    Well that's good. I've seen a few that were predicted to get a nomination that were pretty much a waste of time but I've seen all these best pictures. I really don't see one that's worthy of an Oscar but there are some I didn't hate as badly as others. Damned with faint praise?

    By the way Roma is not even an English so it can blow me.

  • So if you have Black in the movie title, it qualifies for an Oscar this year?

    True enough. The affirmative action Oscars thanks and part 2 1 of the least talented members of their race,Wiill Smith.

    Race relations are the number one qualifier followed closely by homosexuality or Mexicans.

  • Christ, I don't think I've watched any of these movies, and I work on movies, this is ridiculous.

    Roma will probably win a lot of things, since the academy has a hardon for Cuaron.

    Christian Bale is an incredible actor. Havent seen the Cheney movie, and I dislike Cheney, but I heard the man pulled a Raging Bull again. Only Daniel Day Lewis is a better actor I think.

    First Reformed, Paul Schrader - hmmm, Paul wrote taxi driver in two days with a loaded gun in his desk so i might have to check this out. Great screenwriter, and a great guy. This and Roma are the only movies that interest me. How many of these so called "movies" are original?

    Maybe i'll have to make one of my own one of these days.

     well they are both Elite. So is Gary Oldman for that matter. So is Kenneth Branagh.

     like I said Romo isn't in English so it can blow me. But I would like to see first reformed. It's probably on some streaming service by now.

  • I will have to see A Star is Born just because  Sam Elliot has received an Oscar nod.  Ain't hardly nobody cooler than Sam Elliot.

  • Yeah as Christian Bale may win again. And really go see Star is Born. As need to see the other remakes again.

    From a guy who's seen most of the oscar movies, and most of them being underwhelming, i'd say 100% CB deserves the award for his masterful transformation into Cheney. I didn't like "Vice" that much, but CB did an excellent job.
