February 4, 20205 yr Next Sunday! I'll probably open up a new thread with a little game concept or something. Just for fun. But are any of you making your way through the nominations, like I am? How many have you seen? Of the 7 main categories (Best Pic, Director, Actor, Actress, S Actor, S Actress & Animation) I still needs to see... - Richard Jewell (seeing on Thurs) - Bombshell (seeing on Thurs) - A Beautfiul Day In the Neighbourhood (Next Wed) - Harriet - Pain & Glory - The Two Popes (UGHHHHHH) - I Lost My Body - Klaus (Probs won't bother until xmas. Dunno. I might watch it after I've seen The Two Popes and clear my head)
February 4, 20205 yr I've almost seen all of the Best Picture nominations, not sure I'll bother with Ford v Ferrari though as the subject matter really doesn't interest me at all and I'm hearing its one of the more 'filler' picks. I am seeing Parasite this weekend though and would've then seen all but one. It's a verrrry close bunch this year, good as they're all at least 8/10 but it's lacking a standout, I'm hoping Parasite will be that going by the reviews I'm seeing! My favourites thus far are probably Joker and Little Women, crowd pleasing options I guess, but they were just really good re-imaginings of source material that made me think a lot! (The latter I read the book leading up to it, and it fixed a lot of problems I had with it which was wonderful). I do intend to see The Lighthouse too, even if it only has one nomination :'(
February 5, 20205 yr I try and watch all the films nominated for the picture, director, acting and screenplay awards (still haven't seen First Reformed from last year yet though due to having no local cinema/not available to rent anywhere). Out of this year's films I still need to see 1917 (I was meant to see this & Bombshell last week but I missed them) A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood Bombshell Harriet Judy Le Mans '66 Pain And Glory Parasite Richard Jewell It has been a brilliant year for Best Picture noms this year I think. Out of the ones I've seen so far 'The Irishman' is probably my least favourite but I still really enjoyed that. OUATIH, Jojo Rabbit & Little Women are all 10/10's and I would struggle to pick between them.
February 5, 20205 yr I didn't bother with "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", "Joker" or "Ford v Ferrari" whilst they were in cinemas because I wasn't interested by trailers/subject matters and at the time, they didn't have Oscar nominations attached. "The Irishman" I'm going to willingly pass on, but "Parasite" will hopefully bring my Best Pic count over 50% this weekend. The actor categories look woeful for me, only seen one from each (Adam Driver & Tom Hanks), but on the flipside, I'm only missing one actress (Cynthia Erivo). Renée and Margot would be my choices to win, and "Little Women" is my favourite of the four Best Picture nominees I've seen so far (but "1917" is narrowly behind, would be a very worthy winner)
February 6, 20205 yr Author - 1917 - A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood - Bombshell - Richard Jewell damn I'm not doing well, gonna have to do a film a day ahhh
February 6, 20205 yr Parasite to win, please. The best picture nominations are quite a woeful selection considering some of the quality films released last year.
February 7, 20205 yr They need to get Jack Nicholson to present the best actor Oscar incase Joaquin Phoenix wins it so the Oscar would be passed from one Joker to another
February 10, 20205 yr Parasite has been shortening all day to win Best Picture :o I still think 1917 will get it tho :/
February 10, 20205 yr Author 14/17 so far, easy easy year haha. Scorsese's, Idina and Billie's reactions to Eminem and Billie's reaction to Kristen/Maya are the highlights of the night.
February 10, 20205 yr Billie seems so out of her comfort zone lmao. No standing ovation for Elton... Interesting.
February 10, 20205 yr Good things so far include 1917 winning the roundup of technical filming awards, which is well deserved there, and Parasite coming away with at least a couple, still holding out hope it wins Best Picture though.
February 10, 20205 yr Author WOW!!!! That came out of nowhere, so shocked Mendes lost!! Yasssss Bong 😍😍
February 10, 20205 yr Parasite wins Best Picture! Best decision I can remember the Oscars making in a long time.
February 10, 20205 yr Author Paraslay 😍😍😍😍 deserved, iconic, so many barriers broken. We love to see it <3
