Still mad I Tonya and Florida Project didn’t get Best Picture noms! Even my favorite movie of that year Blade Runner 2049 should’ve been nominated instead of Darkest Hour.
Kevin 5012 Oh yeah that too. My 2nd favorite movie that year. I was SO happy to see a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination for it. That paved the way honestly for something like Black Panther and Joker to be nominated. I wish Hugh Jackman and ESPECIALLY Patrick Stewart got nominated. He deserved it way more then Christopher Plummer.
Mega MovieZ agreed Hugh and Patrick were amazing in Logan and it would’ve been great to see Dafne Keen as Laura get a best supppirting actresss nomination for some odd reason the Oscars don’t give that much award nominations for child/teen actors and actresses. I believe only four actors under 21 years old have ever won Oscars (Tatum O’Neal for paper moon, Anna paquin for the piano, Timothy Hutton for ordinary people and patty duke for the miracle worker)
Great year all around, Mega MovieZ: from snubs, nominees to winners. I enjoyed debating potential winners, remembering you favoring 3BB, and me predicting TSOW for BP.
A of lot people are talking about how “Darkest Hour” was the worst of the Best Picture nominees, but nobody is talking about how “The Post” got a Best Picture nom even though it’s ONLY OTHER NOMINATION was yet another Meryl Streep Best Actress nod
@Juani Di Cianni Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (Picture + Supporting Actor), The Blind Side (Picture + Actress), A Serious Man (Picture + Original Screenplay)
So agreed. That was a phenomenal category and it sucks that they gave it to Washington because it’s obvious the majority of the Academy didn’t watch the movie. Could’ve put Serkis, Pattinson, Gyllenhaal, McAvoy, or so many others in there instead
Ikr. Hugh Jackman or Robert Pattinson are the first alternatives that come to mind. Even nominating Tom Hanks would've made sense. At least we saw the film.
@@Lamidemonami7891 exactly, it should have been 1. Timothee chalamet 2. Gary Oldman 3. Daniel kaluuya 4. Daniel Day Lewis 5. Hugh Jackman ( for Logan) Chalamet was Better than even Oldman for me
I am so relieved to see there are Oscar Nerds like me out there who flipped a switch (in a good way) when Phantom Thread over-performed on nomination morning.
Me too. It looks like people voted just for seeing best/beautiful moments and didn't the whole music, it should have been at least nominated for best adapted screenplay.
Diego Pisfil No way! Logan wasn’t better than either Lady Bird or Get Out. You could definitely make a case for BR2049, tho. It was a great film and definitely should’ve been nominated
Diego Pisfil I like Logan more but Get Out is unquestionably better. Lady Bird is also an A+ movie so those were two bad examples considering they may have been the 2 best nominees
Zach Ruggiero Or someone hasn’t watched There Will Be Blood! Nah I’m just kidding. Idk which is his best film, but I love those 3 (TWBB, Boogie Nights, Phantom Thread) equally. TWBB feels like a modern version of Citizen Kane, while Boogie Nights feels Scorsese-ish and Phantom Thread is definitely his most Kubrickian film. It’s all about preferences in the end, but they’re all masterpieces
Best Picture Should’ve Been Call Me By Your Name Lady Bird Dunkirk Get Out Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri Blade Runner 2049 Good Time Phantom Thread The Florida Project Logan
@Diego Pisfil For me Blade Runner 2049 *DUNKIRK [WINNER]* Coco Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri The Shape of Water Wonder Woman Get Out The Florida Project Molly's Game Phantom Thread
Absolutely! DDL should've won best actor too! But since Gary Oldman was the obvious lock and it couldn't win any other major award there was absolutely no way it could've won 😞 It also wasn't nominated anywhere so I think those Best Picture and Director nominations themselves are the wins.
@@juncelcarreon7893 Yes, but it was submitted by Japan in 2016 and therefore eligible for the past Oscars. This is the longlist www.oscars.org/news/27-animated-features-submitted-2016-oscarr-race
Juncel Carreon For the 2016 film “A Silent Voice,” yes. But “Your Name.” had an Oscar-qualifying run at Laemmle Music Hall in LA for a week back in early December 2016.
