Can't wait for the headline: "Christian hails Satan"

Burnett is amazing. That was a magical show. Totally forgot Ernie Anderson was the announcer. I'll still stop and watch those infomercials for her DVD sets just for the clips.

And shoot - maybe Jeff Bridges wasn't really acting in Lebowski. Man - that dude has a great laugh.

 

Satan apparently is demanding a retraction and apology.

 

It's not like he thanked L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology.

Best Picture nods

"Black Panther"

"BlacKkKlansman"

"Bohemian Rhapsody"

"The Favourite"

"Green Book"

"Roma"

"A Star Is Born"

"Vice"

 

Kinda surprised Eastwood didn't get a nomination.

 

Does Spike Lee still refer to his films as "joints"? If so, that's corny.

Of the nominees, I want to see "BlacKkKlansman" and "Vice," in particular. "Bohemian Rhapsody" was great and would be a worthy winner, IMHO. Black Panther was so boring I stopped watching.

EDIT: In the current climate, I am guessing that "Vice" is going to win big: best movie, best actor, best original screenplay. Also, the "RBG" movie will probably win for Best Documentary.

 

Vice isn't very good, I don't think. Bale is good. Vice is not good.

 

interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if the target alone (Cheney) carried it a long way towards all those nominations. I still want to see it, though.

 

Nah, it's goodish. I do wonder if I would have liked it more had I not seen The Big Short, because the reuse of creative tricks diminished the freshness of Vice. That, and the plot coulda had a clearer POV

I thought Christopher Robin was the best movie of the year, and I'm disappointed it didn't get any Oscar love.

 

You might be joking, but I truly enjoyed that movie. I mean, the ending was predictable as hell, but so what. At least it got a nomination for Best Visual Effects.
