Best Film? Best Actress? You Are Kidding Me! And frankly left me feeling disappointed. People who are saying this is the "best movie of the year" need to watch some other movies!!! It wasn't necessarily a "bad" movie, the cinematography was beautiful and the performance by Mickey was excellent. But the writing is very sloppy, and there isn't a whole lot of depth in the film (which is disappointing because I was expecting SO MUCH more). For example, at least half the film is just the Russian mob guys being like "have you seen this guy? Have you seen this guy?" It wastes a lot of time and does NOTHING to drive the plot. Could have used some heavy editing during that portion of the film.

The 2025 Oscars got reflective with the traditional In Memoriam segment celebrating the entertainment figures who died over the past year as the names scrolled onscreen. Notable names in filmmaking including David Lynch, Maggie Smith, James Earl Jones and Donald Sutherland were recognized during the emotional segment.

"Harriet the Spy" star Michelle Trachtenberg, who died the Wednesday before the Oscars, was not included in the In Memoriam segment. This year, actors including Tony Todd, Chance Perdomo, Alain Delon, "Annie Hall" star Tony Roberts, Linda Lavin, James Darren, Mitzi Gaynor, Martin Mull and "Romeo and Juliet" star Olivia Hussey were also omitted, along with documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock.

Gene Hackman, who was found dead with his wife on Wednesday, was remembered with a tribute from Morgan Freeman, who worked with the two-time Oscar winner on "Unforgiven" and "Under Suspicion."

Quincy Jones also got his own separate Oscars tribute later in the show.

The tribute reel unspooled to an orchestral presentation of Mozart's "Requiem in D Minor," known as "Lacrimosa" - though some commenters on social media found it too lachrymose even for a segment dedicated to the memory of those who have passed away.

But no matter how many people are remembered, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences can't dedicate an unlimited amount of time to listing names and photos. So every year, a few notable entertainers are omitted, which often causes an outcry on social media. The Academy traditionally posts a longer list on its website.

Other performers and creatives who were remembered during the segment include Gena Rowlands, Teri Garr, Shelley Duvall, Bob Newhart, John Amos, Roger Corman and Robert Towne.

Tony Todd, that's so below the belt and so disrespectful. Shame on them. The others I understand since they weren't in the film industry, only tv. I remember when Ron Silver died they did the same thing.

Now after 10 years, finally I got chance to watch this sci-fi epic as it is meant to be i.e., in an IMAX screen. The cinematic experience was unbelievable right from the beginning till the end credits. Even Avatar didn't had such an impact the way this Nolan's masterpiece has while viewing on the big screen.

Be it the cast, storytelling, cinematography or background score, this sci-fi masterpiece has every ingredient that will leave you in awe when the credits roll. Matthew McConaughey as Cooper is superb in his role of an ex-NASA pilot turned farmer in a dystopian future where the Earth has become uninhabitable. Cooper's chemistry with his daughter Murph is heartwarming that will leave you in tears on multiple occasions. This is something new from Nolan who in his previous creations never really fixated his characters in such emotional things. Music by Zimmer is on another level and makes every scene a memorable one especially the Cornfield Chase, the Docking Sequence and that timer on the Miller's Plant. Even writing about these gives me chills. Not to mention the detailing of every scientific term to make it easy for audience to understand the concept is something that needs to be acknowledged. The amount of time Nolan invested with the likes of Nobel award winning scientist Dr. Kip Thorne to make this movie so close to realism is something that has never been done before.

Planning to watch every time it is re-released.
