Well I mean most of the BP nominees in my opinion are average movies and totally forgettable, Martian, Revenant, Bridge of Spies, no one is going to remember these movies in a year. Tangerine just sticks with you. I’d say it’s a 9.5
Tangerine “Unsung”? I guess they want to keep it that way by ignoring it in all the other categories.
So, what you’re telling me is that on a scale of 1-10, Tangarine is like… 1,000,000 and then some. XD But it seems like I won’t be able to see it in theaters.
It’s absolutely amazing, better and more memorable than most movies nominated for BP this year.
Ah Looking. I will miss that show so much.
How good is it from 1-10, it’s an indie movie right? Cause I haven’t seen showtime for it where I live. >_>
Nice to see some recognition for Tangerine but why hasn’t this truly ‘unsung’ film received more widespread nominations?
Unsung Film of the Year: Tangerine
It’s true, not enough people have seen this movie sadly.
Surprise!…. not. But nice.
Fun fact: Meryl Streep won there for TIL in 2011, too. In a group of mainly homo- or at the very least bisexual characters.
No love for Tangerine?
