92nd Oscar Nominees
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
I realize this is a slice, but does Scarlett Johansson have a chance to steal from Laura Dern?
Also that Parasite hope remains alive.
I managed to watch all films in all categories for the first time too, but yeah, I'm not sure if I'm going to repeat this next year. It was an interesting experience, but while I watched some great stuff (I'm way too invested in feature documentary after seeing For Sama) watching Maleficent 2 for Best Makeup was a tad too much (even if it deserves to be nominated in this particular category)
I saw some people theorizing this one might be Edgar Wright since it's very thoughtful and timeline aligns as the voter tries to explain his thoughts on every single film and he omits Corpus Christi, which Edgar Wright watched the day after the article was released. But who knows.

Watched Little Women this morning and now have seen all 9 Best Picture nominees. My rankings;
1) Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
2) Parasite
3) The Irishman
4) 1917
5) Jojo Rabbit
6) Marriage Story
7) Little Women
8) Joker
9) Ford vs Ferrari
This was such a great year for film that I would go as far as to say that my Top 4 would all be worthy of the big prize in many other years. Once Upon had the biggest impact on me. That ending has haunted me (in a good way) for many weeks now since seeing that film
It was the front runner up until the guild awards when it became a 1917 vs Parasite battle. I think Parasite has edged ahead and will win it tomorrow

He'll win it, and so will Laura Dern for Best Supporting. The only upsets I see happening are either Scarlett Johansson winning over René or Banderas over Pitt.
Oh yeah, I guess it's tiering time for the BP nominees:
The Legit Great Tier:
-Parasite
-The Irishman
-Little Women
-Marriage Story
The Almost Great but Still Really, Really, Really Good Tier:
-Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Not Sure What This is Doing Here, but Hey, it's a Lot of Fun Tier:
-Ford v Ferrari
Fine Enough, I Guess Tier:
-Joker
-1917
Mistakes Were Made Tier:
-Jojo Rabbit
The Legit Great Tier:
-Parasite
-The Irishman
-Little Women

-1917
Mistakes Were Made Tier:
-Jojo Rabbit
Didn't see Irishman, Jojo and Ford vs Ferrari. From those I saw 1917 is definitely my least favorite now. And I can't believe Irishman is worse because I consider all Scorsese movies I saw better than it. It's still a good movie but probably the only one I will feel disappointed if wins the BP category.
My ranking of the Best Picture nominees:
Great Tier:
-Joker
-Parasite
Very Good Tier:
-Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
-Little Women
-Marriage Story
Good Tier:
-1917
-Jojo Rabbit
-Ford v Ferrari
-The Irishman
Not a bad film among them. Unlike a lot of other years. No films that I actively disliked.

Super excited for the Oscars but I haven't seen Marriage Story, Jojo Rabbit, Little Women or 1917. I could probably get around two of them tomorrow if I feel like it.
I'm also thinking of watching the event in a 1000-audience theater for the first time.
Of the BP noms I've seen:
1. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
2. The Irishman
3. Parasite
4. Joker
5. Ford v Ferrari
I think I've come to like OUATIH less with time but I've only seen it that once when it premiered. And I didn't like the third act of Parasite which soured me on it. Liked the whole trip and loved the third act of The Irishman. Joker I've seen three times and I really like it. Ford v Ferrari felt great, had great acting and I loved those racing sequences.

Thanks for the recommendations!
Same here.
Largely in agreement although honestly I'd move joker down a tier and maybe swap Irishman and Hollywood
this is the first time in ages there's five great choices for best picture and they could potentially pick none of them lol
Saw Knives Out for the first time since TIFF, amazingly well done movie. It deserves the Oscar for screenplay, and a best picture nomination. It's the only movie not nominated I'd say that of. I haven't seen JoJo yet but I can't believe that's better.
The Irishman
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Marriage Story
Little Women
Parasite
Knives Out
Ford v Ferrari
1917
Joker
Avengers: Endgame
The Two Popes
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
The Report
The Lighthouse
Uncut Gems
Ad Astra
Dolemite Is My Name
A long list and even the last ones ranked there are really good. All of those are worth watching. What an insane year for film.

