The 91st Academy Awards (February 24, 2019) TV Show • Page 28

Hey I've always said they should do more of this. Songs or soundtrack songs that are big parts of a movie should be recognized in someway.

 

"Someone should really get this David Duke guy to watch Green Book."

 

making it very hard to be mad at you Academy

 

They alphabetized Pharrell instead of Williams?

 

Should've had Mulaney host

 

Give Roma all the awards.

 

I think it is going to win Director, Cinematography, and Foreign Language Film without a doubt. It will definitely contend for Original Screenplay as well. The biggest question mark is what will happen in Best Picture. I think right now, gun to my head, I'd take Roma but honestly I could see it going to Green Book or BlacKkKlansman as well.

Funnily enough, I also would not discount Black Panther for Best Picture either. The way the Academy's tiered ranked choice voting system works, I could see Black Panther getting a ton of #2 or #3 votes from people who loved it but "wouldn't pick it as Best Picture" and then walking away with the win after other movies fail to cross the necessary threshold due to split votes in the #1 slot. Would be really cool if that happened, I think.

Honestly it would be really cool for me if anything, literally anything other than Green Book or Bohemian Rhapsody won, though, so that isn't saying much. I'd even take Vice.

 

I finally watched Black KkKlansman last night and really hope it wins a decent amount.

 

It was in my top three of 2018. Sadly it's looking like it may only win Best Adapted Screenplay. But at least Spike will finally get a competitive Oscar.

 

I'm trying to watch all the documentary shorts before the weekend. Just watched "A Night at the Garden," and holy shit. Like I guess when I say it out loud it's not that farfetched to think that there were American Nazis during WWII, but seeing it happening at the Garden gave me chills.

 

And now I just finished Black Sheep. Damn, that was really powerful too.

 

Have watched (in order of me liking them):
Roma
A Star is Born
Blackkklansman
Someone putting a dog in a microwave
Bohemian Rhapsody

Watching Black Panther now. It’s okay

 

Most random list of presenters ever

 

no love for the Favourite?

 

Now that I’ve seen most of the best picture movies this month since it’s been a while for some of them I think I have a solid ranking. Probably not the most popular.

The Favourite
A star is born
Roma
Black panther
Green book
Vice
Bohemian rhapsody
Blackkklansman

I didn’t like either BoRap or Blackkklansman but I think the music and live aid scene raised it just ever so slightly above Blackkklansman, which really disappointed me.

 

I haven’t watched yet. It’s still in theaters here so we were planning on getting out to it by Sunday but we have a wedding. Maybe tonight

 

So Wayne and Garth are gonna introduce BR

I've seen half of the BP noms, not really interested in the rest, Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody for obvious reasons. I'm sure A Star is Born and Vice are fine, but I don't feel the need to see them, especially now that 2019 movies are in full swing.

Best movies that weren't nominated for Best Picture:
If Beale Street Could Talk
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Crazy Rich Asians
Eighth Grade
Searching
Sorry to Bother You
Mission Impossible: Fallout
You Were Never Really Here
Annihilation
A Quiet Place

In the recent interview with Trevor Noah, Spike Lee said his nominations wouldn't have been possible without the push for more diverse voters over the past few years. That's great, but there's a long way to go if people are still falling for problematic and/or mediocre Oscar-bait and dismissing anything that isn't a drama.

 

Hereditary is my top film that wasn't nominated for a single award but should have been.

 

First Reformed

 

The Tale, Blindspotting, Widows

 

Nailed it.
