It's totally not gonna be utterly obnoxious and moronic and irritating. The real meltdown will be if Black Panther actually misses in two days. Which actually doesn’t feel outside the realm of possibility now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Book has survived everything so far. It winning here over A Star is Born (when it wasn’t even that big of a crowdpleasing box office hit) is one of the more surprising twists of the season. It was my mom’s favorite movie of last year (and all the old people I know who’ve seen it similarly praise it to the high heavens) so, happy for my mom I guess. No kidding on that first point. Granted, BlacKkKlansman isn't as fresh or game-changing as Do the Right Thing, but it's still one of the best movies of the year (and a far more dynamic film than most wide release fare) and a damn sight better at exploring race relations than Green Book. I kinda had a feeling that Green Book wasn't going away after seeing it back in November (the audience of olds I saw it with loved it, and my parents - who have actually seen quite a few of the movies in the running for a change - put it right up there with A Star Is Born), but I didn't see it being a serious contender for the win. It's especially baffling that we're looking at Green Book as a prospective winner after seeing Moonlight and The Shape of Water take the top prize in the last two years. Definitely a head-scratcher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Guilds picks this year feel like stuff they would have gone for a decade ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Green Book winning Best Picture really does feel like a move on behalf of those voters who propelled The King’s Speech to victory almost a decade ago to announce “we’re still alive!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 first post-noms predictions: Picture: Roma Director: Alfonso Cuaron Actor: Rami Malek (tho bale is a serious threat since VICE pretty much maxed out its nomination potential. see who wins the SAG award) Actress: Glenn Close Supp. Actor: Mahershala Ali Supp. Actress: Amy Adams Original Screenplay: The Favourite Adapted Screenplay: BlacKkKlansman Animated: Spider-Verse Foreign: Roma Doc: RBG (would be a bad win but feel like non-doc branch voters are gonna be lazy here) Cinematography: Roma Costumes: The Favourite Editing: Bohemian Rhapsody Make-Up: Vice Original Score: If Beale Street Could Talk (maybe black panther) Original Song: Shallow Production Design: Black Panther Sound Editing: First Man Sound Mixing: Bohemian Rhapsody Visual Effects: Avengers: Infinity War so that's 4 for roma, 3 for borap, 2 for vice and the favourite.

Valonqar Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Oscar trivia: If Ali wins, it'll be for playing a gay character again. I think he's the only actor who got nominated twice for playing a gay character too. Congrats to @CoolioD1 for sticking with BKKK. JDW snub aside , the movie scored BP/BD/BE/BAS and it's the only one that has that and SAG Ensemble nom in the bag. Now it's all on Focus to play its cards right.

I'm genuinely curious what you get out of going all in on awards season stuff when you can't even be bothered to watch the movies in question. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
