Oscar Season: 2018 Movies, Part 13

I’ve played M so often here that it will be hard for me to feel pleased for Glenn.

Sally Kirkland is already on the red carpet.

Gotta love that ol’ cunt

Of the 600 possible posts in this thread, how many will the scarily-obsessed Rami Malek troll be responsible for? I'll say 200.

I love Glenn and, if she wins, it's well deserved and not one of those 'she's been around forever and never won so let's just give it to her' awards. BUT, I would not be surprised if there was an upset and Olivia Colman wins. No, really.

OC was absolutely terrific in The Favourite! Would be a well deserved Oscar definitely! But my heart would break for Glenn (whose film I haven't seen).

Close will win a "career Oscar"- which should be outlawed. Gaga will steal the night, though.

If I chose the winner I'd pick Melissa McCarthy. Her performance awed me. The others bored me.

I don't see it as a career Oscar for Glenn. She's riveting in The Wife and it's an Oscar worthy performance.

No. No it really isn't.

The amount of times someone has won for being owed an Oscar for a previous loss is annoying. Just award the original performance.

I hope BP is a surprise.

The only true surprise for BP would be Vice or A Star is Born, since they are the only films nominated that haven't won anything of note.

Vanity Fair has an online ballot and Bohemian Rhapsody has the lead, Rami Mallek has a huge lead and Glen Close has a slim lead over Lady Gaga.

When Glenn loses will she cry? It would be refreshing to see genuine emotion in one of her performances for the first time. Always a silver lining in these things.

R13 rami has some crazy fans so that’s not surprising. Let’s hope the actual voters aren’t insane and vote for someone else.

No, R8, it really isn’t. It’s a decent performance with a few good moments but it’s nowhere near an Oscar-worthy performance.

Glenn gave a wonderful performance in a meh film. Has happened many times.

She was riveting, and like my boyfriend said, she used her eyes to emote more than anything, and that is special in itself.

Meryl rarely does that these days.

Rami isn’t in the lead cause of his “fans”, it’s cause majority loved that movie and him In it.

Numbers dont lie.

[quote]Will Gaga top Glenn

I thought Glenn was the top.

R18 please, make up somethong new

Bullshit, R17. What Meryl did with her eyes in that phone scene in The Post alone blows everything Glenn did in The Wife out of the fucking water.

E! Is covering the Oscars and they are raving about Glenn in “The Wife” and how strong she was in this.

They don’t think Gaga will win but they think she will win an acting Oscar one day.

Must read. This really is the worst year for movies in a good while. Probably since Eddie redmayne won for the theory of everything.

I liked a few of the nominees. I’m not reading another bullshit article of someone crying that they’re negative reviews didn’t work on taking down a film.

Willam was just on E! And said that they were gonna cut the Drag Queens scenes so he was gonna be let go but Gaga fought for them and got their scenes back so they added Shangela and the rest is History.

The scenes with them and Cooper are not scripted.

R27 I think you mean herstory. Halleloo, yes gawd.

In honor of Oscar Sunday, here’s a link to a DL classic: Glenn Close visiting Lauren Bacall at the Dakota. Featuring Bacall’s dog Sophie and the infamous Humperdink.

Lauren and Glenn certainly have more in common than their love of dogs... even after tonight, no doubt.

I noticed on the Spirit awards last night that Glenn has developed a hump.

She looks like a little old lady now.

I won an Oscar ! I won an Oscar !

They’re praising Lucy Boynton on E! For her looks, her mysterious aura and her natural beauty. As well as her “captivating” performance in BR.

Some of you would be triggered.

Oscar winners.

👌Best of luck this evening Regina

r33 This will trigger the BR haters AND the Rami fans who think she's a bitch of a beard. A+ trolling.

R25 Probably since Eddie redmayne won for the theory of everything.

Redmayne haters are just the worst.

now I see we have lot of rami ubers , jesus, they re coming, they re coming

r25 Redmayne haters and Malek haters are the same, I reckon. Old tasteless cunts.

When I saw her on Sing Street I wondered if she would be a star. BR is the first movie I noticed of her since. She has toned down her cartoon voice.

No idea why I wrote 25?

That was excellent r25. Thanks for sharing.

When I win tonight M I will have more major award hardware than you. You’ve gotten lazy. You need to do Broadway for awhile and cut down on the hammy over the top film performances. An Oscar, 3 Emmys and 3 Tonys to your 3 Oscars and 3 Emmys.

Meryl didn’t get any praise at all for Mary Poppins. The sequel to Momma Mia was surprisingly entertaining.

I also liked the Mamma Mia sequel. A lot more than the original actually.

