It was, it was great.
You're on this Thursday.
We're going to talk about movie stars and Robert Redford.
Yeah.
28.
Hmm.
Well, okay, I disagree with everything. I think... Okay, first of all, I just want to be clear. I have no deep, visceral...
problem with Mikey Madison winning I actually was I was happy for the surprise of it of those five nominees I wasn't terribly excited about I loved Fernanda Torres and I'm still here I think that Demi Moore we can talk about what Demi Moore is doing in the substance that I think made her deserving of an Oscar okay but my two favorite performances are two of my very favorite performances from last year was
Their movie's got no nominations. And I just was kind of like, there needs to be an asterisk next to these five nominees. Who were the two performances? Nicole Kidman and Baby Girl.
That is one of the greatest. I mean, this is true of Nicole Kidman in general in the last like 15 years. But that performance in Baby Girl is one of the greatest feats of psychological acting I have ever seen. I don't know how... I'm not an actor, and I don't know how you simulate... Any of the things that Nicole Kidman was asked to do and Harris Dickman, or is it Harris Dickson? Dickinson?
He is also great. That is one of the top, his performance is one of the top five performances I saw last year.
Yes, supporting. I can live with supporting. We can talk about category fraud too. Yeah. Because two of our winners, total category fraudsters. And I anyway, I think that Mikey Madison is good in that movie.
My problem with with the performance is only that the four guys she is working with in this film are extraordinary. All four of those guys is great. And all four of those guys are great. And, you know, Yura Borislav, I'm so out of practice with these names. I'm going to get some of them wrong.
But, you know, to single him out is right because, you know, he's got the scene at the end in the car, which is her great moment as an actor, too, in this movie. I like Nora. I like it more than fine, but I don't love it.
I think that I'd be curious to hear you talk about what you love about Mikey Madison so much.
Here's what I'll say about Demi Moore. I... There's a shot at the beginning or toward the beginning of this film where she has left the set of her aerobics instruction...
show her big hit uh fitness show she's going to the bathroom and on our on our walk from the studio i believe or maybe the executives i don't exactly know what where the hallway is going to and leading i know it's going to the bathroom but anyway there are all of these photos of of various versions of elizabeth sparkle to me more character in the substance on the wall and
And they're all from different periods of this character's life. And I just felt like I was also watching the Hall of Demi Moore. And, like, all those portraits correspond, at least in my brain, they corresponded to some moment in Demi Moore's cultural life and her movie star life. And then she gets to the bathroom, and I believe there's, like, somebody's cleaning the women's room.
So what does she have to do? She goes into the men's bathroom. That is the Demi Moore's shot or sequence maybe ever. Yeah. And this movie is so dialed in in its way because it's not about America. It's not about... It's like set in a kind of fictionalized Hollywood. We can talk about the kind of Europeanification and the sort of...
The ways in which non-American filmmakers and ideas have officially made an inexorable mark on the Academy Awards and the Academy itself. It's just not going anywhere anytime soon. So we have to think about what the Oscars even are going forward. But anyway...
