Shape of Water was fine but just feels weird that it's the Best Picture. Not sure it would even break my top 10 for the year. Also I get that Meryl Streep is a great actress but that movie sucked and the role wasn't as big a deal as others. Kristen Stewart should have been nominated and for some reason keeps getting snubbed. I guess my issue with the Oscars is they zero in on like 5 movies and forget everything else exists.

Niwrad posted:Shape of Water was fine but just feels weird that it's the Best Picture. Not sure it would even break my top 10 for the year. I mean, it certainly isn't the best FILM of the year (my picks were Phantom Thread, mother!, Dunkirk, and Blade Runner), but if you look at the Best Picture category (a producer's award) I think it was obvious from moment one, and a lot of people have been deluding themselves if they thought that it didn't have the qualities voters look for. I walked out of that film in December and said to myself "that's winning Best Picture." It's a nice, pretty and somewhat timely film made by a relative outsider that did gangbusters at the Specialty Box Office, and will continue to sell. The things that were going against Shape winning Best Picture were - the film subtly depicts female masturbation (which is or has been taboo forever) - the film has some casual, relatively tasteful nudity - the film carries a very subtle critique of the corporate/military industrial complex diseased mindset, but it's a fairly naive/safe critique That's it. Shape literally ticks every other box of acceptability for narrative storytelling. If you don't believe me, take a look at the history of Best Picture category and see that most legit legendary films over the last century didn't even get NOMINATED https://www.avclub.com/do-the-wrong-thing-90-years-90-movies-that-should-hav-1823328066 Le Saboteur posted:The snubs in the In Memorium are kind of loving egregious this year...Tobe Hooper. loving OUCH.

https://twitter.com/RightWingWatch/status/971809897607303168?s=20quote:“The Academy Award ceremonies this week provided the best film and best director Oscar to a violation of the worst possible sexual sin mentioned in Leviticus chapter 18. Maybe I’ll just leave it there, I don’t want to defile the ears of my listeners. But this was another milestone in the moral degradation of Hollywood and the nation itself. What it did was it presented the ultimate sexual depravity—and, again, I don’t want anyone thinking what this is—but the ultimate sexual depravity as presented in Leviticus 18 is presented in this movie as a tender and romantic and a beautiful thing.

More proof that people on the far right have zero imagination and absolutely no capacity for reading film as anything but literal. Also hilarious that of all things, God will smite the country over a loving movie, rather than none of the current atrocities our government is committing on a daily basis.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:That's it. Shape literally ticks every other box of acceptability for narrative storytelling. If you don't believe me, take a look at the history of Best Picture category and see that most legit legendary films over the last century didn't even get NOMINATED In general I think the list of nominations was fine. In my perfect world without consideration for categories, the nominees would have been: Phantom Thread Three Billboards Shape of Water Get Out Dunkirk The Florida Project Bladerunner 2049 A Fantastic Woman Last Men in Aleppo Last Men in Aleppo is the most important movie of the year and Icarus beating it is absolutely disgusting. Last Men in Aleppo is a living artifact of there being truly and unequivocally good people in our world, and how the world grinds them down. It's one of those documentaries like The Act of Killing and Harlan County that really act more like capsules of a greater truth about humanity. But the categorization of the Oscars makes it hard for docs and foreign films which Last Men In Aleppo is both. Florida Project is a beautiful movie and deserved a best actress nomination and probably a directorial nomination. But I think it's still a messy film, and understandable for why it wouldn't have ultimately won. Bladerunner 2049 deserved a nomination on the merit of being a well-made movie, but I think it's very fair to say that Shape of Water, Three Billboards, and Get Out were more culturally relevant films. In short, yeah, the Oscar list could have been better, but not by much. Outside of The Florida Project, I think it's understandable why the other three nominees I wish were up there weren't there. And even then, I get why The Florida Project wouldn't have won. An incredibly well-made erotic Creature from the Black Lagoon fan film (And let us be clear, there is very little to not make us just assume that the monster in the film is literally the Creature from the Black Lagoon) directed by the director of Blade II and staring as its romantic lead an actress over 40 who is very rarely portrayed as beautiful or sexy in films being allowed to be beautiful and sexy while also being very blunt and direct about female sexuality won Best Picture of the year. I think the goalpost shifting to make it seem like some safe choice is a little silly.

Timeless Appeal posted:I think the goalpost shifting to make it seem like some safe choice is a little silly. I dunno, I thought that about it going in, but then the fact it's basically just a love letter to the golden age of Hollywood completely turned me around on it not being a 'safe choice'. It annoyed me because it actually felt like pandering to the selection committee to me. It didn't really seem to say much with it or have much bearing on the plot. I was also pretty miffed, that the first thing I ever saw about the movie at all (hadn't heard of it, didn't know what I was being shown at all) was a teaser trailer, that gave away the entire plot. I thought, "That looked great, but I wish I hadn't just seen the entire film". And, I had. The entire film. I think possibly it missed out her Neighbour's subplot? Even still, there wasn't a single surprise throughout the entire movie, other than the above, which wasn't a pleasant one. Which isn't to say it wasn't fantastic, it absolutely was. But... Eh. It was 'Oscar Movie' fantastic.

Hey man, I thought Phantom Thread, The Square, and Killing of a Sacred Deer were very very close to that top slot, (also Blade Runner and CMBYN were good) but no movie defied my expectations more in 2017 than mother! It was an awesome theater experience for me and I think it will be remembered long after films like Darkest Hour, Shape of Water, and Three Billboards fade from the public consciousness. It's the first film in a decade or more that I felt immediately qualified for late-night cult theater status, and the things it has to say about our culture and our world are both timely, uncomfortable and universal. I'm obviously an enormous champion for mother! and if that leads you to discount my entire perspective on current and classic film, well, then so be it...
