Who is he?

 

[pbsmooth]

Mr Bean. But I was wondering who the woman is.

An Irish Goodvye....delighted it won an oscar.
It's a great short film.
Happy birthday to James Martin.

Pity about The Banshees

An Irish Goodbye is available on the BBC iPlayer.
A heart warming delightful story - could have been a full feature length film...

Emily Blunt...?

 

[Gromit]

Emily Blunt...?

Correct.

I saw her being interviewed by Sky.
Dull, dull and dull.
Her presentation skit I thought was cringe.

Disappointed. I really wanted to like her real life. Mainly because of this (2 mins 30ish):

 

[Gromit]

Speaking of Sky interviews Jamie Lee Curtis had one and then made a weird expression as she left (which the camera just about caught).

I wondered at that expression until I saw her speech.

I think the expression was "I just lied my ass off to that woman".

She said she didn't have a speech planned or practiced. Just happy to be there etc.

She wanted to win. That emotional speech was real emotion but also fully prepped and ready to go if needed.

Jeeez. How selfish and inconsiderate can you be? Why sit wearing that and block everyone behind you the view. Can see the guy behind her having trouble

How do you know there's a guy sitting behind her? Could be a woman or an empty seat?

 

[donkyboy]

are you blind to the guy on the right tilting his head?

 

[belboid]

Hugh really doesn’t want to be there, does he?

Why is he there? He’s never been nominated for owt.

Glad EEAAO won out. And for Women Talking’s win, astounding film.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

are you blind to the guy on the right tilting his head?

I think that's the guy next to her, not behind her.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

I was glad to see James Hong at the Oscars. IMHO, he deserves a life-time achievement award just for the length of his IMDB page.

 

[donkyboy]

I think that's the guy next to her, not behind her.

She is still blocking his view.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

She is still blocking his view.

She is, as well as the view of everyone behind her. There's no excuse for it.

 

[Gromit]

She is still blocking his view.

Legend has it that she blocked the sun out for an entire country and all the plants died so everyone had to move countries.

 

[Gromit]

Legend also has it that man cricked his neck so far he ended up watching Oscars taking place in a different dimension where all the results were the same except for best animation. He's convinced Puss in boots won and no one can convince him otherwise.

I lasted about half an hour of that Everything, everywhere thing. It was terrible.

i'll try again though. Tar was clearly the best film in years so no idea how they fucked their awards campaign so badly if they're beaten by that rubbish.

 

[8ball]

Did Top Gun win anything?

How do you know it's rubbish if you only watched half an hour?

 

[Aladdin]

Did Top Gun win anything?

Won an oscar for sound.

 

[krtek a houby]

Swept the boards.

Wrong

Just sound?
Was such a massive hit I’d have expected more.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

EEAAA started off with some nice ideas but I was bored by the end. Too much relentless action for my tastes. And it didn't actually make a whole lot of sense. I can imagine whichever physicist they had as a consultant getting rather frustrated, and I felt like I'd been a bit misled by the end because it's not really about a multiverse at all.

I really liked its depiction of Chinese culture and manners. That was probably the strongest aspect of it. The Sci-Fi wasn't Sci enough for me.

 

[Orang Utan]

So many wrong opinions on Everything Everywhere All At Once. Have never identified with these characters and ideas so much before. Even more relatable than Peanuts/Charlie Brown

 

[Orang Utan]

Physicists lol

It's a bit gung ho

I didn’t see Tar, but in my mind it sounds like fun.

Starts off as plodding thriller involving an escalating number of missing persons until the revelation that Eco-road surface experiments have gone horribly wrong and people are being swallowed up by the newly-sentient tarmac, at which point it becomes gore-core monster schlock.

The road dies at the end due to cuts in local Government maintenance funding.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Physicists lol

Yeah. They will have had scientific consultants. A lot of films do. It is satisfying when a sci-fi film takes the science seriously. Interstellar, for instance, gets its relativity more or less right due to the involvement of physicist Kip Thorne.
