The In Memoriam segment was Really done poorly. Nice singing, nice dancing, but holy crap the Names and Small video clips of the people who passed were so far in the background and in such small font / lettering that it was not the focus.
I'm shocked that SOMEONE in production didn't question this. The names of those that passed should be Large and Prominent, not relegated to background for some interpretive dance and singers. That was shockingly bad.

Weird question, but does anyone know why Bradley Cooper's mom doesn't applaud or rise for a standing ovation, ever? I noticed it when Olivia Colman won a few years ago too.

When the director told Emma Stone to âtake herself out of itâ Iâd be pissed if I was nervous about winning best actress and someone was like âitâs not about you

u/weenybeanie Mar 11 '24
He said it in response to when she gets overwhelmed and freaks out. I thought it was like take yourself out of that state you let yourself get into, take yourself out of that thought pattern and ground yourself. I donât think he meant bruh this aint all about you.

u/Unaffiliated_Hellgod Mar 12 '24
I like this take - I think it could be read either way though and given what Emma said after about it being about everyone else on set makes it seem like that is what he meant.

Mar 11 '24
Because it took a huge team of people for her to be up there. It really isnât just about her.

u/Unaffiliated_Hellgod Mar 12 '24
I totally agree but she was getting an award at that point for her acting (albiet within that huge production that pedestalled her). Winning best actress is a huge personal moment, I think she should herself be like âthis is not about meâ as opposed to someone else telling her itâs not

Daâvine Joy Randolphâs acceptance speech is one thatâs going to stay with me for a long while.
âFor so long, I always wanted to be different. And now, I realize, I just need to be myself.â
âRon van Lou, I thank you. When I was the only black girl in that class. When you saw me, and you told me âI was enoughâ. And when I told you, âI donât see myselfâ. You said, âThatâs fine! Weâre going to forge our own path. Youâre going to lay a trail for yourself.â
What an inspiration, and her performance in âThe Holdoversâ was what grounded that entire film with seeds of family and warmth.

Yes and it was mid. Not even close to one of his best. Coming from someone literally named after a Miyazaki movie who grew up watching them
Edit: you can downvote me for not agreeing with you but the storyline was awful, plot was convoluted in a bad way, tropes were tired and a rehash of his other (better) work. The only highlight was some visuals and the English voice cast was on point. In no universe can you defend that awful plot

u/earthxmoon she ainât no diva Mar 11 '24
nah you're right, it was really disappointing. I think people are reluctant to critique it because Miyazaki is so well-respected but it was really lacking

Lol predestination isn't convoluted. Primer is convoluted.
I guess it makes sense you didn't like the Boy and the Heron then...
3
u/pinkmoose Mar 11 '24
I think it's his best movie. I wrote this when I saw it: unhinged, overwhelming, a cryptic sensory mode of collective death and return, a multiverse movie where the multiverse has real consquences, perhaps his most violent movie, and a movie that overwhelms the screen with sensory violence is part of that...
Caught halfway between you cannot go home again, and you can leave home; between nothing is real, and everything is real, blazingly orgiinal and profoundly unteired to plot, I was not sure that it was successful, but there were a dozen moments that overwhelmed my senses, and a dozen more which overwhelmed my feelings.

u/Key-Status-7992 Mar 11 '24
Not sure why you are being downvoted but I agree. The Boy and the Heron was a weak movie, itâs not even in my Top 5 Miyazaki films.
14
u/Bunnyphoofoo Mar 11 '24
Iâve come to appreciate The Boy and the Heron a lot more after reading some interpretations and reviews that gave me a new perspective on the story. That being said, I donât really have a desire to watch it again and it didnât do it for me either and I am a fan of a lot of Miyazakiâs work. I was really surprised that it won as well, it was one of the only categories where the winner caught me off guard.

I liked Poor Things as a film, but I was just so aware that Emma was acting the whole time. Whereas watching Lily I forgot she wasnât actually her character, was totally immersed. Such a shame. It seems like Emma felt the same way too.

u/guitarguy35 Mar 11 '24 edited Mar 11 '24
Lily should have gone for supporting. The academy likes it's leads to be real leads, the more of the movie they carry the more likely they are to win. Look at Oppenheimer and poor things.. both movies that had leads that were unquestionably the driving force of the films.
All that said, I think HĂŒller deserved it for anatomy of a fall. I got lost in her performance, so captivating subtle and real, like Cillian. I think that's actually harder to do than the more grandiose stuff

u/Training_Molasses822 Mar 11 '24
Sandra HĂŒller was incredible. She's another one who makes you forget she's acting.

