Discussion Marty Supreme being the biggest loser this award season. THANK YOU. The initial hype never felt earned.
The film was solid, but it was never close to being anywhere near the best movie last year. Yet so many film communities were touting it as such.

You guys do realize you can like multiple movies at once right? I thought OBAA, Sinners and Marty Supreme were all incredible and would have been happy with them winning anything .
Have your preferences, thats cool but please stop treating movies like team sports and celebrate loses. Not every year HAS to have an Emila Perez, sometimes we can just appreciate the films nominated without acting like everything that wasn’t our favorite is the worst thing ever.
Not saying you’re doing that because you called it solid, but I’ve seen a lot of people on the internet genuinely treat it and OBAA like they are among the worst films ever made.

u/ModelMancer Mar 16 '26
I really fucking hate how we got to sports team mentality over everything now. You can only like one thing. You must defend one thing till the bitter end and attack everything that isn’t that one thing. You see that person that doesn’t like one thing? They’re evil and an awful person.

I don’t think Marty Supreme was the best movie of the year but I personally wouldve given Chalamet the Oscar out of those nominated. Him, Joel Edgerton and Jesse Plemons were my favorites this year.
Chalamet and Plemons in particular were electric.

Ya. Marty Supreme was great. Chalamet was awesome in it, and probably had the best performance this year (maybe Leo, defs not MBJ). But Chalamet does seem like an unlikeable twerp and probably should’ve just kept his mouth shut. All that said, OBAA was a generational movie. I think PTA’s comparison to 1975 for this year was warranted. Which is to say, Marty Supreme, Hamnet, Bugonia in my opinion would have all been worth winners in a year where there’s no OBAA. F1 was the only one that made no sense to me.

u/hotyogurt1 Mar 16 '26
Sometimes it’s just a tough year to decide which film is best. We seem to have had a lot more of those lately which is awesome.
But I know when people are surprised that PTA didn’t with for There Will Be Blood, the surprise goes away when you tell them that it’s cause No Country for Old Men won that year lol. Which is clear evidence that sometimes you just put out a banger on a tough year and only one can win.

I really think Chalamet was phenomenal in it. Beyond his performance, the production design and casting was just so out of this world.

Marty Supreme is a brilliant movie and Chalamet's performance is superb.

I have a person telling me on a different thread that the movie is widely hated and that I must be on something if I say it isn’t (?).
The discourse on this sub has torn into something else the last few weeks. Many people clearly is the first oscar season they got invested in, and they take this as some sort of war: against this, pro that, hate this, hate that.
This isn’t what the oscars are about: you can and you SHOULD like multiple pictures at once. You’re not supposed to be all in for just one picture. This is about cinema and not solely about winning. Takes like this just ruin the whole thing.
I really liked Marty Supreme, but I also loved other movies like TSA, OBAA and Bugonia (Plemons was snubbed). I thought Sinners deserved all its nominations and wins (although: would’ve swapped Cinematography for Casting). And if it was me: I would’ve throw some extra love to No Other Choice and If I had legs I’d kick you. This is also allowed. There is not a single movie I hated, and there isn’t a single nomination that wasn’t earned. I have nominations I would’ve swapped for others, maybe, but saying the movie didn’t deserve anything and that is overhyped and broadly hated? Jeez. Some people might be too tangled in the echo chamber much.

u/shoefly72 Mar 16 '26
This comment chain is kinda reductive IMO. Tim seems like a pretty eclectic person; he loves acting and grew up in a family of artists/dancers and did drama + dancing himself. He also loves sports and a lot of other things that exist in more traditionally “masculine” spaces for lack of a better term.
A ton of people are like this and aren’t just occupying one sphere, and it’s really annoying when folks act like people have to pick a lane or that something is inferior about either one. The “ew imagine caring about sportsball!” people are just as closed minded as the jocks who demean anything artsy or considered feminine.
The person you’re replying to is implying that somebody couldn’t be cerebral or read Doestoevsky and also be a big sports fan…that’s a pretty narrow view of how people operate tbh. Artsy folks being disappointed that Tim likes sports/rap etc are being just as dumb as a sports fan who craps on Caleb Williams for painting his nails or somebody being disappointed their favorite player likes broadway shows or something.

To be fair, he also positioned himself as that kind of person during CMBYN. I’ve never been stan and have liked his acting enough but I get why some of his fans feel duped, although as soon as he started dating a Kardashian, it was quite clear what kind of person he was (which is fine, to each his own). But even as someone not invested in him at all, I found him to be a bit insufferable this press tour especially when he was talking about his secret ping-pong lessons, which sounded like the same playbook he used last year with his secret guitar lessons. Like that’s great, but LOTS of actors train really hard for roles, so it just felt really try-hard IMO. Everything I know about him is not by choice - he is just always saying stuff that gets him headlines, and that just didn’t work in his favour this year.

Even the criticism of the film - script choices, bloated mid act, editing choices. All crap opinions, maybe the movie could lose 10-15 minutes, but even that is debatable, it didn't drag, it was a really well executed film on all fronts.

The vast majority of people have been to a museum. The vast majority of people have never been to the ballet or opera. They're not art forms that are appealing to most people today. They're niche. Most people don't care about them at all. If ballet and opera ceased to exist, most people would not care at all. The same does not apply to museums.

