#academy-award — Public Fediverse posts

Quando ad #EnnioMorricone venne mostrato il primo montaggio del #film per proporgli la realizzazione della colonna sonora, il Maestro si tirò indietro, convinto che non potesse aggiungere nulla alla forza delle immagini. Poi accettò l'offerta e questa fu una delle tante occasioni in cui l'#AcademyAward perse l'opportunità di premiarlo. Veniva presentato al #CannesFilmFestival il 16 maggio 1986 "Mission" (ITA) - Invidious https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=HMq0yX0LNjw

"According to The Irish Times, the number of American citizens seeking asylum in Ireland has increased more than four-fold since 2024, and nearly 10,000 Americans moved to Ireland in the 12-month period ending April 2025."

"Irish pop culture may be particularly appealing in 2026 because it doesn’t come with the same geopolitical baggage as the equivalent from the United States, the U.K., or pretty much every country in Western Europe."

And:

"Since Donald Trump’s re-election, increasing numbers of Americans see Ireland as an appealing alternative to the U.S."

Meredith Blake notes that Jessie Buckley "is the first Irish woman to win an Academy Award for lead actress in the nearly 100-year history of the Oscars." And: "Buckley’s win is one part of a broader surge in Irish popular culture over the last decade." What accounts for this?:

"We're Off to See the Wizard" is one of the classic songs from the #AcademyAward-winning 1939 film #TheWizardOfOz. Composer #HaroldArlen described it, along with "#TheMerryOldLandOfOz" and "#DingDongTheWitchIsDead", as one of the "lemon drop" songs of the film. The lyrics are by #EYYipHarburg. The melody's first appearance begins with the #Munchkins reciting and #JudyGarland echoing "Follow the #YellowBrickRoad".

"A #documentary about the #murder of five #Jews in a #Polish town is being threatened with a #ban in #Poland — not because they were killed in the #Holocaust, but because they weren’t.

The Jews at the heart of “Among Neighbors,” from #California-based #filmmaker #YoavPotash, died six months after the end of #Nazi #occupation. They were among a handful of survivors from #Gniewoszów, a town where about 1,500 Jews made up half the population before #WorldWarII. When they returned home in 1945, they were killed by their Polish neighbors.

Since premiering at the #Warsaw #Jewish #Film Festival in November 2024, “Among Neighbors” has been screened in six countries and qualified for #AcademyAward consideration. But its release on TVP, the Polish public broadcaster, has prompted uproar from right-wing politicians and a national investigation."

Go back to where?

I am intensely excited about the #Oscars news today, but I was curious how #Sinners was able to beat Titanic in number of #AcademyAward nominations.

Partly it's due to a new category added this year (Best Casting) which Titanic didn't have available back in 1998.

But Sinners didn't beat Titanic by only one nomination! Sinners has a total 16 to Titanic's 14, achieved mainly by a nomination for Best Supporting Actor (Delroy Lindo!) in addition to Best Supporting Actress (Wunmi Mosaku!), while Titanic only achieved a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Gloria Stuart as later-in-life Rose
