Hooray, the Academy is literally solving racism, folks!
It's "Crash" all over again!
Let's not get all pessimistic yet. There's still time for them to get things right.Roma is probably taking the DGA, so it's gonna take one of the other Oscar frontrunners winning the SAG award for best cast for Green Book not to be the prohibitive favorite.
Spike Lee having to sit through and watch another movie about ending racism winning all the awards all over again is a gigantic mess. Just terrible.The potential best picture winner being either Green Book or Bohemian Rhapsody is just....

(You know it's bad when the A Star Is Born sweep outcome is more palatable than this.)
I mean, yeah, the PGAs did get the eventual Best Picture right last year but they were off the mark the previous two years with The Big Short and La La Land.
On the bright side, Green Book isn't in the running for the SAG ensemble prize. So we can take some solace in that.Globe + PGA means it's probably the favorite right now, but not by that much. Globe + PGA + SAG means everyone else has very little chance, especially since the actors make up the largest percentage of the Academy.
Also, the PGA has been right 21 out of 29 years.
On the bright side, Green Book isn't in the running for the SAG ensemble prize. So we can take some solace in that.
2015Also, that means if Roma does win at the DGAs, then the directors, producers and actors will have all picked separate movies. I wonder when the last time that happened was.
2015
Directors guild went for The Revenant.
Producers guild went for The Big Short.
Actors guild went for Spotlight.
Golden Globes went to The Revenant and The Martian.
Best Picture at the Oscars went to Spotlight.
Compared to this year...
2018
Directors guild went for (BlackKklansman, Green Book, Roma, A Star Is Born, Vice).
Producers guild went for Green Book.
Actors guild went for (Black Panther, BlackKklansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy Rich Asians, A Star Is Born).
Golden Globes went to Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book.
Best Picture at the Oscars goes to ??????????????.
The movie actually isn't terrible. Mahershala Ali is legitimately great... he's great in everything... although there's absolutely no way in hell that's a "supporting" performance. He's a lead actor.
no
no
That's not much... but you're right.Well, at least Green Book is better than Bohemian Rhapsody (that's all I got)
So the BAFTAs is going down right now I see?
Saw Into the Spider-Verse won Best Animated, Roma for Best Foreign, and Black Panther for Best Visual Effects. And Letitia Wright for the Rising Star award.
I wouldn't say that. Preferential ballot makes a world of difference and BAFTA has missed on Best Picture pretty much ever since the Academy adopted it.While maybe it's not a lock at the moment, I can't imagine anything beating Roma. It's not over until it's over, but even Green Book would be a surprise right now;
I know how the voting works. I know BAFTAs are not particularly good indicator for BP race but with Roma's win there The Favourite's chances are truly dead
Honestly Bohemian Rhapsody winning would be way worse than Green Book. Imagine a movie that portrays gay people as villains winning an Oscar in 2019.If "Green Book" wins, the Academy will get raked over the coals for it. In the social media age, the Oscars cannot afford to have another "Crash"-type debacle.
You're not wrong. It's also a worse movie overall with a child molester for a director. Pretty much ANYTHING would be better than that.Honestly Bohemian Rhapsody winning would be way worse than Green Book. Imagine a movie that portrays gay people as villains winning an Oscar in 2019.
I believe there's some dollar figure floating around that Netflix has spent $20 million on netting Roma its Best Picture win back in January and I'm sure that amount has ballooned even larger than that now. Hopefully Hollywood's love of money and being bribed wins out over its other predispositions. I would love to see Roma win as it's my favorite movie from last year.Roma will won BP. I've been confident in that for months. I know some of y'all kept bringing up that it's netflix, it's black and white, Spanish, etc. it just doesn't matter. Netflix campaign has been outstanding and it's going all the way.
Apparently we're being blamed for Green Book's win. After all this was written by lazybones18 last night when I insinuated that Green Book might win a little over 24 hours ago.
If Green Book wins Best Picture, I'm blaming UberTag and ViewtifulJC!
I'm sure it'll be on Netflix soon enough.Mail me $20 so I don't have use my own money to watch Green Book

They spent $30 million when all was said and done.
Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood look like on paper frontrunners, but's it's hilariously early. Nobody even mentioned Green Book or the Shape of Water until the summer, and nobody ever considered them as contenders until the fall
