The 90th Academy Awards (March 4, 2018) TV Show • Page 11

I seriously haven’t stopped thinking about CMBYN since I saw it on Saturday. I’m seeing Phantom Thread on Friday and dyyyyyying to see Shape of Water.

 

Call Me... is without a doubt the one I return to the most

 

Thread, Name, Bird, Dunkirk, Out, Water, Post, Billboards, Hour*

*Haven't seen it

 

Call Me By Your Name has absolutely dominated my thoughts since I saw it last week, might go see it again tonight

 

I really liked Call Me By Your Name, and Stuhlbarg's monologue at the very end is, easily, my favorite movie moment of 2017.

 

I take it that means you can go?!?!

 

Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird are great companion films. Both period-centric coming of age movies regarding teenagers and their first loves, both feature Timothee Chalamet, and both have the protagonists with a random nose bleed.

 

both also have the most adorably supportive dads

 

Yes, also true!

 

This thread has some cool fun facts regarding Oscar trends.

 

As someone who loves Oscar history, stats, and predictions, this was very interesting. Also, I’m rooting for Saoirse but don’t believe she’ll win, yet...

PS - this guy has WAY too much time on his hands

 

DDL also up for his 4th, feel like he has an easier shot (this year at least) to tie Hepburn

 

Super fucking happy for Kumail, Emily, and Peele. So cool seeing comedians I've loved forever get recognition like this.



Possibly controversial question... does this mean Franco was gonna get snubbed anyway? The story broke like right when the voting deadline ended, and he was considered a shoo-in for a nomination by basically everyone

 

Phantom Thread, A Ghost Story, and Lady Bird were probably the only movies I’ve seen this year that I really adored. Still need to see Call Me By Your Name though

 

In my opinion, TDA was a perfect Golden Globe movie but wasn’t likely to get Oscar nods. The controversy didn’t help, but I think it was decided before then.

 

i don’t think he would have gotten an oscar nod either, i just think Pattinson was more deserving than a low-rate Denzel performance that we’ve seen before.

 

TDA was more or less a comedy, which are harder to garner awards for acting

 

I imagine Oscar voters don't know who Tommy is for the most part

 

I think it's kind of a mix of the two. If you go into that Oscar math thread, statistically, James was the second most likely to get a nomination based on how the awards season had been going by that point, but yeah, with the category being as crowded as it was, as well as his scandals blowing up the week nominations were due, it was just a long time coming.

 

He most certainly would not have won and definitely didn't deserve to win. I hope Tommy still goes

 

Oh yeah, I adored A Ghost Story. But Casey Affleck is in it so I'm not mad it's not nominated or anything, even if Rooney Mara deserves a statue for the pie eating scene alone.

 

Rooney Mara deserved the award they gave to Meryl Streep in 2011 and i'm NEVER GETTING OVER IT!

 

I agree with you on all this, and I sort of try to rationalize my enjoyment of it by telling myself there's no way that was really him in the sheet the whole time, no matter what anyone involved says, so really he was barely in it and also his character got killed in a violent car crash.

 

Rooney Mara deserved a statue for Carol as well, which deserved statues for everything it did.
