LDOG 2,221 Posted February 9, 2020 #811 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) My personal ranking for best picture (like vini I also didn't watch Little women). 1. Parasite 2.1917 3.Once Upon... 4.Jojo Rabbit 5.Joker 6. Ford v Ferrari 7. Marriage Story 8. Irishman (the only fun part of this borefest was the crappy CGI ) Parasite is clearly the best film from this bunch, basically only patriotism from the voters can prevent it from winning.

I had a positive reaction to The Irishman, but the more I think about that movie, the less I like. I would reevaluate it but it's 3 and a half hours long so... no About Parasite, I think there's a chance of a win under the current preferential ballot system, but it would be the first foreign film to win in 90+ years of history, so I'm skeptical.

Olympian1010 7,580 Posted February 9, 2020 #813 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Trying to cram . Once a bad student, always a bad student. Just finished Marriage Story. It’s rather good. I found it more enjoyable than some of the other nominees. The only awards it deserves are Best Actor/Best Actress in my opinion. On to Edge of Democracy, then American Factory, Honeyland, Parasite, and the Doc Shorts. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

In my world Marriage Story would win Best Actor/Actress, but I'm happy that Phoenix and Zellweger are gonna win (Phoenix for his career, Zellweger because of her comeback). Are you gonna watch all of these before the ceremony? If so, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,580 Posted February 9, 2020 #815 Share Posted February 9, 2020 About 30 minutes into Edge of Democracy, and I already recognized a song used in the 2012 Handover Ceremony. No spoilers, but I’ve just found @hckosice a new favorite question for next weeks quiz. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,580 Posted February 9, 2020 #817 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Watching Edge of Democracy is painful. I’m watching the last three years of my life play out in front of my eyes, but in a different country. The similarity is that democracy failed both countries. The upper class wins in both cases The difference is that Brazil had a false impeachment, and the US missed a true impeachment. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,580 Posted February 9, 2020 #818 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Brazil is full idiots too. This documentary at least makes me feel a bit better about our democracy, ask me again in November though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I would reevaluate it but it's 3 and a half hours long so... no I can so relate to this. Though I did appreciate the second part of the film, which was very non-Scorsese for mobster films. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,192 Posted February 9, 2020 #820 Share Posted February 9, 2020 My preferential rankings for Best Picture is as follows: 1. 1917, 2. Parasite, 3. OUATIH, 4. Ford v Ferrari, 5. The Irishman, 6. Marriage Story, 7. Jojo Rabbit, 8. Little Women, 9. Joker Here's hoping Ford v Ferrari wins best editing or best sound mixing (or both). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
