I can't help but feel like Green Book winning was the Academy telling "Film Twitter" to go **** itself..
Very true. And to be fair to the BP winner, while Linda Cardellini was given the normally thankless role of "supportive wife," I thought she gave a nice performance and her scenes with Viggo really added to the film.
With talk of how the academy award opens up opportunities for those behind it, what do people expect to happen with Peter Farrelly?
This was his first foray into drama, but leading up to it, him and his brothers comedy films were on the steady decline.
I enjoyed Green Book enough, but I don't feel like there's going to be a big contingent of people that are going to be anticipating his next release.
I think he may get a bit more opportunity to pitch his ideas to studios but probably still struggles to get a film made without a strong concept or star attached.
Didn't mean it like that, just meant that there are various social issues present in Roma that the Oscars usually lap up. It's not a movie designed to be "Oscar bait", it just features some qualities from those types of movies.How is Roma "PC oscar bait"? It's not overly sentimental and formulaic in the way that "oscar bait" movies typically are, and I don't see how it's politically correct, whatever that means in this context.

While his work behind the camera certainly leaves a lot to be desired, I think Farrelly could find a nice niche as a dramedy writer. Green Book was littered with funny moments, and well all know his history with comedies.
You mentioned that you feel black people can learn from this movie. I'm reluctant to jump into this thread but I'm trying to figure out what you feel this movie have to teach black people about race relations?
Agreed. Its critics wanted Green Book to be a different movie that told a different story, rather than appreciate the actual story it was telling. Green Book was, at its core, a story of the complex relationship between two very different men. The setting references America's racist history, but the story doesn't stop and settle there. It follows the arc of the two main characters, not the larger arc of American racial relationships. Those who wanted a history lesson should watch other films. This was a movie about friendship.
Fair enough!Didn't mean it like that, just meant that there are various social issues present in Roma that the Oscars usually lap up. It's not a movie designed to be "Oscar bait", it just features some qualities from those types of movies.
In case you missed it, here's the GOAT performance:

I love how woke media is in an uproar because everything didn’t go their way at the Oscars
What can I say but yikes?
2012 - The Artist
2003 - Chicago
I get the point but I hate it when they leave films out.
It must suck being Bradley Cooper's supermodel girlfriend and knowing that the whole world is cheering for Bradley to dump you for Gaga.
I would bet that that those results are fairly typical of films, in general.
