blackwing March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 I’m so happy for Michelle Yeoh. Amazing that she is only the second non-white Best Actress in Oscar history. I do realise that there are quite a number of actresses who are claimed to be Asian (Vivian Leigh, supposedly part Indian) and those of descent from the continent of Asia (Cher, Armenian and Natalie Portman, Israel). But Yeoh is the first winner who actually looks Asian. I loved her speech. 16 1 Link to comment

Popular Post aradia22 March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share March 13, 2023 Quote I kind of felt bad for Jessica Chastain, she clearly had no idea she was going to be called upon and she’s on worldwide TV, the only one seen wearing a mask and clearly wasn’t prepared so was shown awkwardly removing her mask. I know she's in A Doll's House on Broadway and has to think about the cast/production as well as her family at home. But I'm sure she's not the only one in the theater currently working on a project so kudos to her for continuing to wear a mask. 27 Link to comment

I just read one description as: "It is an inventive cross between an indie drama about an immigrant family, a zany sci-fi adventure and a superhero action film." I can count on one hand the number of times I've liked films in those last two genres, but the first is right up my alley. I suspect I'll come away from it liking the performances far more than the story, but we'll see. Edited March 13, 2023 by Bastet 3 Link to comment
Irlandesa March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 29 minutes ago, WendyCR72 said: Because Tom Cruise probably wants to pretend he's still some irresistible stud? I think it's probably because he felt like he needed to have a love story in it because there was a love story in the original. Overall, most of his recent movies aren't focused on his character's love life. 2 minutes ago, KaveDweller said: Only about 35 minutes over, that's not so bad.

Not for me either...that being said, however, I did recognize the quality of the acting , I just didn't care much for the story on a whole.

She was the epitome old Hollywood elegance. Edited March 13, 2023 by gingerella 7 Link to comment
Popular Post NUguy514 March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share March 13, 2023 I burst into tears right along with Ariana DeBose when Ke Huy Quan won and was still sort of crying when Jamie Lee Curtis won. I started crying again when the Daniels won Original Screenplay, cheered on Sarah Polley when she won, thought dirty thoughts when Paul Rogers was giving his winning speech for Editing, cheered on the Daniels' Director win, breathed a sigh of relief and teared up a bit when Brendan Fraser won, screamed and burst into tears when Michelle Yeoh won (even though it was all but a formality by that point), and was still crying when EEAaO won Picture and Quan and Harrison Ford embraced. Honestly, I could not have asked for a more personally thrilling Oscars outcome. Yes, I likely would've also cried had Angela Bassett or Colin Farrell or Paul Mescal won, but I'm just so thrilled, and I loved how excited the audience was. Even though I couldn't make it through the movie, the "Naatu Naatu" number was so much fun and was obviously going to win. I'm also thrilled Pinocchio and Navalny won; they were both incredible. And Andrew Garfield is still looking super hot. But really: I don't even know, guys, I'm a mess. 15 10 Link to comment

Or sometimes maybe a performer does it on purpose to get attention, like Cher the year she got snubbed for Best Actress for “Mask”, was asked to present and had Bob Mackie design a “screw you” dress for her to wear to the ceremony.

LennieBriscoe March 13, 2023 Share March 13, 2023 Raise your hand if you've actually watched the entire "EEAAO" and "The Whale." I've read of theater-goers walking out of both. The 3-person "The Whale," with supposedly the "Best Actor" amongst them, couldn't get itself nominated for "Best Picture." How does THAT work?? (Yes, twice before. Not exactly ringing support, considering history.) Maybe Austin and Baz should have made the film only about Late-Vegas Big Elvis. Then at least tonight's "Best Actor in a Fat Suit" would have been competitive. 1 1 Link to comment

The Academy really nailed this one. Having Halle Berry on the stage instead of the banned Will Smith to present the award to Michelle Yeoh was perfect scripting. If Cate Blanchett had won, it would have been just a normal presentation but they'd prepared for the historic moment by having Halle Berry there.👏 11 Link to comment
