The Oscars 2021

He was the best thing in A bridge too far as a relative unknown against Hollywood's A list.

Remains of the day, Shadowlands, Howard's end, The elephant man, superb. The fastest Indian alive is brilliant.


Erra he thought Silence of the lambs was dogshit until it started getting awards buzz.

A great actor on form with a tremendous career that will be watched long after he is gone.


The Father? A lame, gimmicky , oscar baiting show that won't ever get a second viewing.
 
He had a good run.
I think some writer's guess at what it is like to experience dementia is insulting to all concerned.


Classic Oscar bait.



Has peoples intelligence just plummeted that a dud like Nomadland that ticks suicide and terminal cancer inside 40 mims can walk away with best picture?


Stick it next to Argo , Spotlight and Birdman in terms of utter garbage that no one will ever watch again.



Only a club that could pick Forrest Gump over Pulp Fiction could deliver such a turd.

Spot on, Pulp Fiction is iconic, soundtrack is savage. Never got through Forrest Gump, a turd if ever there was one.

Dune should walk the technical awards.


Will reserve judgement until I see Licorice Pizza, got hardly any run in Cork.

The rest range from mediocre to shite, Dune was alright but totally uninvolving.
