Richard Penna 3,694 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 3 hours ago, leeallen01 said: But we all know why the film was nominated for Best Picture. And it wasn't because the Academy thought it was one of the 8 best films of the year. This. Sorry, but anyone trying to pretend it's been nominated because it's a good film is dancing around the giant elephant hurtling through the room. Maybe voters did like the film as well, but I'll eat my hat if that was the only reason they wanted this held up as best picture. Mary Poppins probably has genuine justification for a musical nomination - while I don't personally go for it, every other comment I've read about the score has been very positive. Kind sucks that Disney screwed Powell over Solo though. Hands down my favourite score of the year. JoeinAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three received best picture nominations as of today. The Force Awakens certainly did not receive a Best Picture nomination. What are you talking about?

Arpy 4,145 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I enjoyed Black Panther like @leeallen01 however to praise it for being culturally significant is a little much. It didn't really do anything to speak to the issues surrounding the treatment of black people in the time of Black Lives Matter, and instead sabotaged that message through a weak, deluded villain who would commit the most heinous acts to achieve what? He lead an assault on Wakanda to seize control not to use the technology to benefit humanity - but quite literally - to arm the impoverished black people of America with laser guns to fight prejudice and injustice. It's fucking stupid. Don't get me started on Wakanda - a technological paradise that refuses to help the starving, homeless and destitute men, women and children around them in Africa. What the fuck? Yes, they wanted to keep the technology from the hands of tyrants and the rest of the world a secret, but they're responsible for the suffering of millions of people! leeallen01 and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glóin the Dark 1,222 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd like to have seen First Man and If Beale Street Could Talk nominated for Best Picture purely to heighten the organisers' anxiety on Oscar night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have a terribly low opinion of PoA, but actually you're right! Not that PoA was bad, but if both John Williams and Chris Columbus didn't win for their work on the HP series (who put all the trouble and energy and creativity into creating the movie series), why should Cuaron win? That wouldn't be fair at all! But of course, since when are the Oscars known for their fairness. Ergo: I don't give a shit at all about the Oscars this year. And probably never will again.
