So I had heard about RRR when it got brought up on a couple random "best of" lists and it was on Netflix so I decided to give it a try.

I'd never actually seen a Bollywood/Tollywood movie before but I was familiar with the over the top-ness that's common and music and dance numbers.

I watched the first hour, and frankly was kind of bored. There were a couple of the crazy action sequences I was expecting but it felt like not much was happening and taking forever to get anywhere. I turned it off and went and did something else.

Couple days later was looking for something to watch and decided to fire RRR back up and give it a second chance picking up where I left off. Ten minutes later was the Naatu dance sequence. I was like, "Alright movie, that was a lot of fun, you got me back in" and then overall I will say I ultimately enjoyed the movie. I do think it's too long still, but yeah, overall solid film.

They really NAILED it.

> Do actors submit themselves as being eligible for nomination?

Studios do with consultation with actors, I imagine.

For example, Fox Searchlight submitted The Favourite's Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz for supporting and pushed Olivia Colman as lead so she would have a bigger shot at winning. Even though, arguably, Stone is the lead in the movie.

> It really can’t be because it’s religious based right?

This is precisely why no one gives a fuck.

Anything which lost to Crash.

yeah i think what's likely to happen is that nonbinary people and women would then just be pushed out all together anyway.

Emma Corrin and Emma D'arcy would be two nonbinary actors that could definitely be nominated in the future.

One of my favorite films, so quotable .

I always wonder why they don't just cater the dinner from the restaurant. The answer is so that Robin Williams can say " A woman is said to be worth her weight in hens. And a man's wealth is measured by the size of his cock."

wonderful analysis

That's really the only way the "oppressed" christians will go watch that kind of movie.

I know for a bit she went full environmental activist, I believe she even went to jail for it. In relation to the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Several females have won best director in the Oscars 90 year history.

If women don't get 51% of the trophies, they will complain.

Award shows aren't about equality. That's the point!

It will get more buzz when Jesus Reloaded is released.

The phantom menace, my second favorite star wars after IV

He was so fucking good in The Outsider

For a professional performance I don't think it would be too difficult to get some dancers out there to do it. If they don't they are seriously fucking up.

>As for non-binary actors, why not just nominate them in the category that’s best fitting for the character they’re portraying? There hasn’t even been a non-binary actor that I can think of that would ever even be up for an Oscar anyway, I don’t see why we should change nearly a hundred years of an awards category just for rare fringe circumstances.

That's essentially what they do. For a lot of awards non-binary actors can choose which category they want to be considered for.

E.g. Emma D'arcy from HotD was submitted for best actress awards in the Emmys, Golden Globes, etc.

Be the change you want to see.

Right now, from this post, I still don’t know much about it.

You left out his portrayal as God in "God: Serengeti". He nailed it.

Teaching Kids to embrace Fascism, using cute animated dogs.

I appreciate there being a "Christian movie" that's just a feel-good film that happens to involve the church, rather than a movie that lectures about why atheists are bad and ends with an atheist dying.

Really liked Mendelsohn in The Outsider. Didn't love the ending of the series, personally, but he was outstanding. Looking forward to him in another similar role.

Do actors submit themselves as being eligible for nomination? Or do academy members just vote for whoever they want? Because I was going to say, just let the actor choose which category they want to be included in.

It looks fun

If men and women were in the same category every year women would never win.