The boss baby for animated feature was a complete joke. Holly Hunter, Michael Sthulbarg and James Franco deserved their nominations In the fade deserved a foreign language nomination Blade Runner for directing and picture I think Vicky Krieps deserves more the nomination for Phantom Thread than Leslie Manville I Tonya and Florida Project deserves more love Greta Gerwig for directing? I mean, Lady Bird is a great movie but DIRECTING? The academy hate the LEGO movies and that is disgusting Greatest showman deserved a costume and production design nominations (and This is me win over remember me) Good Time was completely snubbed The Shape of water is one my favorite winners of the decade, i love when art beats reality
@Diego Pisfil Yes, but Krieps could be nominated over Streep And honestly i don't think the performance of Manville is award worthy, Holly Hunter is the real nominee for me
@Diego Pisfil My nominations Best Visual Effects should be: 🔵 Dunkirk 🔵 *Blade Runner 2049* 🔵 Wonder Woman 🔵 War For The Planet Of The Apes 🔵 Star Wars The Last Jedi *WINNER: Blade Runner 2049*
@Diego Pisfil My nominations Best Animated Feature should be: 💜 The Breadwinner 💜 The Boss Baby 💜 *Coco* 💜 Loving Vincent 💜 The LEGO Batman Movie *WINNER: Coco*
My ranking of the Best Pictures nominees: 9. The Darkest Hour 8. Dunkirk 7. The Shape of Water 6. Lady Bird 5. The Post 4. Get Out 3. Call Me by Your Name 2. Three Billboards 1. Phantom Thread In general magnificent year for the Oscars except for The Darkest Hour
If I had to make a top 15 of what should've been nominated, I would've picked Three Billboards Blade Runner 2049 The Shape of Water Good Time Lady Bird Call Me By Your Name The Florida Project Get Out Phantom Thread I, Tonya Baby Driver Logan The Killing of a Sacred Deer Dunkirk And A Ghost Story
@Diego Pisfil My nominees Best Picture should be: Blade Runner 2049 Coco Darkest Hour *DUNKIRK (WINNER)* Phantom Thread Shape of Water Wonder Woman Wonder I, Tonya
@Diego Pisfil I haven't seen Molly's Game, Mother!, or the Big Sick. And I sister really like Wonder or Coco, but I wouldn't mind putting The Meyeorwitz Stories on this list
What is wrong with that branch ? Like this has been going on since 1994 when Hoop dreams arguably the greatest documentaries ever made wasn’t nominated
Get Out Dunkirk Lady Bird Call Me By Your Name Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri I, Tonya The Shape Of Water Phantom Thread The Florida Project Blade Runner 2049 What best picture should’ve looked like...... that is all
I wanted to see br2049 instead of the shape of water (for best picture) if we’re at sci-fi. And then that shit (which is one of the Singer worst films of 2017) won BP. Shame. Oh yeah! Did you actually watch Three Billboards, Sir Oscars? If yes, then there is no justice in this world.
_Your Name._ tried to compete for 2016, even though it had its expanded North American release in April 2017 (a distribution blunder if I ever saw one). I wanted _In This Corner of the World_ and _The Girl Without Hands_ to get nominated for 2017.
@@csjcsj2906 Yes, and I strongly suspect that's what led to its Best Animated Film win by the LA Film Critics Association, one of the major critics awards Oscar followers pay attention to. That win gave me so much hope, because every winner since the corresponding Oscar category has existed went on to at least get nominated for the Oscar. (The asterisk is _Waltz With Bashir,_ because LA gave their Best Film award to _WALL·E,_ which *_should've been_* a Best Picture Oscar nominee.) But that brief, Oscar-qualifying theatrical run was all _Your Name._ had in the Western hemisphere until its expansion in April. While the film broke bank in East Asia, it sat by as eventual winner _Zootopia, The Red Turtle,_ and _Kubo & the Two Strings_ took the rest of the N. American critics group mentions. _Your Name.'s_ LA Critics win was all but forgotten as Disney musical _Moana_ and European favorite _My Life as a Cucumber_ joined the aforementioned trio to comprise the final Oscar category.
I *_hate_* it when people judge _Abacus: Small Enough to Jail_ harshly *_without_* bringing up that it *_finally, FINALLY_* got Steve James (of _Hoop Dreams_ and _Life Itself_ fame) his Oscar nom.
Guys, as "Oscars experts" do you consider the campaigns for the nominations? As much as I love The Florida Project, and we know it's a much better movie than others nominees, there was no way it would get a nomination, A24 doesn't have the money for the campaign and they probably invested everything on Lady Bird. Unfortunately, the best campaigns always win... p.s.: I'm a fan of your channel ;)
This is the list for 2018 Best Animated Feature film: A Silent Voice The Breadwinner In This Corner of the World Loving Vincent Mary and the Witch's Flower
Logan should've won Best Adapted. Call Me By Your Name was good, but it was about an underage boy in a relationship with a guy in his mid 20s or something
What you both dislike Darkest Hour which was exceptional and maybe the best movie of this year and appreciate Get Out that was pure shit ???? Ok ... Like in Atonement everything is perfect in Darkest Hour
