Administrator Toups Posted February 18, 2019 Administrator Share Posted February 18, 2019 Usually, there's 1-3 favourites who take the lead in the race after the guilds, but this year's Best Picture is so unpredictable. I'm kind of uncomfortable with Black Panther winning because it got shut out in all the major categories (writing, directing, acting). Does a movie deserve to win if they didn't even get one nomination on those categories? For me, it's a no. And in the technical categories, it didn't get a nomination for Best Film Editing or Cinematography which, IMO, are the two biggest technical awards. I agree with those who said if that you're gonna cut some categories, cut the shorts. I also like the idea of merging the sound editing and sound mixing. Here are my predictions: Best Picture: Roma Best Director: Alfonso Cuarón - Roma Best Actor: Rami Malek - Bohemian Rhapsody Best Actress: Glenn Close- The Wife Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali - Green Book Best Supporting Actress: Regina King – If Beale Street Could Talk Best Original Screenplay: Green Book – Written by Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie and Peter Farrelly Best Adapted Screenplay: BlacKkKlansman – Screenplay by Charlie Wachtel & David Rabinowitz and Kevin Willmott & Spike Lee Best Animated Feature Film: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Best Original Score: Isle of Dogs – Alexandre Desplat Best Original Song: "Shallow" from A Star Is Born – Music and Lyrics by Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm not expecting Roma to take BP. I agree that the Foreign Language film Oscar will hurt its chances. Best Picture: Green Book or some crazy out of left field winner...Vice Best Director: Alfonso Cuarón, Roma Best Actor: Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody Best Actress: Glenn Close, The Wife Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali, Green Book Best Supporting Actress: Rachel Weisz, The Favourite Best Original Screenplay: The Favourite Best Adapted Screenplay: BlacKkKlansman Best Animated Feature Film: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yeah, I’m betting they open with Queen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 An interesting thread of active actors who’ve never been Oscar-nominated, which puts the whole Glenn Close/Amy Adams “overdue” narratives in some perspective (in that at least they were invited to the party, not that they aren’t deserving). Donald Sutherland Jamie Lee Curtis Ewan McGregor Cillian Murphy Guy Pearce Thandie Newton Bill Nighy Idris Elba Brendan Gleeson Michael Sheen Steve Buscemi John Goodman Jim Carrey James McAvoy Kevin Bacon John Cusack Robin Wright Kirsten Dunst 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted February 19, 2019 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Props to you for putting Kirsten Dunst. Her performances in All Good Things and Meloncholia should've been nominated. Thandie Newton being snubbed for Crash was inexcusable. And some of those names, Donald Sutherland, Robin Wright, Steve Buscemi, Michael Sheen, Ewan McGregor are names I naturally assume have been nominated for something because they do have accolades elsewhere. I'm never good at these games myself. My mind always goes blank as if no knowledge has ever been occupied.

Members Faulkner Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 That Donald Freakin’ Sutherland hasn’t been nominated is shameful. Basically the whole Ordinary People cast was nominated that year except him. Sam Rockwell was snubbed year after year, and then he was nominated for Three Billboards and won his first time out. Now they’ll name-check him anytime he sneezes in a movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 Seriously? Toups, there's, like, four different versions of ASIB, and they all end the same way, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 I’ll say nothing. This is an interesting piece that suggests how Black Panther might prevail in the night’s biggest category without the nominations that usually accompany a Best Picture winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted February 19, 2019 Administrator Share Posted February 19, 2019 I haven't seen any of them. LOL @Faulkner I'll spoiler tag your post in case there's someone like me. I guess I'll watch for how that person gets there then. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
