Film Awards Talk - 2020

[Ezee E]

Such as?

Not sure myself. He won screenplay in 2013, and Hateful Eight still managed to get some noms (and a Morricone win) despite being lower-loved Tarantino.

[Ezee E]

Can't wait for 1917 btw, but with it being war-focused and with only men in it, I think it goes the way of Dunkirk.

[Irish]

The first time QT took to the Academy stage, he thanked no one and he behaved as if the award he'd just won wasn't good enough:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkA3AoD-0oQ

He implied DeVernay's "Selma" was a made-for-tv movie:
https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...in-controversy

He complained Disney was going out of their way to fuck him:
https://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/12/...-force-awakens

He described movie composers as "that ghetto":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnVw8T2TRA4

He implied Bigelow won her award because she's a woman, and talked shit about Mark Boals:
https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...director-award

He publicly criticized the Academy (along with Scorsese, Lee, and others):
https://slate.com/culture/2019/02/os...e-deakins.html

Tarantino might want Best Pic or Best Director, but over the years he's second guessed & directly insulted the people who vote for those awards.

[Dukefrukem]

Well Disney was going out of their way to fuck him.

I remember him talking about it on Howard Stern.

If you want an industry to give you a major accolade, you don't criticize that industry in the newspapers.

I mean, on a couple of those items I agree with Tarantino. But whether he's right is sorta besides the point.

Obviously the Oscars are still a huge ratings hit, but I wonder what the show's going to do to adjust to times. Seems like they need to alter something over the next few years or it will be at risk.

[Peng]

Yeah I was thinking on Parasite taking Best Director and OUATIH taking Best Picture, then 1917 seems to be coming on big now for the former category (at the very least). Still hoping passion for Parasite leads to some awards surprises in some ways though; it sweeping would be sweet.

Nice work on the Apollo 11 love!

[MadMan]

I think 1917 will probably be the favorite. I could also see The Irishman winning as well.

[transmogrifier]

So did the MCFCA just give away their winner of this year’s Best Film with that decade list? Curious. (Plus, it’s a pretty mediocre film)

Nah, that was an entirely separate category. These noms came out two days before Christmas. Our voting period for the winners started on Tuesday this week and ended last night.

I most certainly hope [I]Joker[/B] doesn't win Best Film, though.

And thanks, E! Don't mean to brag, but I like to guess I had a hand in Apollo 11 getting noms because. . .let's just say it's going to be on my best 10 list this year.

Obviously the Oscars are still a huge ratings hit, but I wonder what the show's going to do to adjust to times. Seems like they need to alter something over the next few years or it will be at risk.

One thing that continues to surprise me is the unavailability of Oscar nominated films right up until the awards.

If the Academy wants people to be interested in the show, they should ensure more people can see the damn movies. I don't know how that would happen, especially because distribution is so screwed up right now, but it needs to happen.

Eg: The trades crowed about "Parasite's" big box office here, but the reality is: It played in less than 700 theaters in the U.S. Few people saw it.

It still made back twice its budget domestically. I call that a win.

Also, I'll post the winners of my guild's awards when they're announced tomorrow, if you guys would be interested.

Thank you. Although I will admit Parasite did come to my neck of the woods. I missed it because it came and left within less than a week.

[MadMan]

Ivan I still have seen a decent number of the winners for the MCFCA's. Little Women and Knives Out are ones I hope to get to in the next few weeks.

[origami_mustache]

I heard Alec Baldwin on Howard Stern talking about how he knows producers that control blocks of votes because elder Academy members grandfathered in from working on movies from the 60s and such that don't keep up ask who they should vote for. Not surprising, but also even more disheartening. Also studios have to actively campaign to win. It is all pretty sick.
