Expect "Sinners" To Get Oscars For Most Significant Categories.

[The_Renaissance]

Was it good? I haven't seen it

8/10 sure, cool vibe. But basically a remake of From Dusk Til Dawn in a different setting. But it was good.

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

I do think a movie about Robert Johnson would work, kinda jazz it up a bit with the Devil at those crossroads, his drinking and womanizing, the music, that night he was posioned. If done right...........................

Story goes he learned to play guitar in a graveyard sitting on tombstones, hmmmmm?

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Why won't they make an oscar for best stunts already?

Because Jackie Chan is all but retired lol
(You're 100% right though, should have always been a category. I'd imagine less and less films would have anything that would fit the bill nowadays)

 

[Fedorgasm]

They should just give it all the Oscars. Who cares?

It's the equivalent of giving it used toilet paper.

 

[Pittie Petey]

They should just give it all the Oscars. Who cares?

It's the equivalent of giving it used toilet paper.

Used by Sydney Sweeney?

Tell that to the winners.

I have some ribbons and trophies from my track/football days a long time ago, yep......they mean something to me.

 

[HenryFlower]

it might win Casting, Original Score, Original Screenplay, & probably has a shot at Cinematography because that category has been a toss-up this awards season. i think that’s it though.

 

[ssBaldy]

I haven't watched it yet though I will in a few days, so I will reserve my judgement until then. Doubt it's worse than Anora, at least, though would not really be surprised if it is.

 

[nicapica]

Way better in theaters it translates poorly to tvs. Zootopia 2 was captivating in both formats.

 

[Madmick]

I look forward to the day after the big fancy pants awards gala spectacular when all the same usual chatterboxes, the ones that always pop into every awards show thread to talk about how they dont care about awards shows, are in here whining, crying and pissing their pants because those people won an award

Hey, how's it going, I'll be showing up ahead of schedule.

Coogler is one of the most overrated directors alive, I've said that in past threads, and it's only a testament to how emaciated prestige filmmaking is when it comes to ideas today that it's getting this many nominations. Nevertheless, while I think this film is overrated, it's at least interesting. It's unpredictable. It's ambitious. It's bold.

But FYI, Petey, the war is over, and my side won. The Oscars has become so marginalized as a beacon of mainstream culture that it can't even stay on network television. It's been banished to the Cable TV of today. I'm guessing you missed this headline:

The Oscars will abandon broadcast TV for YouTube starting in 2029​

YouTube TV, specifically, the expensive subscription service ($83/mo) which is one of the few services-- like Fubo-- that has arisen to supplant what used to be Cable television subscriptions with premium Live TV coverage. YouTube TV currently boasts around 10m subscribers. This is a pitiful slice of the American population, which is roughly 350m, presently, and past viewership numbers have included counts of non-Americans like Canadians, too (2024 drew 4.5m Canadian viewers).

That's because the viewership chart looks like this:

Not in the USA. Again, the broadcast will be on YouTube TV.

That is their premium subscription service starting at $83/mo standard rates (after promotional periods end).

There's already been rebroadcasting across the world (over 200 countries/territories) on various channels prior to this deal. This simplifies and centralizes it, but it has never been a significant draw, globally. These are basically Olympics rules, but unlike the Olympics, the rest of the world is far more indifferent.

They're desperately hoping they can drum up some momentum on international views because the ceremony is dying as a vehicle of prestige in the USA. This signaled the nail in that coffin.

oh, Mick, you goose. that’s just saying viewers in the US will also have the option to watch it on YoutubeTV if they are a subscriber. a subscription to YoutubeTV will not be required to watch the Oscars live, however.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

i don't think that many people outside of america will watch it live. most people don't even know about it. it's a mostly us event.

and with "jewels" like sinners getting this many nominations, it just means the level of movies is abysmal or its just a political event. cause the movie sucked.

Alright, if so, I stand corrected, and that's a departure from the intent signaled in the WSJ article I read last year.

the wording in the Academy press release is trash, but there is clarification in some of the reports on Youtube’s acquisition.

Forbes

YouTube reaches over 2 billion viewers globally. While that doesn’t mean a quarter of the world’s population will be watching the Academy Awards by the end of the 2020s, it does mean that for the first time in the show’s history it’ll be accessible to that many people without charge. This includes viewers in the U.S. whether they have a YouTube TV subscription or not.

AP

The Academy Awards will stream for free worldwide on YouTube, in addition to YouTube TV subscribers. It will be available with audio tracks in many languages, in addition to closed captioning.

Variety

The Oscars Moving to YouTube Beginning in 2029, Will Stream Free Worldwide
