  1. don't remember anything from the BP score so I'll pretend this is recognition for Community.
  2. Honestly Green Book winning screenplay is even more embarrassing than it winning Picture would be.
  3. glad for First Man. and hey it's the only one of these movies that doesn't/isn't gonna look like garbage years down the line so.
  4. someone editing wiki is a Favourite fan Best Director Yorgos Lanthimos – The Favourite Spike Lee – BlacKkKlansman Paweł Pawlikowski – Cold War Yorgos Lanthimos – The Favourite Alfonso Cuarón – Roma Adam McKay – Vice
  5. I don't get y'all. These were by far the two most likely Oscars for Black Panther to win. If it doesn't stop here that would be surprising.
  6. when they announce best actor Bale will come up on stage and intone that Malek is at... uh... an undisclosed... location
  7. I'm kind of irked Minding the Gap isn't the obvious frontrunner in documentary based simply on how good it is. It should be that category's Spider-Verse.
  8. If someone's reaction to The Favourite or Roma winning is eyeroll rather than "ok, it's their choice" and/or "interesting, I should check that out" it's their problem. That would show a clearer snobbery from that person towards non-mainstream cinema than it would from the Academy towards blockbusters.
  9. One could say the same for dozens if not hundreds of movies that have been nominated in the history of Oscars. ... so what other movies *should* it go to? Sure, we all have our ideal Best Picture line-ups in our heads, but at the end of the day we aren't the Academy and you could do so much worse than nominating what's universally acclaimed.
  10. No reason to make a movie now if it's not gonna win him Best Director and not enough time has passed yet, gotta take a decade off before making a run at John Ford's record.
  11. People can deserve to win an Oscar for one thing and be scorned for another thing.
  12. John C. Reilly should have a claim on every Oscar anyone wins for a music biopic.
  13. I could get being mad about Black Panther's nod if the other seven contenders were all acclaimed as immaculate all-time masterpieces but like it's better at being a superhero movie than half the other nominees are at being what they are.
  14. I was a very outside observer but Moviepass seemed to bolster moviegoing for smaller films for a few months in 2018, no? You need to get a system like that to work stable and long-term.
