The only real "loser" of the night is The Irishman, which is now officially the biggest Oscar loser since American Hustle. I'd say deservedly but Pacino and Pesci were great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WittyUsername Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I’m happy for the crew that made Parasite. This is a pretty monumental moment for foreign language films. On another note, I’m not surprised that Joaquin Phoenix’ win is apparently generating some controversy, but the guy’s never won an Oscar before, despite being one of the most acclaimed actors still working today, so it makes sense that he would get one now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the worst Best Actor winner in years. I didn't care much for Bohemian Rhapsody, but Malek has put out some incredible work over the years. Notably, King Tut in the Night at the Museum films. He stole those films out from under Robin Williams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Grit (2010) also went 0-for-10, but The Color Purple and The Turning Point went 0-for-11. Not looking forward to the crowd who hates the Liberal Hollywood Oscars anyway being mad a non-English movie won Best Picture.

Darth Lehnsherr Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I had pretty much accepted that 1917 (which was great) was gonna win instead of Parasite. Just made my day this win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Academy did a nice job of spreading the awards around this year. Most of the big films picked up something. I'm down with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason people hate films like Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book and Joker so much and they project that hate on to all involved. It's an awful habit.

FilmBuff Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) My point still stands. Phoenix gave a better performance in Gladiator. Edited February 10, 2020 by FilmBuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 HOLY FUCK IT HAPPENED! So fucking happy for Parasite, and I didn't even have to sacrifice any predictions. This was my best year yet, 22/24 right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I am so happy for the Parasite!!! A great collective decision by Oscar. No wonder when people say Oscar is irrelevant, their claim never came true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Wins aside, this was not a good ceremony due to all the padding (even without a host!) and odd choices. The decision of having relatively fresh faces (George MacKay, Beanie Feldstein, Anthony Ramos, etc.) who seem poised to takeover the industry within the next few years introduce actual presenters was both a half-assed way of saying "say hello to the future A-list" and came across as a desperate attempt to address the diversity issues in the industry that have come up in recent weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
