Oppenheimer wins 7 Oscars (Best Picture) (film & awards)

How about both of you cool off and let people enjoy what they enjoy without feeling the need to belittle them for it?

Cut the both sides BS.
Show me where I belittled anybody's opinion.
It's other people who declare holy war when someone doesn't accept their opinion as the gospel of truth.

I didn’t say they were objectively bad.

And you're equally quick to snap back, which just shut the argument down.

How is anyone's life on here impacted by liking a movie you don't like? How is anyone's life on here impacted by not liking a movie you like?

Both of you just cool off. Neither of your lives are impacted by it, and I can assure you, neither are anyone else's.

Yeah, this is a thread about first world problems.
Boo effing hoo.

By this standard Baby Shark is the best song ever recorded.

For some people it may well be and they are entitled to their opinion.
It's not my job to yuck on anyone's yum.

Oppenheimer will be the first blockbuster to win since Return of the King, 20 years ago.
Two years ago CODA became the lowest grossing Oscar winner ever with just 1 million.

To be fair, CODA was a streaming exclusive.

On the other hand, we know what becomes (or more correctly, doesn't become) of most streaming exclusives in terms of people discussing them or even seeing them to begin with.

Even for a streaming movie, CODA was pretty obscure. In Greece it became the first best picture winner since WW2 that wasn't released theatrically and the sad thing is that this wasn't even news.

Sigh.

I’m not watching that. Use your own words.

Is nine minutes too long for your attention span?

If the argument is worth making, you should make it yourself. Don't just substitute other people's analysis for your own.

I admit that's a cop-out I haven't seen until now.
Kudos kid for keeping things interesting.

Godzilla is now an Oscar-winning franchise.

Wes Anderson gets home an Oscar too for Henry Sugar.

I skipped the Oscars to watch Hereditary, which was a good choice. Glad to see Maestro didn't win anything. Hate to see Oppenheimer win best editing; that might be one of the worst Oscar choices ever, which is saying something.

How bad, on a scale of 1 to Bohemian Rhapsody? Maybe I'm uncultured swine but Oppenheimer's breakneck Michael Bay editing contributed to the swirling relentlessness of the movie (and made it extra notable when it would let up occasionally), which I enjoyed.

It's not even close to one of the worst Oscar choices ever. A lot of people don't realize how many borderline unwatchable movies have received awards instead of beloved classics and much better films over the last century.

It's one thing for a film which was praised when it was released and became dated, and another to be considered bad even by its contemporaries.
I can't put in the same boat "Cavalcade" or "The Greatest Show on Earth" with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Green Book".

Jimmy's rom-com joke during his opening speech was not so well-received by the German media, in case anyone wants to know.

I hope Hollywood knows that there are many other talented, much funnier, and less douchey comedians they can pick from to host their award shows. It seems like they've been shoving him down our throats for the past three years.

Most of them have no desire to be put under a microscope and viciously attacked for some off-color remark they made 20 years ago.
