Obviously this is a partisan crowd at QZ, but that really shows up the GGs to be an absolute farce.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps. But at a place like Queenzone, you'll have people who say "oh look, the film didn't win, which proves it's crap." And if it wins, it's "well, here's why the judging process is flawed."
I love people.

Listen, I appreciate your views to a degree, but I think there is a distinction we have to make between calling someone a troll for simply disagreeing with your views and applauding the ones who did like the film as some sort of winners. You're simply dividing fans, that's all.
Speaking of the verdict itself, it came as a huge surprise and I thought Brian's own expression when it was announced speaks for itself, but I still congratulate them. I personally thought their (and his) story deserved much more and I do think we could have had a real mass-appeasing work of art there, because that's what Queen essentially was, but for some reasons we were shortchanged for a movie which only touches on some more sensitive areas, while leaving the others, like the scene in which Queen was born and evolved in, including relationships with the likes of Bowie or Jackson, virtually untouched. That's one of my big regrets about this film. It was a unique story and I don't think the film does it justice, including the creative tension between Freddie the other three of them, almost reducing them to being a "wallpaper". Don't you think?
Anyway, amazed by the box office figures and the Globes, quite extraordinary indeed.
All the best.

Why did you post the same link twice? Spamming in the Queen section now, are you?

Great for Freddie and Queen! Long live them! I didn't like the movie but it's a good thing.

Actually, Sweet Caroline’s link had some really great pictures that I hadn’t seen yet. Thanks, SC!
My mother used to make my dresses when I was in high school, and that dress of Lucy’s really looks either vintage or from a vintage pattern and this is why: the sleeves! See all that fabric? I would guess 1978. Also the color of the gold fabric is more of a dark gold than what you would see today.
