The 2019 Golden Globe Nominees are out; Black Panther nominated for Best Motion Picture
- Thread starter Sexy Fish
- Start date
My question wasn't, "What do you think of review scores?" It was, "Why do you think BP is the highest rated Marvel movie on Metacritic and released to widespread critical acclaim?"
It's the Globes. They have a much smaller voting body than the Oscars with very nebulous joining requirements, so their noms are always super weird
One of the worst lists of Best Pic noms I've seen, the Queen bio pic being included just tops it. It's been a good year for movies for me, even for 'award type' movies, and certainly ones fitting in the GG's "comedy/musical" category, but they just managed to outshit themselves here.
They put out screeners early for critics and film orgs and such.
Bohemian Rhapsody being nominated for Best Picture in either category is a fucking joke. But the Globes gonna Globes I guess.
Elsie Fisher getting nominated is great though. That's the kind of nomination that makes me glad the Globes exist because that's sure as shit not gonna happen at the Oscars.

Pretty much how I feel. I really think Infinity War is better all around but...
Because people seem to like it?
But people also love McDonalds.
And that's what Marvel movies are to me. The McDonals of the movie industry. BP might be the tastiest burger. But it still remains MCDonalds.
True and it's a god damn shame. She deserves every award for that performance. All of them.

Cool music
So if what if this biopic is grossly inaccurate for the sake of drama and good feels.
It did, but the Globes also nominated The Tourist one year which has 20% on Rotten Tomatoes
Infinity War was the better marvel movie.
It's not the better general movie.

Oh god I just had flashbacks of watching that trash movie in theaters.
Oh god why.
Globes got scared about viewership and went all MTV Movie Awards this year. Not like their picks haven't been suspect for a while considering their dumb split categories for films and actors/actresses.
It's a super hero movie that is no where near as good as other movies from that same company.
I feel like the only reason it's there is to stave off social media backlash and articles talking about "are they out of touch for not nominating black panther".
No one wants another Oscars So White equivalent.

These nominees are hilarious. Black panther and bohemian rhapsody? Seriously?
Its an average marvel movie, but with a villain that has an interesting motive. That's about it.

Green Book was a comedy? I laughed at Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Panther being listed as the best anything. They were OK at best.
And there it is...again. So ignoring the critical acclaim for the movie, you'd simply reduce the nomination to appeasing race baiters and mainstream movie goers?
I guess that's what happens when the guy who made Dumb and Dumber directs it. That sucks.
That's besides the point I'm making. There's other films people should be taking issue with besides BP, which makes total sense to have been nominated if you know how the Golden Globes work.

The Kutcher one was seen as way more inaccurate in its portrayal of people and retelling of events
What a terrible list all-around, good lord.
Bohemian Rhapsody should be nowhere near a "best" anything.

Edit: forget it, not the time or place for another should comic movies matter derailment.
Good for Marvel.
I honestly don't understand why people pretend to be surprised by this.
Black Panther was one of the best reviewed films of 2018. 97% on RottenTomatoes and 88 on Metacritic. On top of that, it was also a cultural phenomenon and and one of the most culturally important film releases of our generation.
When you put those two facts together, it's hard for me to understand why anyone would be confused at a Best Picture nomination.
