truthaboutluv March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 Well I'll hold the unpopular opinion that as someone who one, didn't think Everything Everywhere was that great, I'm hardly excited to spend the next three hours watching some psuedo-sweep. Thank goodness no one was eligible for Best Actor. And I agree with many others that if they were going to give the award to one of the Everything Everywhere women, Stephanie Hsu's performance was far and away so much better than JLC's, it's almost laughable. 5 1 Link to comment
blackwing March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 Good lord, this show sucks. One hour in and they’ve only given out five awards. Why couldn’t they play the Little Mermaid commercial during the actual commercials? 2 Link to comment
KittyQ March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 Exactly why put in the Little Mermaid commercial? This is an award show for features that have already been released. Boo. 2 Link to comment
thuganomics85 March 13, 2023 Author Share March 13, 2023 Sorry, Disney, but the FX trailer showing the return of Raylan Givens has me more excited than your live action Little Mermaid! 4 1 Link to comment

MadyGirl1987 March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 I am sad for Halle Bailey. She seems like a perfectly fine singer/actress, but the live action remakes are not good and when this one is no different, she's going to get the blame... Link to comment

wallflower75 March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 I recently saw the original All Quiet on the Western Front and was just blown away. I'm a little hesitant to see this new version because of that. Anyone who's seen both versions--what did you think? Link to comment

kittykat March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 All Quiet was fine but I was a little irked at how much they strayed from the source material and cut many characters for a rather unnecessary subplot. Still a good movie just not the best of the year for me. 1 Link to comment

An upset to EEAAO brewing? 1917 won but then Parasite won BP so I wouldn't say it's an ironclad theory. I remember that being an overdue Oscar for Roger Deakins.

The new version is different. It is a well done movie, beautifully filmed and acted. I think it comes down to if you'll find you tend to focus too much on comparison. For me, I would wait a bit just so I didn't get stuck in that mind circle. 2 minutes ago, MerBearHou said: Oh my gosh… this song is insanely bad. OMG. What was that? 3 Link to comment
