Debatable. But when it comes to recent horror films, Get Out is no better than The Babadook or It Follows. It's a solid horror film, but not a great movie worthy of Best Picture.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

Surprised Wonder Woman didn't get something in one of the technical categories.

Kobe Bryant being an Oscar Nominee is kind of neat for me :p

This could be his year.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

Honestly I feel like Logan would have gotten some nominations if it weren’t a comic book film. The Academy seems to close off anything in a genre like that no matter how good or critically acclaimed. I think Heath Ledger was more of a special circumstance because of his death. Patrick Stewart deserved the Best Supporting Actor nomination just as much.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

It was nominated for Adapted Screenplay.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

To answer my own curiosity, the New York Times says a nomination in this category is, "a first for a superhero film."

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

I missed that. At least it’s something but it’s not really one of the talked about nominations. I think the big ones are Picture, Director, Actor/Actress, and Supporting Actor/Actress. Screenplay is still something but I don’t feel like it gets as much attention.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

And it is nowhere deserving of any of those. If a genre film was going to get it, it would've been BR2049.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

I think Stewart’s performance was worthy of a Best Supporting Actor nomination. :shrug: Easily one of the best performances last year and probably of his career.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

I actually think the Adapted Screenplay nomination is much more significant, in a way, than any of those other nominations would be, because it's a nomination that directly relates to the comic book medium. The material from which the screenplay was adapted is comic books. The comic book roots can be much more easily glossed over in those other categories.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

Have some catch up to do, when are the Oscars again ?

Best Picture:
“Call Me by Your Name”
“Darkest Hour”
“Dunkirk”
<strike>“Get Out”</strike>
“Lady Bird”
“Phantom Thread”
“The Post”
“The Shape of Water”
<strike>“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”</strike>

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

March 4th.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

AMC theaters will probably do their Best Picture Showcase again. That might help.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

:clap: Director's branch!

Two first-timers nominated. Impressive.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

Tickets go on sale the 25th.

Regal Cinemas did it last year for about half the price and for 10 days, but no announcement from them on whether or not they'll do it again this year.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

Thankfully, there are only 2 more I would like to catch. Might just use (the card I'm not supposed to mention).

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

Just wait until they bring up all of Kobe's past indiscretions.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

I guess I really need to make an effort to see "The Shape of Water." The trailers are impressive, but I had no idea that it was an oscar-worthy film. I'm looking forward to it.

Get Out was a surprise to me.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

It kind of built up some steam during awards season. Maybe I should watch it again.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

:lol: Well played. I wasn't trying for that.

It's bullshit! He didn't do it. He did not!

Or see them all for $10 with MoviePass.

Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
 

Not a single nod for Wonder Woman? Not even costume or technical? Very Interesting.
