Best sleeping aid for sure.

 

Parasite will win best foreign film

 

Yep, probably. Haven't seen it myself yet, though.

 

^watch it. It's like no other movie.

This year I haven't watched enough movies to speculate on the more technical aspects (editing, cinematography etc)

Also, I haven't watched 1917, but it will probably win a lot of stuff here and there, if it is as good as people say.

 

Unfortunately, Parasite isn't out in Ireland until February so I have to wait until then to see it.

All of your best movie picks have been nominated for Golden Globes and/or BAFTAs so it's safe to assume they can be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.

I don't think it's likely that De Niro will get nominated for Best Actor. The BAFTAs, Golden Globes, and Screen Actors Guild all passed on nominating him.

I really hope Joker will get a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

I haven't seen I Lost My Body but I don't know how likely it is to win Best Animated Feature Film. That award usually goes to a mainstream Hollywood flick.

 

I am seeing 1917 today. I think it has a good chance at Best Picture.

 

Yes, the people of the Academy Awards have a strong bias in favor of historical drama, so it's absolutely possible.

I don't really know what else was released this year, but I lost my body is quite brilliant and it's the classical thing that usually gets prizes.

Cinematograhy

Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC
1917
Universal

Phedon Papamichael, ASC, GSC
Ford v Ferrari
20th Century Fox

Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC
The Irishman
Netflix

Robert Richardson, ASC
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Sony Pictures

Lawrence Sher, ASC
Joker
Warner Bros

(basically the ASC list)

Best Picture

I think they'll narrow down the PGA awards some. Best guess of a list is...

1917
The Irishman
Knives Out
Little Women
Marriage Story
Once Upon A Time In... Hollywood
Parasite

I think it's possible Joker will make it into Knives Out or Little Women's spot (or simply be an addition).

 

The fact that De Niro's performance in The Irishman will likely get passed over is utterly absurd. It's easily his best work in decades.

 

Hey, if films like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close could get nominated for Best Picture, anything is possible

 

I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Toy Story 4, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, and Frozen II.

I never even bothered to watch that movie.

 

Animated:

Abominable
Producer: Suzanne Buirgy

Frozen II
Producer: Peter Del Vecho

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
Producers: Bradford Lewis, Bonnie Arnold

Missing Link
Producers: Arianne Sutner, Travis Knight

Toy Story 4
Producers: Mark Nielsen, Jonas Rivera

 

I forgot about Abominable and Missing Link.

 

Damn bad weather so we changed our plans, gonna see 1917 on Tuesday.

 

I'm curious about this one-shot stylistic choice, for a war movie. In Birdman it worked wonderfully, but it was another genre. I definitely need to see it.

 

Here's hoping for good weather on Tuesday.

 

Supposed to be almost 50 degrees by then.

 

Sounds OK, I guess.

 

I'm in theater now for it. Will give my review in other thread later

 

Almost show time.

 

Willem Dafoe's maritime curse in The Lighthouse wins its own lifetime achievement award.

 

Happy that Parasite got that production design nom.
