77th Golden Globes Awards • Page 13

I really hope Joker wins it all. Parasite would stick out too much compared to the usual winners.

 

This is the same Academy that's awarded Green Book, the Revenant, Birdman, Argo, the Artist, the King's Speech, etc, right?

 

WHY
THE
FUCK
IS
THAT
A
BAD
THING

 

see, voting going on more than one round is how i think joker actually wins it haha

 

...how? That's a movie that is either loved or HAAAAAAATED.

 

i honestly still can’t believe you liked joker

 

He didn't!

 

I'm still not willing to say that Joker is a guaranteed BP nom, even.

 

because i can see people not wanting to put it #1, especially a lot of the actors which makes up the largest body of the academy, but putting it #2/#3 to play it “safe”

 

are you fucked

 

It just made my worst of the year list today.

 

hmm. i must be misremembering haha. i thought you said in the joker thread you enjoyed it. my bad.

 

Because the Oscars are bad and ideally they would leave good films alone.

 

I can't think of anything I'd rather do than predict the best picture winner haha

 

I said it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

 

I think my biggest problem with Joker is how fucking empty it is. Empty of ideas, empty of creativity, empty of everything but "oh hey I saw that movie once and I liked it let me trace over it!"

 

I'm using this to steel myself for 1917 to join the ranks of mediocre best picture winners. Can only be pleasantly surprised from there, barring a Joker surge that even I can't see happening

 

thinking Parasite will win BP over Tarantino and Scorsese is just...insane to me? I don’t know anything about the voter process but I assume the academy would rather die than let that happen

 

It is so funny looking at all the films people highlighted as their favorites of the decade and the almost complete lack of Best Picture winners, other than Moonlight.

 

You probably have to go all the way back to No Country For Old Men for the next solid pick, sifting through the wins for Tom Hooper, Ben Affleck, and Peter Farrelly

 

(I like Gone Baby Gone and the Town but he's Ben Affleck)

 

in a post moonlight over la la land reality this doesn’t seem that strange to me

 

I don’t know if that moment can ever be topped.

 

I actually do think Parasite has a shot, I'd bet on it over the Irishman and Marriage Story at the very least. And Joker. OUATIH and 1917 would be question marks.

 

spotlight and hurt locker are fine. at the very least, they’re much much better than kong’s speech/argo/green book/the artist
