Oscar Voter Reveals Her Brutally Honest Ballot >http://w

Best Picture

I hated Arrival — it just sucked. I didn't like Fences because they just filmed the play — I wanted to see the guy go into the jazz club and play his music, the girl who's having his baby, his kid on the football field. But I think Denzel [Washington, its producer/director/star] decided that every word of the script [by the late August Wilson] was so precious that he wasn't going to "mess" with it, and the movie suffered as a result. I loved the first half of Lion, but I felt like a different director and cinematographer made the second half. I thought Hidden Figures was wonderful — because it's a great story, not because it was especially hard to tell. It's almost like a glorified Movie of the Week. Moonlight and Hacksaw Ridge were really very good, but I don't think of them as a best picture. La La Land was tremendously enjoyable, but not all that deep or memorable. That left me with Manchester by the Sea and Hell or High Water, two compassionate movies that were incredibly well written, directed and acted. Hell or High Water isn't going to win, but it was my favorite, and it will be remembered as a true American classic.

My vote
(1) Hell or High Water
(2) Manchester by the Sea
(3) La La Land
(4) Hacksaw Ridge
(5) Moonlight

Best Director

Forget about Arrival [director Denis Villeneuve]. After that, it was tough. I decided not to go with Hacksaw Ridge, and not because of anything to do with Mel Gibson's personal problems — even though I'm Jewish. I think he's a different person now; he's a very talented director, and I wish him well. [Moonlight's] Barry Jenkins did a really good job, but the movie's three parts aren't as connected as they could have been. That left me with Manchester [Kenneth Lonergan] and La La Land [Damien Chazelle]. Damien is such a sweetheart; I loved what he did with Whiplash and this one, and he's probably going to win. But I voted for Lonergan, because it was harder to make everything click on that movie, and he really succeeded.

My vote
Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester by the Sea)

Best Actor

Denzel has played this role a million times before, and he got the Tony for it — I'm sure he was amazing onstage, but he didn't do anything unexpected on film. You've got to seem alive in the moment, and maybe if he'd gotten a really great director to direct him, that person would have nudged him to do that. [Hacksaw's] Andrew Garfield and [La La Land's] Ryan Gosling were very good, but not Oscar-level. [Manchester's] Casey Affleck had a role worthy of his brave acting, and he was absolutely wonderful. But I loved, loved, loved Viggo Mortensen's performance [in Captain Fantastic]. He is an actors' actor, and I voted for him. Unfortunately, it's probably the only vote he'll get.

My vote
Viggo Mortensen (Captain Fantastic)

Best Actress

I liked none of them. I thought Meryl [Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins] played it like a clown — she's cute and adorable, but this woman didn't matter to me in the end — but people are gaga over Meryl, and I think she solidified her nomination when she gave that speech at the Golden Globes. I don't think she would have gotten nominated without it. I hated Jackie so much — it was just shallow crap — so no Natalie Portman. [Elle's] Isabelle Huppert is an ice-cold actress, and I eliminated her because when you get attacked, beaten and raped, you're not the same person afterward, but she was, and I wanted to slap her to try to get a reaction out of her. The girl in La La Land [Emma Stone] is going to win because she's adorable and everybody loves her, but I don't think she was as wonderful as people are saying. That leaves me with Ruth Negga for Loving, who was fairly one-note, but engaging enough.

My vote
Ruth Negga (Loving)

Best Supporting Actor

I thought [Lion's] Dev Patel and the kid from Manchester [Lucas Hedges] were really good, but not great. The guy from Moonlight [Mahershala Ali] was good, but I don't think his character was that developed — I mean, he's this great guy, and then all of a sudden he just disappears. I really liked Michael Shannon in a movie that I didn't like [Nocturnal Animals] — in fact, I voted to nominate him. But my heart is with Jeff Bridges, because I loved [Hell or High Water]. The acting was sheer perfection. Jeff makes it look easy but, boy, what he does is not easy.

