Nice to see so much KotFM love.

It's still so wild to me that France didn't submit Anatomy of a Fall for the Oscar, it has won basically every International Film award I've seen so far this year. Don't get me wrong, I love their actual nominated film, but I don't know if it's gonna connect in the same way this one has, which makes me wonder what will end up winning the award.

Now that I've seen Maestro, I am gonna be mad if it wins any big awards at all. Carey Mulligan was really the only good part, imo. Wtf is an "Icon" award?

I really want to see Anatomy of a Fall (it only played at my local arthouse theater for a couple of showings so I'm hoping it hits VOD soon), but I cannot wait for The Taste of Things. Based on the description it's like it was made just for me.

It's so good!!! Not to be corny, but it's a real feast for the eyes.

Hope you get the chance to see them both soon!

maestro is one of those movies where the further i get away from it, the more i just really dislike it lol. i agree about carey mulligan, i think she does sooo much of the heavy lifting acting-wise because i don't think cooper gives her a lot to work with (both acting and writing-wise).

How does Killers of the Flower Moon win Best Film but not make the Top Films list? Is there some weird NBR loophole...

The inclusion of The Iron Claw is promising and I'm happy to see The Holdovers get so much love! Is Da'Vine Joy Randolph the BSA frontrunner? She should be.

NBR names Top Ten Films

Killers of the Flower Moon is their top choice. Only 9 other films are listed below that.

Omg duh 🥴

Thank you for ELI5!

Yes, she’s the front runner - the other names people were floating around as front runners were Danielle Brooks and Taraji P. Henson for The Color Purple but that movie has not been getting nominated for these critics awards making Da’Vine’s chances look even better. So happy for her!

Heron is pretty surrealist, so it's very YMMV, but it seems kind of odd that multiple supposed bodies that are supposed to think and be open to the different ways movies are supposed to be portrayed don't seem to like it. Like Spider-Verse has swept every minor critics association i've seen in the category.

i'm happy lily gladstone submitted in lead actress and has immediately shown she's absolutely win competitive for the oscar there. even if she's not as dominant going forward, watching her and da'vine joy randolph pretty much sweep the early critics awards has been fun. they'd both be great oscar winners.

can someone less lazy than i am tell me or link to site that tells me where i can stream everything (legally!)

i know where to find killers of the flower moon, i can probably find out where john wick is, and i've seen barbie and the new spiderverse movie. i feel like the others are still only in theaters or on VOD for $19.99, and I do not want to spend 20 bucks to rent a movie at home. like, that's what i would spend on a blu-ray. if i'm going to spend that much, i want it to be physical media and i want to know if it's something i like enough to rewatch.

I paid for letterboxd which shows where all the films are streaming and you can also change it so it displays movies on your list that are on the streaming services you have.

Technically, Google is free, but a lot of times I would see services that I have, but it was an optional add-on or available to rent, and I got pissed off too many times to keep doing that.
