Movies

And they don't vote until January. You have no way of telling what percentage of the Academy are liberal Americans.

Heck, even Sean Penn just spoke out about the virtues of Charlie Kirk so if what you're saying is true, he just blew his third Oscar...but no, after Academy members have a chance to see the movie (some maybe not even until December or January), that will be long forgotten. Emilia Perez blew its Oscar chances because Sonja Gaston was called out for her tweets in late January.

Saw One Battle this afternoon. Wow. Now I understand the hype. Utterly compelling. Tension just mounts and mounts. Loved it . goodvibe61 Sep 27, 17:08

oscars are complete bull**** but they may as well rename the best director award this year to the PTA award Moviesnob Sep 27, 21:09

I love Sinners. If I was voting for director; I'd probably vote for PTA. Several things about it are truly masterful. {nm} goodvibe61 Sep 28, 00:19

And yet, there must be a reason why PTA hasn't won an Oscar...I think he wins for screenplay over director. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 28, 07:12

More reason that he's "due to win". {nm} Antibody Sep 28, 07:41

No one is "due"...Christopher Nolan finally won because he made a great movie that appealed to all branches of the Academy TheWeekendWarrior Sep 28, 07:51

And Warners has a real quandary right now, because Ryan Coogler's Sinners made them $336 million worldwide. One Battle won't even come close TheWeekendWarrior Sep 28, 07:55

One Battle After Another hits at the right political moment. Some voters will see SINER just as a horror film. {nm} Antibody Sep 28, 08:02

Oscars are not voted in a vacuum. Emotions, timing and past history factor into it as much as "merit" which is completely subjective. {nm} Antibody Sep 28, 07:57

Gleiberman "think a solid segment of the audience for this movie is going to come from the right. " Antibody Sep 28, 08:27

It's definitely possible. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 28, 09:10
