What’s the over/under on Rockwell doing his little dance if he wins?

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

won't do it. but will win...

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

Looking forward to the show. This is the first year that I’ve seen all the best picture nominees. Thanks MoviePass!

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

I'll follow the thread here, but won't be watching. I've only seen Dunkirk out of the nominees

This looks to be one of those years that I will be more actively rooting against a front-runner that I don't like (Three Billboards) rather than for a film I do (Lady Bird, Get Out). I'll be happy for Roger Deakins though, so that's one winner I expect to be delighted about.

Two fun pre-Oscar things I found today:

1) This graphic is pretty interesting. It shows the nominees for all 90 years represented by dots for the frequency that they have been nominated in the category (though I ignore Foreign Language since they are representing countries rather than directors)
https://espnfivethirtyeight.files.wo...=90&strip=info

Current nominees are green dots. Thought Deakins would be a bigger dot. Some Cinematographers must have been nominated a bunch. You can see Denzel and DDL represented by good-sized green dots there.

2) CNN put together a ranking of the 18 Best Picture winners since 2000. Their list is pretty good (though I think they have Million Dollar Baby a little too high and A Beautiful Mind a bit too low). If Three Billboards wins, you can go ahead and slot it in at #18 for next year's list.

Fucking John Williams, like a boss! :lol:

It sucked. I blame Harvey Weinstein.

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

I'll be watching the Oscars live and commenting here, as well as on my own forum but no one else'll be over there.

I've seen 7 of the 9 Best Picture nominations, 4 of the 5 Best Actor nominations, 4 of the 5 Best Actress nominations, 4 of the 5 Best Supporting Actor nominations, 4 of the 5 Best Supporting Actress nominations, none of the Best Animated Feature Film nominations, 4 of the 5 Best Director nominations, none of the Best Feature Documentary nominations, none of the Best Foreign Language Film nominations, 4 of the 5 Best Adapted Screenplay nominations and ALL of the Best Original Screenplay nominations. So take my comments for what they're worth.

Not much.

The intro was funny, for a change. Whodathunk.

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

I’m thinking ugh already. That can’t be good...

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

Sammy for the win

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

No surprise there.

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

Is this Elizabethian England?

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

It was? Could have fooled me.

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

So happy that Phantom Thread won for costumes. The costumes were the real central focus of the movie.

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

3 for 3!

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

Just tuned in. Have they performed "This is Me" for the audience?

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

No songs yet. MJB will perform the first one in a few minutes

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

Dull show so far.

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

Icarus is a pretty good choice.

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

I know I'm really late with this but who the hell dressed Armie Hammer? A burgundy suit, are you fucking kidding me?!

Re: The 90th Academy Awards --> 2018 Awards Show Discussion
 

It's stupid montage time!

It isn’t great so far but I have appreciated the old movie clips sprinkled throughout. More of those and less Kimmel schtick and I’m good. :up:
