In for more pain and misery

I will tell my children about the absolute injustice that was the 2025 awards season

Friendly reminder

500k dead from what? not clued into this

Believe that's deaths at the hands of cartels

They sanctified a former cartel leader in the film

Ready for the collapse of Emilia Perez's momentum

ahh gotcha. I haven't finished the film yet so i'll hold my thoughts but Mexico isn't happy with it because the cartel leader is... good?

because a fictional cartel leader in the movie doesn’t accurately represent what Mexico is like in real life, outside of the fictional movie

makes sense

Can I join?

Anyone watching?

Easily the most hilarious win of the entire awards season

updated last year’s thread to be the main for the Critics Choice awards. this and Golden Globes next week will start the awards season!

Thinking this could stop her

Marty sweep
Timmy sweep

Tonight

Superman sweep
Sydney Sweeney flop sweep

Superman nominated ?!?

Weird having it before the Globes this year. Last year the Globes really influenced what went down at CC, but now this is the first precursor and likely isn’t going to have nearly the same influence as the GG.
