Do you not think that having an opinion on who should win before the year is over and you have seen all the movie disqualify it automatically ? At least you do not even try to hide your giant bias. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorschach Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Black Panther is a fun movie and all (I'd give it an 8/10 personally) and I wouldn't be shocked if it is nominated for Best Picture but in all honesty, it's chances of winning are pretty damn small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if BP isn't as good as TDK? newsflash: no SH is ever going to be as good as TDK. That's Citizen Kane of SH movies yet AMPAS had no problem awarding dramas that weren't even worthy of polishing Citizen Kane's shoes. BP checks all boxes of a trendy Picture winner such as high MC score and importance/progressiveness, but it's also actually seen by masses and almost universally loved. And since AMPAS loves messages, isn't an all-black cast + Martin Freeman 1.3 billion-grossing blockbuster a big message in itself, way bigger than some indie that few people saw? Moreover, this year has several contenders directed by black directors. AMPAS cannot bail out of awarding one forever, and IMO, the director who will make history should be an African American, sorry Steve McQueen. Oscars are still predominantly American thing and emotional and narrative value would be much stronger if the winner is an American, not a Brit or other foreigner. There are Coogler, Lee and Jenkins. I choose Coogler because his filmography is impeccable, a perfect blend of critical acclaim and populism, and his movie is groundbreaking in that it's #3 highest grossing movie domestically (also see paragraph 2 for more details). I honestly don't think this would be a mistake, quite the contrary, it would be a mistake if the winner was something else. Cause fuck them indie movies, amirite?

Webslinger Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I know Warner's doing it primarily because they must feel good about the film's ability to compete, but it's good to hear that A Star Is Born isn't category frauding its way into Musical/Comedy. There's plenty of music in it, but no one's mistaking it for a traditional musical nor a comedy - especially not the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 The woes of Annapurna have me concerned about the campaigns for Beale Street and Vice. Although I guess the worst case scenario for the latter is that it ends up another The Post/Selma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I’m thinking First Man is going to turn into a Steve Jobs like player, a few nominations but ultimately overlooked. Its BO is only looking to be okay at best, and its reviews are good but not glowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 After seeing First Man, I'll be very surprised if either Gosling or Foy misses even if the movie were to miss a Best Picture nom (especially with how dead their categories are). Foy in particular has a number of really good "clip" moments they can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