My vote
Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water)

Best Supporting Actress

I immediately ruled out [Fences'] Viola Davis — don't get me wrong, I love her and I think she's wonderful, but that's my protest vote. She should have been in the lead actress category, and when the studios put these actresses who are clearly the lead in the supporting category — like they did with [The Danish Girl's] Alicia Vikander last year, even though she had more lines than the guy [Eddie Redmayne] — that really irks me. Because it prevents real supporting actresses, like the waitress in Hell or High Water [Margaret Bowman], from getting nominated. Viola will probably win, but she belonged in the leading lady category. I love [Hidden Figures'] Octavia Spencer, but I felt the other two women in the film [Taraji P. Henson and Janelle Monae] were better. Nicole [Kidman in Lion] wasn't all that different from everything else I've seen her do. So, for me, it was between Michelle [Williams for Manchester], for a true supporting part, and the gal from Moonlight [Naomie Harris]. Both of them were wonderful, but the gal from Moonlight went to places that were harder to go to.

My vote
Naomie Harris (Moonlight)

Best Adapted Screenplay

As you know, I hated Arrival. The Lion script was uneven. I didn't really consider Fences because I don't think it was adapted. So it came down to Moonlight and Hidden Figures, and I just thought the story of Moonlight was more of a challenge to tell.

My vote
Moonlight

Best Original Screenplay

20th Century Women was cute, but it didn't fully work. The Lobster was interesting but a little bit weird for me. La La Land was very light. So I was torn between Manchester and Hell or High Water. [Manchester's] Lonergan is very bright and wrote a brilliant screenplay, but I have to go with Hell or High Water, even though it doesn't have a chance of winning.

My vote
Hell or High Water

Best Animated Feature

I watched them all and liked several of them, but I loved The Red Turtle, which was the most profound of the group.

My vote
The Red Turtle

Best Documentary Feature

I'm ruling out O.J. [Made in America] even though I still have an hour of it left to watch — maybe for younger people this is new stuff, but for me it's just reliving a part of the past I don't need to relive. I was disappointed with I Am Not Your Negro — I was really looking forward to learning more about James Baldwin's life, rather than his ideas (which I already knew), because when I first came to New York as a young actress, he was such an avant-garde playwright and fascinating guy. Three-quarters of Ava DuVernay's movie [13th] was wonderful, but the last quarter was so preachy that I felt like I was hit over the head, which was a turnoff. They did a really good job with Fire at Sea, except I hated that little kid in it — killing birds and cutting up cacti and all of that. I voted for Life, Animated because I thought it was a positive story, how the parents took a massive challenge and made something of it.

My vote
Life, Animated

Best Foreign Film Language

I hated the German movie [Toni Erdmann] so much because it was so shticky — Germans are not funny! The only part of the whole movie where I laughed was when she couldn't get out of her tight dress and just ripped it off and went around naked. I hear Jack Nicholson is going to be in a remake, and he might make it funny. The other four were beautifully done, so it was hard. The Australian one [Tanna] was gorgeously photographed. Land of Mine really captured the horrors of war. The Salesman will probably win because there will be a big protest vote about [writer-director Asghar Farhadi] not being able to get into this country [because of Trump's travel ban, now under a stay]. But my heart was with [Sweden's] A Man Called Ove. There's something life-affirming about that movie.

My vote
A Man Called Ove

I want to know her reasoning behind dismissing Arrival automatically for every nomination.

Best Cinematography

Arrival is definitely out. Silence had beautiful photography, but I hated that movie so much, with all the Christian stuff beating me over the head — I mean, c’mon, Marty [Scorsese, its director]! Moonlight and the first half of Lion had some impressive stuff. But I voted for La La Land — the cinematography really elevated the movie.

My vote
La La Land

Best Costume Design

The costumes in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Florence Foster Jenkins and Jackie were really good, but I didn’t like the movies. I liked La La Land, but I don’t think the costumes had much to do with that — modern things aren’t that hard to design, although [Stone] looked great, I have to say. And while I didn’t love Allied, the costumes for Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard were the best thing about it. In fact, when they had one of those little parties for it, I went up to that British lady [Joanna Johnston] and told her that, and I don’t think she knew how to respond. Me and my big mouth. (Laughs.)

