DC Tom Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: I would definitely vote for Rami Malek as best actor in bohemian rhapsody He's almost a shoe-in. He's got two of the three criteria the Academy look for in a best actor: he plays a gay character, and he plays a real person. If he'd cried, he'd be a lock. Plus...not that the Academy cares, but it was a legitimately great performance. Since Roma won best foreign language film...there's a good chance Black Panther wins Best Picture. Which would be inexplicable to me - it was pedestrian, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That performance and the Wayne's World reference were great. The rest of the movie was your typical cliched band biopic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I skipped it, and I have been watching the Oscars for years. I'm just sick of the pretentious speeches and the pompous attitude some of these people in the industry bring with them. Some speeches are actually good and there are people who are deserving of some of the awards. What really bothers me is the nominations. Political & Cultural messaging is now more important than artistic expression & talent. Why else did a movie like "Get Out" receive so many top nominations last year? Because it was a brilliant movie? Even though I have heard great things about "Green Book", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "The Favourite" & "A Star Is Born", I just can't bring myself to really care. Maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Just once, I’d like to see the network actually pull the plug on all these clowns right at the allotted time. Shut them down, take them off the air precisely at 11 o’clock, finished our not. Just once. They’d never again have to worry about that ridiculous, narcissistic, self-serving spectacle running over.? .

stuvian Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 No I didn't watch it and haven't done so in years. it seems to have turned into the Olympics of Political Correctness. Hollywood looks to be an artifact of an outdated monoculture. It appears to have lost touch with its audience. That said, I still watch some currently produced movies and TV. I cannot say the same for the music industry which produces nothing but immediately disposable techno-fizz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The Oscars were always a bit bland in their winners anyway. Alfred Hitchcock never win best director. Martin Scorsese lost 5 times before winning for The Departed. Imo, that was one of his weakest movies. Directors like Ron Howard typically fared well. People who make more sort of mainstream friendly pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
