'The Whale', starring a resurgent Brendan Fraser, has been one of the biggest hits of the early festival season, drawing minutes-long standing ovations. But... aside from Fraser, the film itself is not good.
Brendan Fraser has been a well-known face in Hollywood for over three decades starring in countless blockbusters and iconic roles, but despite that, his career was essentially dead until one role put him back in the spotlight.
The Academy Awards have been troubled for quite a long time, and seemed like one of those unsolvable problems. But this year's Oscars show, for the first time in at least a decade, was actually well-done.
I think it's safe to say, that this year's Oscars show was one of the best in years. But did they get things right when it came to the winners and losers?
