l would say the odds on Black Panther winning a Oscar for Best Picture are not good.

I hope Roma wins personally so those odds are decent. Black Panther is pretty undeserving of being the first superhero film. I thought just this year Spiderman was better and in previous years A Dark Knight and Logan would be better contenders.

Re: Oscar Nominations 2019
l have not seen Roma yet but it obviously has a very good chance of winning Best Picture as The Academy tends not to award The Best Picture to the very populist mainstream blockbusters as the last one to win Best Picture was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Re: Oscar Nominations 2019
Unfortunately I think this year is going to be an absolute farce and mockery of the whole awards process and spoil it for people who genuinely deserve it. Hollywood is going to be out to make a political statement big time and Roma will win a tonne of Oscars and we'll get tonnes of speeches about the border wall, Trump and inclusivity. Similarly Black Panther will be all about black actors, female actors and black directors.
That being said I am delighted Black Panther has been nominated as much as it has and I hope it wins in every category. It isn't that I think the film necessarily deserves to win per se but it represents the popular vote and superhero films as a whole. I am not going to say it is more deserving than the other nominees at the moment because I haven't seen all the films but when I have I'll come back like I did last year and make a list of who I want to win and who I think is going to win in the main categories. I have made a summary table below of the nominees to save you scrolling endlessly through lists on websites: In previous years there has been a large number of nominated films across the categories, I think I have had 22 films to watch at one point. This year seems more constrained and the same films are nominated in each category. If you are like me and like to watch the main contenders I have narrowed them down to the 12 in the list below: A Star is Born Trailer At Eternitys Gate Trailer Blackkklansman Trailer Black Panther Trailer Bohemian Rhapsody Trailer Can You Ever Forgive Me Trailer The Favourite Trailer Green Book Trailer If Beale Street Could Talk Trailer Roma Trailer Vice Trailer The Wife Trailer There are a few others like Ready Player One, Solo and Incredibles 2 but I am sure most of us have seen them already. |

Other than that I hope Coleman wins Best Actress and Spiderman best animated film. |

Re: Oscar Nominations 2019
I think it's unfair, it's genuinely a lovely film. The most direct Trump bashing film is Blackkklansman. I haven't seen Green Book or Vice yet but it's the best film in that list IMO. Some of the other contenders are weak. I am surprised Leave No Trace got no nominations at all for example. I think Roma will win, even more sure it'll win best Director and Cinematography. It's so well shot.
I think The Favourite might end up with very few wins despite it's nominations though. |
Re: Oscar Nominations 2019
I'll let you know what i think when i have seen them.

Re: Oscar Nominations 2019
I've seen all the Best Picture nominees aside from A Star is Born (which I don't care about) and it's really weak list this year. I think Roma and The Favourite are the only films that should be in that list.

Re: Oscar Nominations 2019
I disagree. I have still got At Eternitys Gate, Blackkklansman, Can You Ever Forgive Me and If Beale Street Coukd Talk to Watch so i wont cast final judgement just yet but i thought Roma was absolute crap and by far the worst on the list. Tbh i think it is a joke it has been nominated for anything at all and i would nominate it for worst film of the year. Other than Black Panther, my favourite out of the nominees is The Green Book.

I completely disagree on Roma. May I ask why you disliked it so much? I can see why it wouldn't be a lot of people's film of the year but worst film of the year is harsh and I haven't seen anyone say it shouldn't be nominated for anything. Even it's few critics would concede the nominations for cinematography and foreign film. In terms of technical film making it's very good. |

In contrast, I watched Green Book afterwards and I watched it as I would a normal film, was interested in the story and characters and wanted to see what happened. |

But yeah, different tastes and so on. I liked Green Book too. The only films I would be unhappy to see win would be Vice or Bohemian Rhapsody. I also think A Star is Born was made just to win Oscars. |
