[Ms Harmless]

New Cloverfield sequel in the works. JJ producing. Joe Barton (The Ritual; showrunner for HBO Max's 'Gotham P.D.') will write the script.

I'd be so much more interested in this if I thought they could match 10 Cloverfield Lane

[E.H. Ruddock]

Idk I liked the prequel they did

[BurtReynolds]

Blue Sky Studios is dead. 450 laid off.

Good.

Now I'll never know how the Ice Age saga ends.

Eventually it melts

[epilogue]

Ma Rainey got slighted. Should have several more noms including Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture.

[epilogue]

Also, why is Borat adapted screenplay? What's it adapted from?

[The Argonaut]

Characters from the TV show, I suppose

I guess?

Seems like a stretch.

I think the definition of adapted is very broad. Before Midnight was nominated in the adapted category because it's based on characters from Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Toy Story 3 was nominated as adapted because it's a sequel. Original really means original

[The Argonaut]

O Brother, Where Art Thou was nominated in adapted because it is based on The Odyssey, lol

[VinylGuy]

pretty boring stuff

[Mickey]

Glad to see Sound of Metal get a BP nom. I liked that one a hell of a lot better than Nomadland and Chicago Seven.

less narrative, more affect-driven?

No

[The Argonaut]

I've only seen Borat, Another Round, and Promising Young Woman. I'm looking forward to both Judas & the Black Messiah and Minari. And I'll eventually get around to watching Mank, Nomadland, Chicago 7, and some others. Is what it is

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
