Oscars 2020 • Page 57

Moonlight
Parasite
12 Years a Slave
Birdman
Argo

Didn't watch the others because, frankly, why would I bother haha. Argo was the last year I watched every BP nominee. The others The other two I watched out of genuine curiosity. And obviously Moonlight and Parasite are in an entirely other league.

 

my guess the Academy figures he’s more known for TV

 

kobe is more known for basketball

 

Moonlight
Parasite
12 Years a Slave
The Artist
Birdman
Green Book

Haven't seen the others

 

Isaac probably had the most epic looking beard I've ever seen last night - just perfect. All the ladies at this party were like "ohhhhhh"

 

his Oscar + recent death is why

 

Have you guys read Joe Reid’s “what if” Oscar columns on VF? Really fun hypotheticals That he puts together.

 

I hate watching a dubbed film; takes me out of the film more than reading subtitles

 

The only dubs I prefer to subs are the Studio Ghibli stuff, but even then, it's just because I grew up watching the dubs, and both versions are excellent in their own right.

Not sure if anyone's ever seen Police Story. Great movie, but the dub for it is truly hilarious.

 

The English dub of Howl’s Moving Castle has Christian Bale has Howl and it’s funny because his monster voice is clearly just him doing an early version of his Batman voice

 

Yeah, the dub for Howl was never a favorite of mine. I adore the dubs for Spirited Away and Kiki though.

 

A lot of the Ponyo dubbed voices were unhinged. I had to do a few double takes.

 

Sailor Moon is the only dub I enjoy and that is entirely because of nostalgia. The super thick American accents they gave everyone were so jarring to hear again as an adult.

 

Nice

 

Oh fuck me

 

hmm

 

I rarely see foreign language movies but dubs are off putting. Reading subtitles in a theater is fine because there’s no distractions. Watching Roma at home on Netflix a year ago I wasn’t as attentive compared to seeing Parasite in the theater

 

yeah I watched Roma in theaters because there was no way I was gonna watch it at home, it's so easy to get distracted with my computer

 

I... just realized that the only best picture winners from the whole decade that I saw were Parasite and Birdman. I really thought it would be more, I'm ashamed lol

 

see moonlight for sure

 

It's weird, I literally thought I did but then realized that I never got around to it. It just shot to the top of my list for sure

 

There is no shame in missing the bad ones. I know I have missed quite a few nominees, but who has time to sit through stuff like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close?

 

Lol I kinda liked ELAIC. But that nomination was pretty baffling. It has to be the worst reviewed movie to get a best picture nomination, right?
