ITV for the first time at 2230. I hope it’s a good one. I still miss Joan live on the red carpet☹️. I’m just watching Poor Thing then I think I’ve seen most of the nominations. I hope Oppenheimer doesn’t sweep the board. I liked it but I don’t like it when one film dominates.

Always felt for RDJ. His past. Similar to drew Barrymore really. So glad he made a comeback.

Ramalangadingdong · 11/03/2024 00:40

RDJ's dad got him hooked on drugs when he was a kid. He's done brilliantly.

I agreed with the comments about Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Ken. That’s just based on watching “I’m Just Ken” far too many times as I haven’t seen the film.

I’m staying up until he sings it on the programme, so it will probably be near the end…

That was a great speech. Very switched on and self aware. Feeling a bit of tension from Christopher Nolan.

I didn’t know that. Why? Was it so he could work?

Dostadning · 11/03/2024 00:43

Yes, I wonder why. He thanked Chris.
I think RDJ deserves one as he was robbed for Chaplin. Al Pacino's Hee Haw Scent of a Woman beat him with a quite hammy performance.

I think he's dad was just some kind of bohemian who loved drugs.

God yes it was very hammy wasn't it. Wouldn't watch it now but would happily watch Chaplin.

His dad worked in the movie industry. So, RDJ was around all the parties etc.

That is a travesty. He was fantastic as Chaplin. I hate AP's performance in SOW.

I loved him in Wonderboys and Kiss kiss bang bang too, although he was nominated for neither. Ryan Gosling in the Nice Guys (Shane Black again) was amazing. He's been good in so many roles. His Oscar time will surely come.

Chaplin's an amazing film. I saw him in an interview and he said he was so high, he can't remember even filming it!
Fun fact ... Charlie Chaplin's grand daughter plays her grandmother in the film.

Wonderboys is one of my favourite films. Yes, he was fantastic in that.

I think he thanked Chris, as he directed the joker, which heath ledger won the oscar for, robbing RDJ of winning.

Wow, that's incredible. Probably the only point they could have that kind of crossover (wrt early days of film).

The man on the right of the Godzilla team looks very young.

I know. I love that fact. She's called oona Chaplin. A British actress. Has been something recently but can't remember what it was. But she was good.

HauntedBungalow · 11/03/2024 00:52

Editing? I don't think I've seen a single film this year that was shorter than half a bloody day's work.

Which means can you imagine how long they were in the first place! 😲.
We'll have to take a day off work to watch them soon.

More recent. I'm going to have to find it, as it's annoying.

burnoutbabe · 11/03/2024 00:55

Being over 50 now and seeing clots of these at the cinema recently m, I had to take a wee break in most of them!

Thackeray goodness flowers and Oppenheimer were seen at home.

HauntedBungalow · 11/03/2024 00:55

Well this song is quite shit. Why didn't he sing in tune?

It really is shit. The same line repeated over and over with a woohoo in between each repetition.
