But the big question is... What event will keep Totallympians up next sunday? :lol:

 

 

 

Well this did not keep me up at all, because in the morning after the Oscars I just go to WIkipedia and see who won what and be like "Oh, cool...never heard of him/her, no idea who that is...what's this movie?" :p 

 

Nothing keeping me up last night, but full-power for the Daytona 500 next Sunday :d I guess I'm more or less the only one though, so it doesn't much count.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Me neither (going through the main performances right now), but at least 2 Europeans did. That counts :p

Yeah, Parasite >>> Snowpiercer. :p

Not sure I actually agree with that...

Parasite is not one of your all-time favourite movies? :yikes:

Oh for sure it is. Snowpiercer is one of the few films who’s plots I can remember because it was so shocking. Both are good, but hard to compare because they’re so different. I’d say they’re equal or close to equal.

Just like last year, I correctly predicted 19 out of 24 categories and, again, I missed Best Picture - at least here... but on the GoldDerby contest I changed to Parasite hours before the ceremony and got 20/24 right, for a position of 841 among 10.257 people - not that great, but not terrible. I'm mad I changed to Klaus in Animated Film when I had Toy Story 4 all along :wall:

To me, Toy Story 4 was the biggest sin this year. It’s so undeserved, and only feeds Disney/Pixar ego.

I get a feeling Oscars are going to the mainstream actors for a while now. I remember back in the 90s there was always at least one winner whom I didn't know who that is. Now it's mainstream like hell. Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix, Renee Zellweger & Laura Dern is total rich are getting richer kind of stuff. Laura Dern was off the wall after Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart 30 years ago but man, even that kind of cinema noir is gone. Dare I say this very much changed after Di Caprio started to whore up his quest for Oscars.

 

I'm really old school but 'Clay Pigeons' remains the best movie for Joaquin Phoenix & Vince Vaughn who has gone all mainstream few years ago too.
