Westside Steve Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 https://ew.com/oscars/2019/01/22/oscars-nominations-2019-list/amp/ Well that's good. I've seen a few that were predicted to get a nomination that were pretty much a waste of time but I've seen all these best pictures. I really don't see one that's worthy of an Oscar but there are some I didn't hate as badly as others. Damned with faint praise? By the way Roma is not even an English so it can blow me.

Westside Steve Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Best PictureBlack Panther mediocre superhero movie only there because it played the race cardBlacKkKlansman crappy movie but typical Spike Lee hates the white man crapBohemian Rhapsody not a great movie, a paint-by-numbers biopic, but if you really like Queen it should be pretty enjoyable. The Favourite I found it dull and disgusting. No entertainment value whatsoever.Green Book yet another film about race relations but with an uplifting message and compelling characters.Roma foreign language? Netflix? Blow me.A Star Is Born enjoyable enough. Pretty good performances and even though Lady Gaga with better than you might expect she's still not on par with real actresses.Vice didn't particularly care for the movie witch tried too hard to make their political accusations stick but excellent performances especially from Christian Bale wSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Best Picture Black Panther....a decent superhero movies (far better origin story than say Aquaman)...but agree with Steve...only on the list because it is Africentric BlacKkKlansman Bohemian Rhapsody The Favourite Green Book Roma A Star Is Born Vice....Only other one I saw. A two sided look at the coin that was Dick Cheney. But I would not say it was Best picture material at all. So...hopefully one of the ones I have not seen will be worth. Actor in a Leading Role Christian Bale, Vice....Only one I have seen. His performance would be worth it Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born Willem Dafoe, At Eternity’s Gate Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody Viggo Mortensen, Green Book Actress in a Leading Role Yalitza Aparicio, Roma Glenn Close, The Wife Olivia Colman, The Favourite Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me? Saw none of these. Actress in a Supporting Role Amy Adams, Vice.....only one I saw. She too could be worthy to win. Marina de Tavira, Roma Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk Emma Stone, The Favourite Rachel Weisz, The Favourite Actor in a Supporting Role Mahershala Ali, Green Book Adam Driver, BlacKkKlansman Sam Elliott, A Star Is Born Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me? Sam Rockwell, Vice Only one I saw.....his performance NOT worthy in my opinion. Only had a brief time on screen and came off cartoonish. Directing BlacKkKlansman, Spike Lee Cold War, Paweł Pawlikowski The Favourite, Yorgos Lanthimos Roma, Alfonso Cuarón Vice, Adam McKay...only one I saw....Meh Adapted Screenplay The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Joel Coen and Ethan Coen Only one I saw. I could root for it easily BlacKkKlansman, Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, Kevin Willmott, and Spike Lee Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty If Beale Street Could Talk, Barry Jenkins A Star Is Born, Eric Roth, Bradley Cooper, and Will Fetters Original Screenplay The Favourite, Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara First Reformed, Paul Schrader Green Book, Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie, and Peter Farrelly Roma, Alfonso Cuarón Vice, Adam McKay saw none. So...since there are so many of these movies/performances that I have not seen, I will have to do so....if they are still playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I didn't see that many movies this year. In looking back, it was only certain big box office movies that I saw: Black Panther Vice.......these first two the only ones on the list Ready Player One Crazy Rich Asians (saw on a plane) The Crimes of Grindelwald Aquaman Solo The Avengers-Infinity Wars The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Predator The Incredibles 2 Jurassic World...Fallen Kingdom Mission Impossible...Fallout The Cloverfield Paradox The House with the Clock in the Walls. So, as you can see there were a ton of movies I did not see. Of the above...the one, to me, that was the most entertaining was probably the Mission Impossible-Fallout movie.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 So if you have Black in the movie title, it qualifies for an Oscar this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough. The affirmative action Oscars thanks and part 2 1 of the least talented members of their race,Wiill Smith. Race relations are the number one qualifier followed closely by homosexuality or Mexicans. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillmotion Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Christ, I don't think I've watched any of these movies, and I work on movies, this is ridiculous. Roma will probably win a lot of things, since the academy has a hardon for Cuaron. Christian Bale is an incredible actor. Havent seen the Cheney movie, and I dislike Cheney, but I heard the man pulled a Raging Bull again. Only Daniel Day Lewis is a better actor I think. First Reformed, Paul Schrader - hmmm, Paul wrote taxi driver in two days with a loaded gun in his desk so i might have to check this out. Great screenwriter, and a great guy. This and Roma are the only movies that interest me. How many of these so called "movies" are original? Maybe i'll have to make one of my own one of these days.

So is Gary Oldman for that matter. So is Kenneth Branagh. First Reformed, Paul Schrader - hmmm, Paul wrote taxi driver in two days with a loaded gun in his desk so i might have to check this out.

The Gipper Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I will have to see A Star is Born just because Sam Elliot has received an Oscar nod. Ain't hardly nobody cooler than Sam Elliot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPPT1974 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yeah as Christian Bale may win again. And really go see Star is Born. As need to see the other remakes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a guy who's seen most of the oscar movies, and most of them being underwhelming, i'd say 100% CB deserves the award for his masterful transformation into Cheney. I didn't like "Vice" that much, but CB did an excellent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
