TV & Film
My Oscar ballot results suck. The Academy’s disappointment wins. Moonlight wins over the much acclaimed La La Land Crash gets the statue over Brokeback Mountain, the favorite to win. Green Book was good enough to win, but not the only choice to lose against ‘the people’s’ favorites. Some great film moments of 2018. We the audience are the Academy. Enjoy film however and wherever you can then use your platform to celebrate the movies and shows you enjoy. That one scene in the Favourite when Rachel discovers Emma in the Queens bed. Roma and the representation of water as a narrative. The reveal of the horse-human hybrid in Sorry to Bother You. Topher Graces look of befuddlement after being duped by a black guy. Tessa Thompson... Ready Player One and The Shining recreation The fake ending in Sicario. Overlord, because killing Nazi zombies is fun. The quiet meditation of First Man Soderberg's iPhone movie Unsane. Tom Cruise and MI5, plus, all the practical effects. The foot and the nail of The Quiet Place Spielberg to speak at the Academy of Arts about Netflix and Amazon created movies and their eligibility for the coveted award. Our Spectacle crusader is here to preserve the sanctity of film but is he too late? Fighting for the sanctity of Hollywoods future credibility? Isn’t it acceptable to allow this medium to flourish as technology and the times change? Films available to a television audience first are not vetted enough for conservation by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The nostalgia of watching a movie in theatres remains a memorable experience. Watching films on phones and mobile devices. Comic book movies. The Irishman challenge by Netflix and a pure film enthusiast, Martin Scorsese. Great commercial spot dig. Touche Netflix. I need a definition of Best Picture The auteur in the realm of advocacy. Do awards matter? A win will get you more watches. Improve your status as a viable risk worth a studio taking a chance. Credibility goes a long way in this business. The sentiment that the creation is the best reward whether your audience is in the millions or the neighborhood few. Drake at the Grammys. Guillermo at the Oscars.
