Tweetweek: Nick in New Zealand, Amy in OscarLand and More...
Saturday, December 17, 2016 at 11:00AM — Nick Davis (@NicksFlickPicks) December 15, 2016
Before you click ahead to see this week's collection of tweeted amusements, take a moment to appreciate the perfection of this visual postcard from our podcast mate Nick Davis. He's on vacation in New Zealand doing Holly doing The Piano on THE beach where it happened. His all time favorite film so I mean. It couldn't be more perfect, except that he neglected to contact Janet Patterson about a hoop skirt. After the jump Babs, Florence Foster Jenkins, Passengers, Jackie, Natalie Portman and more...

in an 11th-hour twist, it turns out that Jennifer Lawrence (Passengers) is a LOCK for this year's coveted "Be Careful, Honey!" award.

As is the tradition, the award will be accepted over the phone, and the speech will be filmed and clumsily inserted into the ceremony later.

"Florence Foster Jenkins" sounds like something John Goodman would yell in an edited-for-TV version of THE BIG LEBOWSKI.

MOONLIGHT is a good movie. LA LA LAND is also a good movie. More than one movie can be good at the same time.

Meryl's filmography:
— Louis Virtel (@louisvirtel) December 12, 2016
'70s: Icy divorcees
'80s: Devastated people with accents
'90s: Salt of the Earth
2000s-now: You won't believe this wig
Don't call LA LA LAND "[so and so] for the digital age" when most of the conflict could have been resolved if they'd just texted each other.

JACKIE is supposedly based on a true story, but I'm not sure I believe it since it doesn't end with photographs of the real people.

Weird that so much of Film Twitter freaks out over franchise reshoots. I guess they've never made a film.

Twitter proves no-one is really that interesting.
Let's get this out of the way: Oh my, George Takei.
After that New Zealand beach shoot, Nick Davis got undressed to change clothes, thereby making an unintentional tribute to Harvey Keitel in THE PIANO.
I love a good What's Up, Doc? reference.
Virtel is genius
OMG, those jeans young Bale is wearing. I wore jeans like that as well. What were we thinking?
I'm waiting to see Isabelle Huppert and Annette Benning go Dae-su on those award committees. I'm bringing some cake and pie to this event.
Natalie Portman always makes me think how lucky Audrey Hepburn was to the age she was born and lived.
That La La Land tweet is so true. I couldn't understand why they didn't trade numbers or ever communicate except in person. Who makes plans for a week from now without confirming close to the date!?
That shot of Nick on the beach, à la Ada in The Piano, is everything. What a gift. (Thanks, Santa!)
Christian Bale was a cute kid- and Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" is one his most underrated movies
The Jesse Knight John Goodman tweet is genius.
"2000s-now: You won't believe this wig"
Hahaha. Genius!
