Also, did you know most people assumed the original Star Wars flopped critically? I did, until I looked it up and it was nominated for TEN Oscars, including Best Pic! WTF!
I remember you telling me that! I am coming to the conclusion that popular reception is the worst form of historical memory.
I was really pulling for Margot Robbie in I Tonya altho I haven't seen the entire film yet. But in fine Oscar tradition I kind of really wanted her to win because she wasn't nominated for her Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad.
Legit!
(Is that what happened with Gary Oldman? I didn't understand his nomination and I don't understand his win. Playing Winston Churchill is like its own subgenre by now. The New Yorker and the New York Review of Books each had entire articles about this phenomenon!)
I thiiiiiink she doesn't die at the end? Hopefully?
I do not believe the protagonist of A Fantastic Woman dies. I am fairly confident I'd have seen it mentioned if she did. I suspect I will even try to watch the movie at some point. I just have a limited capacity for emotionally brutal, however beautiful, right now.
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala won for Best Adapted with Room but it lost Best Pic to Platoon and Best Director to Oliver Stone. AUGH. (Stone lost Best Original to Woody Allen, hah.) Maurice got ONE nom for Best Costume Design and lost to The Last Emperor.
*RASPBERRY*
Whaaaa? No, didn't she win one for Vagabond? I was sure she did because that was how I got into her. I remember watching it on Bravo in the eighties.
Varda has never won an Oscar unless you count her honorary award last year. This is, I believe the technical term is, bullshit.
