Part of me is really hoping that Leo doesn't win the Oscar again this year, if only because I'd totally miss the memes...

Are there any upcoming major slave or servant films on the horizon? I'm just curious as to when I can expect another black actor/actress to be nominated.

It's not a slave movie, but I'm going to say Ruth Negga for Loving (dir. Jeff Nichols)

It's about the civil rights case Loving v. Virginia.

If they somehow manage to give it to someone else this year, there's plenty of material in The Revenant for an entire new set of Oscar edits. A veritable goldmine, if you ask me.

I think Emmanuel Lubezki is a lock to win Cinematography three years in a row (Gravity, Birdman the last two years). The Revenant looked amazing.

Bale was really good though, and clinical mental disability is a bit disingenuous, that wasn't even the main point of his character. He's just a normal guy that likes to immerse himself in math and numbers, and quite frankly it was his career of choice. It was one of the better depictions of someone identified as very high functioning aspergers. It's not even clear how accurate that diagnosis of him is. The real Michael Burry comes across even more normal and friendly than Bale does in the movie.

Elba... in my opinion that was a pretty ghastly performance by him. I was really disappointed in that movie.

He was really good. I just don't think he is better then Del Torro or even Carrell from the same movie. And I think he is really only getting it because it was the "sexy" part that speaks to the preferences the Oscars have fawned over in the past.

I guess I am more alone on Elba in Beasts. I personally thought it was a very good performance but I guess the consensus seems to be different.

What's the point of best animated feature when inside out is the only animation nominated for best picture.
Like saying inside out won, but these are other great animation this year.

What's the point of the best picture award if the best picture doesn't win.

If nothing else it deserves some acting nods and probably cinematography.

I would bet the whole controversy around it is going to get it snubbed at the Oscars and Emmys.
Click to expand...
I could imagine Beasts not getting a nomination because the film industry and cinema industry have their hands in each other's pants. The Emmys really can't ignore subscription services, not after HBO being the premium series creator for so long. And subsequently I don't reckon there's a 'needed to at least have been on x number of televisions' kind of requirement for the Emmys, like the Academy Awards does have.

Most of the time, yeah. There are occasions where everything aligns and they actually pick credible winners. Typically only a couple times a decade though.

Most often they end up leaving a film or films high and dry that come out looking much better in historical retrospect then what they chose.

Hoping Mad Max can be that trend breaker.

Its not, just a few insane opinions on Gaf. Beasts of No Nation has been trending on Twitter for hours now with people pointing out the snubs for Idris, Abraham Attah (who deserves an Oscar as much if not more than any of the lead actors nominated) and Fukunaga. That 3 minute one shot sequence in the house during the sacking of that village should have propelled Fukunaga to a cinematography nomination spot, its the exact same style of photography everyone is praising the Revenant for. Fucking farce.

It didn&#8217;t matter that Howard&#8217;s version of The Magic Retard was a badly bowdlerized adaptation of a profoundly complicated man&#8217;s life, nor that said adaptation was written by the unrepentant hack who shit out Batman and Robin. Opie got his statues, leading to the 3rd Hobbit movie &#8211; the one with the 30 minute pillowfight &#8211; sweeping everything it was nominated for in 2003 as a make-up move. And that&#8217;s a perfect microcosm of why you shouldn&#8217;t give a shit about what movie wins an Oscar. The passage of time reveals a movie&#8217;s true quality, not the number of gold statues it won. Citizen Kane didn&#8217;t need the Best Picture, neither did Raging Bull, or Dr. Strangelove, or Rear Window, or Star Wars. Keep that in mind while you&#8217;re watching the circus, and you&#8217;ll have a better time all around.

Applause. Great article bobby and yes still very relevant. I'm more happy for the 'backroom' people getting awards. The makeup and effects people, the editors who at these events still get short shrift as all TV and the internet cares about is the stars.

I watch and enjoy the oscars every year, but to take them overly seriously is to invite madness. Time does always reveal a films true worth, longevity and art. How many previous oscar winners are still talked about that had any real lasting relevance?

Add onto that most of the voting bloc is mostly older white men who probably have very locked in tastes and attitudes and the results we often see should come as no surprise to anyone. They watch the screeners that interest them and probably bin or give away the rest.

Really annoying that they changed it so there can be up to ten Best Picture nominees and yet they constantly go with fewer than that. It seems to suggest that it's not that there were so many good films in a year that it was hard to choose, but rather that there weren't even enough movies that were good enough to fill the list.

I appreciate how editing can set the tone, but when characters mysteriously drop out of the movie, that's a fundamental flaw I'm not sure I can look past.

What you're talking about happens sometimes during the editing process, but it's not the editor's call. If you find fault with structural changes, blame the director. That's on them.

I dunno, but I know reviews weren't super amazing for it, and Tom Hooper has attracted his fair share of detractors since The King's Speech, thanks in no small part to a rather brutal Film Critic Hulk article about him. I don't have any opinion to share about the film itself, other than it not looking like the sort of thing that would grab me.

Carol not getting bp is horseshit.

Spotlight, The Martian, The Big Short, Mad Max, Brooklyn and The Revenant getting bp nominations is even more horseshit.

Also this year's best actor category couldn't be any less interesting.

They do exist though. Yeah there are obvious examples to shame the Oscars: English Patient, Crash, Shakespeare in Love. But they also do(occasionally) choose films that can be argued have grown in adulation over time. Or at least remained steady and relevant. That can be considered, reasonably, to be the best film that year.

I think the ultimate takeaway about the Oscars history is that the Oscars are wildly inconsistent in the quality of their nominees/winners and rarely without some highly questionable nominees/winners.

I think The Martian is dead. No Director or Editing nomination.

The BP winner will be The Revenant, Spotlight, or The Big Short.

Best domestic film of the year but people want garbage like a boring walk in the woods or a film celebrating that the boston press were bad at their jobs but 15 years too late managed to finally do what they were spoonfed.

It's a function of how they tabulate votes for the Best Pic nom. Voters only fill in 5 films for Best Pic, and they rank them by preference.

Every movie that gets at least 5% of the vote in the #1 position is automatically a nominee. Then the second and third place films on those ballots are redistributed and count as partial votes. Movies with less than 1% of the #1 vote are also redistributed to the other piles, with second and third places counting as partial votes. After all that redistribution is done, any movie with an aggregate of their actual #1 votes and the partial #2/#3 votes that amounts to 5% also become nominees. Any movies below 5% don't make the cut. It's confusing and weird.
