Oscar Nods announced

It's been weak for several years now. Remember the days with Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump were nominated in the same year?
Not really considering I was 7 but I catch your drift
 
"The Ballad of Buster Scruggs," Joel Coen , Ethan Cohen.

They should've called this: "We had a bunch of costumes, sets and props left over after re-making True Grit, so..."
 
Jesus what a dog shit year. Bohemian Rhapsody AND Black Panther nominated for Best Picture ??
 
Not gonna lie, this year is pretty thin picking for quality movies.

I really enjoyed old man & a gun and the Mule. Neither one of them were oscar worthy but they were still better than all of the nominees (havent seen Favourite, Roma, or Green yet)
 
Truly awful list of shit movies.

Combined with the embarrassing mess over picking a ‘non-offensive’ host...

This looks primed to continue last year, & be another ratings disaster for the Oscars. I certainly don’t give a fuck about any of these.
 
For how loud Social Justice Warriors wail, I'm always surprised at how loud people complain at the mere suggestion of something being "Social Justice" motivated.

Nah it's not that really. It's just those movies REALLY aren't all that great. Neither of them really blew my socks off. It's just blatantly obvious that half of them were picked for those very reasons alone and not on their own merits.

The majority of the posts are saying that they were nominated because of a SJW agenda. -Thats what my post was about.

Not the truth that they were good movies, in a field of competitors that weren't noteworthy.

The year had nothing remarkable like Schindlers List to rise to the top.
 
I enjoyed the movie Upgrade more than any other listed for any nomination.....

same goes w/ Den of Thieves
 
Ok then. What does others think should have been the best picture nom for 2018?

Mine: A Quiet Place.

Here's why. It was ground-breaking. Sure there is a lot of movies with little sound in them but how many movies have you gone to see where it shut the ENTIRE movie theatre up. I was afraid to drink my damn coke because of how loud my straw was.

Dramatic without being sappy. They didn't even need to say much to act well, stellar job by the whole family in there.

Action that does not go above bored.

Actually suspenseful.

One of the very few movies I've actually purchased to own in a long, long ass time.

There's more but I don't want to make this TLDR
 
I might not even bother to watch this shitshow this year.

Black Panther wasn't even the best comic book movie last year, let alone one of the ten best films (...but it's so woke though)


Not even the critics could bring themselves to admire Vice or Bohemian Rhapsody

Where's Hereditary?
Death of Stalin?
Annihilation?

you know?.............something original
.
 
Rooting for Richard E Grant for Supporting Actor, would love to see Withnail get his hands on an Oscar.
 
You MUST watch the Oscars this year sherdoggers. So lady Gaga can tell you how to vote. Obviously middle America cannot make these decisions by themselves.

On a lighter note. Why isn't my boy Buster Scruggs up for best picture. : (
Don’t fret, the only reason Gaga will be leaving her seat is to give Olivia Colman a standing ovation as she brings Best Actress back to Blighty!
