Vegetable posted:I liked it. It was engaging all the way through. That's what most of the folks thought too. Hardly groundbreaking stuff, but the Oscars hardly reward that kind of thing (how in the fuckbucket did Carol fail to be nominated for Best Picture or Best Directing last year?) I saw a lot of foreign films this year so it was lovely to see only two of them end up with nominations (The Salesman and Toni Erdmann, three if you count best actress for Elle which deserves to win) and yeah the Handmaiden is up there too but ultimately I would give it to Toni Erdmann anyway. Just a very likeable movie that never wastes its 3 hours and manages its characters very deftly without making them caricatures or overly sentimental which a Hollywood remake would most certainly do. Builds up to an absurd comedy setpiece which would also be the hardest I've laughed at any movie this year if I hadn't also seen The Greasy Strangler. (edit: there's a scene about halfway through that got spontaneous applause at Cannes and at my screening. I never clap at movies unless someone from the movie is there but I will say that it deserved it) I also saw Moonlight back in September and was kind of surprised to see how big it got, I thought it was solid but found the third act kind of underwhelming. Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Paterson I think are both the kind of gentle comedies that don't get enough attention for any awards. I'd also throw Swiss Army Man in there too. The two best movies I saw this year that are getting zero recognition anywhere are American Honey and the much more divisive Personal Shopper. More nods for Silence would have been nice too but ultimately I'm not surprised. Cacator fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Jan 25, 2017 |

Shageletic posted:There's sound mixing I guess but that doesn't qualify, right? The music on Arrival was perfect and unique. I saw an article saying Arrival was disqualified for some bullshit reason about its use of a classical piece that stupid audience members would think was part of the original score.

Toni Erdmann deserved to win but I am no way surprised that Salesman won because of politics.

I haven't seen Jackie but Mica Levi being nominated is p. cool. The Under the Skin score was great.

The Lobster was my second favourite movie I saw in 2015! (Green Room was third)

The short story Arrival is based in is my favourite short story to the extent that I was slightly underwhelmed by the movie so I think my total feelings about that not winning end up to ambivalence.

I'll be on record as saying that Matt Damon jokes will never get old.

DC Murderverse posted:I'll second this. Kimmel was probably right in the middle as a host, but his running joke fits perfectly with the Oscars. This is also a thing that happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP4d9YtzkXk
