Scarlett in Jojo would’ve been my pick. Laura Dern has an Oscar so maybe now they feel they’ve rewarded her parents. Laura Dern also is on the board of governors for the awards do it’s not wonder she won.

Couple thoughts 1) When did woke become a pejorative? wtf 2) Have they ever seen the film? 3) What’s your bet that these are the same people / bots that are giving Joker all the praise for it’s bold exploration of classism & the human psychology.

Uh Joker was my second favorite film after Parasite. The two are not mutually exclusive audience wise.

The same place where it was with moonlight. 1917 was a big spectacle so of course it won DGA. And PGA is probably more straight white male than Academy is right now. That SAG win foretold all. They literally got a standing O for introducing their clips. That NEVER happens.

 

The moment I saw that intro at the SAGs I knew Parasite was winning. That was sort of when the momentum changed.

So let them bitch and whine. Bong joon-ho has the Oscar. He doesn’t have to give it back.

The critics don’t realize best international film goes to the country not the creatives.

I think I’m the only one predicting In the Absence but it’s so good. And the other docs were kind of disappointing.

I loved How to Skateboard…that’s a really terrific story.

Laura Dern is not losing..

Scarlett really deserves it but I’m realistic enough to know she won’t win. Laura Dern sits on the board. Of course she’s winning. Scarlett gave a career best performance in Jojo Rabbit.

She mentioned in an interview around her 100th birthday that she had pretty much lost her eyesight. So that pretty much counts her out.

Couldn’t someone tell her (whisper in her ear)?

Things I will be looking for in the technical categories: if Parasite loses both Original Screenplay and Film Editing I will not expect it to win Best Picture (if it wins one and not the other it will still have a chance). If 1917 loses 2 out of 3 of Sound Editing/Mixing/Visual Effects I will not expect it to win Best Picture (if both happens it’s anyone’s guess what will happen). Also: if 1917 wins Production Design and/or Original Score I will expect it to win BP.

 

1917 isn’t winning score. Joker has it. Even the BAFTAs gave it to Joker. VFX is either 1917 or Avengers. I think one sound award will go to Ford v. Ferrari. (Thinking sound editing.)

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.

In your opinion. I don’t remember much about 1917 besides the single take directing and the endless running scenes. There’s a paper thin plot and the story plods along. Parasite is about the state of the world in this moment and overcomes language barriers to tell a universal story. If I’m a voter 1917 gets cinematography, direction and sound mixing. Parasite gets picture, screenplay, editing, and international film. It’s way better than Roma was and has an actual message.

Wouldn’t it be crazy if we are all wrong and they go mad for Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood and give it Picture, Director and Original Screenplay?

I have Parasite in first but am tempted to move Hollywood to second.

I chose Green Book last year and now I staying with 1917 as my pick even though I’m not so confident in it winning over Parasite. I saw “The Oscar Expert” on Youtube changed his Best Picture prediction and with good agruments which made me feel the need to switch to Parasite.

I’ve said Parasite  and with actors in competing films rooting for it (and voting) I think it’s got a great shot. I think Mendes gets Director while Parasite gets picture. 1917 gets a bunch of tech awards (I do think Ford v. Ferrari gets sound editing), including sound mixing and cinematography. Parasite will get editing and screenplay with its picture win and international picture.

Praying for Parasite! I hope Bong Joon-ho wins too, but I’m predicting Mendes.

I’ll trade Director for picture and think Bong Joon-Ho would too.

Going with Parasite for BP, Original Screenplay, International Film, Film Editing. Went with OUATIH for Production Design, and Mendes for Director. Most torn about: Animated Film, Visual Effects, Film Editing. Who votes on these 3 categories?

Animated is between Klaus and Toy Story 4, VFX is either 1917 or Avengers Endgame.
