I'll take him winning an Oscar every couple of years to make up for the fact they didn't reward him much sooner. On the other, other hand Deakins doing 1917 meant he couldn't shoot DUNC 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I guessed 12/16. Very happy with all four acting wins, first time in years they’ve got all four right, IMO. In much smaller categories, I’m happy for Bombshell and Rocketman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I have been a fan of Bong ever since I saw Memories of Murder , which is every bit as good as Zodiac. Well deserved wins for Parasite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope one of the effects of Parasite's amazing night is that it encourages people on this forum and elsewhere who aren't familiar with Bong's filmography to check out more of his movies. He's one of the best in the business. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) SMH at Irishman still being thought of as 'lower tier Scorcese', by the way. It was a perfectly understated way for him to cap his gangster oeuvre. Edited February 10, 2020 by Hatebox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop showing me rotten tomato scores, the terrible Babadook has 97% so the numbers dont mean shit Wake up on golden globes morning to see everyone posting about it. Wake up this morning and no-one is talking about the oscars. Parasite winning probably explains that. More people will end up watching and discussing Ricky Gervais' opening monologue than seeing last nights oscar winner.

titanic2187 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 2 hours ago, charlie Jatinder said: Basically because Oscars are Hollywood's award. Just keep it like that. When you give Oscars to a foreign film, you are signifying that this film is better than all films in the world. Now that could be true but problem is you are just awarding a one hyped foreign film while there are 10s of Foreign films every year better than Nominated/Winner Hollywood films. I don't think any of nominated film was better than Super Deluxe (Indian film) this year. There will be other Foreign language films as well. Going by your logic , the Hollywood box office number then should not be accessible to an Indian right? Gandhi, a film co-produced by British and India, shot in india, and featuring one of the biggest India historical moment, won Best Picture in 1982. Similar to Slumdog Millionaire (no Hollywood involvement) to certain extent. it is clear you have super different taste from the Academy, which for your info, have almost 100 Indian filmmaker in the list of Jury. And Oscar has been here for nearly a century, it is bound to have change to include more foreign-oriented talent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
