But then that doesnt even come close to covering up for the normal, crazy National Enquirer frontpage headlines like these....

I for one am thankful that the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and I’ll even throw in the Hobbit films were produced and distributed somewhat before or at least in the interstitial time before Hollywood in general really went full on, shithouse rat insane.
Korean filmmaking has set itself apart from other countries, whose film industries have been stagnant or had their heydays in the past. And let’s not pretend there’s anything remotely comparable to the Oscars in prestige and relevance in other countries. Oscars is meant to celebrate the creme de la creme of the world.
The Telegraph used to be a good, straight up paper. I haven't read them for years though.
I get Daily Mail TV as one of the channels on my tv.
Actually I would compare it to the NYPost.
The gift bags were worth a quarter million dollars.
Peter Jackson’s 1917 was well deserving of its award. Should have got best picture in 2019. Was glad to hear Anthony Hopkins got best actor award
LOL they played Woke and got Woked.
Peter Jackson directed the documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old”
Sam Mendes directed movie “1917”
The Telegraph is still good. But you can only read it through paid subscription online. We do get it and they report the news straight.
PS-I do like the DM. My British husband says it is only trash now. And we both agree that the Enquirer stories always have a nugget of truth at their core. The NE was the first place to report on John Edwards’ affair.
You are correct. “They shall not grow old” was amazing. I think I’ve watched it a dozen times. It never grows old.
At its worst, the Daily Mail is a much more solid and superior publication than the National Enquirer.
And a far older publication as well.
No fan of the Daily Mail, but the National Enquirer? Puleeze.
Didn’t the Enquirer break the John Edwards affair story?
Where’s Bat Boy?
Who’s “DH”?
Short for Dear Husband.
Maybe that's why I never see any posts referring to it.
I guessing that “received its due” means that Koreans have been making good movies and Hollywood wasn’t noticing, not that one was picked this year for some other reason unrelated to the film’s quality.
