The 90th Academy Awards (March 4, 2018) TV Show • Page 9

Having like 10 nominees for Best Picture and half that number for everything else is silly.

 

That said, I hope Blade Runner 2049 picks up a couple things, especially for cinematography. Roger Deakins is one of the greatest cinematographers alive and it’ll be a crime if he gets snubbed here.

 

bad take

blade runner deserves to be in but get out isn’t the one deserving of being removed

 

Woulda liked to see Blade Runner and Good Time get more love. Whatever.

 

I think so. Get Out was a great film and one of the more exciting and fun theater outings from last year, but I just don't see how it holds up against the other nominations and Blade Runner.

 

you think darkest hour and three billboards are more worthy than get out? an even worse take.

 

I thought Darkest Hour was more worthy, yeah.

 

Isn’t Darkest Hour just Gary Oldman wearing prosthetics?

 

Get Out is as good as any of the other nominations. Good Time, A Quiet Passion and Personal Shopper were never getting nominated but are well deserving.

 

Get Out is creative, near flawlessly executed, and thematically strong. I get that it doesn't feel like a typical best picture and that it almost certainly won't win, but its case for being the best movie of 2017 extends beyond being the most entertaining theater experience and its social/political relevance. It's an excellent movie.

 

Get Out winning would be as much good optics as 3 Billboards and Gary oldman winning would be bad optics

 

I have no idea whats the actual difference between sound editing and sound mixing, but I'm glad there are two awards so in a fair world Dunkirk and win one and Baby Driver can win the other.

 

Darkest Hour is a snooze other than some great cinematography

 

Sound Editing is the quality of the individual sounds, Sound Mixing is how the sounds sound together

 

So Dunkirk gets editing and Baby Driver gets mixing?

 

Roughly speaking:

Sound editor is for the creation of the sounds in the film. So, when someone gets punched, someone has to manufacture the sound that mimics a fist punching a face. That’s the creative component.

Sound mixing takes all those tracks and determines how they sit in the mix. Put simply, they create the balance for the overall soundscape.

 

And Phantom Thread should take both

 

What if I told you they were going to give it to an abuser dressed up like Winston Churchill instead

 

Hoyte van Voytema (also did Interstellar)

 

I would really love to remove Darkest Hour and Three Billboards and put in Blade Runner, The Florida Project, and Mudbound. Would be a pretty unimpeachable field then.

 

id have Phantom win best picture, DDL best actor, Ronan best actress, Plummer best SupAct, ? best Supactress, id be happy with any of the directors winning, Get out wins best screenplay, disaster artist best adap screenplay, and COCO wins everything else

 

Way off topic but why do we call opinions “takes” now? How do I delete this from the internet?

 

you log off

 

But I like reading people’s bad opinions.
