I thought Judas and the Black Messiah was tremendous on every level. One of the best movies in recent memory. Insane to think of it as a standard biopic. This is a rare year where I’ve seen most of the contenders, partially because I’ve been watching way more movies due to COVID but also because the slate looks genuinely interesting from top to bottom (except I’d rather chop my nuts off then watch Aaron Sorkin attempt to tackle radical politics). I’d rank them: Judas and the Black Messiah — Sound of Metal (though I can’t say I expected all these nominations) Minari — Nomadland Promising Young Woman — Mank Nomadland is a nice movie and a visual masterpiece but I don’t really understand the universal hype. Promising Young Woman is a mess of a movie but it’s a good time. Weird best picture nominee. I love Fincher but Mank did very little for me and everything about it has already faded from my memory. Haven’t watched The Father yet but I’ve heard it’s good, even though Anthony Hopkins Best Picture Nom Called “The Father” sounds like a parody of Oscar bait. Another Round also rocks. I assume it’s International win is nigh-guaranteed with Vinterberg getting a director nom.

Hasn’t Boseman winning Best Actor posthumously been basically guaranteed?

I feel like Yeun isn't really a lead in that movie (the kid is) but it's a minor quibble.

Just watched The Father to hit 7/8. Really upsetting movie.

Nomadland is a nice little movie but I agree with much of the criticism that it seems like it wants to say something but is actually completely toothless.

lol why did they do Director before live action short? They haven't even done supporting actress but they did supporting actor like 40 minutes ago?

Lid posted:It felt like it was trying to be American Psycho or Hard Candy bit palatable to a wider audience ala Harley Quinn ethos by always pulling up at just the last moment to never feel like you're a bad person. It felt cowardly. Seems like an extra bad time to reward the script for a movie that ends with the cops taking care of everything.

This is the one award I think should've gone to Nomadland

mcmagic posted:Is Father more or less depressing than Amour? I kinda don't want to watch it. Haven't seen Amour but it's a pretty tough one for sure. How scared are you of dementia or a loved one having it? That's a big factor.

CapnAndy posted:It's a hell of a swing considering Marvel's never made the Eternals work in the comics, but I am not betting against the "hey here's a CGI raccoon and tree and their D-list buddies, they are your favorite characters now" studio. All I know is it’s the movie that forced Jacked Kumail onto us

It was really funny that the BP clip for Nomadland didn't feature McDormand saying anything

Nomadland felt like a nice magazine feature that I would read while killing time at work.

pospysyl posted:Underrated problem with putting Best Actor last is that it's no longer in equilibrium with Best Actress. Also, the Best Actor/Actress speeches are supposed to be the big ones, but by the end of the show nobody's interested in a big speech. Naturally, if Boseman had won there wouldn't be a speech at all, and I guess the producers were lucky that the guy they barred from giving a speech over Zoom ended up winning the award. They would’ve had his widow speak for him like at the Globes.
