The 90th Academy Awards (March 4, 2018) TV Show • Page 17

Finally saw Shape of Water last night. Eight down, one to go! Really think this is the strongest slate of BP nominees in quite a long time:

Phantom Thread: A+
Get Out: A
Lady Bird: A
Dunkirk: A-
The Shape of Water: A-
Call Me by Your Name: B+
The Post: B+
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: C-

 

4 left of the BP nominees that I need to see. I am ranking them in the following order in terms of prioritization:

1. shape of water
2. three billboards
3. the post
4. darkest hour

Doubt I’ll sneak the last 2 in before the awards

 

The Post is way better than Three Billboards.

1. Phantom Thread
2a. Lady Bird
2b. Call Me By Your Name

3. Get Out
4. The Shape of Water

Probably won't watch the other two.

 

I just saw Shape of Water and it was fine, but I'm like this has the most nominations? It got real silly for a bit in there.

Lady Bird still my best picture pick, I'll keep seeing more

 

It benefited from some of technical categories in terms of garnering the most noms. I’ve said it before Lady Bird is my fav but cheering for Shape since it has the best chance of winning

 

I haven’t been able to see many films this year, only Get Out so far for the BP nominees. But I did just see Hostiles and it having 0 nominations is possibly the biggest snub I’ve ever seen.

 

Hahahahahaha Hostiles was a disjointed, overacted mess.

 

I disagree. Who overacted? I saw that elsewhere and I just don’t see how that could be said. A mess? I don’t think so.

I would love to see a few more of the films from this years nominees to compare.

 

Through the whole first act Rosamund Pike was overacting the hell out of her grief.

This was three films shoved together. The problematic murderous native gang being set up as the main threat, then being dispatched almost immediately was the first. Then you had the weird section with them escorting the outlaw, who ended up escaping and dying offscreen, then them scrambling at the end and literally having a convenient ending walk up out of nowhere.
Easily the least enjoyable movie I've seen in theaters in a long long time

Edit: Dunkirk is one I would highly recommend checking out when it comes back to theaters shortly. That's a film that really needs a good sound system to be appreciated fully

 

How in the world could you overact that kind of grief... I mean... I’m kind of stunned right now. That may be the craziest thing I’ve heard about a film in quite some time.

And I also disagree with your rundown of the film. It all worked very well together. I don’t think it was disjointed like that at all.

But hey opinions and all that. No worries.

 

People actually saw Hostiles?

 

i saw den of thieves yesterday instead of bostiles and i am pleased with my decision

 

Hostiles was great
