BlackKklansman looks interesting and Vice should be decent as well, but the rest of the best pics noms look dull. Just another 'meh' year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 An actual Marvel movie is nominated for an Academy Award for best picture? What the fuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even one of the better ones IMO. Not trying to be anti PC but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst Marvel movies. If you wanted to nominate a popular, but good movie, then Infinity War was your movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy Posted January 24, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2019 Some of the weakest nominations I've seen in a while. Generally it just doesn't look very exciting. Ethan Hawke for his performance in First Reformed was definitely snubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note I would say best visual effects has to be down to 'Avengers Infinity War' or 'Ready Player One' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Black Panther wasn't even the best superhero movie of 2018. Wasn't even as good as Antman & The Wasp let alone Infinity War. I guess they have to because... you know... placation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Globes was terribly boring. In fact the opening monologue was the worst ever I have seen in an awards functions. I can see it being topped at Oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASF Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 It's tonight, for anyone that is interested. Will watch it tomorrow, when I get back home from work, but I don't have high hopes for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thanks for the reminder - I don't really like it, but my wife loves it and had forgotten about it so now I'm a 'hero'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The only good thing about it was Olivia Colman's lovely speech. It was genuine and adorable unlike the fake, OTT surprise some show after winning. Also, happy with Spiderman - Into the Spiderverse getting the Oscar. Going to repeat what I said in the other thread, it's the best Spiderman movie. Lastly, thought Spike Lee behaved like a spoilt child. Apparently threw a fit when Green Book won the best film award (tweeted by reporters present there) and during his back stage interview. I haven't watched the Green Book, and it could be awful and I am aware of Peter Farrelly's past but dude, enjoy your night instead of making snide remarks about others. I remember Lee having problems with Django Unchained, as well. Came across as a muppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never watched the Oscars as it is getting boring nowadays but saw that bit above on the news, especially when she blew a raspberry when she was told to hurry up, me and the wife laughed our socks off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the whole speech. And my mistake. It's Colman not Coleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASF Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 I thought the ceremony didn't feel like a proper Oscar evening. The awards were rushed, the performances felt flat. Worst Oscar ceremony I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted January 7, 2020 Administrator Share Posted January 7, 2020 Gervais was superb. Loved every minute of that intro. The Judi Dench bit had me in stitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