My vote
Allied

Best Film Editing

This was a really strong category this year. [John Gilbert] did a great job with Hacksaw Ridge, but Hell or High Water was my favorite film, so I’m gonna stick with it here.

My vote
Hell or High Water

>even though I'm Jewish
> I hated that movie so much, with all the Christian stuff beating me over the head — I mean, c’mon, Marty

Best Makeup & Hairstyling

I didn’t like Suicide Squad very much. The Star Trek [Beyond] DVD they sent me stopped halfway through — something was wrong with it — so I called them and asked them to send me another, but they never did, so that eliminated them! The funny thing is I probably would have voted for them. Again, I liked A Man Called Ove — the whole movie — so that’s the one.

My vote
A Man Called Ove

Best Original Score

I really listened to each of them. La La Land’s was very sweet and stood out to me the most.

My vote
La La Land

Best Original Song

I’m not crazy about any of them — you don’t really remember them like you remember songs like “The Way We Were” even years later — but I’ll vote for the Sting one [“The Empty Chair,” for which Sting is nominated with J. Ralph].

My vote
"The Empty Chair" (Jim: The James Foley Story) (What a Madwoman!)

Best Production Design

Arrival was the first to go. Then Hail, Caesar! and Passengers — just mediocre movies. So it was between La La Land and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I’m sure La La Land will win, but I went with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them because I thought the production value on that movie was really wonderful, even though I wasn’t knocked out by the movie itself.

My vote
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them


Best Sound Editing & Best Sound Mixing

These are the categories I have a really hard time with — it would be easier if they just had a “best sound” category, but as it is I’m really totally confused and prefer to just stay out of it.

My vote for both
[Abstain]

Best Visual Effects

I like the effects in Rogue One, but I voted for The Jungle Book because I thought that one, with the animals and everything, was absolutely stunning.

My vote
The Jungle Book

Best Animated Short

The two that I liked the best were Piper, which is so adorable, and the one with the cigarettes where that crazy guy goes to China [Pear Cider and Cigarettes], which I voted for because it is very intriguing and different.

My vote
Pearl Cider and Cigarettes

So we can add Arrival as a movie women will never understand

And last

Best Documentary Short

The one about the immigrants coming across the ocean [4.1 Miles] is no different than what you see on the news. What bothered me about Joe’s Violin is he said he was a Holocaust survivor, but he wasn’t — his mother and brothers were, but he was sent to Siberian gulags — and that made me doubt everything else about the story. The two about Syria [Watani: My Homeland and The White Helmets] were very well done — I almost voted for White Helmets. But I thought Extremis was the most human and least contrived.

My vote
Extremis

Best Live-action short

I thought Timecode was good, but it was more of an intellectual exercise, so I went with my heart: I preferred the one about the woman and the bike and the train [La Femme et le TGV] because I thought there was something really humane about that one. She grew from that experience and it had a really positive message.

My vote
La Femme et le TGV

I thought the categories were vote just for people related to it (Actors to actors, producers to best picture, director to directors... I suppose old academy people has free ticket to vote everything)

Whatever, that was all old jewish lady rant who hated Arrival and loved Hell or High Water. That's all folks.

This. I don't really disagree with most of her decisions. They're fairly reasonable.

But she's like;

>Just get fucked Arrival.

I thought Arrival was a 6/10 at best, but this chick hates it. I mean, even though I didn't think it was that great a movie the cinematography was solid, but she's like;

>Get fucked nigga.

>>79744339

Also, on both Cinematography and Production Design she talked about the movies - Not the actual category. It's retarded when they do that.

Like the guy who got nominated for Lion this year - His cinematography on Rogue One was way better. But it's not a "real" film.

>>79744280

Genuinely sounds personal or she is really angry about one specific point, I bet.

>>79743710
>hating Arrival

fucking pleb.

I think she had PTSD with Arrival because the daughter dies

She really talks about movies with "positive message and good feeligns" in some categories, so maybe it's because Arrival is not that at all.

