The 90th Academy Awards (March 4, 2018) TV Show • Page 4

Actually really happy with these.

Cool Things
Jordan, PTA and Greta getting Directing nods - Had low expectations and was super happy with all five nominees
Daniel Kaluuya getting in, and Franco not
Sufjan getting a nod for CMBYN's song
Remember Me getting nominated for Best Song
Jonny Greenwood getting a nod for Phantom Thread
The Shape of Water's score getting a nod
The Big Sick in Original Screenplay
Baby Driver getting three technical nominations
Blade Runner 2049 getting a BUNCH of technical nominations

Disappointing Things
Tiffany Haddish not getting a nod for Girls Trip
Michael Stuhlbarg and Armie Hammer not getting nods for CMBYN

 

meant Stuhlbarg and Armie

understandable confusion mah b

 

maybe i'm misreading this, but didn't timothee get nominated for best actor?

 

Need to see Dunkirk, Darkest Hour, Shape of Water and the Post in terms of BP. Not looking forward to Darkest Hour at all

 

TRUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

meant Armie and Stuhlbarggggggggggg

 

I love how quickly we went from burn the academy to the ground to nice work guys

 

your response popped up as i replied, all good.

 

I feel like this happens every year lol

we always think we have them figured out and they pull a fast one

 

Christopher Plummer got in for his patch job in All The Money In The World, and nothing more, so the fact that he stole Armie’s nomination is real annoying.

 

Still a lot I need to see, but things I saw and liked did really well. Would be very very happy to see Get Out or Phantom Thread take the big one.

 

Everyone talking about how there’s been no progress and now look what’s happened. Again, though, we need to praise them for this but still continue holding them accountable in the future. We still have two whole acting categories with all-white nominees, after all.

 

The only BP nominees I still have to see are Darkest Hour and Phantom Thread, both of which I can probably knock out this weekend.

 

especially when like, why are we rewarding Ridley Scott when his original mistake was casting Spacey in the first place!!!!

 

I think The Shape of Water got the most nominations, so combined with its PGA win I suppose that’s the frontrunner now.

 

Denzel with his 8th (!) nomination becomes the most nominated African-American actor in Academy history!!!!

 

The allegations hadn’t come out when he was cast, the movie was basically done.

 

they'd been an open secret in Hollywood for decades tho

regardless Plummer nomination is woooooooooof

 

Justice for Vicky Krieps!!!!!

 

Also poor Jessica Chastain and Michelle Williams
They along with Amy Adams and Michael Shannon will never get that damn statue

 

i'm still mad amy adams lost for the master

anyway this is a mostly surprisingly decent list of nominations - love the get out representation, way more for phantom thread than i thought there'd be, some progress on the diversity front, armie snub sucks but hey, the academy usually fucks up way more than this so it's still a minor victory overall.

 

And Phoenix and PSH!

 

pretty pleased with everything. best director is stacked. phantom thread got way more recognition than i expected. would have liked more blade runner acknowledgment but five technical nods isn’t bad
