92nd Academy Awards |OT| Once Upon a Time in a Society

[Chuck]

Can Bong please win 4 oscars tonight

 

[Sanjuro]

Bong's hair is freaking me out.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Man I'm just here for Parasite but that international award might be the end of the line for Bong

 

[jaymzi]

Oh no at Bong's acceptance speech. Feels like he is conceding he has no shot at Best Picture.

 

[Meows]

I hope Jane Fonda leads everyone to a demonstration with all of them being arrested as she announces Best Picture.

 

[Joeku]

South Korea's never had any Oscar nominations in any category until this year, it's insane

Click to shrink...

Jesus.

 

[jett]

Practical effects are not visual effects though

Click to shrink...

My god some of you fucking people. Do you think visual effects is just CGI? Do you thinks category didn't exist before 1990?

 

[Randomly Generated]

So do "foreign films/international films" usually qualify for best picture? Just confused on how that works. I assumed that category always existed as a separate feature.

Click to shrink...

You can be nominated in both but it rarely happens. Same with animation.

 

[Emobacca]

Can Bong please win 4 oscars tonight

Click to shrink...

I'd bet good money on him winning Best Picture but Mendes has Director on lock

 

[Fat4all]

Oh no at Bong's acceptance speech. Feels like he is conceding he has not shot at Best Picture.

Click to shrink...

will just make his acceptance speech even better if he's not expecting it

 

[patientzero]

good ol elton john, too bad bohemain rhapsody came out first, rocketman was a better film in every regard

Click to shrink...

Rocketman and Ford v Ferrari were my biggest surprises of the year. I rated them a 3 and 3.5 out of 5, respectively, but they were both so enjoyable compared to what I expected.

 

[Cubo]

Really crossing my fingers that Bong/Parasite can get best director and/or best picture.

Click to shrink...

I don't see BP but I think it has good chances for Best Director.

 

[MinusTydus]

Holy hell, Elton is 72 damn years old?

 

[Hours Left]

So do "foreign films/international films" usually qualify for best picture? Just confused on how that works. I assumed that category always existed as a separate feature.

Click to shrink...

You can be in both, just as one of the nominated documentaries was also in best international film.

 

[jml]

Man I still have to see this Parasite movie, have heard so much about it... I saw the trailer but I couldn't make out what kind of movie it is. Is it horror?

Click to shrink...

It's more of a dark comedy/thriller hybrid than horror

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Bong's hair is freaking me out.

Click to shrink...

This also reminds me of the Joker.

 

[THEVOID]

Haven't seen Phoenix in the audience yet. If he aint there, its a good sign he isn't going to win. Unless, he is there and they just aren't showing him for whatever reason.

Click to shrink...

He's there and people have won Oscars while not in attendance.

 

[Deleted member 864]

good ol elton john, too bad bohemain rhapsody came out first, rocketman was a better film in every regard

Click to shrink...

Pretty much.

 

[FTF]

Can Bong please win 4 oscars tonight

Click to shrink...

Best case I think is they do a split and Mendes gets Director and Parasite gets Picture.

 

[Sasliquid]

South Korea's never had any Oscar nominations in any category until this year, it's insane

Click to shrink...

The Korean academy is weird and hates Park-chan Wook so have never entered his films

 

[blame space]

i refuse to believe any of these people are playing instruments.

 

[Miamiwesker]

Taron was robbed this year, better than Malek last year. Rocketman was great.

 

[renegade_sylens]

Jesus.

Click to shrink...

Just goes to show you how Euro-centric the Oscars used to be...

I'm happy of this change...

 

[shaneo632]

Picture/Director split is so much more satisfying most of the time. Would be nice here.

 

[Ryuelli]

Man I still have to see this Parasite movie, have heard so much about it... I saw the trailer but I couldn't make out what kind of movie it is. Is it horror?

Click to shrink...

Just watch it. The less you know going in, the better.

 

[Josh5890]

Can we let Elton stay on stage for a while longer?

 

[Zoe]

Where's Taron :(

 

[efr]

why

Click to shrink...

Because the movie comes out in two months.

 

[Okabe]

How much longer lol i gotta workout

 

[Fat4all]

ive got a three disc elton collection somewhere in my trunk, but i only have disc 2 in my player cuz it has levon and saturday night's alright for fighting

 

[Stoopkid]

Meh shoulda sung can you feel the love tonight.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Great reminder that Taron Egerton got snubbed.

 

[Ryuelli]

South Korea's never had any Oscar nominations in any category until this year, it's insane

For some reason I thought Okja was, but I guess that was just Cannes.

 

[efr]

Man I still have to see this Parasite movie, have heard so much about it... I saw the trailer but I couldn't make out what kind of movie it is. Is it horror?

Click to shrink...

Watch it without asking anything else. Its a mix of various genres.

 

[tophu]

How much longer lol i gotta workout

Click to shrink...

probably an hour and a half

 

[shaneo632]

The only song in this category that isn't completely forgettable pop slush nonsense.

 

[Halbrand]

My god some of you fucking people. Do you think visual effects is just CGI?

Click to shrink...

Lol you're just speaking out of ignorance. I went to university for film and now work in the business and all you need to know that visual effects is post production work is a google search, try it.

 

[Josh5890]

It's more of a dark comedy/thriller hybrid than horror

Click to shrink...

I second this statement. The trailer kind of misled the tone for Parasite

 

[denx]

Man I still have to see this Parasite movie, have heard so much about it... I saw the trailer but I couldn't make out what kind of movie it is. Is it horror?

Click to shrink...

no, its a black comedy thriller

 

[SnatcherHunter]

I'm still baffled how 1917 won over Lion King, Endgame, and Star Wars in Visual Effects

Click to shrink...

1 shot. It is an achievement!

 

[blame space]

Elton dancing along to his own song he just played being played as commercial music is a mood

 

[Randomly Generated]

Kinda wild they keep running this Amber Heard ad during the show, and as a bonus it calls her a humanitarian

 

[BowieZ]

Man I really thought John Williams stood a chance this year, to finally get some Sequel Trilogy score recognition (or Prequel Trilogy for that matter).

But everyone seems pretty sure it's gonna be Foreign-Sounding Composer Name 32039.

 

[Vault Boy]

I'd bet good money on him winning Best Picture but Mendes has Director on lock

Click to shrink...

How much money, exactly?

 

[TheAbsolution]

How much longer lol i gotta workout

Click to shrink...

At least another 45 minutes to an hour.

 

[Deleted member 49179]

will just make his acceptance speech even better if he's not expecting it

Click to shrink...

Also, according to what he just said, he might be accepting his Best Picture award completely drunk :p

 

[Chuck]

Great reminder that Taron Egerton got snubbed.

Click to shrink...

Definitely one of the worst snubs; it's up there with Sandler for sure.

 

[Dalek]

Can't wait for Devs

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

We still got the in memoriam, score, actress, actor, director, and best picture to go? This thing ain't ending by 10.

 

[overcast]

Still hoping for Tarantino/Bong splitting director and picture in any order. But mostly hoping 1917 doesn't just clean up.
