“It’s still happening today.”

 I don’t post too much here about what is going on, because obviously this is a Leo site. However, if anyone is interested, Google what Oklahoma has started doing to tribes this past couple of weeks. Ticketing people with tribal tags if they are off tribal land. Our Governor has tried every way he knows to get our money. This is just his latest scheme.

Don't think this was posted already?

 

1 more movie before his big 50. Ok then. Sounds not too unrealistic? 😄

 One movie till next November shouldn't be a problem. Make it two, Leo. We want more 😄

Leo admitting Titanic is still "the universal language". Damn right man

Carey Mulligan talking about Leo at 1:40

 

Gosh she's so adorable 🥰 Love her accent and love her and her love for Leo. She's so underrated and not only one of my all time favorites of Leos leading ladies but one of my favorites in general. She's one of the few I just watch movies because she's in Even better I like most of her movies 😄 What a great, humble, sweet person!!

 

I haven't seen Leo react so close to any of his costars since Kate Winslet. Maybe Margot a little bit too but him and Lily seem to be so close and supportive of each other. Their bonds seems really special.🥰

Just the latest insta gushing of the two "buddys".

Another upcoming KOTFM q&a

 

I know @akatosh already posted some award news but can't remember if it was this one.

So NAPOLEON numbers are as medicore as KOTFM. Even if apple pretends it's not about money I really don't believe for a second they don't care. In this industry everything is about money and two massive bombs in a row is not a promising look for future projects. The only but important difference is no one seem to really like NAPOLEON. Medicore critics, medicore audience score what makes it even worse for apple because now everyone is aware they can't sell a good nor a bad movie and for sure can't win any prestige with that little french weirdo lol

 

‘Napoleon’ Wins Tuesday Previews With $3M in Grosses; ‘Wish’ Nabs $2.3M

Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” is now in theaters. It did decently well last night in Tuesday previews with a $3 million showing. The film cost Apple $200 million to produce. It’s now looking at a 5-day total of around $30 million.

I know I’ve used the excuse that Apple couldn’t care less about not making money on “Napoleon” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and it does look as though both films won’t be recouping their budget and marketing cost, but it’s not really a “win” for them either. At least, ‘Killers’ will get plenty of Oscar nominations, that’s the most positive way of looking at it. “Napoleon” likely won’t.

 

 

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ to Receive Historical Icon & Creator Tribute Honor at Gotham Awards

The Gotham Film & Media Institute announced today that Apple Original Films’ critically acclaimed Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese, will receive The Gotham Historical Icon & Creator Tribute at the 33rd annual Gotham Awards Ceremony, taking place live and in person on Monday, November 27, 2023 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. Nominees for the Gotham Awards can be found here.

The Historical Icon & Creator Tribute will recognize significant moments in history and honor the filmmaker and cast responsible for bringing the story to life in an authentic way on screen. Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro will be present when lead actress Lily Gladstone and the cast receive the tribute at the upcoming Gotham Awards Ceremony.

“Authentically and carefully crafted by one of our greatest filmmakers with respect and integrity, Killers of the Flower Moon is a powerful examination of the history of violence bestowed upon the Osage Nation,” said Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of The Gotham Film & Media Institute. “At the center of the brilliant writing, impeccable set design, and extraordinary cast, Lily Gladstone delivers a tour de force as Mollie Kyle. We’re thrilled to honor Lily with the film’s cast members during the Ceremony.”

 

Killers of the Flower Moon is set at the turn of the 20th century, when oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, Killers of the Flower Moon is directed by Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.

Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon joins Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, Ben Affleck’s Air, Michael Mann’s Ferrari, George C. Wolfe’s Rustin and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie as fellow tribute recipients.

 

Winners of the 33rd annual Gotham Awards will be honored at the awards ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street on Monday, November 27th. The Premier Sponsor of the 2023 Gotham Awards is Vanity Fair. Cadillac will serve as the Official Vehicle and FIJI Water will serve as the Official Water for the Awards.

Tomorrow I'll finally watch OPPENHEIMER. I'm a bit curious I have to admit 😄

 

Oscars — Best Actor Has Four Locks: Murphy, Cooper, DiCaprio and Giamatti

 

 

 

I’ve seen most of the major acting performances in contention for the Best Actor Oscar —save for “Maestro,” which I’ll be watching next Tuesday.

It does look as though I’ll be pulling for either Cillian Murphy or Leonardo DiCaprio to win the Oscar. Jeffrey Wright (“American Fiction”) and Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”) also deserve to be up there.

I have 11 Best Actor contenders on my predictions list. I can’t see anyone else being added. They are as follows:

Cillian Murphy — “Oppenheimer”
Bradley Cooper — “Maestro”
Leonardo DiCaprio — “Killers of the Flower Moon”
Paul Giamatti — “The Holdovers”
Colman Domingo — “Rustin”
Jeffrey Wright — “American Fiction”
Jamie Foxx — “The Burial”
Barry Keoghan — “Saltburn”
Joaquin Phoenix — “Napoleon”
Andrew Scott — “All of Us Strangers”
Zac Efron — “The Iron Claw”

If there’s a dark horse that isn’t part of this final 11, and that could sneak up into contention in the coming weeks, it’s Teo Yoo (“Past Lives”) who I thought gave the best performance in Celine Song’s highly praised film.

It’ll be hard to beat Cillian Murphy. It’s such a tour-de-force performance and he’s practically in every scene of the 3-hour “Oppenheimer.” His Robert J. Oppenheimer also turned into an unlikely meme generator this past summer with the ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenon. I don’t know many people who didn’t like his performance.

DiCaprio’s work in ‘Killers’ isn’t being talked about enough because, well, he doesn’t have much of a narrative. He already has an Oscar. If quality is actually a factor in winning awards, then DiCaprio’s rich work in ‘Killers’ would have a major shot at Oscar gold. It’s one of his best performances.

As I mentioned, I haven’t seen Bradley Cooper in “Maestro,” but those that have believe he has a clear shot at winning for his “transformative” performance as Leonard Bernstein. The film hasn’t been getting all-out raves from critics. It has a 76 on Metacritic and sits at 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. Good, but not great. However, there are those that completely abide by “Maestro”, passionate supporters, which gets me very excited to finally catch it next week.

Paul Giamatti is wonderful as the curmudgeon professor in “The Holdovers.” He wasn’t even nominated, and should have won, for 2004’s “Sideways.” I can’t see him getting snubbed again for this performance. He will also likely not win, but crazier upsets have occured in the past.

I believe we have four locks in this category — Murphy, Cooper, DiCaprio and Giamatti. The #5 slot could be a fight between Domingo and Wright. However, watch out for Zac Efron (“The Iron Claw”) as his film as barely been seen and I’m hearing good things about his performance.

Hi all 🤗

I have some questions about KOTFM cuz there are somethings that still get me confused every time I watch the film

1) Why did Minnie get sick? Did it happen naturally? Or was it Bill Smith? Or was it Hale? And was Bill a good guy? It doesn’t seem that he was a good guy since Mollie mention that he isn’t very nice to Rita when Mollie isn’t around? And did he marry Rita to get her killed and get her money? 

 

2) The scene where Ernest invites the doctors and Mollie rejects to see them, here they were really gonna give her the insulin, and she got several injections from what I understood so why didn’t she get better cuz that was before they started mixing the insulin with the poison? And when Ernest was fighting with her to get the shot did he really want her to get better (cuz in that scene I really was thinking she needs those shots)
