It doesn't matter how many Oscars Blanchett has, the best person should win. And skin color shouldn't be a factor.

Driver’s mom and the dinosaurs’ moms are all named Martha. They all become best friends.

I saw old Twin Peaks, great series but I didn't like the new one.

Can we please stop turning everything into the diversity olympics.
It was a cool, fun, quirky movie, but in no way does her performance outdo Blanchett in Tar.
Can we rather encourage more Asian films to build off of EEAAO(and hopefully have many more future nominees) instead handing it a sympathy vote that no one truly feels satisfied with.

I mean what do you expect with their history with racism? They have always been obsessed with peoples skin color and ethnicity. They dont see what they are doing is racist. They truly think flipping the roles on who is suppressed and who is elevated based on their sex or ethnicity isn't still racist.

First blood
Also known as rambo. The ptsd based storyline is decades ahead of its time. His breakdown at the end is heartwrenching. His treatment by the police is very accurate and is just as relevant today. It's a shame rambo became war porn after the first one.

Hard to choose, I'd say Drunken Master 2, Wheels on Meals, Armour of God and Project A are his best films. When he teams up with Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung are when we see Jackie at his best.

> EEAAO will have nothing to stand on
Lol who’s upvoting this dumb take? “Nothing”to stand on. This is how I know you’re not even trying to be a little objective (yes, objectivity exists in art).
I’m saying this as someone who thinks Cate Blanchett should win and also like Tar a hair better than EEAAO, there’s obviously substance and emotional resonance in the film that you’re just flat out not acknowledging which doesn’t make you seem smart, it just makes you seem stubborn and narrowminded.
You overcorrected. OP is obnoxious and incorrect about Tar and you’re exactly like them except in the opposite direction. Also judging from your comment below, I don’t believe you know how blending comedy and drama works. A film can have funny scenes interwoven with scenes with dramatic weight. I’m not sure why you’re failing to reconcile the two considering real life is also rife with these moments and blends.

The animated movies don't really count when it comes to Jackie Chan 😊 He is mainly know for his physicality and inventive stunts/cinematography.

To me this is very reminiscent of the Chadwick Boseman v Anthony Hopkins race a few years ago, albeit under very different circumstances. Cate Blanchett should win and she will win. But that doesn’t mean Michelle Yeoh didn’t give an amazing performance.
I think your argument for unification being the sole reason she should win would really damage the little integrity the academy and these awards have left. MY deserves to be recognized for her brilliant work in that movie and she deserves to serve as an example of positive representation for a few different underrepresented demographics, but she is also imo a clear runner-up in this years race.
Side note, the academy loves a biopic and while i know Tàr is not, it is essentially the same idea.

That is true though to be fair. Career Oscar’s are a well established thing. Pretty much every year at least one of the acting awards doesn’t go to the best performance of the category.
