I'd say Joss had that rather than Danny until he was Me Tooed.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

We watched Black Adam tonight, and while the movie was kind of "eh" overall, I am shocked that there now exists a version of Hawkman that I like.

My only significant disagreement here is that I thought Stephanie Hsu's performance was fantastic. Movie star charisma and film acting nuance like I haven't seen in a debut since Cate Blachett did Elizabeth I.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like Jamie Lee Curtis got a lifetime achievement award when even on those grounds it could/should have gone to Angela Basset.

Our wings are not tired.
I didn't actually watch because I was doing stuff, but my love for Jamie Lee Curtis is such that I always want her to get awards. I'll try and watch today with the option of fast-forward.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
if I'm reading lips correctly even JLC thought she shouldn't have won

I'm right there with you Jesse. Though JLC's performance was good enough that I don't think anyone was robbed, exactly. I'd just have preferred if the voting went another way.
Michele Yeoh was my win-or-riot selection, though. As long as she got the award I would have been fine with my choices losing any other category, including Best Picture.

The scariest moment for me was when All Quiet on the Western Front picked up a couple of prizes it was the second-favorite on and it started to look like they would win bigger prizes. I didn't really care about Best Picture, but I was going to smash something if it won for adaptation over Women Talking. The more I think about it, the more mad I get about what they did with the ending (which, if you don't know, is where the title comes from).

Dungeons & Dragons was a lot of fun and much better than I expected it to be. I also had no idea that Regé-Jean Page was in it, so between him, Michelle Rodriguez, and Chris Pine, there is a LOT of pretty onscreen.
