baumer Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 3 hours ago, WrathOfHan said: Yeah, SOW has this locked up IMO. We already know 3B is divisive, but missing a directing nom here will sure as fuck hurt it in preferential voting Yep, a movie about bestiality will win best picture. This makes sense and the academy can add it to their terrific list of other films about silent era of movies with speaking parts, a story about Shakespeare and falling in love with him, a horrible grade Z movie about a gay black man growing up in a violent world and so many other horrible best picture winners. I'd love to see Get Out win it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the last minute Franco controversy, were they really that scared of another #OscarsSoWhite backlash that they had to nominate him for that turd? wait what , Kaluuya is white ?

filmlover Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yeah, that Best Director miss for Three Billboards is big. I think The Shape of Water is gonna be the one that emerges the winner. It actually would make for a worthy one this year (female-led, no one really has any problems with it, etc.). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraken Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Happy for SoW (my personal fave among BP nominees), Logan () and my 2017 fave: BR2049. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The Phantom Thread lol. I've read and heard from some that it's about the most boring film ever made. But anything with DDL has to get oscar love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithil Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The BD category is great, but damn that Animated section is woeful. The Boss Baby and Ferdinand? Come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yeah, I think the directing snub is big for TB unless it pulls an Argo. If Greta or Peele pull a surprise DGA win then there’s a race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Conduct aside I don't mind maybe the greatest actor ever giving a good performance in a meh film making it over James Franco doing a mildly disappointing SNL sketch version of Tommy Wiseau. Oldman doing his Mike Myers thing is the real bad part of that category, and he's winning. Has anyone dropped a "Darkest Hour is pretty good but Oldman is bad in it" hot take yet? Because I'm doing it. Also, hell yea PTA and Jordan Peele. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because she was a new name in a popular film. She flubbed the nominees so many times though, I questioned why they hired her in the first place.

No, I don't think that was the reason, unless Kaluuya is simply extremely tanned. More likely Franco's recent allegations derailed him.

Hatebox Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 You'd have to drag me to see Darkest Hour but as a pseudo lifetime achievement award I guess I'd be ok with Oldman winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
