The Supreme One


Congratulations to Timmy for his much deserved Globe win last night -- I hadn't realized until after he won that this was his FIFTH nomination and he'd lost every time before, so good on him. I know the Globes have a sordid reputation -- and I don't know how much they've really cleaned up their act given they're now run by the guy who owns all of the industry publications -- but I consider all awards shows on the same level of bullshit so I don't subscribe to the Globes meaning any more or any less than the Oscars. Knowing people who vote for the Globes personally, and knowing people who vote for the Oscars personally, and being a person who votes for the Critics Choice Awards and the GALECA awards, I promise you none of us are being handed personal checks from Kris Jenner lol. I wish! My vote's for sale to the highest bidder! Not that it will do any good -- part of why I know that entire conspiracy theory that pissy fanboys scream out ain't true is because I've watched every vote I've ever voted sink into an abyss of groupthink. It's just the nature of these things. And it's why they're meaningless as arbiters of taste. Just watch the shows for the pretty people in pretty clothes being melodramatic art students for our enjoyment and don't get too worked up. HYPOCRISY ALERT!!! Because I certain;y cannot say that I don't get worked up when my favorites get sidelined...

I have nothing against Ludwig Göransson or his wonderful music for SINNERS (one of the film's true highlights I have no reservations toward) but MY GOD I can't believe it's going to steamroll over Jonny Greenwood. I really convinced myself this was the year they'd pull their heads outta their asses

I literally posted that five minutes ago haha. It's just when the "narrative" is there for something good, all the pieces are aligned, and the bait remains untaken that I get frustrated. There's literally no reason for them not to finally throw Jonny a bone this year dammit. He's gotten deservedly nominated so many times now, and not nominated just as many times undeservedly -- he's one of the true geniuses of film scoring this century. And to top that off -- Luwig's already got a damn Oscar! It ain't right. I know the case that's being made -- the idea is everybody feels they have to recognize Sinners somewhere and its music is indeed its stand-out element, so people who feel guilty they're giving PTA his (much-deserved) statues for Directing and maybe Screenwriting and Best Picture are voting for Sinners over in the Score category so it wins something. But at the Oscars Cooglar can win Screenwriting since that's an Original Screenplay, while PTA can get Adapted. Anyway I can't believe I'm rambling about Awards Season so much. This bullshit so ain't my bag. I think I'm still high from Wanda Sykes eviscerating Bill Maher on the Globes last night...

My Wanda came out and owned the show in under five minutes

God that was glorious. The thing that made it land so hard was Maher lit up at the start of Wanda's statement -- he really took the bait, and it was DIVINE. A beautiful, beautiful bloodletting. No blowhard's deserved it more! Well okay there are several blowhards who I've prefer watching being eviscerated these days -- yes even above Bill Maher. Bill Maher could walk away scot-free in exchange for the politicians he simps for, but I DIGRESS. I'm not getting into that. No the real reason I even began this post -- and no I don't know how so many wordshave already  tumbled out of my mouth at 10am on a Monday morning, for real -- is this...

... hey remember how I shouted out Timothee Chalamet's win way way way up there at the top of this post? Well for some reason A24 decides a Monday morning was the perfect time to drop the vinyl for Marty Supreme, the movie that won him said award. You can pre-order it on their site -- as much as I do like Lopatin's score and immediately bought this I do wish there was a third record with the film's stellar needledrops. Maybe they'll make like Sinners did and release two releases, one for the score and one for the songs. Oh and I really love the video that A24 produced for the vinyl to showcase what a kick-ass design they did for it, so check that out below.

Hate the GG's. Timmy shouted out Kevin O'Leary in his goddam speech. That's some bullshit.

I like Wanda Sykes but i've no idea who Bill Maher is so I don't get the joke and for me the ceremony was made a 100 times better by The Julia Roberts being there.

You're better off not knowing who BIll Maher is honestly. He's an asshole.