This has me laughing so hard

I will be laughing so hard when BoRhap wins Best Editing and the bitter bitches on here are wailing about it!

All I see is an amazing movie R46

The accuracy

Also MM had some very good looking young men.

R47 Those bitches only think that BR shouldnt get ward for something that it i snot deserving like BP or leading men, doesnt mean that it shoudlnt get nothing at all, you stupid, brainless faggot

Those weird times when the thread updates but you can't see the new posts because you've FFed and blocked the troll...

I do hope my dear friend Glenn wears a dress tonight that hides her hump. Perhaps a large bow, or a long, flowing wig. Even a feather boa would do the trick.

R52 I agree , i blocked some rami uber troll and 60 %posts are gone

I didn't really like either Mama Mia, but at least the first one had better actors and the better songs.

This

I have defended Rami and the BR from the nutty haters but I think it has zero chance for BP

Omg. Mercury went off the rails due to the influence of one person that happened to be gay. Not cause he was gay.

And then he meets a gay man that is good for him.

R39 like you have taste? Keaton is best at comedy roles.

R56 thats what I was saying before! Gays=bad, hetero = good

If Roma and/or The Favourite (only two good movies nominated) don’t win everything then this broadcast will be a travesty.

Roma is a bore. No one really cares about that shit. Stuff like that winning the big awards is why viewership sinks lower and lower every year.

Yeah even on E! They all think it will win but none seem to want it to.

Though I liked it, Roma is the broccoli of movies. If it wins, the Academy and the show will be in even worse shape than they are now.

Will the continuation of this thread of threads be the official thread(s) for tonight, or will a new thread be created?

r65 this thread is IT. A 14 will be created once this reaches 600.

“Malek is nominated for best actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury, the bisexual HIV-positive frontman of legendary rock band Queen, in the film Bohemian Rhapsody. So far, he’s won the Golden Globe, the BAFTA, and the SAG award, all major precursors to Oscar gold. There’s just one thing — his speeches have been a bit off.“ The understatement of the season.

Broccoli is very good with cheese and butter.

I don’t know why it gets posted over and over again what a bore Roma. Many exciting things happen

Will someone explain the voting system to me ? Someone else was talking this movie was getting a lot of 2s and might win. Roma was getting bad scores and was going to lose.

What ? I thought Rami gave good speeches.

Billy Porter dressed like an actual queen.

Shouldn’t there be an OFFICAL OSCARS THREAD

And Rami gave amazing speeches

Malek's speeches were fine.

[R68] The process of counting votes for best picture isn't as simple as one might think. According to Cullinan, each voter is asked to rank the nominated films, with one being their top choice. After determining which film garnered the least number of votes, PwC employees take that title out of contention and look to see which movie each of those voters selected as their second favorite. That redistribution process continues until there are only two films remaining. The one with the biggest pile wins. "It doesn’t necessarily mean that who has the most number one votes from the beginning is ensured they win," he added. "It’s not necessarily the case, because going through this process of preferential voting, it could be that the one who started in the lead, doesn’t finish in the lead."

People are already arriving? Seems kinda early, no?

r59 Yes I have flawless taste, test me.

r71 There really should be. When I want to read back, I don't want to go through 13 threads' worth of speculation, looking for the one that covered the actual event.

I'd prefer Black Panther to win Best Pic over Roma and I wasn't even crazy about BP.

Thank you, r66

How Oscar’s Preferential Ballot Works — And Could Produce a Best Picture Shocker:

I hope Bradley Cooper wins Best Actor. He was really good and his singing wasn't bad. Rami Malek was good but didn't sing. Christian Bale is a mimic not an actor.

No, no no r80. a) This is not for singing! b) Why not root for Viggo then? Oh, right, he didn't sing. c) Bale is an actor! d) No!

How old is Ryan Seacrest? He just claimed on the red carpet that 25 years ago he was a “very little kid”

I was surprised to learn Yalitza is only 25.

R82, he and I are fraternal twins, darling.

I googled it, Seacrest is 44. Lying ass. He was 19 25 years ago

Seacrest is so smarmy and condescending. He’s making a big deal out of Giuliana being on the red carpet for the first time.

Weren't people talking about avoiding Ryan on the red carpet just a year or so ago because of the #MeToo thing? (He was accused at that time I think.) So I guess all of that has blown over?

Giuliana has never been on the red carpet?!

R87 no proof arose with the accusations and it got buried.

Why is Billy Porter there tonight? Does he appear in one of the nominated films?

Constance Wu looks very pretty.

I pray for an evening of upsets.

Praying Rami wins. I can’t handle him losing right now.

r90 Why will Jack Nicholson be there tonight? That place would look deserted if only people who starred in the nominated movies showed up.

Will Jack be there tonight? When's the last time he's been seen in public?

It seems the system makes the winner slightly more predictable, no? It makes sure that "votes splitting" doesn't create a rather unpopular winner.

Jack Nicholson is a film actor, R94. Billy Porter is known primarily for the stage and now TV (because of "Pose"). The question isn't a knock on him, I'm just saying his presence there is a bit out of the ordinary.

The Bohemian Rhapsody cast celebrating Oscar weekend

Googoo? Oh hunny, Googoo hasn’t been part of the conversation for months.

r97 That difference doesn't matter tonight. All sorts of people from the showbiz get invited to this thing because there's so much room in there.

Marie Kondo, for example. QED.

Hey OP, will you create the official thread about 30 minutes before the telecast?

Remember when the Oscars used to attract the biggest stars in film or rising stars in film?

Things like Netflix have caused crossovers to the point TV actors Are invited to the Oscars

R29 Who’s the biggest bitch in the room? Lauren, Glenn, or Sophie?

Rami Malek - The life and career of the first time Oscar Nominee

What do we think of Billy Porter in a Christian Siriano velvet tuxedo gown?

Well, he's trending on Twitter so it sure has made an impression on people.

I think it looks great.

Fabulous, R106!

I binged watched a lot of these movies over the weekend. Bohemian Rhapsody is total crap. I’m kind of horrified that it made so much money, though I should prob expect that from a country that elected Trump. It’s Best Picture nom is up there with Ghost.

Richard E. Grant was amazing in Can You Ever Forgive Me. Really hoping for an upset win for him tonight.

I also really enjoyed his performance r110.

Bohemian Rhapsody did not make so much money in a country that elected Trump or not, but in every country, excluding China, where it's banned. Less in the US than at other places if anything. You sound like a fool.

Amandla Stenberg is a gorgeous girl. Her hair is meh but she’s beautiful!

R112 nah it did not

Shangela’s there too.

BR was the number one movie of the year in Europe and Japan

R116 hahah no, no immediately , after it became hit in US. People wanted to check it out. Thats doesnt mean they loved it after watching. You have to seperate two things...

It opened in other places before the US:..

Adam Lambert creeps me out with his 'refreshed' face...

The sensation about Bohemian Rhapsody is how much how many people love it after seeing it. This is kind of known. It exploded from word to mouth.

I'm guessing r116 is trolling, everything they say is too obviously bullshit.

Okay, if a official thread shows up, can you link it here. Thanks!

Also, Yalitza Aparicio looks pretty.

So many people on the show who shouldn’t be and I like Adam.

Snob

r121 I think the one at the link might be The One.

Adam Lambert really overdid it with the ear piercings.

I think it's a diamond studded hearing aid r125

Not the op of the thread, but can we agree the thread at r124 is the official one? I'll go follow it, but won't post until the show begins.

Okay?

Okay.

Yes the other is official. This one is a continuation of the Pre-Oscars.

We are here now.

Okay.

Yes. Keep this thread but I think someone anal will start one.

I'm almost positive someone's gonna start an *!*!*OFFICIAL*!*!* thread moments before the Oscars start, even if the already made thread is at the top. They always do.

DL bottom drama.

When do the awards start ? In a hour and half ?

People love to start Offical , Breaking , and so and so is dead to me threads.

5p/8e

Anyone know where you can watch via internet?

You should buy an over the air antenna, r135. It's what I have along with Netflix, and Amazon Prime. I watch my news and award shows via my antenna.

But YouTube may stream it.

The Red Carpet is on ABC now so we may be seeing comments from both now.

Emma Stone wishing luck to Marina de Tavira today. The diarrhea of courage to have the Goyri, Laura Zapata and other winners of the acclaimed TVyNovelas award.

I didn't know Dafoe is shorter than Malek

Most memorable day of my career... Congratulations to all the nominees. Have a great time tonight. Be happy.

seriously, how is this a real movie that is about to win a number of oscars?

Try as we might looks like this isn’t offical thread.

that's Adam Lambert in the clip

R142 I always assumed this was for pre-Oscar discussion. Once the actual ceremony begins I'm sure most of us will stick to the official threads for the show.

If both M and Jack are MIA who is the defecto biggest star in the room? Babs? It’s certainly not Glenn.

Word on the street Barbra is presenting A Star Is Born.

Spike Lee looks like a fucking clown. Such disrespect to the Academy. Vile racist piece of shit.

JLo looks fantastic. Although her boobs look too big

[quote]her boobs look too big

Malek making out with Oldman
