Oscar

Days after a news report alleged that the Oscars Best Cheer Moment win for Zack Snyder’s Justice League may have been rigged, the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences has defended the result. This year, the Academy Awards introduced two new categories that were adjudged not by the jury but by fans through online voting on Twitter. A scene from Zack Snyder’s Justice League won the Best Cheer Moment award by amassing the maximum votes. On Friday, a news report that analysed the hashtags for the voting claimed…

The Academy Awards have been fighting low viewership for years and in 2022 attempted to do several different things in order to potentially boost interest. One of those things was to set up a couple of fan polls so that “normal” movie watchers could vote for their favorite moments. Those polls certainly succeeded in showing a disconnect between Oscar winners and other fans, as both polls were won by Zack Snyder movies that were not nominated for other awards. But it seems there is a question as to how many actual people…

It might sound obvious, but a film getting nominated for an Oscar doesn’t automatically make it good.In fact, there have been numerous deserving films over the years that were somehow overlooked by the Academy.Sure, it’s easy to assume that certain films don’t get nominated because they’re not what Oscar voters would usually go for, but there have been some surprises in the past.For example, pretty much every new superhero film earns a nomination thanks to the technical or makeup categories, while random animated films…

With an almighty clang, Jane Campion has hit that tipping point at which the awards-season groupthink clusters around one particular movie. Her western psychodrama The Power of the Dog leads the tally list with a whopping 12 nominations. It is about a toxically dysfunctional confrontation between a rancher played by Benedict Cumberbatch in 1920s Montana and his sister-in-law, played by Kirsten Dunst, brother played by Jesse Plemons and his brother’s sensitive stepson played by Kodi Smit-McPhee.Clearly, the Academy has…

Moon Knight — premiering Wednesday on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — is a markedly different take on the mentally-troubled character than what comic fans are familiar with. For one, Moon Knight's anti-hero traits are stressed upon more on the Marvel series. Moon Knight is not quite Batman but with dissociative identity disorder, as the character has oft been described. It's more what if the Punisher meets Wolverine meets DID. In the comics, Moon Knight's Batman comparisons stemmed from the fact that they both had no…

Moon Knight episode 1 — out now on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — is a weird and disjointed introduction to one of Marvel comics' weirdest and disjointed characters. Even the first episode's action happens in spurts, with the protagonist Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) blanking out at key moments. As the end of Moon Knight episode 1 reveals, that's because Steven isn't one person. He shares his body with Marc Spector who is described as a mercenary once and is completely unlike Steven. It's classic dissociative identity…
