I've always enjoyed the Oscars. The only major nominated movie I've missed is 1917.

Best actor should go to Joaquin Phoenix but I thought Adam Driver was fantastic. You could feel his pain.

Best movie will be 1917 because I didn't see it.

Actress will go to Renee for Judy.

How about Parasite for director and screenplay (original?).

Don? Do you call for a sweep for Parasite, being Asian and all. LOL. Which girl did you like better, the sister or the daughter being tutored. I liked the sister better.

It's mostly a toss up this year.

But I would like to see Parasite take Best Picture, Joaquin Phoenix take Best Actor and Kathy Bates for best Supporting Actress...even though it's clear Clint is getting soft in the head.

In other news, it appears the producers of Birds of Pray will pay the price for being chicken livered sissies. The original script was ripped up, it wasn't "woke" enough. The full title of the film should be changed from: Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, to Birds of Prey: Margot Robbie gets Fudge Packed Again.

 
I predict Ill be watching something else
 
A whole lot of political nonsense !!
Racism is gonna be mentioned as much as they can plug it in and the SJW are gonna be out in full force .
Wouldn’t waste 5 minutes watching that load of trash
 
Yeah I'll allocate 30 seconds late tonight or tomorrow morning to scan the winner's list. Can't stand the actual awards presentation. Would be cool to see Parasite garner Best Picture but I'm not betting on it.

Me too. They should've hired Ricky Gervais. I would watch... and millions of others.
 
Watching the Oscars is even more boring than watching golf. I still enjoy the theater experience, but watching the Oscars nahhhh.

Not a burn. Does anyone remember James Earl Jones doing Letterman's Top 10 Hardest Names to Pronounce. My beer shoot across the room when he said Buotros Buotros Ghali.

Parasite was excellent, I saw it yesterday. Joaquin Phoenix has to win...Brad Pitt may grab best supporting.
 
What does Best Picture mean? Does it mean overall its the best movie? The best scenery ? The whole package? I'm getting different criteria on the internet.
 
I thought it was a decent show, but not outstanding by any means. They kept it to 3 1/2 hours and I know many have been much longer. Chris Rock was funniest. Maya Rudolph's shtick was lame.

Only surprise for me was Parasite getting best picture. Evidently the first foreign language film to do so.
 
Shitsky, I should have put money on it. The odds favoured it, 1917 was the other choice, but if they didn't give it Saving Private Ryan, they wouldn't give it to a war film that rang hollow.

I watched Chris Rock and Steve Martin, Brad Pitt won Best Supporting Actor due to politics.. It was a reward for producing films like 12 Years a Slave and The Big Short...it was a nothing role.

Olivia Wilde scored big at the less pompous Indie Spirit Awards, she won Best First Feature Film, she directed and produced Booksmart. She's a mediocre actor, she has great promise as a director.

 
Ricky Gervais should win a Nobel Prize for calling James Corden a "fat pussy". I fuckin can't stand that hack.

Park So-Dam from "Parasite" is killer gorgeous. Hands down. She actually deserved a Supporting Actress nomination.


"Joker" is a case of disguised perception. If the same film with the same great performance about depression, mental health issues and societal duplicity was done reality based, just a man dealing with these issues, it wouldn't get the same attention. Since it's filtered thru "Joker" world, then the masses flock to it. North America in desperate search of its mythology. It's a perfect example where the performance outshines the film. Adam Driver had no make-up or costumes to hide behind and his character came through just as strong, if not stronger.

"1917" is the favourite to win and an excellent film. "Parasite" truly deserved all its awards as it doesn't play it "safe" and goes dark and deep into its theme delivering fireworks. I hope now that "Memories of Murder", "Mother", & "The Host" get sought out by an audience interested in Director Bong Joon Ho and his other excellent work.

"Judy" was always a done deal for Zellweger. Garland is a Hollywood legend.
