Patty Jenkins has been mentioned too, she'll is getting DC money for Wonder Woman 1984. The sisters behind the Matrix would have no problem getting funding either.

So it is slowly changing. It's mostly the official awards that allude them for now. Reviews and commercial success is largely there.

Anyway I think this year there is a genuine toss-up for Best Picture. Could be: 1917, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman or Joker IMO.
l hope they give the Best Picture to The Joker but somehow l doubt that they will.

Re: Oscar 2020 Nominations

I'll let you know when I have seen it. I have made a list of 15 films I want to work my way through including all of those nominated for best picture. I watched 1917 today and thought it was very average. The best thing about it was the way it was filmed. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a true story I would say don't bother watching it. I hope there are a few surprises in the bunch but the ones I am looking forward to watching the most atm are The Irishman, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood. I don't know anything about the character/person but I love Tom Hanks.

Re: Oscar 2020 Nominations

I really liked 1917. It's not just the impressive technical achievement but the way it looks, the tension, the music and the way you're involved with these specific characters all the way though it.

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood I enjoyed but be warned it's a very slow burner as a film. It's mostly about the environment, the relationships and the characters rather than a story that hooks you in.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood is also good and interestingly Tom Hanks and the character of Mister Rodgers are supporting the main character and actor whose a man going though a hard time that develops a friendship with Mr Rodgers. Rogers himself is only explored though this journalists eyes so it's different to what I was expecting.

As for the others I have seen of the 'Best Picture' candidates I would rank em:

1. 1917
2. Joker
3. JoJo Rabbit
4. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
5. Little Women
6. Ford vs Ferrari

Need to watch Parasite. Will try and watch The Irishman but 3 hours - urh.

Re: Oscar 2020 Nominations

You need to watch The Irishman in two parts in my opinion as we took a tea break for a fair while and then watched the second half.

Re: Oscar 2020 Nominations

I should have caught it whilst it was in the cinema. I don't have the attention span unless I am forced by the environment to commit to it.

tell me about it, I thought Once Upon a Time was enough at 3 hours but when I saw The Irishman was three and a half hours I took a deep breath. I will watch it all in one go but it is going to be during the day on a day off. I think the only films I have ever watch which are that long are the extended editions of LOTR and maybe the extended edition of one other film which I can't remember.

Even the LOTR extended versions l watched in 2 parts as 4 hours is more then enough in one go for any film watcher.

Re: Oscar 2020 Nominations

With Avengers:Endgame up for a Best Gisual Effects Oscar, I found this interesting.

Re: Oscar 2020 Nominations

It's this Sunday too. No one is expecting any surprises although maybe Parasite could pull a shock and win Best Picture.
