Although I understand the reasoning behind it, personally I’m disappointed by the merger of the sound categories. The Oscars is about awarding the craft of movie making. The general public doesn’t understand the difference between the two categories (and frankly, some Academy members), but it is quite a big one – and both require different skillsets. It’s going to be a much tougher fight with a lone sound category now….

Thoughts on Green Book: Personally, I loved it. It’s a fun film, and I had an absolute blast seeing it in the cinema in 2018. I personally don’t think it deserves the hate it garners at all. In regards to Roma, even though it was a visually stunning film, I thought the plot was paper thin. It took me a few tries to get through it.

I know I’m in the minority, but in the weak year that was 2018 cinema, Green Book more than deserved the win.

Just saw the Parasite Awards GD Awards winners now and I only have two words:

RECENCY BIAS.

A Parasite sweep? Come on. We’re taking about the best films in the last decade, and the love should be spread. Well, I guess I should have known this would happen by the nominations….

It’s embarrassing.  I literally feel second-hand embarrassment for the great films that missed out….

Wow, overall very disappointing nominations, in my opinion. The recency bias is strong. Did everyone forget the amazing movies such as The King’s Speech, The Artist, The Big Short, Brooklyn, Captain Phillips, Lion, Les Misérables, and The Help, just to name a few?

I’m happy La La Land made a strong showing. That’ll be my pick for Best Picture of the decade….

I fear this as well. Most of the films I’ve nominated are from the early 2010s. I hope they don’t get drowned out by later releases….

If theres a film that gets into Original Screenplay based on (besides a good screenplay) B.O success, I think its gonna be Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar.

Yes, I have a feeling it could be Bridesmaids 2.0.

I thought Amsterdam was coming out in 2021? Could be mistaken… I’m looking forward to it as well – whatever it is!

Gary Oldman is NOT winning a second Oscar lol! The gurl playing Marilyn Monroe isn’t getting near an Oscar nom. In fact Netflix is NOT sweeping the Oscars.

I have a feeling that Netflix will be a huge presence this year. Mank sounds like an extremely Academy friendly film, with a history – and very overdue director – behind it. I have a feeling it’s going to be one of the strongest players in 2021. Plus, Gary Oldman can very well win a second Oscar so soon (i.e. Mahershala Ali).

Also, with Ron Howard’s Hillbilly Elegy (which I have a feeling we’re underrating), Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, and Rebecca (a remake of a Hitchcock classic), Netflix has a huge chance of cleaning house. Hollywood is warming to Netflix, and it seems like their Best Picture Oscar is just around the corner….
