Largest payout! Amazing critical reception! Maybe it is good, idk yet, although I question the success in comparison to the competition. It\’s almost as if the studios want to profit off this oscar movement…..they wouldn\’t though…..they studios are in it for the art!

Also love that the much maligned Swiss Army Man, this year\’s press pinata (ie. the farting Harry Potter corpse movie), just picked up best director.
