I want to see if Sam Elliot wins...I saw A Star Is Born today...

[Rummyfan]

I’m shocked. A man actually thanked his wife.

Glad he didn't thank his husband.

[dfwgator]

I don’t know, I thought Sacha was pretty good in Hugo, and Les Miserables.

I think he could be a pretty good actor if he wanted to, but I think he enjoys doing those other things too much.

[patriotspride]

Thanks. The movie portrayed him as asking her to marry him and giving her a ring so I thought They married . Appreciate the clarification.

[Rummyfan]

I joked that in the final scene when Snafu gets dropped off in Louisiana he tells Sledge, “Let’s get back together in England in 25 years and start a band!”

LOL! But Sledge also helped start Facebook....

[dfwgator]

I didn’t see the movie, but I thought Freddie was raped when he was a teenager, and that’s possibly what “turned” him.

[Rummyfan]

It seems to have something to do with wanting free tampons.

It seems in the brave new world that the progressives want to usher in, everything will be free.They are very vague on how all these free things are to be produced and paid for.

[morphing libertarian]

I want my incontinence pads tone free also. Urine Power!

[cowboyusa]

Green book wins. Good.

[Rummyfan]

Amy Adams.... oo la la.

[morphing libertarian]

3:20 Hours/min John Lewis and barbara striesand and a wall reference or two.

They can’t help themselves.

[morphing libertarian]

TO BE free

[dfwgator]

So yet another movie nobody saw wins Best Picture.

[CAluvdubya]

So yet another movie nobody saw wins Best Picture.

Yep. It looks like it might be a pretty good movie though.

Hopefully Hollywood will quit trying to make A Star Is Born into a winner. It isn't!

I wonder which movie has made the most money? I'm thinking Bohemian Rhapsody.

[Moonmad27]

I said the most politically correct film would win. A movie about the Green Book just HAD to win over an entertaining, beautifully done biopic about a beloved singer and rock group,

[cowboyusa]

Not that bad actually.

[patriotspride]

No real reference to that in movie. They did a good job minimizing sex and focusing on the band, their relationship, and the music. Wife and I enjoyed it.

[dfwgator]

I wonder if it’ll be the same in the upcoming Elton John biopic.

[ssaftler]

I said the most politically correct film would win.

Did you actually see "The Green Book"? If you consider it PC because it was about a black musician touring the South in the 1950s, you are sadly mistaken. Having traveled through the South in 1968, I didn't find much that the movie was a "whitewash" of how people lived and acted down there.

If anything, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was more PC, given the poor tragic gay singer who contracts AIDS as the lead, even if the story doesn't focus on that part of his life. Can't say for sure, I never saw the movie, as I was never a "Queen" fan.

[Moonmad27]

Sorry for the duplicate posts!

Brian May and Rami Malek both said that the film deliberately didn’t focus on the seedy side of Freddie’s story. The film is uplifting and a feel-good movie.
