Hi. Hey. Mike here. When media companies cancel Late Night shows to appease fascist presidents, America fucking ends.

Go see Ran at the IFC, his best Shakespeare adaption, gorgeous cinematography and score, and his only Best Director nomination.

Balls of steel

nathan fielder went on CNN to talk about airline safety this morning lmfao

The mindf*ck of the year

And if she was voted out, she would've gotten the same music Mitch had

Would've been the same music if it was Joe or Eva

She's greedy and she's not greedy enough.

Seeing completely unqualified people rise to the top of U.S. health agencies is a deep insult to the doctors who have dedicated their lives to improving public health. It also reflects a failure of our institutions to effectively communicate the importance of evidence-based care.

Red Beard, his most human film contrasted with their dissociation.

It's Redemption Island all over again

And with how they're tiptoeing around in the edit, he's probably going to win.....

SHe might be right for once

“Dear Academy members, At the heart of the Academy's mission is a commitment to honoring excellence in the motion picture arts and sciences and connecting the world through the power of cinema. We do this through our work on the Oscars, our exhibitions and programs, our preservation and education efforts, and so much more. We believe deeply in the ability of film to illuminate, to provoke thought, and to bridge divides by offering a window into diverse human experiences.”

“We fundamentally believe that film has the power to enlighten global audiences and highlight different perspectives - and we encourage our members to use their art to do so. The Academy condemns harming or suppressing artists for their work or their viewpoints. We are living in a time of profound change, marked by conflict and uncertainty - across the globe, in the U.S., and within our own industry. Understandably, we are often asked to speak on behalf of the Academy in response to social, political, and economic events. In these instances, it is important to note that the Academy represents close to 11,000 global members with many unique viewpoints.”

“We are, however, united in a shared belief in the importance of storytelling, in the value of empathy, and in the role of film as a catalyst. As an organization, our focus continues to be the celebration of creative voices that make up the global film community - and supporting your freedom to create, to challenge, and to imagine. We remain steadfast in this work, and we are grateful to walk alongside each of you in it. Bill Kramer and Janet Yang”

AMPAS has issued a new statement that basically says: “we will continue to say nothing.” they don’t even bother mentioning Hamdan Ballal — an Oscar winner!!! — by name.

Dude is just begging for Sai to vote him out ....

It's similar to when there are reports about misbehavior from showrunners from the crew, but the actors say they were treated kindly.

Doing your taxes is so cool right now — Like you’re gonna spend a lot of time filing them and they get delivered into a smoking hole in the ground.

Park Chan-wook can do no wrong

For Chalamet, the mindset that he has been branded as someone who will 100% have multiple opportunities in the future plays a role into it

People of LA, fear not. That wasn’t an earthquake, it was just Karla Sofia Gascon crashing the Vanity Fair party.

I would have expected no better but it is genuinely staggering that not one of the four people who accepted Academy Awards for Emilia Pérez thought to do so much as utter the word "trans"

She gets nominated every single year....it's not a secret.

Severance Gets Lost in Time Like “The Constant” did for Lost, “Chikhai Bardo” finds emotional resonance — and perhaps a clue — in the shifting “whens” of this story.

Will I find any excuse to write about LOST and run with it? Maybe! But I also think there are some interesting connections between the most recent SEVERANCE episode and "The Constant."

Gene Hackman scrunched behind a hotel toilet, using surveillance equipment to listen intently to the room next door.

2025 watch #30: The Conversation. Something about watching this in 2025 makes it hit even harder than it used to. The loneliness amongst others, the voyeuristic observation of life without participation, the sickening dread of being known. Understands the internet age long before its existence.

a win for mikey madison is also a win for BETTER THINGS

In that case, it will be at the expense of Emilia Perez

Behold! My 2025 #Oscars menu, here to satisfy all that you Concrave. (As always, I'd like to thank the Academy, but not as much as I'd like to thank my wife, for her exacting editing and ingenious punmanship.)

It’s Hollywood’s biggest night (derogatory)

Same here. That's exactly why Brody looks safe with the voting window, otherwise would be more uncertain. Also why I have Madison. Very hard to believe Anora wins the other three and not her when BAFTA did the opposite.
