I'm going on the Klansman train. Having an editing nom over Roma is pretty big imo

Blackkklansman seem to be a better choice in the preferential system now, english/racial relation + traditional theatrical distribution 

[Morieris]

Also oh @ no CRA for costumes.

[Webslinger]

BlacKkKlansman, The Favourite, and Vice all lined up Picture-Director-Editing nominations, which is almost always part of the path to Best Picture. Just sayin'.

Black Panther, Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book getting nominations is pretty crazy. The weakest film nominated last year is still way better than the three of these

It’s definitely my least favorite line-up of nominees since the Best Picture expansion occurred.

[CoolioD1]

also buster scruggs and first reformed in screenplay hell yeah. willem dafoe getting nominated for a movie that doesn't exist hell yeah.

[FantasticBeasts]

All the way on The Favourite train. Best movie of 2018 and it's not close. Pull that upset.

I think the weakest film last year was Darkest Hour.

Why do Awards hate Toni Collette so much

[titanic2187]

Black panther is the post of 91st oscar, no director/no screenplay nomination, but still managed to sneak in thanks to social relevancy. 

[filmlover]

Updated the first post with all the nominees.

[CoolioD1]

paramount did better this year. last year they were the first major studio in twenty years to get zero nominations and this year they got... a sound editing nomination for A Quiet Place.

[Avatree]

How in the fuck has They Shall Not Grow Old (the best film of the year & inarguably one of the most important docs ever, making history) missed a documentary nomination?

It was ineligible.

[Cap]

WHAT. THE. How did “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” get snubbed?!!  

 

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[Reddroast]

Just saw the full list here are my thoughts

 

Im really surprised at all the nominations Roma got. 

BP and BR are getting Getting best picture is really just for the ratings

Sam Rockwell got in!

 

As for the front runners for best picture here is who i have

Black Kkklandsman

The favorite

Green book (oh boy not good news)

Vice.

[Webslinger]

Yeah, Won't You Be My Neighbor? is one of the most baffling snubs after how well it had done in the awards season lead-up and its relatively large box office gross. It felt like a slam dunk, and yet it came up empty-handed.

[Alli]

so who's gonna win Best Actor?  Bradlety cooper, right?
