, I am not surprised that it won a Production Design award. Well-deserved.

________________________________________

ORIGINAL SCORE

Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker) Alexandre Desplat (Little Women) Randy Newman (Marriage Story) Thomas Newman (1917) John Williams (Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker) Nicholas Britell (The King)

prediction : Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker) winner : Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker)

thoughts : Of all the films nominated (that I saw), this one seemed like a lock for score, as that was one of several elements that pulled you into the engaging darkness of the film.

________________________________________

MAKEUP AND HAIR

Bombshell Joker Judy Maleficent : Mistress of Evil 1917

prediction : Joker winner : Bombshell

thoughts : This win makes plenty of sense to me, as the very recognizable actresses throughout the film were properly turned into their real-life counterparts enough to suspend disbelief. The Roger Ailes make-up was pretty spot-on as well.

________________________________________

COSTUME DESIGN

Sandy Powell and Christopher Peterson (The Irishman) Mayes C. Rubeo (Jojo Rabbit) Mark Bridges (Joker) Jacqueline Durran (Little Women) Arianne Phillips (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)

prediction : Jacqueline Durran (Little Women) winner : Jacqueline Durran (Little Women)

thoughts : I wanted Greta Gerwig to get a couple of additional awards this year for Little Women, but if there was one award they were a lock for, I assumed that it would be costuming.

________________________________________

VISUAL EFFECTS

Avengers : Endgame The Irishman 1917 The Lion King Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker

prediction : Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker winner : 1917

thoughts : In all honesty, this was surprising. No disrespect to 1917, but I figured it’d be the last one to win for Visual Effects simply because most everything was done real-world and captured in camera.

________________________________________

After a disappointing set of results for my Golden Globes guessing, I’m surprised how well I did with the Academy Awards, as I normally stand opposed to their choices. I don’t know if my taste is shifting, or if Hollywood is shifting, but either way, 2019 was a wonderful year for film, and these results are a satisfying close to it.
