People will moan as usual but the lists for best picture and all the acting nominations are the strongest in ages, while also managing to factor in a few films people have actually seen as well.

People getting their knickers in a twist over Riseborough is weird.

 

She's a chameleon and one the of best actors in the world. Nice to see her getting recognition.

 

Also, this: “An Ostrich Told Me the World Is Fake and I Think I Believe It” is fucking fantastic, but wankers will vote "Fox, Dog, whatever" to it or, *sigh* "My Year of Dicks" which is 26 minutes long and a good reason why the  "animation is a medium not a genre" people should also reflect that, sometimes, some animation is basically live action that someone drew a bit (I'm being mean, there is one very good bit).

Surprises for me are no Decision To Leave, Barry Keoghan being nominated for The Banshees of Inisherin (not that i don't think he should be), Brian Tyree Henry being nominated for Causeway (he's superb in it and I hope he wins, he's just very real and when you see his name next to Judd Hirsch who has the hammiest scene in the hammiest film of the year, it's pretty stark the difference. Hirsch's nomination reminds me of Alan Arkin in Little Miss Sunshine though because i felt as good as he is he's barely in it, like not many lines, scenes. Hirsch just has one! And it's horribly false), no Aftersun for best picture, no Armageddon Time anywhere, no Babylon (except production), no RRR. I haven't seen Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, but watching the trailer it looks a lot more eventful and visual than i'd think a film slated for its pace would be. A lot of long films this year, Avatar, Babylon, Batman even, Tar.

 

The biggest surrpise though really when you think about it is no Batman for cinematography. I didn't like the film but no one can deny they do an incredible job visually.

 

Is Glass Onion up for adapted screenplay because it re uses a character, is that how it works?

 

Hopefully My Year of Dicks wins so someone sees the opportunity to yell it out.

 

I think Everything Everywhere will clean up. Best picture, best director, best editing, best original screenplay. Only thing is its action and humour getting in the way of its emotional stuff people like so much. Kermode always says films that win are ones with less aspects that rub people up the wrong way. I'd be surprised if the Fablemans and Spielberg wins much. Cate Blanchett for TÁR. Maybe Ruben Östlund wins director for Triangle of Sadness but they don't usually give that out randomly do they. I think the directing of that film is more impressive than the others listed. I think Austin Butler wins for Elvis, Hong Chau wins for The Whale, I don't think Brendan Gleeson does a lot in Banshees, not enough in the role to impress massively. I'd be surprised if Farrell gets an oscar. Some saying disappointing Tom Cruise wasn't up for actor. Reaalllllly. Nominated for an Oscar 3 times, Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire and Magnolia. Not even a nomination for Rain Man. Or Collateral.

 

After Bohemian Rhapsody won best editing i assume music scenes are catnip for voters so i wonder if Everything Everywhere will get that but with it cutting like it does it has to. Perhaps Ke Huy Quan is expected and Brian Tyree Henry wins supporting actor, i could see that.

Are all sequels automatically adapted screenplays? Looking at glass onion and top gun maverick

 

Yes, I don't think there's any situation where a sequel's screenplay could be classed as Original rather than Adapted. Even if it shared no specific characters, just a setting, with its predecessor.

 

The Wikipedia article for the award lists what all nominees were based on:

A few notable misses for me.

 

The Batman & Top Gun missing for Cinematography.

 

The Batman for best Score

 

Viola Davis Lead Actress for The Woman King

 

RRR missing from best forgein film and by all accounts Decision to Leave should be there too (I've yet to see it). 

 

Also Avatar shouldn't be nominated for best picture, but whatever, it won't win anyway.

Viola Davis, definitely.

 

RRR too cool for the stuffy academy.

It's not a sequel though, it doesn't share a setting, Rian Johnson is annoyed at Netflix saying it's a 'Knives Out mystery'. If Glass Onion came first then Knives Out would be called 'a Glass Onion mystery'. If Blanc wasn't in Glass Onion i wouldn't expect it to be classed as adapted. There is no other link between the two films is there, it's not the same world, just another murder mystery. With Blanc it kind of is the same world but i'm not sure Rian Johnson is sticking to any continuity and building a story for Blanc and his life outside of events that occur in the films. Might as well say The Fabelmans has been adapted from Spielberg's life.

If Spielberg wrote a movie about his own life, it'd be classed as an original screenplay.

 

If Spielberg wrote an autobiography about his own life, and then he adapted that into a screenplay which he then made into a movie, it'd be classed as an adapted screenplay.

 

I'm not sure what the rules say what would happen if someone wrote an unauthorized biography of Spielberg's life, and then, separately, Spielberg wrote an autobiographical screenplay and made a film from it, which happened to use the same title as the unauthorised book. You might then get into a weird situation where the book's author pursues a lawsuit to try and get screenplay credit, and Spielberg defends himself by saying he took it all from his own memories, and then the book's author says: "Ah, but why did you use my title?"

 

They've gotta have consistent laws to decide what to do in situations like that! Even if it can lead to oddities when someone is adapting their own work. For example, if Tarantino had published his novel version of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood before making the movie, the movie would count as an adapted screenplay. :wacko:

I feel a bit sorry for anyone up against The Fablemans / Spielberg.  I've not seen the film, and by all accounts it is very good, but a film about being a filmmaker? There's nothing filmmakers will want to vote for more than that.

Hmm, i never considered that. I...just can't see it though, the film in tone is more in line with War Horse, and it's not about filmmaking or being a filmmaker really, it's about Spielberg's parents.

 

It is unpredictable though, no one expected Green Book or Coda to win, or i didn't. Or Shape of Water. I think with Coda they liked Power Of The Dog just as much but gave that best directing so perhaps the same again with Spielberg getting best director. Can at least say though that Coda, Parasite, Green Book, Nomadland are all issues films and all left field choices. Fabelmans is one of those 'oscar bait' films that won't win anything like people expected it to.

I have a feeling they're going to go with Everything Everywhere. It's just giving me Parasite/Shape of Water vibes where it's one of those movies that was a commercial success (comparatively anyway, obviously it wasn't doing Avatar or Top Gun numbers), a critical success, it's left-field enough that there haven't been any Best Picture winners quite like it but it's digestible enough that it's not alienating to a more mainstream audience. It's got a nice message and that slight underdog status that has people rooting for it to win against the more conventional Oscar bait.

^ that's what I think. Although an hour ago I thought maybe Banshees would unexpectedly win loads, critics and filmmakers respond to McDonaugh's films because his dialogue is better than anyone elses, and they're funny and poignant. But he's been here before (but then not won) so maybe another actor of his wins or he finally wins screenplay. Everything Everywhere still feels novel. 

 

I was going to put a bet so am thinking about this more than I ought to.

It's like Guess Which Five Won't Win Best Picture? Baffling.

 

Applying that logic you might as well scratch either the Best Picture or Best Director category entirely, though.
