By rodeoclown Go To PostIs Bohemian Rhapsody just getting these nominations because people really like listening to Queen?
It's a whitewashed biopic. Those get automatic Oscar nominations.
My hot take is that Cold War was really underwhelming.
Gyllenhall deserved to win an Oscar for his line-reading of "BOY! BOY! BOY!"

Well obviously the Academy knows better. Vice only did merely ok.
I think Vice is pretty solid, but I'm surprised to see it in basically every major category. Like, Sam Rockwell has three scenes in that movie, maybe, but got a nod for supporting actor? Okay.
Burn the Academy down
How Black Panther has a nom when stuff like YWNRH, First Reformed and The Rider don't is a damn joooooke.

I liked Black Panther and I respect and understand its cultural significance but it wasn't even the best film released last year featuring Black Panther

i see it the same way. don't care that it got a nod and i'm happy for it but i thought it was okay at best.

She won Best Supporting Actor.
That was a weird award season.

These guys were not
By RATHasReturned Go To PostI'll keep repeating it until proven wrong, Black Panther is gonna get nominated for a lot of categories that it shouldn't. It's the large box office movie for the Academy and their voters to show how hip (woke) they are and an opportunity to laud it get people talking.
These guys were not
By reilo Go To PostWhat?
It's not going to get a single nomination LOL
By FligureSkatingFan Go To PostIf it's remembered at all during awards season a year from now, it'll get a nomination - not a win - in something like costume design or adapted screenplay.
The academy will be 'woke' about something else.
By Apollo Go To PostBP might get a costume nod and original song but at the end of the day it’s a fucking dumb action movie with a really bad third act. Get Out is there because the production company pushed it like crazy and it’s a tightly told good story. Marvel isn’t going to push shit.
By Moris Go To PostDon't expect BP to get Oscar noms, don't do that to yourself.
Saw Stan & Ollie at the cinema yesterday. Must say, impressed me a lot. Except for having seen the old footage and knowing them as cinema legends I didn't know all that much about their story. So that was already pretty interesting for starters. The acting really tilted it to another level though. Especially John C. Reilly blew me out of the water with his Oliver Hardy performance. If you wouldn't know he's the guy acting you'd probably wouldn't recognize him. Definitely recommended to see!
By Freewheelin Go To Postlol pretty weak year for Oscar nomsI suspect the voters see Fallout as "just" an action movie. Tom Cruise won't get his due until he's in his 70s, probably.
Disappointed that MI didn't get any noms
At least we have two back-to-back Mission Impossible films coming in 21 and 22, friend.
I saw someone I respect for their film and TV criticism tweet their disappointment that Black Panther didn't get a visual effects nomination. I just had to keep scrolling.

brexit wasnt happening, trump wasnt happening, the nomiations werent happening. what is next slaent. will dreams turn out to be amazing? we will never shut sy up. imo slaent is turning into a fake news media.

I just had to keep scrolling.He either watched a DVD screener of the movie or is blind because the CGI in Black Panther is atrocious at times in 4K.
It's amazing that Black Panther isn't even a Top 3 Marvel movie and Marvel movies aren't even Top 30 movies year in and year out.
By Wahabipapangus Go To Postpolar is decentYea didn't mind it at all. Gratuitously violent but besides that was a decent turn off your brain type film. It should be out on Netflix on Friday for everyone who isn't a filthy pirate.
Also grabbed the new Robin Hood. Will watch tonight.
Oscar best picture preferential voting means movies like Black Panther or Green Book - that people LIKED - will do better than films like You were never really here, which might be divisive.
Only seen BlacKkKlansman (7/10), Black Panther (5/10), Roma (8/10) and A Star is Born (8/10) out ot the nominees. Weak noms on paper tho. No First Reformed is criminal m8

I’m more upset that better movies about black culture didn’t get nominated
Green Book winning is going to be hilarious

Black Panther with Production Design, Costume and Sound Mixing noms is one of the "best" movies of the year. Beale Street had Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress apparently isn't.
Makes 0 sense to me.

If Beale Street not getting a cinematography nomination is fucking theft. It’s the most beautiful movie I have seen in years.
The Academy is dumb lmao
Caught it last night. The most romantic thing I've seen in ages.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostHe either watched a DVD screener of the movie or is blind because the CGI in Black Panther is atrocious at times in 4K.She definitely saw it at least once in the theaters, however it is known that she watches a lot of things on a laptop or smallish TV. The CGI was bad in the cinema and wildly noticeable on the regular Blu-ray.
Fuck First Reformed btw. Happy that it Ethan and the director didn't get nominated.
ROMA is a boring story of something that had never been portrayed on film before. And it was beautifully shot.
It has merits because of the topic and protagonist, but story-wise was shit and very un-Cuarón.

Paddington 2 was 2017 wasnt it?
But I did just watch it at work the other day, enjoyed it a lot.

Inside Llewyn Davis is an example of a "normal life story" kind of thing that is actually entertaining.

Nothing that happens in Llewyn Davis is that normal. Except that a musician has no money.
The road trip, the fact he is a musician in the first place, being brought in to record a single... how is that normal m8

Kind of disappointing that Thom Yorke didn't get a nomination for the Suspiria score, Suspirium is a beautiful track.

you need a lot of money
being in the middle of the Tlatelolco massacre
having your boyfriend/father of your child being part of a paramilitar group
etc
The story could have been a lot more entraining.
Has anyone watched Abducted In Plain Sight on netflix?
Its a documentary
I dont know if ive seen anything more bizarre(excluding the countless efukt vids I've watched)
