jeez that supernatural thriller w/ B Cooper and him was pitiful

The thing that pisses me off the most about Argo is that I don't hate it and it would be a significantly better winner than the previous two piles of shit.

Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Saturday, 23 February 2013 04:39 (eleven years ago) link

“Supporting Actor this year is interesting,” opines one studio chief. “Harvey practically got De Niro to wash cars on Santa Monica Boulevard.” Adds the first consultant, “De Niro hasn’t done much glad-handing and personal appearances in his career. But this guy, for a supporting role, is everywhere — including that Hollywood International Film Festival. On Goodfellas, he was nowhere to be seen. I remember studio publicists were driven to drink over his nonchalance.”

Notes the head of marketing at another studio without skin in the Best Actor race, “Daniel Day-Lewis is going to win no matter what, but he also campaigned more than he ever has before. He was out here a lot — I’ve never seen him doing it before — probably because it’s such a tough field of competitors, you know?”

Humility — even false humility, given the outsize egos of so many male Academy members — is essential. Says our first consultant, "I was working with an Oscar-nominated actress recently, and she told me she went to the Sorbonne ... I was like, 'Wow! That's a great nugget — we should use that in interviews and press materials,' and she was immediately like, 'Whatever you do, do not tell people I went to the Sorbonne!' And she was right: This is a town that doesn’t appreciate or reward smart women … It probably hurt Sharon Stone’s career immeasurably when she claimed she was in MENSA."

Don't watch much TV and have not been following this race, but has DDL been out and about? He seems the guy most likely to show up with a giant beard down to his knees, if he shows up at all.

Oh, wait, a few xposts above I guess it says he has been visible. Is he all shaggy?

Was listening to Fresh Air interview Ben Affleck, then turned down the radio when I picked up my Shamrock Shake at the drive-thru. Then I turned it up again a minute later and listened til the end. Was not until the last minute that I realized the interview had switched subjects from Affleck to Bradley Cooper. I could not tell the difference, from voice down to demeanor.

ftr the Sorbonne is not a prestigious school in France

iatee, Sunday, 24 February 2013 21:29 (eleven years ago) link

School of Sorbonne like the School of Hard Knocks?

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 24 February 2013 21:48 (eleven years ago) link

Would Sorbonne.

This is sort of fun if you try to name them before they come up on the screen (you've got a second between films--I got most of them from the late '50s through to 1981):

no joy with a possible stream for the actual show so far

Normally I don't endorse such things, but I wouldn't mind if Robert Blake jumped out of the bushes and roughed up Piers Morgan a bit.

Annual tradition of watching the red carpet with the kids, who are wide-eyed, perplexed and captivated in equal measure. "Why is she wearing that? That's ugly. That's pretty. He's handsome. I don't like his hair. Is this a commercial?" Etc.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 25 February 2013 00:47 (eleven years ago) link

I lasted 2 minutes and went back to Gilmore Girls. The inane chatter makes me want to kill myself

Are you getting Kristin Chenowith over there too? She's squawking and gushing over everyone here and is really annoying me. Amanda Seyfried looked like she wanted to punch her in the face.

ailsa, Monday, 25 February 2013 00:51 (eleven years ago) link

Oh man, my five year old just summed up the red carpet as (and I quote): "Hey hey, come here and let me give you a complement!"

The inane chatter makes me want to kill myself

Ditto--an interest that's hard-wired into me, mixed in with revulsion. I want to put on a DVD, but switching back and forth is somewhat cumbersome.

clemenza, Monday, 25 February 2013 00:56 (eleven years ago) link

it's not bad on mute. twitter sorta keeps you abreast if someone says something of interest.

If De Niro wins, it's over.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 25 February 2013 01:29 (eleven years ago) link

TLJ takes that one. He's the only other one who hasn't won in forever and he mostly hasn't shit away the last 15 years.
