Then stop reading books or magazines; stop watching TV; stop reading newspapers (fake news) or even watching Sesame Street.......because it's all "Hollywood"
It's all FAKE.

Just a big narcissistic rich persons party where they get to sprinkle in a bunch of their elitist ides on how we should all live our lives while they often tend to do the exact opposite behind closed doors.Quote:

She seems really nice, and she took a serious beating last year for Ghostbusters.
Okay, I'll give you that one...she IS really nice and she did get quite a "beating" for Ghostbusters (I'm assuming she didn't write the script, which was horrible). The two saving graces of that film was McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth. But that script.....ugh!
Okay, the story is that I bumped into her on an elevator in NYC, while I was visiting Rock Center. I somehow got lost and found myself in some sort of service elevator and the doors open and in walks Kristen Wiig herself, unaccompanied and looking confused herself. She asked me if she was in the wrong elevator - I guess she didn't expect to see a regular person riding that particular elevator - anyways,
it took me a second, but then I recognized her and I kind of froze. I said the only thing that came to my mind, "Hello" she said hi and smiled nicely.
I told her that it was okay because I too was lost and probably shouldn't be in the elevator. She said okay, and then got off on another floor. I was totally oblivious to the fact that they film SNL in that building. BTW, Gilly and Penelope are two of my favorite characters of hers. And that, my friends, was my one Hollywood moment.
So yay Kristen Wiig! (and I saw Welcome to Me)

That being said, I've only seen maybe 3 movies all year, and I'm not sure if any of them were even made this year. I now ARQ wasn't... maybe Welcome to Me was? I don't even remember if I watched a third one.
Meh... give all the awards to Welcome to Me and Kristen Wigg if it was. She seems really nice, and she took a serious beating last year for Ghostbusters.

You may consider the title to be a slang phrase.
Translation: who do you think gave the best or most exemplary performance in cinema, regardless of the PC dreck the Academy will lower themselves to nominate or vote for.
I agree with your take on this topic Jewels. This is about what "we" would like to see get an Oscar nomination. Who we would like to see win one, and not about politics or even movie stars congratulating each other.
Me, I watch to compare notes, but also because of tradition. I've been watching pretty much all my life, and it tickles me. Fuck politics and everything else. It's pure escapism for a couple of hours, that's entertainment, like any other show. Besides, it's not everyone's cup o' tea.

I saw Dark Tower at Best Buy for $6, but $19 at Walmart.

I didn't say fake was bad.
They need to keep their political opinions to themselves is what I was saying. I don't need some mega-rich creeps telling me how I should behave, and I find the current trend of a lot of them being proven hypocrites and the creeps that they are hilarious.
I really can't wait until the identity politics of "male vs female" finally ends and we start hearing stories about how just as many female celebrities are garbage people as well.

Welcome to Me was a good movie. I'm assuming she either wrote that or at least had input in the creative process.
She had nothing to do with the Ghostbusters "script", which can hardly be called a script at all. It was more just an outline of the original movie and Feig let them ad-lib every scene. Supposedly it was written by him and some female suit at Sony (I forget what her name was).
Glad to hear that Kristen sounds nice. I haven't seen a ton of her stuff and I never caught anything she did on SNL since I haven't really watched it much since the days of Hartman and Farley.

I have new suggestions for Oscar nominations:
Since I saw "3 Billboards" on Saturday, which I really liked (right up there with Wind River) I've got a few suggestions...........
Frances McDormand - Best Actress
Sam Rockwell - Best Supporting Actor
Woody Harrelson - Best Actor/Supporting Actor (either one would be fine)
Martin McDonagh - Best Screenplay

Hey there,
I know, I already gave my predictions, but after seeing The Shape of Water and Sally Hawkins performance....I just have to add her name to the list and say that come Oscar night I will be torn between McDormand and Hawkins for Best Actress.
Richard Jenkins for Best Supporting Actor.

Sorry, not this year.
The Searchers, 1956
Director: John Ford
Stars John Wayne & Jeffrey Hunter
I believe more than 1 critic has said this is the greatest American movie. And it Is epic.
Yet, it wasn't nominated for any Academy Awards!
When I kept my TV in the house, I used to make myself watch it once a year. But it's
harsh & hard to watch. Yes, there's some comic relief, but inadequate to the dead serious
point of the film.
My only criticism: Henry Brand, a German, plays Scar, the war chief. And I'm sure that
Jay Silverheels wasn't the only red-Indian actor at the time.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
