Best Picture!


This should replace Marriage Story.

I enjoyed this movie so much more than ^.

Honey Boy had heart. Marriage Story was garbage, literal trash.

Yeah, but this isn’t some overacted Oscar bait movie like Marriage Story. The Academy is a complete joke.

reply

True.
Honey Boy is nominated in my heart so thats all that matters.
I admire Shia and respect him for sharing that story with the world.

Noah Baumbach has one writing nomination like 15 years ago. If it's that easy to make "Oscar bait" then what has he been waiting for all these years? Or maybe a lot of people just think it's a great movie.

reply

Never said his other movies are Oscar bait movies so you make no sense.

An Oscar nomination would have been nice but would always be an uphill battle for such a tiny film. Shia could have scored in Supporting Actor with a bigger push or a major critics award or two.

For the record I did like Marriage Story so in this hypothetical alternative Oscars’ universe I would knock out Jojo Rabbit to make way for Honey Boy. Noah Jupe would be up for Beat Actor, too.

I haven't seen Marriage Story but this was an excellent film, moving, sincere performances and a story that felt real and meant something.

> Marriage Story was garbage, literal trash.

Idiots talk like this. So you liked this movie better than that, it doesn't make every other movie garbage. Your way of expressing yourself if garbage.

Haven't seen Marriage Story yet but I just saw Honey Boy. It was pretty good, it's not real engrossing but it had a realism to it that was kind of interesting. And since I knew this was based on Shia's life, it almost felt like a documentary/biography of some sorts...

I'd give it a 6.0 out of 10. The story is just not real gripping and I've seen a lot, and I mean a lot of films like this but it's not bad, it's pretty good for what it is.
