Film Awards Talk - 2020

[Wryan]

Nah Pitt deserved to win over Pacino. It was close, though.

Yey for Deakins winning.

I said Pesci. I'd agree over Pacino certainly, but not Pesci. :)

[Peng]

I enjoyed all the reactions to Eminem's performance lmao:

Bong won Best Director!!!! So overwhelmed right now.

[Dukefrukem]

Omg shut the fuuuuuuck up

[Skitch]

Aaaaaaand Joaquin made it weird. Wtf is he on about....holy awkward

[Skitch]

Called Renee winning...if theres one thing hollywood is reliable for, its loving old hollywood. How boring

[Dukefrukem]

So I guess the Academy wants it's credibility back....

[Skitch]

Interesting. Good for Bong

[Peng]

I now forgive the Academy for the overlong ceremony that won't stop with the music numbers, and also for that Adapted Screenplay win. It's surreal when Best Pic and Best Director both deserve it completely.

[Morris Schæffer]

Might have preferred Marriage St. Or Avengers End Game, but the oscars got it right nonetheless.

[MadMan]

I said Pesci. I'd agree over Pacino certainly, but not Pesci. :)

Pesci wasn't better than either of them, though imo.

[MadMan]

Parasite winning both BP and Director was a good surprise. Knowing the Oscars they will probably do something dumb next year.

[amberlita]

Wow.

Really glad I watched Parasite this weekend.

[Grouchy]

Hahah cue automatic backlash against Parasite. It was apparently the movie everyone loved, now it's sure to become the most hated.

[Peng]

I glimpsed a few of the replies to Parasite article tweets, and more than a few of them went "wow the Academy went woke" which lmao.

To those I can only say:

[Ezee E]

I do wonder if a male-only movie (minus one scene) could win it at the Oscars. PGA and DGA is a little different. 1917 didn't even get an ensemble nomination is the thing holding it back for me.

I feel like this means something

[Ezee E]

Big Short is mostly an all-men movie too.

The way the Oscars vote isn't necessarily a "pick your favorite" either. There's a preferential ballot, which you do need to take into account, in that what's likely to be more of a #2, #3, #4 on people's lists, and what will others put at the bottom? This is a big piece of why La La Land lost, because if it wasn't your #1 of the year, people tended to hate it.

This is why I'm starting to also think Parasite could win, because I don't know one person who hasn't liked it.

Consider the preferential ballot people!

[transmogrifier]

The order of awards has International Feature Film quite late on, 7th from the end - I think that means 1917 has Best Film and Sam Mendes has Directing in the bag, the logic being that they want Parasite to get some of the spotlight but it's not going to get it for the overall prize or director.

Nostradamus over here. :)

[megladon8]

My best friend was on the animation team for Hair Love, and his name was up on the screen for the win.

"Parasite" is a lock for International but I think people overestimate it's chances otherwise.

NAILED IT

Once again, to the surprise of no one, I proudly continued my multi-decade streak of being totally wrong about the Oscars!

[dreamdead]

I was doubting the entire time that Parasite would pull off Director/Film once it lost Best Editing. That said, this is the first time since McQueen's film that I genuinely felt delight in a Best Picture win; it almost makes up for the Academy's dismissal of Burning, Steven Yeun, and Lee's script there.

Still haven't seen: Green Book, though we might finally watch it this year since there's more remove from the silliness of its win.

[Dukefrukem]

The Artist and King's Speech are jokes. Completely forgettable and will never be in a Oscar highlight montage reel.

[Scar]

This was the first time in a few decades where I didn’t watch any of the Oscars.

I was binge watching Cutthroat Kitchen and completely forgot.

I'VE TRIED TO WITNESS YOU BUT I MUST SPREAD REP AROUND FIRST APPARENTLY SO QUIT BEING SO CONSISTENTLY AWESOME

[MadMan]

Hahah cue automatic backlash against Parasite. It was apparently the movie everyone loved, now it's sure to become the most hated.

Hey now this isn't the Correrino. But yeah.

The Hurt Locker-great but A Serious Man was my pick for Best Picture. I did see 7 of them from the nom list.
The King's Speech-Solid and forgettable. The Social Network should have won.
The Artist-Great, but Midnight In Paris was my choice.
Argo-Great, yet a safe boring choice. I haven't seen enough of the field from this year but I loved Django Unchained of course.
12 Years a Slave-N/A but I did see 4 of the nominees.
Birdman-Love it, I only saw 4 of the nominees again, whatever.
Spotlight-N/A, I only saw 3 of the noms from that year.
Moonlight-N/A, see above, I'm lazy, whatever.
The Shape of Water-Love it, I think Lady Bird should have won, I saw all of the noms, blah blah.
Green Book-Hell no I didn't see it. I saw 5 of the noms, the Spike Lee was the best of those.
Parasite-Gonna try to see it, I have viewed 6 of the noms from this year.

I feel like it's not even close. It's Parasite and the drop off is huge. Organize the rest of the of them however you want with King's Speech being at the bottom.
Is anyone really going to sit down and watch Green Book again?

In my rankings, Green Book was the last of those that I'd have any desire to ever revisit. Everything below it, I personally don't feel I'd ever have any real interest in seeing again.

[Pop Trash]

I know a lot of people don't like it, and I'm lukewarm about it too, but I've been reading about how Parasite being a foreign language film is so groundbreaking ... and I know parts of it are in English and it takes place in Hollywood, but The Artist is French as fuck. It's also weird being a black & white, mostly silent film in the 21st century.

Huh?

There are posters on that site who backlash against the Best Picture winner no matter what it is. However I didn't really see that happen this year, although I wonder how many saw Parasite.

Parasite was excellent btw. So far it is the best out of the 2010s BP winners I have seen.
