Did You Watch the Oscars? Me, Either. 2014-03-04, 11:15:52 For starters, I don't see enough movies to care about awards. Then there's the issue of noisome glamour nonsense. Who wore whose gown? Who did the starlet's hair? Was Brad with Angelina? Who made the best documentary? Who did blah, blah, blah, and on and on?What are your thoughts on the matter?
Movie Awards Reply #1 – 2014-03-04, 11:25:49 If you rename the thread to "Movie Awards", it'll be fine, etc.On 'movie awards', I watch movies, but about awards I occasionally learn via the radio. For example, I heard about last year's "Gravity", and this year's "12 years a slave" is also not a secret to me.

Re: Did You Watch the Oscars? Me, Either. Reply #3 – 2014-03-07, 10:02:52 I sympathise to a degree with jimbro. For me it is just a load of actors who are so full of themselves and have never taken to these personality cults. Never watch them. Must try my new walking boots as more enjoyable all round.

Re: Did You Watch the Oscars? Me, Either. Reply #7 – 2025-02-02, 09:59:00 "Flow" from Latvia has been nominated for best foreign movie and best animation. People say good things about it.I myself recently watched the pope movie, Conclave, which was a bit of a disappointment. It was set up as a thriller, i.e. old men in red capes going through a voting procedure with a thrillerish musical score in the background. There were some bedroom/dorm scenes where the director decidedly missed all the opportunities to show the red socks of the cardinals. There were a number of intrigues appearing at regular intervals in a deus ex machina plot device manner, and they were kind of muted to make the story (originally a novel) safe. I find regular news about Roman Catholic Church much spicier than the supposed intrigues in the movie. There were some good roles though, especially the guy who played the dead pope. 1 Likes
