2018 Oscar Nominated Movies

[FinitoxDinamita]

wheres black panther?

It was a sht movie

Batman with Michael keaton shts all over black pansy

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

Nolan deliberately cut it short due to all the experimental sensory elements in the film. He thought he would be "punishing the audience" if it were to continue.. (extended interview on The Frame podcast).

He decided this himself or was he forced to do it?.

His choice.

These interviews are the business every year in Hollywood.. The anonymous Oscar voters spilling their ****. This one is pretty funny. This ch*ck blasts Get Out pretty good.. Lest anyone believes that everyone in Hollywood is a libtard..

Aren't they supposed to judge the film based on it's merits alone, and not what they think of the actors' ideology or the BLM movement?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

.....and your opinion of the ones youve seen.

right off the bat, shape of water = 3/10



del toro has talent but his movies suck !!!!
i only have use for pans.

get out = 7/10 (a bit slow)

i thoroughly enjoyed this shlt BUT NOT oscar worthy.

3 billboards = 3/10



cliches, as far as the eye can see.

(remember watching it and not being entertained)

I've only seen Dunkirk and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm a Nolanhead. What can I say?

For me, it was a good all around war movie.

That's an interesting point you're making because she is basically saying that she's having BLM shoved in her face. Now if it was me I just wouldn't care but she's making it into something more. She's talking about what the lead actor was saying but does that alter the work itself? Of course not. She's acknowledging she's downgrading the film ad hominem - and nobody should ever admit that.

Yea, I didn't get that. I hope whomever it is didn't attach their name to that quotation or leave it where it can be traced, because that could come back to cause a firestorm.

The shape of water was a let down

So much green I expected neo and morpheus to start fighting agents

Bltch was just horny and fxcked a fishman
It's like 50 shades of grey meets aquaman

Get out was pretty good

[Zaroku]

I've watched them all. I'll break them down into two categories.

Entertainment Value and Craft - IMHO.

BEST PICTURE

Call Me by Your Name: EV - 6 / C - 7
Darkest Hour: EV - 8 / C - 7
Dunkirk: EV - 5 / C - 7
Get Out: EV - 8 / C - 8
Lady Bird: EV - 8 / C - 8
Phantom Thread: EV - 6 / C - 9
The Post: EV - 5 / C - 5
The Shape of Water: EV - 7 / C - 8
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: EV - 7 / C - 8

I'm picking Get Out to win because of the sociopolitical factor and the preferential ballot. Three Billboards and The Shape of Water are the favorites and either could win due to the preferential ballot eliminating either, but I think the racial stuff is going to carry Get Out to victory..

This is one of the worst years I can remember in terms of the quality of the films so it's anyone's game in various senses, or at least maybe five different games.. Dunkirk and Darkest Hour also have a chance according to some experts because of how the preferential ballot works.

Here's a good explanation of the preferential ballot from a few years ago:



Basically, don't bet on the favorite which is determined by the precursor awards (Golden Globes, SAG's, BAFTAS, Ect.). None of those bodies use the preferential balloting system so they're effectively a false tell.. Don't tell that to the dumbass awards season pundits though..

Thanks for this most excellent break down. I've only seen two movies on your list. Will check out more.
