This account, @criticonfilm77, is the sex pest who goes by David LaMan, Josh Friedman and several other aliases. He is not a correspondent for @TheAwardsGarage and continues to verbally harass and stalk real journalists online and in person. I highly recommend you block him now.

What if you commissioned a husband made entirely out of #wicker? Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård lead #WickerMovie, a delightfully strange romantic tale exploring loneliness, ostracisation, & the desire for companionship.

A career pickpocket, an estranged daughter, and a desperate attempt to protect the person he loves most. #JohnTurturro anchors Noah Segan's latest with a quietly captivating performance.

"David Larson," who also goes by "Josh Friedman," "David Josh Friedman" and "David LaMan," is a sex pest who was arrested over a dozen times for stalking, prowling and victimizing women.
He continues to harass and stalk journalists at festivals as he did at SCAD several times.

Don’t be surprised if Mother Mary becomes the Best Picture front runner soon. I think people are seriously underestimating how much this movie is going to connect with audiences including academy voters.

While the Golden Globes forbid documentaries from all other categories, YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING will remain eligible for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award.
So it’s likely the Globes will at least recognize it there.

“A film that breaks your heart without leaving you broken.”
Read @The_LifeOfDylan’s ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rave of #Josephine, a devastating yet deeply compassionate film featuring a phenomenal performance from Mason Reeves and masterful direction from Beth de Araújo.

Or you could not give a shit and just go on with your life unbothered. 🤷♂️
I need certain people to stop overhyping every single film they watch. How is anyone supposed to trust your opinion when every tweet makes it sound like you just saw the next Godfather? I love when people get excited about movies, but when everything is remarkable, masterful or a tour de force, the praise quickly loses its meaning. This constant hyperbole is doing more harm than good.

No idea if the film can do anything beyond Animated, but it is unequivocally one of the best directed movies of the year. The technical achievement is staggering. But also evocative emotionally. I’m probably “need to see it to believe it” but it’s worthy of BP and BD.
Couldn't stop thinking about Wildwood last night (fingers crossed I can publish a proper written review this weekend), so I decided to look into its BP nom chances.
I noticed that all three animated movies that made it into BP (Beauty And The Beast, Up, Toy Story 3) landed in the top 10 of critics' consensus lists for their respective years. In fact, they didn't just crack the top 10, they cracked the top 5!
I also looked up the animated movies I believe would've gotten in if the field had been a hard 10 that year (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Aladdin, The Lion King, Toy Story, Shrek, WALL-E), and they all cracked the critics' consensus top 10 in their respective years too. I do think there's a slim, but not impossible, chance Toy Story 2 could've been #10 in its year, and it also made the top 10 in the critics consensus that year.
So, if Wildwood can manage a top 5 finish on critics' "best of" lists (very hard IMO), it might actually get in. But cracking the top 10 (plausible) is a must if it stands any chance.
