The Panda Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I watched the trailer again recently, sat so much better than the first time I watched it. Probably because Debussy is inspirational, but matching a Godzilla trailer to go with Debussy is just even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old farts will eat it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Yeah, I can see that same demo that voted for The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything, Hacksaw Ridge, and Darkest Hour going wild for Green Book as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, there’s like a 0.000001% chance I’m going to end up liking Green Book. The only point in me seeing it at this point is so I can trash it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 BP is coming. elitists still think it ain't gonna happen and they are in for a shock that shouldn't be a shock at all. Disney is campaigning the shit out of it, it has great narrative including that AMPAS has acknowledged that popular movies with high critical score should have bigger presence among nominees. And with super fluid Director field beyond Cooper/Cuaron, Coogler has a shot. Ditto Jordan in fluid Supporting Actor minus stable looking Ali/Grant/Elliott.

filmlover Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Nice to see Cynthia Erivo get some attention. She was definitely the MVP of Bad Times at the El Royale and was very good with what she was given in Widows. I’m starting to think Kidman is gonna get in at the Oscars over Foy tbh. Boy Erased is the kind of movie that gets at least one major nomination if nothing else at all (and Focus is the kind of studio that has enough firepower that they can make it happen - they managed to get Ruth Negga and Michael Shannon lone nominations for their respective movies two years ago), and her 2018 (Boy Erased, Aquaman, Destroyer) appears more impressive than Foy’s year of movie disappointments (Unsane, First Man, The Girl in the Spider’s Web), and it’s the movie that they are most likely to recognize.

YLF Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Has anyone seen green book? Is it as cringey as the trailers make it seem? I just can’t get myself to the theater to see it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLF Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Widows keeps getting snubbed lol. BP is still my favourite score of the year and most original to me. The supporting actress category is stacked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Also Golden Globe nominations are on Thursday. With how open some categories are this year I wouldn’t be surprised by some nominations like Topher Grace for BlacKkKlansman because that’s something they would do.

My mom thought it was the best movie she had seen all year though so I’m fully expecting that oldie crowd to push it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 30 minutes ago, MrPink said: Adam Driver or we riot I think he'll miss nomination if BKKK continues to perform as tepid with awards as it did so far. It seems that critics consider Green Book the important movie/movie about race relations and don't care to support another. Like, there can be only one or something. Also, his category has 3 almost locked contenders (Ali, Elliott, Grant) so 2 more spots could go virtually to anyone from stronger movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if Widows is getting shut out from critics it’s not the type of movie that’ll resurge with guilds buzz. Black Panther, A Star is Born and Poppins are the only three that underperforming with critics shouldn’t be an issue (and all three of them are doing fine right now). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