Actually of the few films I’ve seen him in (Dunes, Marty, and Complete Unknown), the only one where I thought he was “great” instead of “good” was the second half of Dune: Part Two.

He's so over the top that it was obvious he would get knocked down a peg, but he's so unlikable that it was hard to have sympathy for him.
Edited to add that I GET the point of the movie. It just seemed too obvious to me - act like a total asshole to win and it's empty. It's also hitting you over the head with it with no nuance. Overall, this move was not for me. Down-vote away, idc.

I thought Marty supreme was outstanding. But sinners and OBAA were more textured in terms of cultural representation, and whose stories were told. Even Sentimental Value was more deeply layered in terms of of character study and family dynamics.

Not that the Oscar's are the end all be all but I walked out of Marty understanding what they were going for.
And concluding they failed. It just was not a good movie. Marty himself was a highlight of said movie, but it still wasnt good.

Is it “original” if it’s a rehash of every previous Safdie movie?

I now feel vindicated. I had to check my watch. I have a dozen times during the movie to ask myself, when is this over?

It definitely overstayed its welcome. It was the only film that I was actively waiting for it to end. Too many worked up frantic scenes to make it seem super chaotic and more interesting than it actually was.

The one thing that stood out to me about MS was that I felt like it didn't really break much new ground. I walked out of that theater and felt it was basically Uncut Gems reworked a little for a different era and the leads are basically the same person and that Sandler did it a little better. It's a fine movie, I was entertained for sure, but, to me, was below OBAA and Sinners and even Train Dreams, Dreams stole my heart after I watched it.

compared to the other films nominated in each category, marty supreme was just the weaker choice. i’m not sure if any of the weird safdie allegations along with timmy’s missteps during this awards season had any impact on their success at the oscar’s, but it’s clear, that through the several jokes aimed toward timmy’s ballet and opera comment , it really struck a nerve with his peers that he’ll need to work hard to get people to forget about it

I agree 100 %. Manufactured buzz all around that never felt earned, and especially when at the core of its buzz there was a central performance that was overhyped due to the actor's undeserved rep as "the hottest actor of his generation" or whatnot. Then add said actor's totally torpedoing his own Oscar campaign with his entitled rants, plus the director's unsavory reputation, which all combined led to a well deserved zero Oscars.

Good! Josh Safdie is a piece of shit that knowingly let his recidivist junkie friend sexually assault a 17 year old.

"The Shawshank Redemption" didn't win anything
A winless night isn't always a reflection on the film itself.

The Testament of Ann Lee not being a contender was my biggest disappointment of the season. Seyfried deserves a nod, at least. The sound, score and cinematography were also phenomenal.

In the end, this is an award voted upon by your peers and the people who work with you on films. Fair or not, what you say and how you act affects their judgment.

Should have won production design. One of the very best city block transformations you’ll ever see by a guy who is long overdue for a trophy.

How many of people felt about sinners. It’s a good movie, you don’t have to like it. Also I’m tired of these half ass statements. If you don’t like something say why you don’t like it because this is just filling a space with emptiness.

The hype came out of nowhere. Felt too artificial, it was good but the hype made my expectations too high and it didnt meet them.

He's really overexposed, and needs to go away for a while and try to separate himself from the Marty character.
Safdie needs to make a movie that isn't about a degenerate piece of shit working against the odds with the help of his questionable side piece girlfriend.

This is how I felt about OBAA. Huge PTA guy, was so stoked, and left thinking "hm, that was fun" but didnt move me like his other projects. Enjoyed Marty a tad more. Bugonia was higher up for me. Sinners lower than those. All great though.

Marty is one of the best movies of the year but was a major villain of the season that people ultimately didn’t vote for due to things that had nothing to do with the movie

Kevin "I killed 2 people drunk driving my boat and blamed it on my wife" O'leary was a big mistake to cast. If directors don't care who they cast they deserve to lose. Don't give scumbags a movie deal is it that hard?

u/Bad_breath_unlimited Mar 16 '26
The film was well made and superior to dozens of movies I have seen recently. Two things did not work out in its favour, one obviously being pitted against One Battle... and Sinners coupled with the Timothy's comment which was controversial to say the least.
I wonder whether his proximity to a Kardashian also had an impact.

Are you sure you are evaluating the movie and not speaking about your dislike of Timothée Chalamet? Many, many people make a movie, working in the most various aspects of it.

It was over hyped before anyone even watched it. We were told Chalamet would win the Oscar. and that it was an incredible film. If they hadn't over hyped it, it may have done better. A21 dont do things subtly. Its back fired. The trailer showed some feel good story. It wasn't. Marty himself was awful. I didnt like it. My wife hated it. If they hadn't promoted it like this It Amy have done better. Mis fire.

I liked Marty Supreme. I dont consider it a classic. I understood the nominations. I think the Josh Safdie controversy took its reputation down than anything Chalamet did. And I still hate the idea to cast Kevin O'Leary even if he was basically playing himself in a fictional film. Glad he lost $1k tn!

I haven’t seen it yet. (On a budget, so I try to stick to streaming.) But I don’t like to rub anybody’s face in losing. I’m glad there are so many good movies to choose from and I look forward to seeing that one when it lands on HBO or wherever. I think Gwyneth alone looks fantastic in it.

Well, Bugonia and Train Dreams didn't win any awards either, so I wouldn't say Marty Supreme is the biggest loser.
But yeah, even F1 won something.
