The DiCaprio nomination imo is a Joke. I didn't see Pain and Glory so I won't say whether Banderas should be there or not, but Pryce or DiCaprio shoulda been replaced with Taron

Banderas is absolutely wonderful in Pain and Glory; he really creates a singular character and I've never seen him so good. It's real "actor's work", although not on the showy side. My favourite perf this year (along with Phoenix in Joker, Pesci in Irishman, Jeremy Strong in Succession and Jodie Comer in Season 2 of Killing Eve).

Also cool to see that Saoirse Ronan is now up to 4 nominations at just 25 years old. That romantic drama with Kate Winslet sounds like it'll extend it to 5 next year.

Everyone thought that of Mary Queen of Scots early on too but it ended up being kind of a nothing film in a busy category year. So I won't make predictions this far out, but I can safely expect No. 5 (and hopefully an actual win) at some point soon.

She's good but she makes boring choices

No she doesn't.

Brooklyn, The Seagull, Chesil Beach, Mary Queen of Scotts, LadyBird, Little Women, a festival of boredom.

She makes movies for old ladies. A niche that guarantees her awards nom, but zero risk.

I do think she's better than that.

Maybe you're just blind? Because that's clearly a correlation.

I'm not even going to bother explaining if you really can't read what I said.

Wow. I did not know that Americants spell it Ax. That's quite amusing actually.

We were talking about a correlation between an editing nod and a Best Picture win. If you were going on about correlation between Editing win and Best Picture win, that's your problem.

Look it up. 

 

As for J-Lo,  I didn't think she was that great in Hustlers.  She was good and it's the best performance of her acting career but was it a great performance?  Eh, I don't think it's a snub, really.

JOKER with another W. 11 noms all well deserved. Wow! DC fans eating good. Thank you Phoenix and Phillips for changing cinema! Of course the West is angry, but true film lovers know that this is the best news in Hollywood history.

 

Now onto 11 Oscars for DC. Keep hating you only feed this movie. Its truly unstopabble. First Venice. 1 billion. Then the globes. Now Oscars. Accolades speak for themselves. Undeniably one of the greatest films of our time.

A billion dollars and 11 nominations. WB must still be pinching themselves. 

All they have to do is to look at LOTR 3

I love this thread. Remeber when the media claimed that JOKER was toxic and would lead to mass shootings? Well the movie only led to memes and dancing. The only thing toxic about JOKER is the people who hate on the movie and, subsequently, are toxic towards the movie and its fans ("only incels like JOKER").

 

Ironic. This says a lot about our society.

How many times can the same people in one thread say "I didn't like this" and "this is undeserving"   I'm enjoying the meltdowns.

Love her (warning: slightly NSFW).

I was loving the energy she was serving throughout the whole announcement (especially when you consider it was around 5:30 LA time). Hopefully The Photograph and The Lovebirds (ironically both trailers were shown back-to-back at my Just Mercy showing yesterday) are good.

[DAJK]

I wanna be Zach Braff

 

never thought I'd say that lol

Can’t wait for this to happen again next year. Which will be hilarious when like the top 5 at the box office will be directed by women.
