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.
I would like Game Night to win a special new Oscar for āfilm that is actually really good but realistically it isnāt getting any nominations so weāll give them this token award to say well done, good filmā
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 āimportantā films that people will look back on in years to come and go āwhy didnāt people pay more attention to that filmā
also Ethan Hawke still hasnāt got a bloody Oscar
I think he should get a nod, itās as good as heās been IMO. Seems to be a very misinterpreted performance from what Iāve seen though so Iād be very surprised. (didnāt get round to First Reformed which Iām irked about)
The issue is that his performance in First Man is the apex of his āvery quite and little emotionā performances which lots of people absolutely loathe.
I am personally 100% onboard with everything he does
Yeah, and specifically with this itās been interpreted as yet another portrayal of a ābrilliant and stoicā man as opposed to āthis 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 theyāre going to fill out the best picture noms this year. Everything in the potential running seems completely underwhelming.
