90th Annual Academy Awards

Wonder Woman

with movie such as Blade Runner 2049 in the mix...

 

[Boom]

Gary you have to

Not sweating it one bit. For what it's worth, it's a good call. Darkest Hour is not one of the top 10 best films of the year. Not even close. Oldman, however, does deliver the best performance of the year that I've seen so far. Quite comfortably.

He'll probably lose the Golden Globe. I expect he'll win SAG (this type of performance is more their speed, and they often cater to the "overdue" narrative), and there is absolutely no way he loses BAFTA. SAG/BAFTA have members that also vote on the Oscars. The HFPA does not. He'd have to lose GG and SAG for me to start doubting him.

Besides, him winning the Oscar without his film receiving a Best Picture nomination would just make the reactions from Chalamet's Twitter mob that much better.

I loved that someone on AW said today "we ALL want Timmy to win"

Oh spare me the theatrics over Wonder Woman being nominated for things. You'll all survive.

 

[Mysteryman]

Come on Logan get in, come on CMBYN miss out :P

Whats wrong with both of them getting in?

 

[harlequinade]

Whats wrong with both of them getting in?

nothing wrong. But I loved Logan and CMBYN is insanely overrated. Also its stans are hilarious.

Just saw Detroit last night and am surprised it's not getting more award love

I'm guessing because that movie was hard to watch. Will Poulter I was expecting to have a bunch of awards buzz behind him but I think he actually played a racist too well.

I mean 12 Years a Slave was "too hard" to watch and Michael Fassbender played a racist a little "too well" also

On another note, the Mudbound shutout is ridiculous too.

Side note, The Last King of Scotland should've had a Best Picture nomination.

Good point. I think with Detroit, it feels like that exact thing could happen today. And maybe that's too close to home?

Re: Mudbound. I agree. Netflix put more effort into promoting Bright than they did Mudbound. I'm still shocked none of the male actors in that film are getting buzz for supporting.

That could be it. But damn it has no major award love. It has been nominated for some of the black awards and then Poulter was nominated for some Texas critic thing for best villain.

With Mudbound, I mean I get it. Bright has way more potential to be big than something like Mudbound so of course they promote it more. I think the Netflix thing is gonna change when The Irishman comes out late this year or 2019. No way they shut out Scorsese's return the the gangster genre with De Niro, Pesci, Pacino in the fold.
And I agree about the acting. But the technical stuff to. Cinematography was crazy good.

In the last couple of weeks I watched a couple of the award centric movies. Just some scattered thoughts

-Call Me By Your Name was good, but way too long. I liked it though. Acting noms would be well deserved. There were some real weirdo parts in that movie though that I guess they were trying to play off as romantic. Obviously the [BLACKOUT]peach scene, then there was when Elio vomited and Hammer's character kissed him like a little bit after, and then the scene where Elio put's Hammer's shorts on his head and starts arching his back and humping the air.[/BLACKOUT] The movie was really romantic, but moments like that took me out and just made think this "ew." Apparently in the book it's even weirder with the characters watching each other take a dump.

-Lady Bird is fine. I don't get the love for it. I said it in another thread, I feel like Edge of Seventeen did the same thing last year only much better.

Hopefully gonna see Three Billboards... today or tomorrow. Gonna watch The Big Sick tonight. But I have to wait another week before I Tonya and The Post come out around me. I'll probably skip The Darkest Hour because I just don't feel like watching a dry biopic. Also probably will skip The Shape of Water because that just looks like a weirdo movie to me.

I've already seen Get Out (seen it, own the Blu Ray), Dunkirk (really disliked it), The Disaster Artist (loved it)

Movies I think should be getting more love are Detroit (Best Picture and Will Poulter for Best Supporting actor), Mudbound (Best Picture, Best Actor Garrett Hedlund and Jason Mitchell, Best Actress: Carey Mulligan, Best Director and Best Cinematography), Girls Trip (Best Supporting Actress: Tiffany Haddish. If Melissa McCarthy can be nominated for Bridesmaids I don't see why Haddish can't) Blade Runner 2049 (Best Picture), War of the Planet of the Apes (Best picture), Logan, and Wind River (Best original screenplay, best cinematography, and Best Picture)

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Right or wrong. Sticking to my guns.

Three Billboards wins Best Picture and Christopher Nolan wins Best Director at the Oscars.

It's no different than rolling my eyes over Call Me by Your Name's nominations.

Wait, what?

If that happened in the film stans would probably call it poetic or something

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Glad to see I wasn't the only person bored to tears with Call Me By Your Name.

 

[harlequinade]

Further, Guadagnino frequently zigs when the source material compels him to zag. A scene in the book in which Oliver and Elio **** in front of each other, reifying their bond

...ew.

 

[lime]

I wasn't bored with the movie but some scenes were disgusting for a straight person to watch.

 

[Kane52630]

 

[harlequinade]

I think someone kissing another person right after they puked is disgusting no matter the sexuality of the characters or the person watching.