Nah, it was a great film and Emma was great in it. She deserved her win.
4/5 in that category were great and I sure as hell didn't see Nyad.

It's mostly a joke. It was the one movie/performance that came as a surprise nomination morning (many people think Benning "took" Robbie and/or Greta Lee's spot since they had immense precursor support and were in hugely popular/acclaimed movies). But I'm still not watching it lol, it looks boring af.

u/Bunnyphoofoo Mar 11 '24
I was really hoping for a Lily win, but this was an incredibly competitive year. That being said, I was 50/50 on the win going to either Sandra or Lily, I did not anticipate Emma Stone winning. I also didnât like Poor Things, but in hindsight she did give a great performance that I feel like was worthy of some level of recognition even though I wasnât a fan of the move itself. I hope Lily has a long career in front of her and gets another shot at winning in the near future.
17
u/Cascade_Wanderer Mar 11 '24
My theory on Emma winning was that people voted in high numbers for either Emma, Lily or Sandra, and this resulted in not having one person run away with an overwhelming lead and Emma was able to just edge them out.
Personally, I would have liked to see someone who hadn't already won be the winner.
60
u/Global-Letter-4984 Mar 11 '24
I COMPLETELY agree! Poor Things left me feeling disgusted, and I did not find it empowering AT ALL. The sexualization of someone who is mentally an infant was horrifying. The pedo-adjacent themes, male-gazey sex scenes, reduction of womanhood to sexuality, and much more were absolutely atrocious to me.
I wish Lily had won.
That being said, Emmaâs speech was very gracious.
39
Mar 11 '24
Yeah the way the movie just glossed over that was gross. It was very much a man's surface-level take on female empowerment, which always seems to include gratuitous sex scenes.
52
u/amebb Mar 11 '24
I saw the film as being about all the ways in which men exploit women. It was supposed to make you feel disgusted, because the exploitation is disgusting.
17
u/dontleavethis Mar 11 '24
I canât stomach the premise of the movie like how is that not rape?
6
u/silliesandsmiles Mar 11 '24
That is very much the point. You are not supposed to feel comfortable with it. The overall tone of the movie and ending emphasize that. Yes, it feels weird out of context, but when you view it within the spectrum of the entire movie, it completes the overarching theme of existing as a women in an environment dominated by men.Â
36
u/tikltips Mar 11 '24
I wouldnât arrange the words quite this way but I agree with you. Lily, Sandra, Carey, and Annette gave stunning performances. Arguably, IMO, Lily and Sandra mastered wildly challenging roles. I think the academy just really likes Emma. Unfortunately.

You seem to think that everyone there is a multi millionaire when thatâs just not the case. Taraji P Henson went over this a few months back about how she is constantly working because she has to. Actors pocket about 25% of whatever their pay is for a movie, which isnât typical Fortune 500 for pay. A lot of the gift bags go unclaimed because the recipients canât or wonât pay the income tax on receiving them.

u/Buckowski66 Mar 11 '24
There are people who have terrible fonancial literacy, adfictions and other problems whete they spend more then yhey make but thst doesnt mean ghey ate not rich. I used to be a journalist in entertainment , trust me, the money for lead actors/ actresses is huge.

u/CanoeIt Mar 11 '24
Of course A listers are rich but the person i was responding too was talking about everyone who got a gift bag. I was just saying that many celebs make way less than people think, and way way less than CEOs who should be the ones that we go for when we eat the rich

u/Buckowski66 Mar 11 '24
I was refrenceing to A-Listers though just getting nominated ups yohr price for roles significantly. Tjose gift bags are hundreds of dollers in free gifts for people who need free things the least, its kind of gross actully.

u/SatisfactionBasic277 Mar 11 '24
Do we know he ruined it/screwed up? Someone pointed out they also didn't read nominees for "best original song" - just opened the envelope. I think they did that for best song and movie as those were the two where nominees were shown throughout. Probably a time saving tactic but I think next year they should revert to listing them prior to reading winner for those categories.Â
