Scorsese had intimate knowledge of the film before it was even made.Never mind that, he was specifically dismissive of Joker (wouldn't even watch it) given it just apes his older films.
I haven't seen it yet but I definitely want to.
I mean Brad Pitt was alright in "Hollywood" ... but best supporting actor for that performance? Really?
does any one have the percentages of academy voters? Didn't they recently add a ton more women and minorities.. yet this is the result again?
For me he's at his best in DjangoLeo in Hollywood > Leo in Revenant
I think it was his best work since The Aviator
I'll take "how to set yourself for disappointment for $800, Alex".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.
A24 sucks at campaigning.Climax, The Last Black Man in San Fransisco, Midsommar, The Farewell, The Lighthouse, Waves, In Fabric and Uncut Gems are all 1,000% more deserving of nominations than stuff like Joker in every category that it's nominated for and they got absolutely nothing.
As a filmmaker and screenwriter, my childhood dream was always writing and directing something and winning an Oscar. Nowadays, I know that The Academy's opinions are worthless and these awards have no connection to the value of the art that is or is not nominated. It's the hearts and minds of viewers that matter and a nominee list this terrible in every regard is proof that award shows aren't a barometer for quality or worth. Safe to say that I can take comfort in knowing that I will never win an Oscar and yet, I will always be one hell of an artist and so are all of the fantastic artists who were robbed here.
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.Many here haven't seen 1917?
That movie is going to win a few for sure.
Not enough, it needs to win too. Starts the decade with a foreign film winning Best Picture for the first time.Parasite getting a Best Picture nom is already a win in my books.
So happy for Bong Joon-Ho. He's one of my favorite filmmakers and I'm happy he's getting top recognition after making quality films for so long.
Joker, a comic book movie, got 11, eleven count 'em on your fingers although you don't have enough, nominations.
Rest of Hollywood, are you even trying?
Auteur filmmaker Todd Phillips showing how you level up. Tarantino and Scorsese, taking notes.
In the last ten years, Green Book, the Artist and King's Speech all have won best picture. I don't think it's a "cut above the rest".
Many here haven't seen 1917?
That movie is going to win a few for sure.
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.I'll take "how to set yourself for disappointment for $800, Alex".
Oscars are not merit-based.
It won't for sure.
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 = ZEROIt 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.
Oh honey... you must be new to this.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.
No? How many Korean movies you even seen lmaoAre Korean movies always super serious/everyone looks depressed and everything is tinted green like The Matrix?
lol...have you even watch Parasite? The first 10 minutes is straight up comedic.Are Korean movies always super serious/everyone looks depressed and everything is tinted green like The Matrix?
Exactly one film ever has won the Palme d'Or and the Best Picture Oscar and that was in the 50s.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.
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.
Uncut Gems not nominated? Adam Sandler not nominated?
Horse shit.
