Comments on: The 2018 Oscars By The Numbers https://staging2.theplaylist.net/2018-oscars-numbers-20180305/ Mon, 12 Mar 2018 15:37:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: David https://staging2.theplaylist.net/2018-oscars-numbers-20180305/#comment-159127 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 15:37:00 +0000 http://theplaylist.net/?p=381590#comment-159127 This article reminded me how Million Dollar Baby aged badly. Still can’t believe Scorsese lost to Eastwood for Picture and Directing. The Aviator is a superior and more innovative film, as opposed to MDB which feels like a spoof of a Lifetime movie.

I think it’s a typo, and that she meant Best Pic winner. then it does check out.

Did you mean the last Best Picture winner?

Because The Help, Zero Dark Thirty, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Gravity, Philomena, Brooklyn, Room, Hidden Figures all had female leads.

Jeez! It’s almost like an excuse to vent. It’s a shame though, because there are interesting tidbits in it.

Do you exclude Emma Stone in LA LA LAND, or the trio of leads in HIDDEN FIGURES, because they were co-leads?

Even so, Amy Adams was inarguably the main lead of ARRIVAL, and just the year before that we had Saoirse Ronan leading BROOKLYN and Brie Larson leading ROOM.

Im sure you’ve never made a mistake in your life so by all means please cast the first stone Jess.