>>79743948
It's ironic because the film has a female lead

I like how she is proud about being incapable of compartmentalizing technical aspects of movies from whether she liked the movie as a whole or not.
>Silence had beautiful photography, but I hated that movie so much
>The costumes in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Florence Foster Jenkins and Jackie were really good, but I didn’t like the movies

>>79744280
Arrival is a prolife film. Feminists believe Amy Adams character should have aborted the child.

Is "brutally honest" now code for "unreflective and simplistic"?

>>79744571
Oh wow, I didn't even think of that

Kek I love her fucking visceral hatred for Arrival

>>79744585
It's code for just saying you don't like things because you just don't. You know when you hate something and you don't really know how to justify it, you just do, that's brutally honest "reviews".

>>79744627
I don't think being unable to express the reason you dislike something is the same as being honest. Even if it's an emotional or aesthetic reason, you'd still be able to formulate it if you knew yourself well enough and were genuinely honest.

>>79744280
>>79744571

>>79744527
>The costumes in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Florence Foster Jenkins and Jackie were really good, but I didn’t like the movies
What's wrong with that exactly? Hellboy II had some of the most well made costumes in recent history but the movie was awful.

>>79744280
It's like when /tv/ hates on a film for no good reason. Good to know that the upper echelons of Hollywood aren't so different to the shitposters down here.

>>79744571

Actually makes sense. I couldn't put my finger on it. I could tell it was something to do with Amy Adams's choice about the kid that must have pissed her off though.

The way she spoke of the film made it sound like there was one specific thematic or narrative point that royally pissed her off and tainted the film for her.

>this was good because it was great
>this was bad because it wasn't good

>>79743710
Say what you want but at least she knows how to vote for actors. Especially on point with FFJ/Meryl; although amusing enough that her performance should be pointed out, she did play the character like a clown. It's as if today's (ridiculous) image of FFJ was exactly what she took in order to make her.
And as one-note as he is, she got outclassed by Hugh Grant in her own movie.

>>79743758
Viggo deserves to win

>>79744571
I agree that the character should have aborted the child. Having a kid is already one of the most selfish thing humans can do but to have a kid KNOWING they're gonna suffer through cancer after what? only 14-16 years? Is purely monsterous.

Comedies usually at least make me smile or smirk. Tony Erdmann did neither, it was a boring farce with emotional impact.

Golden Army sucks, anon. Not only army itself is just underwhelming just a bunch of golden mechanical golems going mano a mano with nothing notable but the ability to reassemble themselves. Prince posed a bigger threat than those assholes in the finally. The shit was too predictable, like as soon link between those twins was established the ending couldn't have been more obvious and blunt.

That whole bit with with Nuada stabbing him and going: "Find me Abe if you want to save her and Hellboy." So they go to him, then unrelated Del Toro creature just saves him out of the blue and foreshadows the triquel that will never happen.

Then they go to the prince and he doesn't give a shit that Hellboy is alive and well, he doesn't even ask what happened. Then Abe does one of the most retarded things in this movies that I still don't understand, it was literally the sloppiest excuse for having the ramble with golden boys. He just throws the piece to him for no reason, I'd understand if Hellboy was still injured and this was a bargaining chip for saving him this isn't the issue now. So he ends up trowing the piece because "Give me the piece Abe or I won't let her go" so he does and for fuck sake he can't kill her, he can't harm her what the fuck are you doing letting him assemble the crown for how is that going to help in letting her go?

Oh and by the way, the fact that crown is not made by the same principle as the army and can be fucking destroyed is pretty stupid too, invincible army my ass.

Everyone knows they're literally bought, so it makes the nominations even more worthless.

>>79746245
A pensioner. You have plenty of time to waste when you're retired and not sitting here all day shitposting.

Prisoners was a much more engaging movie than Arrival and it wasnt getting all these nominations. I like Denis but his latest film seems like novelty sci fi and not awards contender at all. The acting is ok and the story is original (even playing with the audience at some point) but there is not much to love about the movie besides that, not even the cinematography (except for one scene) which has been a staple in Denis films. I like it but it wont anything and i certainly wont be mad about it.

They're all pensioners anon. Most of them dont watch them because animation "is for kids" and vote for whatever their grankids liked.

