lol same. That’s why award shows are mostly jokes. It’d be nice if it gets better down the line when a more modern generation become the voters, not these Oscar bait loving old fucks

Let's have our own Oscars here.

Put me on the committee.

hey just replace "award shows" with "elections" and "Oscar bait" with "nationalism/racism" and you just described the state of American politics! (:

Ya know...this isn't a BAD IDEA!

Saw:

Three Billboards (again)
Darkest Hour
Dunkirk (again)
Shape of Water

Darkest Hour was decent, not bad/not amazing. It felt very similar to Lincoln for me (though a lesser version of that), where it was a pure acting showcase which is worth seeing the movie for, while the movie itself is nothing too flashy and is really just a by-the-numbers retelling of a slice of history. I did appreciate how perfectly this led into seeing Dunkirk again tho (:

Shape of Water I dug quite a bit. I get the non-subtle criticism but I feel like from the beginning this always meant to have the feel of a modern day fairy tale (which the ending definitely reinforced). Michael Shannon's character alone was worth seeing it for, he was amazing every time he was on screen. He def should've been nominated (especially compared to Richard Jenkins and Octavia Spencer??)

I think I'd go:

1. Three Billboards
2. Get Out
3. Lady Bird
4. The Shape of Water
--gap--
5. Dunkirk
6. Darkest Hour

Watch Call me by your name

Just saw the other 5 today. My initial update

1. Three Billboards
2. Call Me By Your Name
3. Get Out

-----

4. Lady Bird
5. Phantom Thread

-----

6. Dunkirk
7. The Darkest Hour
8. The Post
9. The Shape of Water

This is p. perfect

Yeah Boc, Call Me By Your Name and Phantom Thread are the best ones imo, don't miss out on those!!

I can't believe anyone pays any attention to these anymore.

They were invented as filler back when people only had 3 channels.

Does it hurt you that much to see people enjoy something?

Not at all. Why do dissenting opinions bother you ?

The first one wasn't even televised, it was not invented as a TV filler (:
