He got a little political, barely worth mentioning, but then he turned the speech around and it was cool, then that Once Upon a Time In Hollywood line was a little eh but I guess it's better to be rehersed than not rehearsed. Good for him getting an Oscar though.
shareIt was rare to have a category with two no-shows - neither Pesci nor Hopkins is there.
Pitt joins Hanks as a two-time Oscar-winner among the supporting actor line-up.
While I thought it was a very good role for him, he was clearly a lead in OUATIH. It always irritates me when leading roles are pushed into supporting to open an easier path to the win, denying genuine supporting actors a chance.
I agree. It’s an easy way to promote the film and squeeze an award for and out of the rest.
shareYes and it’s routine now, sadly. The supporting categories were created for character actors to have their moment. I’m happy Laura Dern won for a genuine supporting role but Pitt’s win irks me.
shareIm glad Scarlett didnt win an anything and as much as I like Dern for this role I thought was bit small and the movie sucks. I was hoping for Charlize in the whole category though I generally like all the actresses.
In supporting I think Peaci shouldve won followed by Al. The fact that they both Lost to Pitt playing himself is bs.
I liked Marriage Story.
I thought Pesci towered in the category, possibly his best-ever work. I wasn’t so big on Pacino, who to me was just doing his usual SHOUTY schtick. All the same, it was nice for him to have this moment after so long.
Marriage story doesnt seem like an oscar film to me. Especially with so many nominations.
That’s big given Pesci has so many big roles.
Big deal. Trump is political every day of his presidency. He has the right to be and so does Pitt. Get over it.
shareTrump is in politics. Pitt is an actor and at an awards show for movies so you would hope he would have enough to talk about in that area alone.
What does he know about corruption in the Ukraine too? Right. Nothing.
Trump made political statements when he wasn't in politics too. Just because you agree with Trump's ideology, that doesn't mean that Trump can make statements, but Pitt can't. You Republicans always want to shut up anyone with differing opinions.
shareSorry we were talking about the inappropriateness of political opinion at the Academy awards which is supposed to be a night about the films and movie industry. Given your obvious biases , you would be going apoplectic if Clint Eastwood wore a MAGA hat lol.
shareJesus Christ, the Oscars have been political for years. Nothing new. If you don't like it, don't watch. I don't like Trump's tweeting, so I don't read them. FFS.
shareAnd it again is stupid and misplaced past or present regardless of their particular stripe or beef. If you can't see that that is your problem. Not my fault some are grandstanding fools abusing their platform and the viewers shouldn't adjust their viewing to cater to them either FFS
shareThe Thing about Liberals they can talk about there politics but you cant talk about yours that is gatekeeping this from a Libertarian
shareHe wasn't very good at it, either. Didn't sound like a properly angry Lefty to me. I think he was just trying the words out.
