1917 was amazing work. Should have won.

He also deserved to be nominated at least for Green Mile

To be honest, the cinematography was quite amazing. MUUUUUCH better than The Irishman that got nominated.

I personally don’t like the extension of Best Picture nominees from 5 to “at most 10”, eventhough I still think Dark Knight/Wall-E was wrongfully snubbed for the dreadful The Reader back in 2008.

So let’s pretend we didn’t have this non-sense, for the last three ceremony who do you think would have made the final 5 (with a ranking of the votes they received) ? Would they just correlate with the best director categories? What would you have liked to see as the final five out of the 9 – 10 nominees? Also, what about this year out of all the contenders?

IMO

2009:

The Hurt LockerAvatarInglourious BasterdsUp in the Air Precious

2010:

The King’s SpeechThe Social NetworkInceptionThe FighterBlack Swan

2011:

The ArtistHugoThe DescendentsMoney Ball Tree of Life

2012 (perhaps):

ArgoZero Dark 30 LincolnSilver Linings Play BookLes Miserables

(Pook is going to hate me, but I think Argo will pull off a win) I still haven’t seen Zero Dark 30 out of the list.

Share your thoughts

There is no way in a million years that Life of Pi was missing even with 5. It was a beloved film that won Director.

Personally, I felt 1917 was a hollow spectacle that is over-reliant on the one-shot technique, which it draws too much attention, which while it can be immersive, it can also be distracting, at certain times. I found myself consciously aware that the actors are being tracked by a camera most of the time, adding to the feeling how artificial, pre-planned and staged everything is. I do applaud Deakin’s camera choreography here but in terms of the direction, no matter how impressive and complex the technical achievement is, it cannot rescue itself from how shallow and inauthentic it inadvertently presents itself.

I’m happy that Bong won an Academy Award for Best Director, he truly deserves it for directing a unique tonally marvelous picture, and there’s nothing you could say in your PROFESSIONAL opinion, that can convince me otherwise.

This is the beauty of movies! They convey different opinions in people, and I respect yours 100%. My love for 1917 is probably a bit biased as am a cinematographer by profession and this is a huge cinematographycal achievement.

Let’s not spam the thread no more. Oscar season is over…bring on the Emmy season 😀

Can you explain to me how unbelievable the direction in 1917 is? Cinematography was clearly the best feature in the movie. But I found the direction to be “one note”.

I have been a working as cinematographer and director for over 12 years. I belive in my PROFESSIONAL opinion.

For Sam Mendes to direct the film to a technical marvel and still have this high of an emotional impact is a marvel. I agree on all aspects for Bongs directing. It was also amazing the way he handled characters and genres, but for me the technical achievement is more impressive. Personal opinion.

Again, I believe Bong deserved the Screenplay and Picture Awards, but Mendes deserved to be rewarded for what he made of with 1917.

The DGA is voted by Directors only and they appriciate what an amazing feat and achievement is making 1917. And they awarded it.

The Oscars are voted by all members and those people vote for what they like best, not what was best.

Please note, that Parasite is my top 5 movie of the year and it is an amazing film, but Directing was UNBELIVABLE in 1917. It was pure directing. Parasite won on passion.

The right thing to do was to give Director to 1917 and Picture to Parasite. Not both.

I am one of those people ho think 1917 is a well deserving winner. It was fresh, it did something new with a familliar story. I love Parasite. It is in my top 5 of the year, but it is not that masterpeice all are raving about. Nor is 1917. But 1917 is a worthy winner. Much better than some we got these past few years.
