Both Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan disappeared from Hollywood after the system turned its back on them, Fraser for speaking his truth and Quan due to a lack of opportunities for Asian actors. Both getting embraced last night was powerful and cathartic. They deserve the world.

Having done #Barbenheimer , I can confirm that the order should be BARBIE first, then OPPENHEIMER, but give yourself a break in between. Give both movies room to breathe. Have all the emotional fun with BARBIE, let it soak in, then see OPPENHEIMER and sit with the weight of it.

Thankfully was warned not to read the Vulture review for KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON. Spreading the word to make sure others avoid it so they don't get spoiled. It's sad to see some critics have such little respect for their readers and the films they're reviewing like that.

OPPENHEIMER shook me to my core. Christopher Nolan's most dialogue-heavy film, his most in-depth character study, but also his most suspenseful film to date. The tension is more stressful than most horror films I've seen.

@Shivmoviemaiden I disagree. I don't think that people are only focusing on the narratives behind their comebacks as a reason to award them. The performances that Fraser and Quan gave in their respective films moved a lot of people and I think they would have won those awards regardless.
