My Ranking for Best Animated Feature Film: 1. I Lost My Body 2. Make Something Original Disney

 

Only one of the movies from this category is a Disney/Pixar movie though, all the other ones are from completely different studios

They’re all the same, have the same plots, have no substantive meaning, and I refuse to watch any of them.

Wow, you have a strong opinion on animated movies

I’ve already decided which film I’d award the animated feature film award to. I don’t want it to go to Disney/Pixar/etc. since all there films (save Coco) have the same copy and paste plot. I don’t want to the award to go to a sequel or remake. I don’t respect films that don’t push the envelope. So, I already knew I would award “I Lost My Body” the award. I just finished watching it, and I quite liked it thankfully. It’s a bit short for a feature film, but I didn’t take away from the story too much. I wasn’t really feeling it at first, but it’s a film that grows on you. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that I wasn’t watching it in the native language since Netflix automatically played the English version, so that might have taken away from it a bit. Overall, I though the idea was rather creative, though the ending could have been much better. I don’t like soft endings, and it actually made the hand feel pointless. Story wise, the pacing was good, the plot was interesting, and the film had a nice flow to it. I liked the order they presented things in, and I liked the darkness of the story since most animated films generally deal brighter themes. Overall, “I Lost My Body” scores a 7/10 (which is pretty good for an animated film, since I generally hate them all)

 

My Ranking for Best Animated Feature Film: 1. I Lost My Body 2. Make Something Original Disney

 

 

While I like animated movies more than you, the category is kinda dreadful this year. "I Lost My Body" is really the best thing here, although "Missing Link" would also be a fine winner.

Personal Ranking: 1. “Stand Up” 2. “I’m Standing With You” 3. “Into The Unknown” 4. “I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away” 5. “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” 

 

 

Jesus, I found the "Breakthrough" song to be really terrible, but maybe it's a reflection of my dislike with this unbearable faith-based drama. This year's selection for this category is the worst in years, I wouldn't nominate any of these songs and it's a crime that "Glasgow" from Wild Rose wasn't nominated. I would say I'm fine with Elton winning another Oscar, though.

The movie was shit, but the song was fine. This category does suck monkey balls this year though. I’ll have to listen to Glasgow, I’m going to try and get through some of the short listed material after the Oscars.

Kirk Douglas passed at 103. I'll remember him from the Ace in the Hole and Paths of Glory.

All based on his 'and I refuse to watch any of them'

The Oscars are this sunday so it's finally time for my annual predictions post. While I correctly guessed most categories in the last few years, it's been quite some time that I don't predict the right Best Picture winner. Once again I'm not confident at all, but unlike last year I won't be picking the foreign film nominee, although Parasite deserves the big prize and I would be thrilled if it wins (1917 is good, but it's past time a foreign language film wins this).

 

["will win" is my prediction / "could win" is my alternate prediction / "should win" is my personal ranking from what I've watched / "shoud have been nominated" is a way to remember other notable work].
