The Oscars always pick the same type of film. Oscar films tend to be biographical dramas and feature liberal causes, down-trodden types fighting against prejudice/impairment. They also like a bit of the olde Holocaust do the Oscars. Nothing gets the Oscars hornier than a gas chamber of dying people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see Phantom Thread, but have only seen Dunkirk and Get Out. Get Out was fine, but it's hardly a classic. It being hyped as political relevant in terms of US politics ignores the fact that it's just a better than average, but not very interesting horror film. Very predictable and a little too similar to The Stepford Wives. Dunkirk though is a brilliant film made for the big screen and loud speakers, where the immersion is probably lost drastically if you're not watching it in the Cinema. I doubt it'll win.

Silent Jay Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I thought Dunkirk was extremely boring. But it's obviously the better one in this batch of movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Rose Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Haven't seen any of them except for Get Out (why is this nominated??) but I hope Gary Oldman wins Best Actor, simply for every other role he has ever played. He is a master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Gary Oldman, but not a good year to go up against DDL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Get Out is a fine genre entry, though the motivations of the white people don’t really make sense. Lady Bird is lovely but...slight. Completely repelled by Three Billboards. Really not my year. 😂 I just hope Janney takes Best Supporting Actress and The Shape of Water upsets Billboards streak.

appetite4illusions Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Despite the fact that Daniel Day Lewis is up for an award and it's his last film, there's nothing remarkable about his performance in Phantom Thread. The character might be memorable, but his performance is understated. It's not what one would call one of his "crackerjack" performances. Oldman is my favorite actor and for his sake I hope he wins, but it's more of a prosthetic marvel than the greatest role he's ever been in. Plus, he's got his politics forever working against him.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Stopped watching these award shows years ago. I never see any of the nominated movies. I did see Get Out which was good, but I don't think is really award material, but what do I know? Now with the whole women's movement, there will be more speeches about rights and shit and I'm actually tired of hearing about it. My mom fought for women's rights in the 60's and I guess nothing changed in 60 years. Hope it works this time. Anyway, whatever. It all seems to be about what people are wearing more than the awards now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a master. ha ha I said the same thing. Maybe next year Black Panther will be nominated. it seems the academy is just voting for movies with black actors and directors just so they don't have to hear people complain again. There have been plenty of movies with black actors who were Oscar worthy but never got nominated. It's all Hollywood bullshit. Honestly, why should any of us give a shit? It just means more money for the actors that win and then it seems the women get shitty roles after they win. Why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 With that mentality, why watch anything? Seriously lol. I thought Get Out was great. Great performances, originality, and extremely well directed, especially for a first-time director. While I’ll agree to a point that there will certainly be politically driven speeches relating to obvious politics and the women’s movement, there’s an obvious reason that it’s still being discussed in this day and age, and that’s because the issues everyone is tired of hearing about are issues that haven’t been resolved after 60 years, or took way too long to be addressed in the first place. So cry about hearing it all you want, but it all happens for a reason and ultimately the greater good, in some respect. Anyway, I’ll be seeing The Shape of Water tomorrow. @Angelica You didn’t like Three Billboards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Either the black guy or the woman will win. Seeing a woman has already won, it will be the black guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I was happy with the Moonlight win, would have been happy with La La Land, too, but I was unbelievably cranky when Birdman won in 2015; my least favourite Best Picture winner since Crash.

Estranged Reality Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's hard for me to get remotely excited about the Oscars anymore -- but Blade Runner 2049 was absolutely snubbed. Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Ford in his best performance in decades) and Best Original Score should have been lock-ins. The soundtrack is a monumental feat considering it lived up to the work of Vangelis' original score and that one is considered one of the all-time great masterpieces of film scoring. I was really skeptical that Zimmer could pull it off, but he did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to watch Call Me By Your Name two different times and couldn’t get into it, and honestly, won’t be trying to watch it again. I don’t think it was necessarily bad, from what I did watch, albeit seeming pretentious. Oh well. Will hopefully be seeing Phantom Thread tomorrow, then I have to see Darkest Hour and Lady Bird.
