I really want to watch "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" though, because I've heard that Sam Rockwell is phenomenal in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASF Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I've watched Dunkirk and Get Out. Get Out was class, but I don't think it will win the Oscar for Best Picture. I'll end up watching all the Best Pic nominees at some point, but for now, the ones I'm more interested in are The Shape of Water, Phantom Thread and TBOEM.

Danny Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Get Out was such a disappointment, massive anti climax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 My plan usually is to watch all the films in the main 6 categories but I've only watch 2 out of the 14... Get Out & Dunkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Only seen Darkest Hour, Dunkirk, Get Out and The Shape of Water. Get Out I enjoyed the most because it surpassed my expectations. The others fell below what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Only seen Get Out and Dunkirk. Neither of them seem like they're best picture winners, though I really enjoyed them and I'm glad to see a horror film get some recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 How has Detroit missed out on this? Absolutely terrifying and edge of the seat throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Winners - Best Picture - The Shape Of Water Best Director - Guillermo del Toro (The Shape Of Water) Best Actor - Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour) Best Actress - Frances McDormand (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) Best Supporting Actor - Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) Best Supporting Actress - Allison Janney (I, Tonya) The Shape Of Water was my second favourite film from the list after Get Out. Had Chistopher Nolan (Dunkirk) & Jordan Peele (Get Out) ahead of Guillermo del Toro for Best Director. Daniel Day-Lewis (Phantom Thread) ahead of Gary Oldman for Best Actor. Laurie Metcalf (Ladybird) ahead of Allison Janney for Best Supporting Actress. Anyway, didn't think any of the films were outstanding (although I haven't watched All The Money In The World from the 14 films with nominations in the main categories).

Moderator Tommy Posted March 5, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2018 Absolutely amazing that Jordan Peele is an oscar winner now. I remember him from his silly sketches on Key & Peele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him from his silly sketches on Key & Peele. I watched the movie a while back knowing nothing about it and enjoyed it. I still dont understand how it was an oscar nomination for best picture, maybe says more about the field then anything. I was floored when i noticed Jordan Peele was the writer/director. As you say i love alot of his sketches, him and Key are some funny dudes. Hopefully its a sign of things to come from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's just another thing ruined by SJW's. I'm not sure if that's true. Most best picture winners have very good reviews and some have not had massive publicity or made massive amounts of money. There have been a few exceptions like braveheart and Titanic where they went more with the public but for the most part films that are received the best by critics win it.
