2020 Oscars Discussion - complain about how Uncut Gems nor the Lighthouse weren't nominated here

[Atatata]

Sucks that Uncut Gems got snubbed
though not really that surprised, the cast gave the audience impressions that it would be something completely different.

Also where is Konosuba in the animated category? I heard almost nothing about the other movies there.

Now that would have been a sight to see. Just think of how much of a shit show that would have been once people actually tried watching it. Though, I am surprised Promare didn't get anything. It was a fairly average movie, but its not like Toy Story 4 wasn't.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

I'm surprised The Man Who Killed Don Quixote didn't get even a pity nomination considering the absolute shit Gilliam had to go through to get it released.

Gear up, folks, we're getting an #OscarSoWhite 2.0, especially if Joker sweeps. There's lots of blue checkmark black people posting very openly racist shit about white people if anyone wants to go salt mining.

You're acting like Hair Love isn't a lock to win best animated short. I also wouldn't be shocked if they threw Harriet a bone and gave it best original song (although odds are on Rocketman snagging it).

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

I can imagine they're grumbling under their breath about Joaquin Phoenix lol.

Lol at getting the optimistic rainbow for saying Joaquin is gonna win. He’s locked guys. Don’t listen to woke twitter, it’s clear Hollywood loves the movie both above and below the line. You don’t get things like sound and makeup nominations if there isn’t huge support for a film. Be happy for him, he deserves it.

Best picture will be between 1917 and Once Upon a Time... with Parasite and Joker as dark horses. Irishman has a Netflix bias working against it and ultimately the movie is more respected than loved. 1917 is that classy, historical war movie with a cool gimmick that the academy thinks gives them prestige. But I’d bet on QT.

It’s been 25 years since Pulp Fiction was nominated for Best Picture so it’s time to give Quentin the big one. The movie is everything these people love: it’s about Hollywood. It’s about boo hoo hoo how hard it is to be an actor. It stars two of the biggest movie stars on the planet. It takes place in the 60s so it’s perfect boomer bait. The good guys win in the end, so it’s not a total downer.

I’m not saying any of this as a reflection on any of these movie’s quality or lack thereof, just that how these things work. It’s not just about the movie but the narrative.

I don't see how that would affect people bitching on Twitter. It's Twitter. They're going to complain about everything.

Joaquin definitely deserves best actor, but Joker probably won't win any awards past that.

Once Upon a Time and Parasite were easily the best two films of the year, but the latter is more apt. to win best picture.

Cinematography is a toss up between 1917. for intense editing that makes the film feel like it was done in one take, and the Lighthouse, for the incredibly unsettling mood that it established.

Knives Out and Uncut Gems are good, not incredible. There's no reason why Sandler should have been nominated for best actor.

Where is most torrented?

Probably Uncut Gems because a good screener leaked weeks before it came out in theaters.

 

[Beanie]

inb4 Little Women wins Best Picture. You know it's gonna happen.

 

[Edgeworth]

LOL at Rise of Skywalker only getting like one nomination.

From this list, you'd have thought only eight or so movies came out this year. It's a small list but half of the ones on those lists are damn good.

 

[The Nothingness]

inb4 Little Women wins Best Picture. You know it's gonna happen.

Why is that one even nominated?

 

[Beanie]

Why is that one even nominated?

It's got big names involved (Greta Gerwig, Saoirse Ronan, etc.) and it's a remake adaptation of a classic novel. So yeah, it wins for sure...

 

[friedshrimp]

Joker and Tarantino getting nominations despite being slammed by critics as "dangerous"
Barely any SJW nomination.
The Disney/Mahvel/Rey Wars shit is nominated barely one or two times.

All is good.

 

[Midlife Sperglord]

Why do people still care about the Oscars? I stopped caring the year that Forrest Gump won Best Picture over both Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption. I should have not bothered to care at all after I heard about how Ordinary People won Best Picture over Raging Bull.

 

[Suburban Bastard]

I actually kinda like this lineup, might end up watching.

 

[Wuornos]

The woke crowd are reeeing over White people being nominated for awards in an industry that was originally pioneered by White people. So expect to see #OscarsSoWhite trending on twatter again.

I would like to see Joaquin Phoenix get best actor for Joker. QT deserves best director, but they'll give it to Bong just to appease the Woke hoard.

 

[Internet's Boyfriend]

I'm a little disappointed Alita didn't get nominated for Best Visual Effects, especially over Lion King and Avengers.

Tarantino will never get a best director award. He should've gotten it for Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. But the Academy wants to promote movies that can be sold to a normie crowd, with movies that aren't rated R.

 

[MrTroll]

Finally, another almost nigger-free Oscars nomination list. I've waited like 2 years for this glorious day.

 

[linchan]

I doubt Joker will win anything except best actor. I'm already surprised that it got this many nomination. I like the movie, I just have very little faith in Oscar.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Lmaooooo Star Wars gets nominated only for sound design, visual effects, and the score. I'm sad Alita: Battle Angel, Godzilla, and Detective Pikachu didn't get nominated for visual effects (fuck off, Lion King), though, but eh, I wasn't really caring much about the Oscars this year.

Toy Story 4 is most likely going to win Best Animated Feature because Disney, but I'd rather have any of the others win over it, even though the only movie I saw on that nominated list was HTTYD3 and that was still one of the better films I saw last year. 2019 honestly was kind of weak with gems here and there.

Since when? Half the best picture winners of the last two decades were R-Rated, and the other half were films no one in their right mind would ever see.
