The 90th Academy Awards (March 4, 2018) TV Show • Page 2

Haven’t seen Darkest Hour yet, but all of those are better than Three Billboards. Significantly better, actually.

 

Is the backlash over Three Billboards simply due to trying to redeem Sam Rockwell's character?

 

uh, no.

 

I've seen reactions to darkest hour that are allover the board, most people I know wanted to fall asleep. I'll see it eventually but I ain't paying for it.

 

Also re: Darkest Hour, it's real disappointing that they're going to award another man with a history of abusive behavior two years in a row at Best Actor. Also all the acting frontrunners this year are white (Rockwell, Janney, Oldman, McDormand), even if all the nominees won't be, which is disappointing.

Those campaigns started because the nominees were all white, not necessarily the winners, right? But yeah it's still not going to be a good look when the four of them take all their pictures together.

 

They keep talking about how they're diversifying these boards yet theres not a major difference yet, I'd say 10 more years if any

 

I'd say Moonlight winning over La La Land last year was in part because of a more diverse voting bloc

 

You're right, that did happen. I almost forgot. I guess I'm just greedy

 

Yeah I mean a movie like Moonlight doesn't win without both the diversification effort and also the massive amounts of strong activism online calling out the Academy for its issues that led to the diversification effort. And to beat La La Land, basically Oscars So White: The Movie, made it even more significant.

 

Meh, I just want more. I mean I'm not gonna give them a golf clap for the one effort, nothing gets done if you don't keep pushing them for more. I doubt get out wins anything because it "rubs them the wrong way" like critics have been saying.

 

Nobody is saying they shouldn't still be pushed to be better (Three Billboards has a chance to win this year, after all), the work to reform the Academy is nowhere near finished, but acknowledging when they get something right is as much part of the process as calling them out when they get something wrong. I'm still in utter shock that Moonlight won Best Picture last year, it was an amazing moment and an important bit of progress for an organization that has historically resisted progress at every turn.

 

Yea, I agree. All I'm saying is I don't want to be content with that because you never know where the can will be kicked down the road.

Happy to see Baby Driver get some technical recognition

 

I was hoping against hope that Three Billboards wouldn’t get a film editing nod just weaken its chances, but, nope it did.

Desplat not getting in for Original Score is shocking.

Deakins!

Loved how Sound Editing and Sound Mixing have the exact same nominees.
