Oscars (pre) Summary, honest!
even though this year i really did manage to see all of the best picture contenders with weeks to spare, somehow i forgot to put down my ranks before tonight’s ceremony:
- Sinners - so good
- One Battle After Another
- Hamnet - you could penalize it for using child loss grief, but i feel that actually turning it into artistic drive was really wonderful and powerful. and Jessie Buckley was amazing
- Bugonia - i didn’t realize until now that this was a remake of the Korean film “Save the Green Planet!” which allegedly i have seen but of which i have no recollection; i guess time to (re)watch
- Marty Supreme - all these Safdie movies where a guy is running on the brink of disaster just stress me out
- Sentimental Value
- Train Dreams
- Secret Agent
- F1
- Frankenstein - ugh it looks like i’m in a video game
