Michael* Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Strange, a best director nod for Pawlikowski, but no best picture nomination for Cold War. It was at least the equal of the five other films I've seen from that list and probably my favourite of 2018 (with Sorry To Bother You and Leave No Trace not far behind). Much as I like Yorgos Lanthimos, The Favourite left me fairly cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkjk Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Bradley Cooper missing out on a Best Director nomination seems odd, too. This is the first major award for which he wasn't nominated. That being said, I can't say who I would remove out of the other five to put him in. Just a guess, but I think Cold War has been overshadowed by Roma. It shouldn't happen that way, but it looks like that may be the problem. I don't think you have to worry about The Favourite winning. The Academy Awards are not known for giving recognition to comedies and I think The Favourite it too comedic to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkjk Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 My unneeded guesses at six winners: Roma Alfonso Cuarón Glenn Close Rami Malek Mahershala Ali Regina King (I am less certain on Roma and Regina King than I am on the others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Academy Awards are not known for giving recognition to comedies and I think The Favourite it too comedic to win. Perhaps even a little bit questionable for Olivia Colman to be nominated as leading actress, with Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz as supporting actresses, since all the parts were roughly about the same size. Still, I think it would be fair to say that Colman’s performance was probably the best of the three. Ethan Hawke missing out for best actor for First Reformed seems the biggest snub, although Bradley Cooper not being nominated comes close. Not that I was crazy about A Star Is Born, but it was still a surprising omission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Was Green Book really the best for you guys? I haven't seen any of these films. It seems like this year's show was heavily focused on Black history month- the pre-show was all blacks and other minorities. The subject of "Green Book" is right on the money.

There wasn't really a clear best this year, that happens some years. I thought Roma had the momentum and would win, but Green Book was a good choice.

It felt like all the nominees bar Green Book and Roma were rank outsiders from the start, so I suppose, in a two horse race between a traditionally released, crowd-pleasing Hollywood movie and a foreign language film on Netflix, the outcome wasn't too surprising. I personally thought Green Book was a good film, not a great one. I wouldn't be shocked if, in a few years' time, people react with surprise when they're reminded that it won, like they tend to do with Argo now.

jkjk Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 ^^ Some years a good movie wins, and some years a great movie loses. The quality is always going to vary from year to year. When Bohemian Rhapsody won some early awards, I was worried it was going to win Best Picture. That would have been particularly odd considering the average critics reviews.

jkjk Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I thought many of the speeches were good and heartfelt. I really liked Gaga and Olivia Colman. Olivia's win had to be the most unexpected, even she was shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie was basically the two of them for most of the movie but Ali gets a supporting nomination (and win) while Viggo gets the lead nomination. I don't think there are set rules for this. The studios campaign to split the actors between categories so two from the same movie are not against each other. That is likely how is was done with The Favourite and Green Book this year.

jkjk Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I didn't have anything else to post, but I saw a critic's take on the awards and he had some thoughts. Here are two: - Olivia Colman should not have been considered the Lead Actress because Emma Stone had the most screen time. - He didn't feel Rami Malek should have won because he didn't sing and the songs are such a big part of the movie and the part.

jkjk Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 92nd Academy Awards Film with multiple nominations: 11 - Joker 10 - 1917 The Irishman Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 6 - Jojo Rabbit Little Women Marriage Story Parasite 4 - Ford v Ferrari 3 - Bombshell Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker The Two Popes 2 - Harriet Honeyland Judy Pain and Glory Toy Story 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkjk Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 As Jojo Rabbit is probably my fav movie of the year, I'm glad it received six nominations, and especially the two for Taika Waititi. I want to say Great Gerwig was robbed of a Best Director nomination. The problem is you would have to remove someone to make room but there is no way the voters would have left out, for example, Scorsese.

Michael* Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 The academy should be flogged (figuratively, perhaps even literally) for the omission of Gerwig. While I was in the camp that liked Joker, they've given the nod to direction that was essentially Scorsese-lite, when the real Scorsese was already nominated. Overall though, it's been a wonderful year for film and this is a very strong field for best picture, so much so that last year's big winner would have struggled to make it onto the list of nominations. It would have been hard not to snub someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to state it as plainly as you because I am a Greta fan and there is always a chance my bias clouds my judgment, but since you said it I'm now sure it is a fact she was overlooked. 1 hour ago, Michael* said: Overall though, it's been a wonderful year for film and this is a very strong field for best picture, so much so that last year's big winner would have struggled to make it onto the list of nominations.

It's a much stronger group of films than last years group, some years are simply stronger (or weaker). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael* Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 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. I'll go Quentin Tarantino, Renee Zellweger, Joaquin Phoenix, Kathy Bates and Brad Pitt for the others.
