Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986). To save Earth from an alien probe, Admiral James T. Kirk and his fugitive crew go back in time to San Francisco in 1986 to retrieve the only beings who can communicate with it: humpback whales.

I only have the vaguest recollections of watching this as a kid, so to it really felt like a bit of a gift to have the excuse to see it again, and man, what a gift! Just so full of warmth and good humour in a way that blockbusters these days forget. It's an invitation to hang out with characters you love in a familiar-unfamiliar context, in a way that really hones in on environmental issues of the time (rapidly declining whale populations!). It feels like it shouldn't work, but it just does. 8/10.

saltburn being completely shut out from the oscars is highly disappointing but not at all unexpected since the academy can't handle anything more overtly sexual than florence pugh's tits before it goes insane

#barry was SNUBBED for best lead though. ahd it absolutely shouldve gotten a best cinematography nom #saltburn

Finally saw The Holdovers, and my hot take is it was snubbed for both cinematography and production design noms. Its cinematography accomplished and surpassed what I think Maestro was trying to achieve, and (spicy hot take here) its overall production design impressed me more than Barbie's

#look Barbieland was obviously incredible #but the “real world” design didn't convince me of the cohesive vision #and cinematography was arguably the one nom Maestro deserved #but The Holdovers was more effective in how it used a similar technique #personal #The Holdovers #oscars 2024

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.

No offense, but actually yes offense, how could Decision to Leave not be nominated in any category at the Oscars. The cinematography is crazy. Park Chanwook is a master and it’s like he took his decades of experience and decided to flex.

#that interrogation scene is NUTS!!!!!!!!!#there were a lot of snubs. i mean...do we need Grim War Movie number 50387289 to be nominated for hair and makeup?#is it doing anything different from past movies? instead EEAAO should have been there #i think the fact that everyone's take on decision to leave is 'good movie but not one of PCW's best' hurt its international nom #but COME ON. CINEMATOGRAPHY! HELLO!

Read the full article here:

#baz luhrmann #catherine martin #elvis 2022 #oscars 2023 #article #(as always i put up the parts i enjoy most to read baz answers the priscilla question in the last paragraph)#(and i love LOVE catherines answer! people have been bitching about very few women noms. (fair enough) BUT i think its time they #take notice of ELVIS' crew this movie did so well in part to their crafts and characterization departments that are all mostly women!#and mandy walker becoming the third (3rd!) woman ever nonimated for her work as a cinematographer #is soooooo insane but it makes sense because - and if I remember correctly my stats - in hollywood when it comes to crew/craft jobs #cinematography is where there's less women by percentage its very male dominated)

WAITTTT LITERALLY WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THE EMMYS AND WINNING TIME

#not a single solitary nomination for the MoC who carried the show #cinematography also carried the show he got a nom #salli richardson deserved a directing nom #no offense i don’t think the writers deserve any #and i don’t think it deserves a best series nom because it squandered its own potential too much for my liking still

I wonder if Oppenheimer will be back in theaters here as well. Because I have this supreme need to go again just for the "Can You Hear the Music?" sequence.

#random #personal #my shitty English #Oppenheimer #I know it's going back to theaters in the US but I need them to do the same here having in mind it's probably going to score several noms #but I just need to enjoy that scene on a huge screen again #when the sequence begins and you see the particles and it's like purple and blue and red and all glittery #or when Robert says “yes I can” and the sequence starts like it's a video clip and you see the mountains and the fog/clouds #or the “whuuuuup whuuuuup” sounds near the end UGH!#and the scenery and everything; e v e r y t h i n g #peak cinema right there #peak cinematography

Ran (1985). In Medieval Japan, an elderly warlord retires, handing over his empire to his three sons. However, he vastly underestimates how the new-found power will corrupt them and cause them to turn on each other...and him.

King Lear adaptations, my beloved. This is genuinely such a staggering feat of cinema - visually sublime and full of tension, texture and complexity. The use of colour and the environment just sings, and I really wish I'd gotten to see it on the big screen. Magic stuff. 8.5/10.

#dumb stuff #i don't want to watch it it looks mediocre and boring #thw only good nominations are all the eeaao noms and brendan fraiser getting a best actor nom. good for him #can't believe nope didn't even get a cinematography nom when they literally invented a new way to shoot day-for-night wtf

I do not usually have Thoughts on matters like awards but what is up with the Emmy nominations this year. I'm glad Ted Lasso got some noms but it was for the wrong things?! how does Jason Sudeikis get a nom despite phoning in half the season, but no recognition for Nick Mohammed or Toheeb Jimoh? Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple both somehow in the Best Supporting Actress category? Writing nom for So Long, Farewell but not Sunflowers? Bizarre. But the most egregious omission...

...WHERE IS THE ENGLISH?! Where are the nominations for this, the finest limited series of 2022? Where is Chaske Spencer's Best Actor Award? Why is Episode 5: The Buffalo Gun not being showered with Best Writing, Best Directing, Outstanding Cinematography for the 49 minutes of unrelenting excellence it brought to our screens? Why, for the love of all that is holy, is this show so consistently underrated? This is a travesty and I and the 20 other people in this fandom will be mad about it forever.

Today the Emmy nominations came out and some of my favorite comedians and shows made the cut! 🥳

Let's take a look at a few specifics, shall we?

The Bear: 13 nominations, including Outstanding Supporting Actress for Ayo Edebiri and Outstanding Writing for Bo Burnham's frequent collaborator Chris Storer—I am currently working on a detailed post about the show, particularly its celebrity-packed second season, and it should be up by this weekend!

Baby J: John Mulaney's amazing comedy special about rehab was nominated for Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Variety Special. Plus, it's got a fantastic reference to Bo! Haha

Parks and Recreation alumni: Aubrey Plaza, Nick Offerman, and Ben Schwartz all got noms today. Fun fact: Nick directed the episode Bo's in as Chipp McCapp!

Sam Richardson: one of my favorite comedic actors received another nom for Ted Lasso. He'll always be Richard Splett to me!

Donald Glover: Sadly, Atlanta's phenomenal last season was snubbed except for one cinematography nom (How did the Goofy Movie ep not get anything? It was genius). However, his new show Swarm did pretty well, garnering 3 noms including one for Dominique Fishback (well deserved!)

Kate Berlant and John Early: While A League of Their Own was snubbed (it did get an HCA nom yesterday for Best Costume though), the stunningly talented Kate received a nom with John for their hilarious Peacock show Would It Kill You To Laugh?

Kumail Nanjiani: Bo's good friend and co-star in The Big Sick received a nom for his Welcome to Chippendales show. Fun fact: Kumail and his wife Emily V. Gordon were nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award for that film but lost to Jordan Peele for Get Out.

SO many successful comedians—congratulations! 🙌🏼
