Well it's Oscar Weekend, so here it goes. As always, I enjoyed hearing the winners of the Razzies announced this morning. I didn't see many of the nominees but it seemed odd that mother! was nominated for so many given its critical acclaim. It didn't "win" any. I was hoping Pirates 5 would because boy did that movie suck. The Emoji Movie took home the most Razzies including Worst Picture, Director, and Screenplay. Guess I should watch it now  . When will they start televising the Razzies? I would actually tune in for that. I want to hear the jokes on shitty movies. I want to see someone show up and accept their award and hear their speech. Sounds like it'd be hilarious. But instead they televise the vomit-inducing Oscar ceremony.
Speaking of which, guess I'll make some predictions:
Picture: The Shape of Water
Director: Guillermo del Toro
Actor: Gary Oldman
Actress: Frances McDormand
Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell
Supporting Actress: Allison Janney
How drunk I'll get if I actually watch it: Very

At first I thought Shape of Water was gonna win, but then I remembered that It wasn't nominated for the Screen Actor's Guild for Best Ensemble, this is important because only one film (Braveheart) has won best picture without a nomination for Best Ensemble at the SGAs. The most concerning thing about Billboards is it doesn't have a Best Director Nomination, but neither did Argo and that was a recent win so I'm going with TBOEM.

I know the oscars (and most awards) are a political scam but as a movie geek I still recognize their importance to most people who won one and I get happy for the winners.
I think it's pretty neat that Guillermo Del Toro is now the third Mexican in the last five years to win Best Director after Cuaron and back to back winner Inarritu. Not that I have any special ties to Mexico but they're all fantastic filmmakers.
Hello again Frances and Gary, who both made our top 5 actresses and actors of all time lists respectively. The supporting winners are both underrated hands who have been killing it for like 20 years.
Horror buff freakout moment. Peele!
And finally, DEAKINS!

O.K. so I never go down to the mall with the theater on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, for years because I thought every parking space would be full because that's how it was before, only I want down to the mall with the cinema on St. Patricks day (no less) and whole portions of the parking lot was empty. Yeah I know there's streaming but I think a bigger factor is all the budget cuts they're making (like the military budget cuts, only with movies and independent corporations). News flash
BUDGET CUTS DON"T WORK FOR ENTERTAINMENT, JUST LIKE THE MILITARY!
Sorry for shouting but a great load has been lifted off my chest...

Terrible argument. You said the the theater was in a shopping mall. Maybe other stores in the mall have closed, or seeing significantly less shoppers, and that's why the parking lot is emptier?
Also, how would cutting budgets lead to decreased attendance? Where is your evidence that they're even cutting budgets?

Well compare my 2000s Spiderman movie to the new one you've probably never heard of. My Spiderman movie is way cooler. Check out all the Green Goblin's awesome gear! The Lizard man sucks!
