I agree with the first part. I'm not sure I agree with the second. What brought this on? 

Well he got the opportunity to write a Star Wars movie, which many people would do for free, and made it completely about himself and his own political views instead of respecting the Star Wars universe,

And his Knive's Out movies are basically screaming "look how smart I am!"

The Last Jedi was brilliant. Many Star Wars fanboys hated it because it wasn't nostalgia fanwank like The Force Awakens, but that's exactly because Johnson was hired, because TFA had few to no appeal to anyone that wasn't a SW fan already. 

We got 36 days until the new season of The Mandalorian, so move this to the Star Wars thread to occupy our time (again) discussing the good and the bad about this. :P (brilliant is a strong word to describe TLJ)

The Last Jedi was shit. Many Star Wars fanboys hated it because it shat all over the Star Wars mythology, but that's exactly because Johnson was hired, because Disney had no plan for the sequel trilogy and was willing to let any old hack have a shot at it regardless of whether they had cared about the story.

TFA was also shit.

I don't know about any of that. I thought the Knives out films were fine. I liked the second one a lot more than the first, but I still think they're overrated. TLJ is a whole different topic.

So far I've seen:

The Banshees Of Inisheran: Excellent, fantastic script
The Fabelmans: Boring
Elvis: average; great performance from Austin Butler
Top Gun Maverick: Best experience I've had in a cinema for a long time
Everything Everywhere All at Once: Brilliant and highly original; a real mindbender
All Quiet on the Western Front: Excellent
Triangle of Sadness: Entertaining, didn't really think of it as Best Picture material though

Disappointed RRR wasn't nominated for Best Foreign Film

Out of the best picture list, I haven't even heard of the bottom two. I think there might have been a snub or two there.

So Top Gun: Maverick gets best picture nod, an adapted screenplay nod (adapted from what?), visual effects, but fails to get a cinematography nod. Weird.

Three MCU movies this year, only Black Panther got a nod for visual effects. I would have picked Multiverse of Madness. Not that it matters, Avatar is winning that category.

I'm just going to assume that:

EEOAO wins best picture (it should), maybe it also wins best director but it'll probably go to Spielberg or something

Yeoh to win best actress, I heard Blanchett is good though, but it's Michelle's year.

Butler will probably win best Actor, but I don't think he deserves it, nice impression but he didn't get to do any real acting in that movie.

Reckon Pinocchio wins best animated.

Bassett best supporting actress

These seem pretty safe bets to me.

Feels like each category has two obvious picks. Triangle of Sadness won't win anything, but glad to see it got recognized. It basically ate The Menu's lunch.

You really think so? Triangle of Sadness is a big step down from The Square, and outside of the grandness of the production it does things we've largely seen before in terms of satire of the wealthy and privileged. I liked it well enough, especially Harrelson and Zlatko Buric trading anti-capitalist and anti-socialist quips, but it was disappointing after The Square which was just brilliant from start to finish. 

The Menu was a more unique approach to the same satire, and the performances were very strong from the leads (especially Fiennes, Taylor-Joy, and Hoult). 

Of the best picture nominees, of which I've yet to see all, the big surprises are surely Triangle  and All Quiet on the Western Front. The latter has done very well for a film that Netflix apparently didn't bother campaigning for, so one wonders if they go all-in now to push it that they could get it over the top despite a miss on Best Director?

I'm surprised Avatar got best picture nod but Cameron didn't get a Director nod. I enjoyed Avatar, but I would've flipped the nominations as I saw it more as a Director achievement than Best Picture material.

But I haven't seen any of the Best Director movies, so I'm probably way off base here.

:bang:

It got in for song (thankfully not score)

*grumble* 

Its one thing to say a weak year for cinema, another to see Keeravani getting an Oscar while Ilayaraja is alive or Rajamouli when Mani Ratnam or... sigh

Elephant Whispherers, Indian documentary got a nom. It was really good. And best intl/foreign feature had India send Chello( last) Film show, expected no noms as usual but if it had been RRR...with all that western reach and hype, Globes and extensive promotion (they earned enough to splurge twice over) it might've walked away with a few. Thanks for small mercies.

Of the nominated movies, I've seen:

The Banshees of Inishirin. It was an entertaining, hilarious movie. I like McDonagh's dark sense of humor.

Avatar. I really enjoyed this movie. It was a good cinematic experience.

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. It gets points for originality, but I absolutely hated the profuse sentimentality - especially at the end. I thought all of the characters were weak and whiny, and hoped against all odds that they would die gruesome deaths everywhere and all at once. And the humor was too slapstick and goofy for me.

Top Gun: Maverick. My dad dragged me to this one. It was all right. I appreciate what a feat those action sequences are though.

Of the ones I watched, Avatar is easily the best.

The movies I intend to watch: All Quiet on the Western Front, Women Watch, Triangle of Sadness. I'm especially looking forward to All Quiet on the Western Front (the book is wonderful).

Nothing will get me to watch Elvis or Tar. I view Hollywood biopics as pointless. I remember watching The Imitation Game and being just completely put off by its utter misrepresentation of Turing in nearly every conceivable way. And of course the movie was infatuated with the nonsense personal drama and not what actually made Turing interesting. The movie was an insult, consumately dross, and the Academy Awards - in their lobotomized state - adored it. I've avoided biopics after that.

The real question is how low will the ratings be for the Academy Awards this year?

People getting so sick of seeing these sanctimonious Hollywood types celebrate themselves.

If they want to boost their ratings they need to get someone irreverent like Ricky Gervais or Dave Chapelle to host ie. someone who will roast them and bring them back down to Earth.

But instead it will just be another circle jerk.

Just so we are clear about this. RRR could not have been nominated for Best Foreign Film as India didn't submit is as their movie. RRR could have only gotten into Best Picture.

 

@Heartofice, Blanchett is simply in her own league this year. What she does can be compared to DDL in "There Will Be Blood" or De Niro in "Raging Bull". It is a performance for the ages, even though not as popular as Yeoh's film.

@IFR, I hope you do know TAR is not a biopic. As brilliant as Cate Blanchett is in convincing people there is Lydia Tar somewhere out there, the fact is that she is a figment of imagination.

@Myrddin, it is no surprise that Cameron didn't get in Best Director. He was snubbed by both DGA and PGA - directors and producers guilds and they are notoriously snobbish. They did good job this year with nominating 5 exceptional directors. That said, I wish they could have nominated Charlotte Wells for "Aftersun".

I've never seen it. Will have to check it out.

Triangle is a surprise, but AQotWF isn't for me. They always like to have a war movie and it's certainly a quality one. Some of the visuals were as stunning as they were horrifying.
