Honestly of all the films nominated for best picture I feel decidedly lukewarm towards 1917, although admittedly it's not really my preferred genre. I would still consider it the heavy favourite to win big here, though.

 

With the newer voting rules on Best Picture, the winning film doesn't always have to be the most loved, but maybe it's more important it's not disliked. I think that's what happened with Green Book. Maybe it wasn't the film with the most first-placed votes, but voters liked it enough that it wasn't too low on their lists.

There's a very good chance it pans out exactly like that. The subject matter being pure Oscar fodder shouldn't hurt its chances either.

 

I found it vaguely reminiscent of The Revenant where at a certain point, it becomes more concerned with how the film is made than what it's actually making, and of course, you should always be watching the story first and foremost. It'll clean up in the technical categories though and deservedly so.

Random thoughts:

- Glad I was wrong on Best Picture and Director. Parasite probably deserved both, I guess I didn't think it would happen.

- Glad for Taika Waititi (wish he won more)

- Liked the speeches from Laura Dern, where she talked about her parents, and three other speeches I liked in general because the winners were really shocked and excited Hildur Guðnadóttir, Bong Joon-ho and someone else I can't remember now (should have posted when it happened).

The year's actual best picture winning best picture. One for the books, as they say. :o

 

Joker deserved best actor and best score, and that's what it got. I can only think of Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro as Vito Corleone in The Godfather for another example of two different actors winning after playing the same character, although Phoenix and Heath Ledger starred in unconnected films, of course.

 

Not that I dislike Laura Dern, but I'm not sure I understand all the praise for her performance in Marriage Story. It was a relatively small role and one she could probably have done standing on her head.

One can never fully count on the Academy’s taste aligning with that of the critics, but Nomadland was the best reviewed film of the year and probably my favourite from the nominations I've seen so far.

 

I'll go Chloé Zhao, Riz Ahmed, Frances McDormand, Daniel Kaluuya and Yuh-Jung Youn for the others.

The voters agreed with you about Nomadland.

I should probably have added that I've only seen four out of the eight films nominated so far. :rofl:

 

Promising Young Woman is an absolute blast, by far the most purely entertaining of the best picture field, but Nomadland is the best thing I've seen in quite some time. Oddly although I was really jacked for Sound of Metal, it struck me as a fairly "by the book" film, albeit with great work by Riz Ahmed as well as brilliant sound design.

 

Were you rooting for anyone in particular?

Not really rooting. One thing I didn't want to see happen was Chloé Zhao losing for directing after winning every award leading up to the Oscars.

Honestly, I thought most of the frontrunners were good choices and well deserving of their expected wins. However with Supporting Actor seemingly up in the air, coupled with the fact that I fondly recall the Alligator Man episode of Atlanta on a virtual daily basis, I will admit to pulling for Lakeith Stanfield. :laugh:
