The voting system for best picture is interesting. It makes sure the winner is something most of the Academy really agree over, which is good. I think that mostly favours Green Book, maybe BlacKkKlansman and possibly Bohemian Rhapsody. I can't really see more than 50% voting for Roma as either first choice or second choice after an unpopular choice (because they could have already voted for that as best foreign film anyway and Netflix, and possibly Netflix's dirty campaign), but who knows.

Rami Malek and his homosexuality shame should lose. Why did we fight for equality so this closet case can thank his fake girlfriend after working with an accused pedophile.? Let us hope the Oscars puts a stop to this farce.

Rami was one of the prisoners on [italic]Alcatraz[/italic]. In case I'm not the only Datalounger who watched that, he played the young guy who suffered ringing in his ears, then took up the violin successfully.

It was an interesting concept show, but it had some fatal casting mistakes in the main cast. Lots of good guest stars, though. I've seen them pop up on other series.

by Anonymousreply 45February 18, 2019 12:33 AM

Neither Best Picture front runner triumphed at the WGA in Original Screenplay, and both Roma and Green Book got beat by a film that wasn’t even nominated (Eighth Grade). What does that mean for the Oscars? (The Favourite wasn’t eligible).

Adapted Screenplay hasn’t been given out yet, but with the way this year has gone, watch Bradley Cooper beat Spike Lee, because nothing about this season makes sense.

by Anonymousreply 46February 18, 2019 2:45 AM

It wasn’t Bradley Cooper, but the Adapted winner was also unexpected. Can You Ever Forgive Me? won.

It kind of makes sense, though, since three black moves competed against one another in the category (yes, it shouldn’t matter, but it probably does), and Nicole Holofcener is very well-respected as a writer.

I think there will be several surprises a week from tonight.

by Anonymousreply 48February 18, 2019 3:16 AM

I worry that the WGA snubbing Green Book was a reflection of the fact that writers tend to have better taste than actors, but the acting branch of the Academy will help the dick flasher and the MAGA tweeter win the Oscar.

It’s kind of crazy that, at the top guilds, only two films have won multiple awards: Green Book (PGA, SAG Supporting Actor), and the Oscar-snubbed Eighth Grade (WGA, DGA Debut). I don’t think I’ve ever seen a season this split, and the fact that the guilds keep going for choices the Oscars rejected, like Emily Blunt at SAG, is telling.

These are the current odds set by Vegas for this years Oscars for Best Picture

Roma - 532 // Green book + 439 // Black Panther +1418 // The Favorite +1993

ASIB +1616 // B R +2187 //B K +4120 // Vice +5000

So if you were to bet 10 bucks on Black Panther you would win $141.00

10 on Roma you would win $1.80

For the High Rollers 100 on Roma wins $18.80

100 on Greenbook wins you $438.00

It's tempting to bet those underdogs. But Vegas bookmakers know what they are doing. Roma is the heavy favorite for a reason.

The other category's the heavy Favorites are Close, Rami, Ali and R. King

Good Luck!

What has to be considered with BR is that it couldn't have been nominated for director. You can't reward someone who doesn't even manage to finish shooting a film as best director, no matter what. This is not evidence that the directors voting body does not like the film, I think many might. Editors apparently love it, actors are all all about Malek in it at least... This could work out.

Most of you guys are probably not aware of this, but in Mexico several famous people there have spoken out against the fact that Yalitza Aparicio was nominated for an Oscar. It’s mainly been famous females who have spoken out against her (envy?). They’ve called her “ugly” or said she didn’t deserve to be nominated, among other things. Recently a story broke out about a famous actor who was recorded on a phone camera saying “How could they nominate a fucking indian who says ‘yes ma’am, no ma’am‘?”. What a racist bastard!!! And he’s just one example. It’s really disgraceful because they should be proud for her and happy for her nomination.

Voters like being on the winning team. And this dark comedy set in the court of Queen Anne (circa 1710), while widely admired for its performances, script and costumes, has mostly been a loser at the big pre-Oscar ceremonies. “I love this nasty little movie, but I don’t want to throw my vote away,” one person told me, adding that she was waiting until the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards to make her decision. (“The Favourite” won seven Baftas on Sunday, but lost the big prize to “Roma.”)

Kelly Clarkson Covered “Shallow” and the Internet Lost It

Kelly Clarkson gave the infectious hit a go—and the Internet promptly lost it over her killer performance. “I know there’s always a lot of competition with other artists in the industry, but there’s a lot of us that just dig each other,” Clarkson says, introducing the cover. “This song, I love it . . . . We’re gonna do our version of it, because obviously I don’t have a Bradley Cooper here. So I’m just holdin’ it down.” Clarkson proceeds to sing it effortlessly, her signature power-rasp voice lending itself perfectly to the tune; who needs it to be a duet when your voice is strong enough to go at it solo?

Known contrarian Bret Easton Ellis actually salutes the Oscar gay pics.

Best actor and best supporting actor are likely going to be awarded to Rami Malek from Bohemian Rhapsody and Mahershala Ali from Green Book for playing two real-life characters who were gay and closeted (Freddie Mercury and Don Shirley, respectively). That's a remarkable first that no one seems to be commenting on. Just as no one seems to be heralding the fact that Bohemian Rhapsody, a movie with a gay man — the movie's hero — at the center of its nearly 135-minute running time is now the highest-grossing drama ever made. Despite its PG-13 rating and lack of sex and nudity, it actually navigates more deeply than I thought it would the complicated gay relationships Freddie had. And in often dark ways — if at times clumsily handled — it doesn't shy away from his gay pain.

I was a little disappointed. Maybe the trailer gives away most of the plot, and I had real a lot about the movie beforehand. But I feel like she plays a variation of the same character in Identity Thief and The Boss where she does Bad Things but in the end reveals she is a good person. Just without the laughs.

The politician, Vice President Dick Cheney as portrayed by a heavily made-up Christian Bale, won the Critics Choice Award and the Golden Globe for best actor in a comedy/musical. But one of those two musicians, Queen frontman Freddie Mercury as embodied by Rami Malek, cleaned up down the stretch of awards season.

Glenn Close leads all living actors for the title of most nominations (seven) without a win. I’ll admit I’m still scratching my head over how she didn’t win for Fatal Attraction (1987).

Close is the mathematical favorite to finally stand on that stage thanks to Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe wins. But she tied Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born) at the Critics Choice Awards and lost to Olivia Colman (The Favourite) at the BAFTAs, so neither of those competitors can safely be ruled out.

You're kind of a moron. May holds the reins to the music with an iron grip. He didn't "get involved," he was who anyone had to deal with if they wanted to make a movie. He's the reason SBC walked from the film. May didn't want the truth, he wanted a PG-13 bullshit fest designed to sell Queen's music. And he got it.

Yes, he did get involved in someone else's plan for a Freddie movie and DUH you don't say he is who anyone had to deal with if they wanted to make a movie. It's their fucking music/legacy. They also had to deal with Roger Taylor, that might be easier, but it's not like he didn't care at all.

She had about the same amount of screen time (if not more) as co-star and Best Actor winner Eddie Redmayne and also had her own plot line.

The Academy botched that so hardcore.

Not winning on his first nomination and not being nominated the next year will give him a reason to keep working hard, and the Academy won't feel like they've over-lauded him.

He'll probably have to deal with what Leonardo DiCaprio faced, which ultimately gains you tons of public sympathy and a respectable long term career.

I actually preferred Cooper's performance over Rami's - though I did like Rami's. The first third of BR was tough to watch. Zero character development, everything happened way too fast. I know that's not really Rami's fault, but it's why I like Cooper's performance. But Rami's a lock. (Didn't see Green Book and I would never waste money to watch Vice.

KELLY: So give me an example of a film or an actor who seemed like they made the cut but then ended up not being on the shortlist.

GARDNER: So the shark attack pick "The Meg" received enough votes to come in 11th place, but somehow it is included among the top five nominees this year.

I'm a little worried he won't win, because he's bee winning for so long, it might be getting a bit boring for some voters perhaps. I really want him to win today! That's the crown he deserves. However, Bale would be an OK choice, I think. I don't know because I haven't seen Vice yet. Dying to see it though. I'm very relieved Cooper has no chance in hell.

Hope the rumours about Spike Lee winning are correct. And I pray Roma doesn't get best picture, because fucking Netflix.

Do I sound a little over-excited? I might be.

Worst is the money that went into smear campaigning. Trying to ruin people's award chances, with no concern of possibly ruining their future along with it. And this isn't world politics, it really doesn't have to be that way in the show biz. Fuck Netflix, I want to boycott it. (but it's hopeless, I know).

Netflix I’m sure sees it as money well spent. It wants to be seen as a force that can win best pic Oscars now. Even if it doesn’t pull off a win tonight I think it’s only a matter of time for them before they do. In many ways they’ve conquered their last mountain and is redefining the future of the industry.

I agree, Green Book probably wins and that's fine. BlackKklansman and Bohemian Rhapsody might also have a chance and I'd prefer those. Some will lose their fucking minds if BR wins! It would be glorious. Oh, and it deserves it.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a worthy nominee and winner! A great film, hope it wins all those editing and sound awards as well. It possibly saved the future of cinema, in which there can be success without explosions, and created a whole new future for gay cinema, in which you can make money despite the gay.

Perhaps the most worthy winner ever.

[quote]Ali is black , that his advantage

Sorry to break it to you but in 90 years of Oscar, for the first 50-plus years, being white was the advantage, not the other way around, which is why the list of undeserving white winners far outpaces the list of undeserving black winners (a fact the racists always choose to ignore). This is why the Academy sought to diversify its membership -- not to take awards away from white people but to give ALL nominees, regardless of race, a fair shot at winning and end the cycle of non-whites only being nominated occasionally and losing almost every time (what the bigots would no doubt refer to as "the good ol' days"). And while we're at it, perhaps a more diverse voting bloc can also help with this issue, too:

[quote]Eddie Murphy is an asshole so it was decided to give it to the just as good Alan Adkin.

And yet being an asshole didn't stop them from giving Oscars to Dustin Hoffman, Sean Penn, Christian Bale and Casey Affleck, so apparently only black actors are not allowed to be jerks and win.

by Anonymousreply 570February 24, 2019 4:29 PM

R570 Yes, you are right, why you are so taking it as something offensive? back then oscars were more white, but that activity like #oscarstoowhite or something like that changed everything..Every year we have at least one black actor.actress and since then many more are nominated...So thats why i think Ali is locked , and Regina also . No black actors have chance to win in lead category so they will give them in supporting.

by Anonymousreply 571February 24, 2019 4:37 PM

Ali is a fantastic actor discovered later in his career, so he’s getting better roles now than he ever had and turning in incredible performances. He deserves the accolades. The sad thing is, Richard E Grant is not at the same level and CYEFM was a godsend for his career. He also deserves the accolades for this performance. It’s a tough year. In a perfect world, they would tie.

R529 I would love to see Bohemian Rhapsody win Best Picture! But I don't think it will, for a variety of reasons, the first being that it was directed by Bryan Singer. It will probably be Roma, which will make Academy history if it wins both Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film in the same year. A Star is Born? I doubt it. Black Panther? It's not worthy of a best pic nomination IMO, let alone a win. I really enjoyed Green Book, but not sure about that one. I can usually predict which film will win, but this year it's pretty tough.

Stallone lost for the same reason Stallone is not respected or liked in Hollywood.
