Best Picture Predictions - 2019

[The Futurist]

Uniqueness of vision ?

 

These visions seem pretty banal & mundane to me.

 

 

Original, provocative subject matters ?

 

The best one by far.

 

 

Sure, Jan, you are so edgy, so edgy that you are in line with

 

the current propagandastaffel of the leftist circle jerk agenda.

 

So provocative & out of the box thinking !!!

as long as The Irishman doesn't win BP, all of these choices are good to excellent. 

Out of all those nominees, The Irishman deserves the win. I'm sure I'll even like Little Women than The Irishman but The Irishman still deserves the win.

I think it's gonna be hard for the Academy to have nominees in their lineup that don't deserve the win. 2019 is a stellar year for Best Picture candidates.

[SLAM!]

I'll say this. If I were in the awards marketing department at Amazon Studios, I would propose placing an emphasis on Honey Boy's campaign. Shia LaBeouf for Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay are becoming real possibilities. I would deem The Report and The Aeronauts as nonstarters, back Les Miserables and Invisible Life and One Child Nation generously for their respective categories, and I'd make sure Honey Boy has the best chance it could possibly have in those two categories. Honey Boy is showing up at many different precursors, and that gives me confidence.

[movieboner]

I'm 100% sure The Irishman is locked to win BP after seeing it.

[Rorschach]

I'm still not confident on if The Irishman will land a win for Picture... but if any film from Netflix this year is gonna give the company its first Best Picture win, I'd say Scorsese will be the one to deliver that win.

Considering how pretty much all BP lists have the same movies now, I feel like there will be at least two upsets that is in no one's lists. Last year, around the same time, I saw most lists having Beale Street, Widows, Can You Ever Forgive Me, First Man along with the ones that actually got nominated (except for BR and Black Panther). 

 

I'm hoping Knives Out get an original screenplay nod too. The 5th spot seems like a wild card.

i considered maybe Ford/Ferrari or Two Popes in that 9th slot instead of the farewell. i think those three are all probably equal. otherwise idk what else could be put there.

[Cmasterclay]

I think Two Popes has the best chance after the consensus top 7, the Darkest Hour crowd seems to be eating it up tbh. After that I have Joker, sad to say. 

 

After seeing Marriage Story I take back alot of what I say about it not being a potential winner. It has real passion + consensus possibility, it just suffers from not really being ABOUT anything big. (suffers in terms of Oscar prospects, not movie quality - the movie is the best of the year). Between that, Irishman, and 1917, I see three movies that would walk to a win if the Academy still voted like it did in 1995.

[Eric Quinn]

I dunno man, I feel like Knives Out has a lot better shot at Best Picture, especially after its opening. There's definitely a lot of passion for the movie with critics, and it feels like the industry does really like Rian Johnson. Maybe not a win, but I can see it edging out some of the lower rung stuff like FvF or The Farewell

I really hope for this but its been lacking a lot of buzz and I don't see it getting any nod except for Screenplay (which isn't enough for a BP award). I think the biggest problem is that I'm only hearing people call it a fun little whodunnit and not an actual awards contender. But anything could happen. Like I said, there could be 2 huge upsets and Knives Out could sneak in the same way Bohemian Rhapsody did last year (which only started to really get momentum from its Golden Globes win).

as much as I'd like to see it I don't think Knives Out will beat out Jojo Rabbit or OUATIH at the Comedy globes. the latter is even less likely to be beaten as the globes usually like to go with the more popular choice which is probably Tarantino.

which is more likely to happen: Parasite winning best picture while Scorsese wins director, OR The Irishman winning best picture while Bong gets Director?

The Irishman for Picture, Bong for Director.

I think Scorsese for Best Director, wong will likely to get best original screenplay. As for Best Picture, currently I am looking at Little WOMAN

Actually.....the first option. Can definitely see a world where Parasite gets the consensus votes to win Picture but Scorsese gets the number one votes to win Director. Can't really see a world where Irishman gets enough consensus love to win Picture but Marty still loses Director.

I just realized Thelma Schoonmaker will get the Editing record all to herself if she wins for The Irishman. I think it's gonna happen
