FreudianSlippers posted:Yeah but the best picture nominated pictures were made by an evil Englishman, a filthy Mexican, a wild Irishman, another wilder Irishman, a savage Australian. You're forgetting, he's French Canadian.  Edit: We also have the metric system and love socialism.

MonsieurChoc posted:I dunno, Hateful 8 has the benefit of Ennio Morricone never getting an Oscar before, so the "it's his turn" factor is pretty strong. They gave him an honorary Oscar a few years back as consolation already, but yeah it would be nice if he finally got one "for real".

Basebf555 posted:My brain has been boycotting the Oscars for a decade now because it won't stay awake for more than 5 minutes of the show. I'm still pissed at the idiotic tribute to musicals they did a few years back. Instead of performing all the nominees for original song they did 3/5 so they could shoehorn in a completely unnecessary tribute to Chicago because of course the producers of the show that year also produced Chicago.

MorgaineDax posted:The best tribute to musicals was that song and dance Hugh Jackman did with cardboard sets. I still crack up thinking of him almost losing it while doing an interpretive dance about "The Reader". Better yet, the song was about how he hadn't seen it.

computer parts posted:It depends what you mean by damning political implications - The Last Emperor might count, for example, but only for They got permission from the Chinese government to film though? And it's not really critical of the Communist government either outside of the Cultural Revolution which by then the Chinese recognized was a clusterfuck. Fahrenheit 9/11 was a pretty controversial (documentary) win for sure. Cacator fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jan 21, 2016 |

Corek posted:Fahrenheit 9/11 didn't win, and wasn't even nominated, because Moore chose to put it on TV before the awards, intentionally making it ineligible. Bowling for Columbine won. My mistake, I was thinking of his big speech which I guess was at the beginning of the war and not during it.

Sicario's score was boss but Morricone will always be my man. I'm surprised Revenant was shut out of this one though.

I'm mainly going to be pissed if Revenant wins because it's easily a better film than Birdman and there were still two movies better than Birdman last year (Boyhood and Whiplash)

I think this is the only Oscar show I've seen that didn't include a pointless montage of old unrelated movies, so good job!!Kull the Conqueror posted:It also beat Network which I'd pick out of those three, but they're all pretty excellent so whatevs. Nah Network was the year before. Edit: Nope, I'm wrong. I too would pick Network.

Raxivace posted:Honestly though 1975 might be the best Best Picture lineup I've seen. '74 has Godfather II, Chinatown and The Conversation and two of those are better than any movie in 1975 but yeah 1975 is more solid as a whole. Christ what a decade for movies.