I agree with this almost completely. Only change I would make is move Jojo up one tier. Overall, it's a very strong batch of nominees especially compared to last year.
F v F is the only one of the nominees that I would say is unworthy of the nomination. I don't love Joker, 1917 or Jojo but I can totally understand why someone would. F v F is just kinda mediocre and I have a hard time believing many people would actually consider it the very best film of 2019.
This year A24 had Uncut Gems, The Lighthouse, The Farewell, Midsommar (high highs and low lows but Pugh deserved a lead nom), Climax, The Souvenir (not a fan at all but a critical darling) and The Last Black Man in San Francisco (only thought this was decent outside of the score and visuals) and more and not a single one of them got any Oscar recognition 😬
Hard to put it better than this https://www.newyorker.com/culture/t...-the-gulf-between-who-should-win-and-who-will
Author is a little smug for my liking but it's nice to see someone in the media acknowledge what Joe Pesci accomplished in The Irishman
This guy doesn't seem too hot on Parasite, it seems like every time he brings it up he's giving it some sort of backhanded compliment
I still need to see Little Women and Ford vs Ferrari for the best picture category.
It's really hard for me to choose which I think is most deserving since they're all so different.
I loved: Joker, 1917, Once upon a time..., and Parasite.
My gut says Parasite won't win but it wouldn't be a shock to me if it did.
I enjoyed but didn't love Jojo and Marriage Story. Marriage story felt a lot like a good Woody Allen movie to me.
I liked aspects of the Irishman but I don't think it's one of my favourite Scorsese movies.

GoldDerby.com is where you want to go for the most robust and competitive Oscar ballot competition on the 'Net.
Wasn't able to get to Ford v Ferrari in time, but I'd otherwise rank the BP nominees as:
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Parasite (imo the best of the bunch, Hollywood is just my personal fave)
Marriage Story
The Irishman
Little Women
Joker
1917
Jojo Rabbit
I liked them all though, and unless FvF turns out to be this choice not one that strikes me as egregiously out of place here.

Only movies I didn't really enjoy a ton were Once Upon a Time and Joker. Joker is a good movie, just not for me. I don't really understand the love for Once Upon a Time. I actually thought it was pretty awful, and I love Tarantino movies. The Irishman was very good but probably never watching it again.
Hoping Parasite gets it!

I hope this writer doesn't hurt his legs when hopping off that high horse.
OUATIH never pulled me, and you're right; I actively kept thinking every 5 minutes, "what is the point of this movie and why am I watching this?"
Masterpiece:
Parasite
Marriage Story
Damn Great:
Jojo Rabbit
Good but also decently flawed in one way or another:
Joker
Ford vs. Ferrari
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Okay, very well made but also kinda boring:
The Irishman
Little Women
Actually did not like at all:
1917
Only notable snubbed movie for me is Hustlers but I get why I didn't get nominations. I'd put it in masterpiece tier as well though.

Tried to WATch Hollywood Once Upon a Time... man, I slept just when Brad Pitt arrives at a ranch.
What a terrible movie. Worst film by Quentin. I'm completely disappointed. Parasite and JoJo Rabbit spit on all that bullshit of Hollywood. I hate that every year I have to swallow a movie saying how great LA and Hollywood are. Really really sad about it.
I was defending this movie and cheering for Quentin. I love him, but this movie could be so much better if it was about Leo story about leaving LA and trying to get a life in Europe. Leo and Brad are the only good thing about the movie.
Margot Robbie barely speaks. I hope Parasite or Jojo get the prizes. 1917 is a good movie, but it gets boring as soon as he crosses the bridge of the abandoned city.

This guy thinks Adam Driver was better in The Dead Don't Die than in Marriage Story? Is he serious?
Anyway, Parasite for Best Picture. Do the right thing, Academy.
