So, am I crazy for predicting Lady Bird, as I did when my parents asked a while back?

that oscar voter "eliminated" an awful lot of movies despite it being a preferential voting system.

Three Billboards is gonna sweep isn't it, although i think Greta is an outside shout for Director.
This can't have hurt

Watched Pan's Labyrinth with my wife and older daughter last night. They both loved it, and boy is that movie better than Shape of Water. (And yeah, Del Toro really likes stabbing and shooting people in the face). As my daughter (who has not seen SoW) astutely observed, the horrific sadistic violence in Pan's at least makes thematic sense because its perpetrated by horrific sadistic capital F fascists in the midst of fascist Spain, not gratuitously in some government facility in '50s Baltimore or wherever by an inexplicable psychopath.
(Had to look it up, and Pan's lost best foreign film to The Lives of Others, which is fair enough. But had it been nominated for Best Picture, as it might of, say, this year, it sure would have beat the fucking Departed.)
Over dinner last night my wife, who had gone running that morning and talked Oscars with her pals, stated "Boy, no one likes Three Billboards, do they?" She has been tasked with bringing a dish to an Oscar theme party. She is bringing Three Cheeseboards.

Lives of Others is among the most awful of foreign film winners. Sentimental hogwash.
Why, after all these decades, are you confusing Oscar winners with quality?

why, after all these decades, are you so cranky this morning?

Del Toro's Spanish language films are his best, IMO. Must be the excellent catering.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Sunday, 4 March 2018 15:33 (six years ago) link
Because after all these decades their imprimatur can still sometimes draw someone out to see something that is not a superhero film?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 4 March 2018 15:46 (six years ago) link
I've only just realised that Michael Shannon wasn't nominated for The Shape of Water. I loved him in that more than I've loved anything he's done for ages. I guess the way Del Toro shoots him is a big part of that.

Haven't seen 3B (and don't wanna), but Rockwell's speech just reminded me of how much I liked him in The Way Way Back.

No rooting interest this year, so I'll duck in and out. But I'm glad I caught "Fred" Hitchcock.

she looks so fantastic
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 5 March 2018 01:32 (six years ago) link
hey this 'montage' before the acting awards is a neat idea
― piscesx, Monday, 5 March 2018 01:32 (six years ago) link
I wondered if "Fred" was a flub, or if that is what some people called him.
I'm glad their doing the montages, too. I'm a sucker for those things.

(xpost) I took it as what some people who were close enough to him actually called him--partly as a joke, maybe.

id rather watch a movie but i have money riding on this and feel compelled to watch sporadically thru whenever warren & faye do best picture at like 1am

― El Tomboto, Monday, 5 March 2018 01:51 (six years ago) link
I'd be ok with Raphael Saadiq winning on Oscar.
I'm convinced the Russian doc won just so Kimmel could make that joke about Putin.
