92nd Oscar Nominees
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
I think academy voters are so concerned with expressing this sentiment of whose turn it is to win or what they think will draw the biggest numbers (spoiler: nothing will) that they will always forget the best films.
The Florida Project, The Lighthouse, who does Willem Dafoe have to sleep with to get an Oscar?

General thoughts:
Joker is fine, I didn't love it or hate it, it was fine, but in this context I have to say f*ck Joker :)
I hypothetically root for Jojo Rabbit, I support its existence, but it's mediocre in most aspects. Maybe all.
Would have wanted Knives Out for BP over most things
Really need Hollywood to not win much.
Wanted Awkwafina. Although in terms of diversity, if she was gonna get in, Erivo would be out. So.
Favorite nomination: Parasite for Production Design
2nd fave: Knives Out screenplay

Scorsese had intimate knowledge of the film before it was even made.
"I know the film very well. I know Todd very well. My producer Emma Tillinger Koskoff produced it. I thought about it a lot over the last four years and decided I did not have the time for it. It was personal reasons why I didn't get involved. But I know the script very well. It has a real energy and Joaquin. You have remarkable work.
"For me, ultimately, I don't know if I make the next step into this character developing into a comic book character. You follow? He develops into an abstraction. It doesn't mean it's bad art, it's just not for me"
He's just not into comic book films.
Here's another of the animated short nominees... Kitbull.
This is my fave over Hair Love and Sister.
I don't believe the other two (Dcera and Mémorable) are on YouTube yet although they do have sneak previews to provide an idea of what they have on offer.

I feel the same way...I think it's a "he's been acting long enough, so why not give it to him (for acting)" award.
I'm fervently hoping Parasite wins best picture. It's about time we award movies outside Hollywood. Joker should get best actor but that's it for me.
This is what I could find.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/new-academy-members-2019-revealed-full-list-1221972
"The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is keeping up its pledge to diversify its ranks, inviting 842 new members from 59 countries, 50 percent of whom are female and 29 percent are people of color, the organization said Monday. "
"It is unclear how many members the Academy has in total. If all of those invited last year accepted invitations, the organization would have 9,226 members, not including this year's class. As of 2019, the organization disclosed that 32 percent of its members were female (up from 25 percent in 2015) and 16 percent were people of color (up from 8 percent in 2015)."
They are definitely making an effort to diversify their membership. But it is still mostly white men and that will take some time to change.
I'm calling it, Parasite will sweep the Oscar in its category. Best film of 2019 and one of the best in the last decade. The best film of the decade is Memories of Murder which is directed by the same director as Parasite.
I'll take "how to set yourself for disappointment for $800, Alex".
Oscars are not merit-based.
A24 sucks at campaigning.
Which one of these films was A24's main push?
In 2018 they screwed themselves by positioning the weakest film in their lineup (Mid90s) as their primary pony. They should've held First Reformed and Eighth Grade off until fall.
1917 is weird in the sense that very few people have had a chance to see it so it is hard to say what it deserves.
Not enough, it needs to win too. Starts the decade with a foreign film winning Best Picture for the first time.
I saw 1917 tonight, starts slow but gets really intense and the score is excellent. Very well done, mainly because of it being (seeming) almost all one shot. But I wouldn't put it above Irishman or OUATIH for Best Picture. The cinematography is very impressive technically since it's again all meant to appear as one take but just going by how it looks, it's no where near as visually impressive as Blade Runner 2049 or even Skyfall.
Personally I still would put Joker as deserving Best Cinematography. It's just striking.

It'll win best film for sure. It's about time people realise that the best and most well made film are not in Hollywood anymore.
Are Korean movies always super serious/everyone looks depressed and everything is tinted green like The Matrix?
It won the Palme d'Or for best film this year at Cannes which is considered the Oscar for all the movies in the world so what make you think it won't win this one.
The # of Palme d'Or winners to also win Best Picture at the Oscars in the 2000s = ZERO
You must have gotten it confused with the Grolsch People's Choice Award at TIFF.
lol...have you even watch Parasite? The first 10 minutes is straight up comedic.
Exactly one film ever has won the Palme d'Or and the Best Picture Oscar and that was in the 50s.
Just watched it last night. Margot Robbie is the best part of that movie. Would love to see her get the Supporting Actress win, really was the only part of that movie that was noteworthy. The rest is just kind of weak jabs at Fox News and Trump.
Her role should have been expanded. Think her story was the best and her exchange with Charlize is the only part of that movie that felt like it had heart.
He promised to make another bad movie if he didn't get either
Worth noting he's from The Band, who Scorsese made a film about(The Last Waltz), so they've been partners in crime for a while.
