EXCITED ABOUT:

- Anything Get Out related. My favorite movie from last year. It felt like a pipe dream at the time but I’m so glad it’s an Oscar contender now. A Best Picture nom is awesome, and I’m real glad Peele and Greta Gerwig got best director

- Some Woody Harrelson love for Three Billboards

- Emily and Kumail nom for writing Big Sick

NOT HAPPY ABOUT:

- The lack of Logan :( . If any superhero movie was gonna be a contender post-Dark Knight it should’ve been Logan, it was so good. I would’ve loooved to see Jackman nominated for best actor, he was amazing and deserves it. Especially since he was so snubbed for Prisoners, he’s such a good actor. Get Denzel outta there for that crap movie. Patrick Stewart for supporting actor would’ve been real cool too

- Shape of Water leading noms. Meh. Wish I liked it more but I just didn’t. I hope Three Billboards smashes everything if Get Out doesn’t

- Three Billboards director getting snubbed

- Would’ve liked some love for Wind River/Ghost Story/Good Time somewhere

Did Sufjan do the soundtrack for Call me by Your Name? I wanna see it even more now

Pulling for:

Best Picture
Get Out
Three Billboards

Best Actor
Daniel Kaluuya

Best Actress
Frances McDormand

Supporting Actor
Sam Rockwell

Supporting Actress
Metcalf was good and the only one I’ve seen

Director
Jordan Peele winning would be amazing

I've been thinking about the number of actors in two or more of the big movies this year

Lucas Hedges in Three Billboards and Lady Bird
Timothee Chalamet in Lady Bird and Call Me by Your Name
Michael Stuhlbarg in Call Me By Your Name and The Post AND Shape of Water (and Fargo this year)
Caleb Landry Jones in Get Out and Florida Project and Three Billboards (and Twin Peaks this year)

That's crazy. Stuhlbarg made three movies this year and ALL THREE are nominated for Best Picture

Best Picture ranking:

1. Get Out
2. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
3. Lady Bird
4. Dunkirk
5. The Shape of Water

Gonna watch the rest when I can. Interested in Call Me by Your Name more than the other three. Then Phantom Thread then The Post then Darkest Hour probably

That was Nolan’s first directing nom ever. Wish he got it earlier for something else

Nofo @ 23/1/2018 14:50

also can't believe sufjan was nominated for mystery of love and not visions of gideon. the superior song.

Visions of Gideon is FAR superior. Been listening to the shit out of it ever since I saw it

I've watched the Visions of Gideon scene about a dozen times now which is rly saying something considering how little is featured in the scene

1. Get Out
2. Call Me by Your Name
3. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

>>>>

4. Lady Bird

>>>>>

5. Dunkirk
6. The Shape of Water
7. The Darkest Hour


First three are basically tied, any combination that I come up with feels right to me. I acknowledge that Get Out is more of a personal favorite of mine and that the other two are overall better movies by a smidge. CMBYN probably sticking with me a bit more than Billboards but both are amazing

Dunkirk and Shape of Water are probably the biggest letdowns of the year for me. And Lady Bird in its own way tbh but to a lesser extent

High expectations really just did Lady Bird no favors in my case

1. Get Out
2. Call Me by Your Name
3. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

>>>>

4. Lady Bird
5. The Post

>>>>>

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

LOVED IT

1. Get Out
2. Call Me by Your Name
3. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

LIKED IT

4. Lady Bird
5. The Post
6. The Phantom Thread

DISAPPOINTED

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



DOOOONE

This is actually the first time I've seen all of a year's best picture nominees. I looked back at every year and there's at least one movie from each batch that I haven't seen. This was probably the first year I was committed to trying to see them all

Miko @ 22/2/2018 4:09

Have seen um all as well besides Three Billboards and The Post - will see them both soon though! Heard really mixed reviews about TB so I'm going in with low expectations to make sure I won't feel dissatisfied. Frances hardly dissapoints, so we'll see how it is! The Post looks like plain-old oscar bait though, so I'm going in to that with actually really low expectations. May be surprised, although I doubt it. From the films I have seen, here are my opinions: Call Me By Your Name really stuck with me and resonated with me on a personal level - also just the the subtle way of story-telling I found very admirable. Also - entirely agree with you guys about Visions of Gideon being the better and more impactful song. That final scene was heartbreaking and amazing at the same time, Timothee is quite the actor!! Lady Bird was okay, I saw it a couple times, and though it's very down to earth and chill in it's storytelling, just whenever I look back on it - it seems to me that it was incredibly over-hyped pre-release which most people now feel like they have to follow the herd of critics by calling it the best film of the year, which lol no. Definitely not. Still a great directorial debut that I enjoyed watching. Phantom Thread was great! It had that signature-style of zany storytelling that PTA is known for - found myself laughing at scenes due to it's subtle dark-comedy. A strange film - a beautiful character study. Daniel Day Lewis and Vicky Krieps' chemistry was great, I felt like the 2 were working off of eachother really well in the film. It felt very natural. The Shape of Water; had such high expectations for this. It's a great story that I feel had it been told in a more subtle fashion - I would've loved it a significant amount more. Guillermo del Toro is an interesting director in that he always does an amazing job in creating atmosphere and clever ways to convey simple stories, but it's always been hit or miss with him imo. I saw this one almost 2 months ago now, and it's just remained kind of a dissapointed memory in my mind considering I was so stoked for it. It just had such a black/white way of storytelling that I was really let down by. Get Out is great! It's so much more than just a social commentary film - the entire film is just seeping with genuine authenticity. Truly unsetteling, and it had that Kubrickian touch at times, which gets me excited for future films by Peele. Darkest Hour, lol talk about pandering! Sure, as a character study it's something - Gary Oldman's performance was pretty great, but god damn, could there possibly be a more safe option for a nominee? The Post maybe... but yeah, came in with low-expectations and most definitely was not impressed, so yeah, this one was a stinker - I feel like there a handful of other films that got snubbed that deserved the nomination instead, but hey, it's the academy, guess we gotta expect their 2-3 safe choices. Dunkirk - meh, I liked it for what it was. Felt like Nolan really captured the feeling of fear and anxiety really well - as you felt unsettled while watching it. The cinematography was on point as well, it's just a lack of connection to the story just ultimately made this film pretty forgettable, especially for Nolan standards. How I'd rank them so far: 1. Call Me By Your Name 2. Phantom Thread 3. Get Out 4. Lady Bird 5. Dunkirk 6. The Shape of Water ------- 7. Darkest Hour

I agree with p much all of this
