How much personal life should be considered in Lifetime Achievement Awards?

For instance, Jackie Chan has an unbelievable film career and was (arguably) the most important figure to cross over Asian and Western cinema for the masses. That definitely accounts for a lifetime achievement award, in terms of his contributions to film.

But there's been tons of allegations of him being a puppet of the CCP, his children have been vocal of having negative relationships with him, cheating on his wife.

Should the personal side of a filmmaker's life be weighed when choosing them to honor with a major award?

What would you say was your luckiest year at the Oscars since you started follow them?

I started to follow them in 2014 (well technically in 2015 for movies of 2014) and I'd say my most successful year was last ceremony. Almost every person I wanted to win won. Not all of my wishes came true but most of them did

Best Orginial Song vs Best Actor in Oscars 2024

I will choose What I was Made by Billie Ellish because this song was made me emotional at that night giving me going back to my childhood days! I like Cillian Murphy winning the Best Actor!

Would Logan have been more successful at the Oscars had it gotten a more optimal release date?

I have a feeling like it’s possible. Logan getting nominated for Adapted Screenplay is no small feat. They were definitely shooting for it, but the momentum for high-concept movies seemed to be centered around Get Out and The Shape of Water, the former of which even came out earlier than Logan. I’m not sure if Logan would have beaten Black Panther to become the first superhero movie nominated for Best Picture, but I do think that, had it swapped release dates with Thor Ragnarok for example, it would have been able to sneak in a few other categories. Maybe a few BTL slots, or even Supporting Actor for Patrick Stewart.

6 of My Most Anticipated Venice 2024 Titles

I decided to list six of the titles I'm most looking forward to at the upcoming Venice Film Festival that's around the corner. This is my list, so keep that in mind, but how many titles from this year's fest do you think have a chance at the Oscars? My money is probably on Joker Folie a Deux, The Room Next Door, and The Brutalist. Let me know if some more under-the-radar titles have a chance. Due to the strikes, this looks like a weaker lineup but Venice seems to be a constant in the race. Will that change this year?

It's crazy how there was no sci-fi acting winner until the last two years, and then we had two back-to-back.

Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All At Once and Emma Stone for Poor Things.

Oscar winners in Coen Brothers movies

So I realized recently that The Big Lebowski features three actors who would go on to win Best Actor/Actress Oscars. Jeff Bridges, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julianne Moore.

So I posed this to my sister as a trivia question: name a cult comedy from the 90’s that features 3 future Best Actor/Actress winners. Her answer: Raising Arizona. Nic Cage, Holly Hunter, Frances McDormand.

I thought it was pretty cool that this is true of TWO of their movies.

Coda: I joked to my sister that the same was probably true of Burn After Reading. Then I realized: JK Simmons, Brad Pitt (though he only won supporting) & Frances McDormand. Notably Frances McDormand won two Best Actress awards after these movies were released.

PS Tilda Swinton is another Oscar winner from Burn After Reading, but I’m pretty sure she had already won hers by the time this came out.
