dcro 10,179 Posted February 25, 2019 #281 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The Favorite on the road to get 0/10... Too many Oscars for Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Panther. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,470 Posted February 25, 2019 #282 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Big upsets as Roma loses best picture and Close loses best actress. I’m really sad that BlackkKlansman didn’t do well. Happy for Bao too. Really wanted Dentainment to win and cause controversy, but...oh well. I’m really curious to see Capernaum now too (even though it didn’t win). “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Vojthas 947 Posted February 25, 2019 #283 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Only one for "The Favorite" (the least expected for me), no Oscar for monarchist films for make-up/costumes, and a loss 0:3 in a match between "Cold War" and "Roma". Not the best night for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 5 wrong predictions, my alternate prediction was the winner. Overall, a night with some good awards but I can't really get into Bohemian Rhapsody winning FOUR oscars, more than any other movie. That movie was pretty lame. Sad for Close but Colman had the best performance + the speech was great + it was the only surprise of the night (in a ceremony which I hoped for much more unexpected results).

LDOG 2,199 Posted February 25, 2019 #286 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It was easy to predict best picture. No way a foreign language film would win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think it has more to do with the content than the fact that is foreign. Times have changed a little and something like Life is Beautiful (just naming an extremely popular foreign Best picture contender from the past) could win in a year like this. But yes, that plays a huge difference + it was a Netflix movie and the Academy maybe doesn't want to award one of their productions in the big category. Still, 3 Oscars is something to be proud of.

But those movie were arguably more accessible/popular that their competition (Boyhood/Three Billboards), unlike Roma which was an "artsy" movie in style compared to its close competitors. I'm not saying language hasn't played its part, but I see maybe in the next decade that barrier being broken - or at least I hope so. Anyway, of the last 6 best Director prizes, 5 went to mexicans (2x Cuarón, 2x Inarritu, 1x del Toro). So I guess del Toro wins the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,470 Posted February 25, 2019 #290 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Apparently Spike Lee went off after Green Book won Best Picture, caused a real scene off-camera.
