It's the 2019 Oscars! There is a Google form to fill out your Oscar ballot: https://goo.gl/forms/ZZ5z4tVBNHN2v3DJ2 I'll work with mods to see that there is some sort of reward for winning (or getting the tying score). I think usually it is a free av. The form is currently collecting emails so that I don't have to do tally work inside the thread (I can apply the correct answers later and the scoring will sort itself out and send you your final score, which I will also post a leaderboard for when we're all wrapped up). If there is some big problem with this, it'll get worked on. Answers will be accepted before 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, February 24. Let's talk about Oscar news, history, scuttlebutt, snubs, and so forth. Your nominees: Best Picture Black Panther BlackKklansman Bohemian Rhapsody The Favourite Green Book Roma A Star Is Born Vice Best Actress Yalitza Aparicio, Roma Glenn Close, The Wife Olivia Colman, The Favourite Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me?

What’s up with nominating that one guy for Best Director but not his movie for Best Picture? Don’t they have up to 10 slots for Best Picture but only 5 for Best Director? Seems kind of weird that according to the academy he did one of top 5 best jobs directing this year but his movie doesn’t even make the cut of the Top 10 movies.

That's one of the best Supporting Actress lists I can remember. Every one of them could win, and the crazy thing is that there's lots of others you could add. I feel like Tessa Thompson alone could have gotten nominations for SBTBY , Creed, or Annihilation.

e: these are the movies/people who SHOULD win out of the nominees. i doubt many actually WILL outside of a few categories. picture roma or the favourite director pawel pawlikowski actor this category sucks. willem dafoe i guess actress yalitza aparicio supporting actor richard e. grant supporting actress regina king original screenplay first reformed adapted screenplay if beale street could talk animated feature spiders-man documentary feature hale county this morning this evening foreign language film woah a category with multiple good films nominated. weird how it always turns out this way. shoplifters or cold war actual best movie of the year the other side of the wind. if that's considered cheating then you were never really here

You Were Never Really Here was so good, I'm mad that it didn't get nominated for anything because Lynne Ramsay is maybe my favorite living director and she only makes a feature film once every six years. Guess it didn't have a big enough PR campaign.

Detainment is getting a lot of criticism. Anyone aware of it? I'm conflicted on it. The director didn't contact the family for permission and I guess the boys are not depicted as caricatures of satan incarnate.

I think it's in poor taste yea, to make a movie about a real life murder of a child without getting permission from the child's parents. It's not like it happened 50+ years ago either, this was 1990. I'm pretty sure Alpha Dog did the same thing, never got permission from the Markowitz family and they basically had to just accept that the movie was being made and deal with it the best they could. I guess all you have to do is change the names, in Detainment they're just "Jon" and "Robert" and Alpha Dog changes the Markowitz family to Magursky or something.

Honestly considering how much bad CGI is in Black Panther especially in the climax I find it offensive Into The Spiderverse is written off as just an "animated" film, it has a thousand times more style, creativity, and emotional resonance than any of the movies on the Best Picture list. Let me tell you, when this scene hits right before the ending, after everything that builds up to it, it loving rips your heart apart in two because it goddamn earned it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-euUGPQZoHw I can't remember the last time I've seen a movie where you were loving screaming for the main character to succeed, and god loving drat, does Spiderverse run away with it.

Somehow animation is the only category I’m all that invested in this year, and this definitely deserves it. It’s frustrating that Disney/Pixar just kind of wins every year. I mean, yeah, they make good movies...but who’s actually doing something interesting or challenging or valuable with animation as a medium? I’m sure Incredibles 2 is good, but how is it different than the dozen or so highly-budgeted CG features they’ve made before? Not to poo poo on Coco, which is a great and really touching movie. But Loving Vincent hand-painted every goddamn frame in the style of Van Gogh; it’s incredible. Zootopia (yes it’s not Pixar) was fun and well-made, but Kubo was a painstaking, beautiful movie with unbelievable stop-motion. It’s odd to me that a body like the Academy, that’s so opposed to live-action commercial poo poo winning awards for artistry, so consistently defaults to the biggest, most commercial animated output from the largest and most profitable name in that space every year. (Isle of Dogs has a pretty good chance, too, I guess...I’d be fine with that. But for real, Spiderverse kicks rear end.) Xealot fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Jan 25, 2019 |

Remember that most of the Academy are old farts so they probably don't even bother watching the animated films and just go "eh Pixar is usually best film in this category so I'll just vote for them"

About six percent of the voting members of the Academy admitted to not watching the Best Picture nominees in 2015. I imagine the rate for the other categories is higher and, in fact, vaguely remember an anonymous interview where a member admitted to randomly filling in several categories because they didn’t interest him and he thought there were too many movies to watch. I’ll see if I can dig it up when I get out of work

QuoProQuid posted:I’ll see if I can dig it up when I get out of work I was thinking of Hollywood Reporter's annual Brutally Honest Oscar Voter Ballot. Some quotes across different ballots: quote:I am really pissed that we have nine nominees. You know, people are sitting at a restaurant on Sunset Plaza or someplace and one says to his friends, "Hey, I was nominated for best picture!" And then a guy at the next table says, "I was nominated for best picture!" quote:I don't watch the animated movies. quote:I just don't have the time to see [the Best Animated Short, Bet Documentary Short, or the Best Live-Action Short nominees]. I'd rather see as many of the feature films as I can. quote:[On Best Makeup and Hairstyling], I didn't see two of them, and I hated the third. I am voting for Mad Max solely because I want to stop The Revenant. quote:[For Best Documentary Feature,] I did not see 13th or Life, Animated. I liked O.J. — didn't I watch that on television? [It quickly is established that the version the voter saw on television was the FX limited series The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.] Also, in case you were wondering, there's a common theme of Academy members getting very confused by horror and sci-fi (one voter calls Arrival dumb because it is about "jellyfish from space") and conveniently forgetting/getting annoyed by movies with minority leads. quote:What no one wants to say out loud is that Selma is a well-crafted movie, but there's no art to it. If the movie had been directed by a 60-year-old white male, I don't think that people would have been carrying on about it to the level that they were. And as far as the accusations about the Academy being racist? Yes, most members are white males, but they are not the cast of Deliverance — they had to get into the Academy to begin with, so they're not cretinous, snaggletoothed hillbillies. When a movie about black people is good, members vote for it. But if the movie isn't that good, am I supposed to vote for it just because it has black people in it? I've got to tell you, having the cast show up in T-shirts saying "I can't breathe" [at their New York premiere] — I thought that stuff was offensive. Did they want to be known for making the best movie of the year or for stirring up poo poo?

the only good thing I think of regarding this year's nominees is that Yorgos Lanthimos got his name on it though I doubt he will get best director/film. Still really cool since he might be the weirdest creator on both of those lists.
