  1. I like Widows a good deal but it 100% feels like a miniseries crammed into a movie. Makes it messy in a compelling way at times but just plain messy at others.
  2. Roma should've been left out on the basis of the end of the furniture store scene alone.
  3. I wasn't turned off by it but the fisheye was more distracting than anything. Felt like Lanthimos planting a flag on his first movie that was more about writing and acting than direction. Same with chapter headings though they were pretty funny.
  4. This smash zoom brought me more joy than some movies did in their entirety. CINEMA
  5. Very nice nod for Cold War there even if I'm not big on it overall
  6. Green Book is legitimately one of the worst 5 I've seen. Obviously "I've seen" is a massive qualifier because I don't purposely seek out garbage to watch. But I'd still have voted for it if it had bombed. btw Strangers 2 rules
  7. the 2020 funniest AND most valuable poster campaign starts here
  8. https://filmmakermagazine.com/106484-costume-designer-sandy-powell-on-dressing-yorgos-lanthimos-the-favourite/#.XFTv8VUzbIU a work you don't need to put any thought in, sure.
  9. Can you say how many ballots did you receive in the end?
  10. thanks Tele for the link. I've found my destiny
  11. 1. The Favourite 2. BlacKkKlansman 3. Black Panther 4. Roma 5. A Star Is Born 6. Green Book The Favourite is the only one even close to my own top 10 of the year. Vice isn't coming out here until Feb 21 but even if I see it I doubt I'll be a fan. No desire to see Rhapsody.
  12. I've seen over 100 eligible movies and I still ended up with like 7 actors to choose from. (Ended up leaving out Matt Dillon and Lakeith Stanfield. Didn't seriously consider anyone else.) I think 2014 was the last really strong year for lead male performances. Been a serious disbalance ever since.
  13. Loved McKenzie but it's another year where Actress is a bloodbath. Maybe I should've voted more strategically idk cause I know at least three of my picks 100% won't make the cut. But whatever.
  14. Only female cat I can remember off the top of my head is in Bolt. And I know Judy Garland voiced one in a '60s animated movie called Gay Purr-ee. One day I'll watch it.
  15. I don't care now I better have a "It was an abortion, T'Challa!" scene and Kaluuya getting killed and dumped in a lake in the end. All the Oscars guaranteed.
  16. Finally watched Ken Russell's The Devils. Jesus.
