1917 getting shut out except for a few tech awards is GLORIOUS.

February 10, 2020 at 6:11 am #1203341336So, the war movie and the overextended lower quality Tarantino piece lost and the timely entertaining film won?
I mean…

Midnight Cowboy exactly 50 years ago. Of course this is discounting the International Feature award, and just four years ago Spotlight won with Screenplay as its only other win.

Technically this isn’t true as the International Feature Oscar is awarded to the country as a whole rather than the director.

Doesn’t the director still get an Oscar though?

As I’ve said before, there’s something wrong and horribly mean spirited about celebrating one contenders loss rather than the winner’s gain.
ReplyCopy URLFebruary 10, 2020 at 6:41 am #1203341383Let’s be clear here: 1917 still did really well tonight. 3 awards is more than any other film this year besides Parasite, and also just as many as Dunkirk. Plus, it won Best Visual Effects, which a lot of people didn’t expect, especially early in the season. My friend was rooting against 1917 just because it beat Endgame LOL!
At the end of the day, 1917 was simply a victim of high expectations. Everyone was expecting it to win 6-7 awards and it only got 3. I thought I was underestimating it with 5, and that still ended up being too high.
