The 90th Academy Awards (March 4, 2018) TV Show • Page 13

This is easily the most overall good list od nominees in a while. Even The ones I didn’t love (darkest hour, 3 billboards) have good things to say about them.

 

Yeah this is definitely a great batch of nominees

 

Just curious (and I’ll answer my own question Monday once I’ve seen all nine; currently at 7), if you had to reduce the BP field to 5 like all other fields, which would get cut for you?

 

for me it'd be easy. Dunkirk, Phantom, Get Out, Lady Bird, shape of water (i havent seen call me; if that proved to be great then i'd have a tough time getting rid of one...id probably get rid of shape of water personally)

 

It would be:

Get out
Lady bird
Phantom thread
Dunkirk
Call me by your name

 

Although if we had just five BP nominees I’m pretty sure CMBYN would’ve been left in the dark for shape of Water...and honestly I don’t think 3 billboards gets in

 

well i dont think thats particuarly true. While forum.chorus.fm seems to hate 3 billboards, they are probably the overwhelming front runner to win it all

 

Phantom Thread
Call Me By Your Name
Lady Bird
Get Out
Dunkirk

 

Lady Bird
Get Out
Dunkirk
The Shape of Water
Call Me By Your Name

 

Call Me By Your Name
Get Out
A Ghost Story
Personal Shopper
Phantom Thread

fuck tha rules

 

Of the three I've seen: The Shape of Water > Phantom Thread > Lady Bird. I'm hoping to see Get Out and Call Me by Your Name within the next few weeks. I'm kind of meh towards Dunkirk and The Post because they look like typical Oscar bait, but I have a MoviePass, so I might end up seeing them eventually. I have absolutely no interest in seeing Darkest Hour or Three Billboards.

 

dunkirk must be seen on a big screen. i think the experience is worth it

 

First movie I saw in IMAX, totally worth it

 

Dunkirk is several steps above typical Oscar bait war films. Truly stunning theater experience!

 

Lady Bird
Call Me By Your Name
Get Out
Dunkirk
The Shape Of Water

Last slot was very close between Shape and Phantom, but having these weird genre films nominated is something I'm a big fan of!

 

Replace A Ghost Story with Lady Bird and baby, you got a stew goin'

 

Love both, wouldn’t quibble it except A Ghost Story might be my number 1.

 

I just have been struggling with where to rank it, or whether to rank it at all, because of Affleck's involvement. I did think it was great, though.

 

seeing the two i ha ent seen tomorrow in a double feature so i’ll oost my list after

 

To be fair I still haven’t seen Wonderstruck so any end of the year list is potentially incomplete.

 

Good Time, tho

 

Ugh I need to watch this

 

I remember defending Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in 2008-2010, saying how unfair everyone was to them. No one listened to me. I’m just glad they’re out there being brilliant and doing what they do in independent cinema.

 

yeah it's unfair to judge someone's acting based on a movie like Twilight, I mean Dakota Johnson is great in A Bigger Splash but I don't think anyone can act well in 50 Shades

 

I really hope more people are checking out A Bigger Splash after CMBYN’s success.
