Yeah I'm one of the few people who liked Pacino over Pesci in that movie too.
The award dinner scenes are too good.
Or the scenes with Tony Pro lol

I'm never taking the Oscars seriously again if Joker doesn't win every category it's nominated for.
i did like the joker, but i enjoy the tears more
plus its the fucking oscars, whoever wins this year gets to sit alongside with green book as best picture, hooray?
Brad Pitt playing Cliff Booth is one of those roles where, if Brad Pitt died tomorrow, that's the kind of character I'd like to think everyone would remember. So it's an easy fit to give him his first (likely only ever) Oscar for it, since he's not exactly an awards-caliber actor every time he steps in front of a camera.
Personally though, I would have nominated his turn in Jesse James.

And the Academy Award for Best Director goes to Wes Anderson for Jojo Rabbit
I skip last years Oscars because I felt it was an awful year for Films (didn't like hardly anything that was nominated For 2018 compared to 2017).
this year, I'll watch it since I like a lot of the films this year. Tho seeing how it's kinda hard to watch the Oscars I might not be able too

"How did you ever think of making a movie with this type of tone and aesthetic?"
I look at the supporting actor nominations and still can't help but feel pissed off for Willem Dafoe. A goddamn disgrace he didn't get a nom for The Lighthouse. By far the best performance I saw in 2019 from any actor.
I wonder if people online will stop dunking on Skyfall considering 1917 shows even more so that Mendes is a really good film maker.
I've seen Lighthouse and all the other movies and I honestly I understand him not getting in with Pesci, Pacino, Pitt, Hopkins, and Hanks. An incredibly stacked category. The only one I'd consider replacing for Willem Dafoe would be Anthony Hopkins.
Yeah I'm still annoyed by that snub. Love Tom Hanks but I would've bumped him off for Dafoe for sure.
The only one I havent seen is It's a Beautiful Day In the Neighborhood, so I can't really say if Hanks deserves the nom but imo Pesci and Hopkins didn't really do anything that made their performances seem award worthy. I'm not saying that they were bad or anything, but just way to subtle for my liking. I'm pulling for Pitt to win tho. Loved his performance
DaFoe's performance deserved to be nominated. I'd actually say he would have been my winner above all of those other mentioned performances (not to say they are bad, but I think DaFoe is just amazing in that role)
1917 is going to win Best Cinematography, right?
I mean, you can think whatever you want about the film, but there is no denying that the film is an audiovisual orgasm.

It's almost as much of a lock as Parasite is to win Best International Film, yeah
I wish The Lighthouse would get the one Oscar its nominated for, but yeah 1917 probably gets it.
Best Pic, really? I just watched it last night, and while the performances were phenomenal, I though the story was pretty weak.
It is pretty weak, and easily the worst of the nominated films.
I wasn't in it for the story. I was in it to go through the experience of a divorce and go through the emotions of these two people, and it did what it set out to do really well. It was also touching and hit at times. I thought it was beautiful.
They could have just nominated Portrait of a Lady on Fire or The Lighthouse and I would have given them my votes. But as I said, The Irishman or OUATIH taking it would be fine.

if the joker or parasite win a bunch of stuff it's probably one of the few years i'm aligned with the oscars. rooting for any.
It's still crazy to me that Tony Lip in RL played Carmine Lupertazzi in The Sopranos. What a life.
I hope Joker doesn't win BP. I found the movie to be just an incredibly ugly yawn that was just a redundant King of Comedy, and the fact that WB and some critics are trying to pivot the movie as an empathetic look at people who struggle with mental illness is revolting. The movie itself glorifies a murderer and scumbag, who at the end of the film, ultimately learns nothing about his behavior and is celebrated for it.
It's an incredibly ugly movie about inept, frustrated white male rage, but given that the Oscars prefers films that are popular and that celebrates the tastes of it largely white and conservative voting board, it seems like a shoe-in to win.
I still hope Parasite can swoop in for the last win, but I won't bet on it. It's not a "regular movie" as someone on the voting board said.

All this talk about Joker and while I don't personally think it's great, (I thinks is decent to good). I feel the 2 Oscars it's favorite to win are worthy winners
Best Original score and
Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix

This is some puddle deep criticism
It's worth seeing for the acting performances. But I found it incredibly miserable to sit through watching 2 people's relationship fall apart for over 2 hours & spend 90% of the movie bickering & fighting with each other.
Marriage Story is pretty great especially if you love acting. It's not for everyone though, I know quite a few people that hate it alot.
Same here. Pacino was vintage Pacino in that film. I wanted to go sign up for a union after watching his performance as Jimmy Hoffa
Marriage Story is phenomenal. Incredible writing and performances.
I was more making fun of the Academy Awards' lack of knowledge for the people behind the few films they watch.
Yes. Great performances by all. I cried like 3 separate times. I loved the subtle camera work too
If Joker wins will it incite violence? Don't really care about the Oscars or any awards but pulling for Joker and Phillips. The movie was getting torn up before it was even out. When nothing happened besides it being a monumental success everyone just vanished.
Implying that Jojo Rabbit is some sort of Wes Anderson rip-off is just ridiculous.
Jojo is a rare movie from the perspective of a genuine child. His logic was childish and we generally only saw the world from his limited perspective. Wes Anderson movies always have children talking/acting like adults. Wes' children characters are usually a bit more one dimensional too, and this is coming from a big Wes fan.

Locked in. They're not great. And are biased for Parasite.

Good field this year. The only thing I'm really on the look-out for is to see if Joker wins best picture. That would be an extremely interesting selection in a year with films like 1917 and Parasite.
That being said, I won't be watching. Might track the results here on Era, though.
