thewhyteboar Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Power of the Dog was really good. I love Jesse Plemons so I'm happy for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I didn't see the matrix so maybe it wasn't a visual effects bonanza but no nomination for it. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Plemons is in the "always good" category. He was left out of a lot of other lists that the other performances in that movie made, so it's nice to see him get in there. But my pick in that category is Troy Kotsur. He is a goddamn delight in CODA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I've seen none of these except Dune. I really wanted to see Licorice Pizza and missed it in the cinema...fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 I didn’t really set out to do it, (I have an AMC A-List subscription and ample free time) but the only Best Picture nominee I haven’t seen yet is Drive My Car, and that’s because it hasn’t started playing here yet.

69los Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 You're right I don't care but Don't Look Up being nominated annoys me. I guess it fit the Crash-mold of bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Don't Look Up is the one populist picks for the year. It doesn't have a chance but they wanted to nominate at least one movie that everyone has seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 If it wasn't for "Visual Effects" I would have seen only one movie on the entire list, DUNE. With Spider-Man, that makes two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamusha Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I've seen six of the ten best picture nominees. I'll try to catch up over the next few weeks but I really have no interest in King Richard. Don't Look Up: 6/10 Nightmare Alley: 6/10 Dune: 8/10 Licorice Pizza: 10/10 West Side Story: 10/10 The Power of the Dog: 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 definitely rooting for coda i liked power of the dog but would def be disappointed if it won bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Power of the Dog seems like such a front-runner at this point, it would almost be a boring win (for a great movie). There’s a possibility of Don’t Look Up taking it in a Green Book-like upset. The only other nominee that seems remotely likely is Belfast, a fine movie that’s traditional Oscar Bait.

TwinIon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I was disappointed that Villeneuve didn't get a directing nod. I really loved Dune, but it's not the kind of movie that wins best Picture. Might have had a better shot at director though. 11 minutes ago, TheLeon said: Power of the Dog seems like such a front-runner at this point, it would almost be a boring win (for a great movie).

I don't think Power of the Dog is nearly as much of a front runner as we've had in past years. I think GoldDerby agrees with that. I still need to catch up on a few of the Best Pic noms (Drive my Car, West Side, Licorice Pizza), but I think as long as Don't Look Up doesn't win, I can be happy. I'm honestly confused as to how Don't Look Up became an "awards movie" at all. I'm guessing it's because "it has an important message" or something like that, but so very few comedies get nominated for awards, it's rather bizarre that it's this one that makes it through.

Well, it’s barely a comedy, so maybe that helps? It does have that “Important!” label, and it seems like Adam McKay has become one of those guys that will just keep getting nominated as long as he’s making movies like this (star-studded issues-based dramedies).

johnny Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 i actually think power of dog and west side story are my two most likely. coda is my dark horse. it’s been getting more love lately whereas i think belfast and power of dog have been falling off. i’ll eat my fucking hat if belfast wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It always baffles me that there is ever a divergence between the nominees for Best Picture and Best Director. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when cinematography also follows most best directors too. Dune is up for that but for directing. I hope they aren’t pulling a LOTR and waiting for DV to finish his COMPLETE film vision of Dune itself. The man deserves his Scorsese win sooner then, well, Scorsese. I will also admit I have seen non of the nominations. Either theatres were close or I was not comfortable attending a show. Plus I have been without a home theatre receiver for like 6 months now, and I like watching my movies with big sound on my projector. Yeah a little snobbish but headphones/tv speakers just don’t really cut it for me anymore. Hopefully I’ll get receiver very soon and I can binge some movies then. Got my 4K/3D copy of Dune raring to go. Plus nothing at all for Godzilla Vs Kong for sound or vfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because while some films truly are the vision of their directors, some aren't. Big studio pictures that are produced by powerful producers are almost always more collaborative and sometimes the film we ended up seeing in the theater has little to do with what the director himself made or would have made. the Academy members know that. It's why the Producers usually get the best picture awards at the end of the night. That's the only reason I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still left the notion that the director of a film is akin to the conductor of an orchestra - the individual who ensures that the disparate parts coalesce to form a cohesive whole. Without such a basis, there would not be very much quality material for the others involved in the collaborative endeavor to work with in any event. With that in mind, I just simply can't see how any film nominated for Best Picture -- regardless of the extent of the collaboration involved in delivering the final output -- can get there without inherently having a "Best Director" nominee at the helm.

Someone like Jame Cameron is involved with every aspect of the filmmaking process and can probably do every department head's job as well as them or better and is more than likely producing his projects is well is going to be more involved than some for hire director who is probably proficient on one or two aspects of the process but leans on their producer a lot more than a more experienced guy. So many films are saved in the edit without a director being involved that it's not inconceivable that some films are good in spite of their directors and not because of them. It really depends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I watched Ascension last night and im fucking puzzled how The Rescue wasn't nominated for best documentary. The same director already won for Free Solo so idk how he could have gotten this overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
