Da’Vine Joy Randolph wins the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role in THE HOLDOVERS - March 10, 2024

[ultraweirdgirl13]

the only important thing i have to say about the Oscars is that Jamie Lee Curtis shouldn't have one. Yes she's an amazing actor. I love the Halloween movies! But she spoke like 4 times throughout the entire movie Everything Everywhere All At Once. Whereas Angela Basset AND Stephanie Hsu were pouring their hearts out for their roles. Angela's acting was incredible, and BPWF meant so much to her. Stephanie's acting was also incredible, especially considering how nuanced her character is in EEAAO. Either of them should have won!!!!!

ALSO THIS PROVES THAT NEPOTISM AND RACISM ARE REAL AND PRESENT IN HOLLYWOOD!!!! CAUSE WTF!!!! Jamie won a coveted award for a movie with an ALL ASIAN CAST?? Make that make sense??

306 - Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her

A film with strong festival reviews that gets dumped to cable television because its commercial prospects appear slim? Sounds like something ripped from today's cinema headlines, but it's the case for this week's film, Rodrigo Garcia's Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her. Led by a prestigious cast of awards show mainstays, the film is a tapestry of loosely interconnected stories that detail the inner lives of women living in the San Fernando valley. After successful trips to both Sundance and Cannes, the film's distributor sold the film to Showtime when even its good reviews weren't considered enough to merit a theatrical release.

This episode, we talk about the understated work of writer/director Garcia and the critical community's reaction at the time to the film's punting to cable. We also talk about Calista Flockhart's run on Ally McBeal, Kathy Baker and Valeria Golino's absence from the film's marketing, and how Glenn Close and Holly Hunter went from Oscar beloveds to Emmy perennials.

Topics also include the Emmys, MGM's then-looming bankruptcy, and the Tyra Banks game.

This whole "people shouldn't come for jamie lee curtis, she deserves an oscar too and she's a great person" shtick is soo tired to me bc I have no interest in attacking her as a person for the simple reason that I don't even know her like that.

But based on this awards season alone, here's what pisses me tf off and what people are absolutely allowed to be annoyed over. The whole "It's not her fault she's a nepo baby" doesn't cut it when you have the epitome of white privilege going on stage to accept an award (SAG in this case) for an Asian American movie and cry about how she's 64 and a nepo baby (because she was butthurt over internet jokes pointing out her privilege) RIGHT IN FRONT OF a 64-year-old Black woman who was raised in the projects by a single mother, hell who was part of school integration because segregation was still a thing when she was little, with absolutely no shame. Boasting about your privilege in front of a woman who is the same age as you and has definitely been set back by that age way way more than you and had to work miles harder to even get her career started is not cute. It's disrespectful.

But who is getting attacked for not being humble enough? Of course, the Black woman who dared to look sad as she watched her life-long dream get crushed right in front of her. Whose hard work was ignored yet again.

Did you see Jamie's face when Angela accepted her Golden Globe, by the way?

So yes, I absolutely am annoyed by Jamie right now and not for things outside of her control. White women get to turn their privilege into a joke because they got butthurt by it being pointed out once while Black women aren't even allowed to express their emotions without facing vile misogynoir.

If you, and I absolutely hold white people to a higher standard here, but if you want to acknowledge the hurdles women and specifically older women have in the industry on the platform that stage gives you, you do not get to leave out the woman in that same category who is affected by this even more than you. Especially while you're holding an award that an Asian American movie enabled you to win.

Chicago (2002, Rob Marshall)

08/01/2024

Chicago is a 2002 film directed by Rob Marshall.

Written by Bill Condon and based on the Broadway musical of the same name, the film stars Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere and John C. Reilly.

Acclaimed by critics and audiences, the film received several awards, including six 2003 Oscars (best film, best supporting actress for Catherine Zeta-Jones, best production design, best costumes, best editing and best sound), three Golden Globes and two BAFTA.

The show is inspired by the musical Chicago, originally staged on Broadway in 1975. The 1996 revival was more successful and continues to be performed in London's West End and on Broadway. The original production had divided the musical into vaudeville acts, which created some problems in the transition from stage show to film.

The film stars Renée Zellweger (Roxie Hart), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Velma Kelly), Richard Gere (Billy Flynn), John C. Reilly (Amos Hart), Queen Latifah (Matron "Mama" Morton), Lucy Liu (Go-To-Hell Kitty) e Christine Baranski (Mary Sunshine). Directed by Rob Marshall.

Richard Gere needed tap leesons before performing his dance number. Zellweger had never danced professionally but she had already sung in the 1994 film Shake, rattle and rock!.

Chita Rivera, who played Velma Kelly in the 1975 Broadway musical, appears in the film making a cameo appearance as "Nicky".

Marisa Tomei at the 1993 Academy Awards Pt 2

Sae Nagatani is my new favourite actor and really should get the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Sure, the other nominees have experience, acting lessons, coaches, heck they've even been to kindergarten! Sae, barely as yet grasping human language, delivers the war child with grace, does all her own stunts, and if they had to dub her lines, and I don't think they did, she said *something* on cue.

Sae plays Akiko in Godzilla -1.0 and was born January 3, 2020.

265 - Brideshead Revisited

We all know that Oscar fawns over costume dramas of literary adaptations -- or so we tell ourselves when forming predictions and one with a whiff of prestige arrives. In 2008, director Julian Jerrold delivered a new adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited with an up-and-coming young cast paired with Dame Emma Thompson as the devoutly religious Lady Marchmain. With Matthew Goode as the social climber Charles Ryder and Ben Whishaw and Hayley Atwell as the siblings he romances, the queer-inflected drama earned modest reviews and box office, with Thompson an outsider Supporting Actress contender through the season.

This episode, Thompson joins our six timers club and we discuss our love for the then-emerging Whishaw. We also look back at Goode's career including the misbegotten Watchmen film, Atwell's career outside of Marvel, and the surprising amount of time that has passed since Thompson's last nomination.

Topics also include Brideshead riff Saltburn, pneumonia terminology, and 2008 queer cinema.
