Oscars 2019

Nominations to be announced at 13:20 UK time, livestreamed here:

Compared to previous years the majority of frontrunner films have been out in the UK for a while which is a nice change. Would personally give everything to If Beale Street Could Talk, but it seems to be oddly overlooked.

I will be staying up on February 24th, as I do every year, despite it always being utterly tedious.

She is second favourite by the bookies behind Glenn Close for best Actress

I would like Game Night to win a special new Oscar for ā€˜film that is actually really good but realistically it isn’t getting any nominations so we’ll give them this token award to say well done, good film’

*First Man

Ftfy

i think Gosling might get a nod? I liked First Man a lot in fairness but First Reformed seems a bit more like one of those ā€˜important’ films that people will look back on in years to come and go ā€˜why didn’t people pay more attention to that film’

also Ethan Hawke still hasn’t got a bloody Oscar

I think he should get a nod, it’s as good as he’s been IMO. Seems to be a very misinterpreted performance from what I’ve seen though so I’d be very surprised. (didn’t get round to First Reformed which I’m irked about)

It was a funny film

I dunno man, it’s essentially a remake of Diary of a Country Priest with added sensationalism.

The issue is that his performance in First Man is the apex of his ā€˜very quite and little emotion’ performances which lots of people absolutely loathe.

I am personally 100% onboard with everything he does

Wish I could see First Man in the cinema again

Yeah, and specifically with this it’s been interpreted as yet another portrayal of a ā€œbrilliant and stoicā€ man as opposed to ā€œthis guy was so emotionally repressed he could only express his feelings as far away from other people as any human being has ever beenā€. I thought it was devastating personally.

Genuinely have no idea how they’re going to fill out the best picture noms this year. Everything in the potential running seems completely underwhelming.
