DCUM is very conservative. Not politically, but socially a ton of hall monitor types who are quick to clutch their pearls.

NP and I really don’t care about nudity in movies. But the Oscars are constantly rewarding women for playing sex workers. It’s like they think they are so liberal but it is the opposite.

If you want to win an Oscar, make a film about (1) Hollywood itself, (2) the Holocaust, or (3) sex workers. If you can combine all three, even better.

Gee, I wonder who is voting in the Academy?

Even Demi Moore was shocked she lost to this mediocre film. It’s this decade’s Crash.

+1

It was the same with Lily Gladstone losing to Emma Stone last year. One performance was really subdued and nuanced and restrained but still showed the emotional weight of what was going on. The other she either acted like a toddler or was having sex. It was a no brainer to me but not Hollywood.

Some are a stretch but the point is valid

Who is the former heroin addict?

The director, Sean Baker. He recovered from his heroin addiction and then proceeded to make film after film about sex workers. In Anora, he cast Mikey Madison, then in her early 20s, to strip and perform graphic sex scenes and gyrations nude without an intimacy coordinator. For this they are both rewarded by the entertainment industry.

Maybe it's his redemption but what a message that sends to young actresses. Meanwhile better performances were overlooked.

Madison was offered and declined an intimacy coordinator.

Yes, it’s true that the director let Madison decide whether she wanted an intimacy coordinator or not. But I also think that as a 25 year old trying to turn in the “raw” performance her director clearly wanted, was not really in a position to say she wanted one even if she really did. That’s a power imbalance there.

I mean, do you have any proof of this? If you don’t have any inside information then it’s just your opinion.

You can search for yourself about the interviews the director and Madison have given about the film. They are proud about the “rawness” of the film because it didn’t have an intimacy coordinator. And yes, I think it’s a power imbalance.

There’s also the fact that the director makes all his movies about sex workers and follows loads of OF women on his instagram. He seems like a bit of a red flag.

He finalized the finalized the screenplay for Mikey after watching scream and once upon a time in Hollywood and referred to her as a "sexy teenager." There was a huge power imbalance imo as well. There should have been an IC not only for Mikey sake but other's as well.

You prudes are basically the only ones saying this.

You don’t read Reddit, obviously.

God, no. Why would anyone?

I love how the concept is so gaspworthy to you yet you waste your time in this cesspool.

Well, apparently you spend your time in both places, so what does that say about you?

That I enjoy reading idiotic comments and calling out jackasses like you?

Is this it for Demi and a chance at an Oscar?

I think Demi succeeded at getting back on the radar and will hopefully get other big roles now that she’s demonstrated she still has a fan base and can act.

There’s no reason to trot out Nicole Kidman or British actresses when Demi is here.

Demi can't hold a candle to British actresses like Kate Winslet, Emma Thomson, Judi Dench, etc. or to Nicole Kidman. I like her, but she's not a great actress. She happened to get a really good role, but she might not get another.

Emma and Judi are old…and look old. They can play old ladies.

Nicole has destroyed her face and is in too many projects.

I say give Demi another role. She’s still vibrant and a decent actress. Surely she will find another movie?

I am sick of Nicole Kidman and her face is weird. Demi could do a lot of the roles that Nic is getting. Demi is great as sort of an intense power broker type woman — cast her as a political ladder climber, a cut throat law firm partner, etc. I think she’s much better than Nic on those sorts of roles. She’s got that cut through you stare and can deliver rapid fire dialogue. She also can deliver a comic line decently well. I don’t think she has the largest range in the world but she is great with certain types of roles.

Fwiw, just like Demy Moore's plastic surgery worked well for The Substance, Nicole Kidman's plastic surgery worked well for Babygirl. She was a control freak who got botox on screen.

It's also part of why Pam Anderson was good in The Last Showgirl (Jamie Lee Curtis was good in that too).

I mean…..everyone there, from Conan the host -> Adam Sandler even (!) were excited that he was there - I mean currently he IS a pretty big deal right now.

He could have anyone > yet he chooses to date a talentless reality star who runs a beauty business that sells very subpar beauty products.

I have no issue w/Kylie as a person or as a celebrity, I just do not see her in the echelon of A-list Hollywood.

At least Kylie look nice for the Oscars. Her boyfriend (who I do find charming) looked like a 21 year old dressed as a highlighter.

She doesn’t look nice. I find her painful to look at - a completely plastic face and tasteless clothing. It’s really sad how much work all of the Kardashians have had done. And Kylie at such a young age to boot.

I agree. It's too much and too young.



I do think it's interesting when there are some pics you can kind of see her original self. This was one:



Glimmers of the original face:

It is just amazing how completely different she looks after surgery.

Why? Tom Holland seems like a much nicer, more interesting guy.

NP. I agree that Tom Holland is probably much nicer, but imo he’s decidedly less interesting.

Zendaya is also uninteresting, which is why she and Tom are a good match.

How many Oscar-winning films have you directed? Oh, that’s right, none. So no one who’s anyone cares what you think.
