Alright, way to go fish-fucking!

Apparently the shape of water is a tear drop, flying out the faces of every conservative who wanted anything but the movie with the women or the movie with the black guy to win.

I wish this and Get Out could be co-winners because that's what you guys deserve for taking this bullshit Hollywood-handjobfest seriously in the first place.

Fish sticks won. Get over it.

For me

Shape of Water and Three Billboards were about tied for my favorite of the 7 best picture nominees I saw
then The Post
then Get Out
then Lady Bird
then Dunkirk
then Darkest Hour

Basically, I thought Dunkirk was technically awesome and, of course, great to see a tribute to that great story, but the lack of character depth and what not really hindered it from fully resonating with me.

Darkest Hour was very enjoyable but more of an acting showcase than anything else.

Lady Bird and Get Out were entertaining and well written. The Post was far more compelling than I expected it to be.

But I thought the top two were the best combination of acting, interesting characters and quality storytelling. Also liked the fusion of genre in both.

Whats right is right. This is the biggest award of the night full of really lame skits and jokes.
 
Phantom Thread is still my top dawg for 2017. easily.

anyways I’m off to go have a night cap fap to Helen Mirren & fall asleep.

He started the show by saying men shouldn't have penises, and he ended the show by saying he wishes he was a woman.

Yeah I'd say he's a lock, they might even make him president of the Academy.
 
Del Toro winning for TSOW is akin to Scorcese winning for The Departed or Pacino winning for Scent of a Woman.

The same guy who was a host of The Man Show. How about he turns in his man card and everyone else keeps theirs.

Blade Runner and Coco stood out to me more than any of the seven to be honest. People might give me flack for Coco, but when Pixar hits, they knock it out of the park. Really resonated with me in the same way that Up did nearly a decade ago.

Blade Runner 2049 speaks for itself.

I'm amped to see Phantom Thread. Kind of pissed I missed it up to this point to be honest.

At the risk of getting progressive'd to death, I don't have much interest in Call Me By Your Name. And before any of you rogues call foul and accuse me of bias, I've heard from a buddy of mine that it draaaaaags.

I got 21 out of 24 predictions correct. Unless anybody here else got a better record (I don't have time to check through the thread), I think I'm the champ two years in a row. Eat it, Petey.

I couldn't tell if the "wish I was a woman" was meant to be a smarmy comedic comment or whether he was legitimately trying to say that.