>>79743726

Arrival is pleb shit. Muh gloomy monotonous tone with muh epic twist. It's virgin bait basically, the kind of shit the average reddit pleb enjoys.

I have not seen any of the Oscar Nominees minus 1.
Which ones should I watch?
I was thinking
>Hacksaw ridge, La la land, Manchester by the sea, Arrival.

What else?

>>79747218

Skip Arrival, watch the rest.

>>79747258
What about other nomination movies?

>>79747218
Arrival is worth watching and Hacksaw is entertaining. So id say watch those two. If youre in the mood for depressing drama stuff, watch Manchester.

>>79743710
She actually watched everything she voted on and defended her votes, which I suspect puts her in a minority of ASCAP voters. Yeah, she's got a clit-on for Hell or High Water but she didn't vote for it in every category.

>>79744280

she's hating on it so much just to be edgy and get attention

>>79744527

nigger get over yourself, she wasn't 'proud,' she was honest and abstained instead of flipping a fucking coin

>>79747398
>she didn't vote for it in every category.

She literally vote for Hell or High Water in all 4 categories the movie got nominated anon.

>>79744973
>today's (ridiculous) image of FFJ
She was a fucking novelty act even in her own time and possibly the origin of liking things only ironically. Find a historical account contradicting this, you can't.

>>79743710
She watched everything and gave reasons. She also explicitly says she isnt influenced by Oscar bait reasons such as voting for the guy who is affected by Trump's travel ban. Other than having a stick up her ass about Arrival (which doesnt deserve any Oscars anyway) this is probably in the top 95% of reasonable ballot casting.

/ourgal/

arrival is fucking dead

bury it

>>79744866
THERE WAS NOTHING DEEP ABOUT THE MOVIE
WTF PEOPLE

People hate Arrival because they din't understand it the first time
They then create this irrational hatred because they always thought of themselves as "smart indiviuals"

So she hated Arrival and loved Hell or High Water

Not unreasonable

Iranians and maybe lebanese are like the only arabs who actually want to be a part of the countries they emigrate to though, but yeah, pretty manipulative.

Funny, because that's what I gather from people who liked it.

>>79747828
See, the irrational fear I was talking about
You are obviously threatened by the people who liked it
Grow a pair and face it

I decided not to go with Hacksaw Ridge, and not because of anything to do with Mel Gibson's personal problems — even though I'm Jewish.

I hated the German movie [Toni Erdmann] so much because it was so shticky — Germans are not funny!

Silence had beautiful photography, but I hated that movie so much, with all the Christian stuff beating me over the head — I mean, c’mon, Marty [Scorsese, its director]!

The Star Trek [Beyond] DVD they sent me stopped halfway through — something was wrong with it — so I called them and asked them to send me another, but they never did, so that eliminated them!

Reminder that is the Oscars. Old Jewish female plebs, judging technical fields like editing etc they know nothing about, watching the movies on timestamped DVD (not even bluray, in current year ffs) instead of in a fucking theater, with no argument beyond "I liked this one because it was good, but this one was bad", though their strong jew-centered bias.

>>79747218
Only watch Arrival
Rest are trash

>>79747708
this is unironically true from the daily threads that discuss it here

Why didn't she just find the cure in the future?

>>79748054
Whats hard to understand from the movie?

The movie is shit regardless abd people shitpost it because its shit not because they didnt understand the barebone plot of the movie

>>79747978
A lot of voters don't vote on the more technical categories.

>>79748458

>another one of the first three this year voted for the Red Turtle
>literally two years ago these 'Ballots' brought us the wonderful meme of not voting for 'stupid freaking obscure fuckin' Chinese things' and instead picking Big Hero Shit

Guys.... are Oscar voters finally starting to wake up and shake off the Disney conditioning? Are they finally seeing animation as a legitimate art form?

>>79748662

>I didn't get around to seeing any of them. You want the truth? I shouldn't have voted, but I did. This is bad, but here's the power of advertising: everywhere I looked, I saw pictures of this stupid carcass — whatever the fuck that was — and I thought, "That's a cool-looking thing." And I fucking voted for a movie based on the dead whatever it was in the ad thinking that it looked cool.
