This is a year they could have made room for a ninth nomination and be justified. Eighth Grade not making any category is surprising.

91st Academy Awards Nominees
- Thread starter Khaos Prime
- Start date
The more I look at it, the more I'm baffled that Bohemian Rhapsody is even on there. Vice, Green Book, and even Black Panther are whatever, but freaking BR, that ends in a 15 minute concert sing along.
Who decided on these this year? Maybe the "Best Blockbuster" should have been a category all along. A lot of good movies were over looked, probably for being too indie, which is surprising considering it's the Oscars.

What political references?
I asked you to explain what political references you're talking about and you replied with "the political references."
Colonialism is probably a bigger taboo to criticize than Trump and Cheney.
Sorry to Bother You is my favorite movie of the year, but it is not an Oscar sort of film. It's a comedy, a satire at that, it has horror elements, and it deals with race in a brutally honest way, rather than one designed to make white people feel like they've come a long way.
I was hoping it might be able to squeeze into Best Original Screenplay, though.
I take that you are being sarcastic or didn't see the movie. The most awards talk I hear about for this film related to his performance. It probably got no awards push though, given what the film is and how they had to change distributor and messed up its US release.
I was entertained by it, and liked it too, but it is not award material, nor it deserves any nomination.
I am going of my memory. And I am not going to watch the movie again just to give the references. Man, I better would have said I didn't like the movie and found it way to much overhyped, and the political was a small part why I didn't like it. Is this enough for the jury?
Hey man, the Oscars did say they were wanting to introduce a most popular movie category. Bohemian Rhapsody is at 800M! lol.
That sounds pretty wrong to me.
Infinity War is probably the second or third best superhero film ever made, in my eyes.
The award for best visual effects for Infinity War is basically "Hey recognize Josh Brolin for Thanos because the awards don't count for digital characters."
I'd really like to see an award for best digital performance added.

If I choose to live in Fantasy Land, yes. Otherwise no. And then Into the Spider-Verse is better than both.
It's so hype that it's already been nominated for this year, though under a weird category. The Oscars belong to MAHVEL now, long may she reign.
👀
So just to clarify, you take issue with the "politics" of Black Panther but you're not able to give a single example because you forgot.
Yeah, this checks out.
And sorry maybe I am wrong. Maybe I should see the movie again. And is my memory deceiving me. Sorry if I offended someone.
People have been hammering on about how movies that are popular never get noms and stuff like Black Panther and Bohemian Rhapsody are sentiments to the fact that the Oscars might be changing. While BP was both liked by critics and audiences, BR was not liked by critics but audiences seem to really enjoy it.
The critics
The Acadamy
And Kevin Feigie agree Black Panther is a better movie.
Absolutely. I mean, I've literally been discussing how it's inferior from a narrative standpoint for the past two or three pages, so you don't have to go back that far to catch up.
Yeah, sorry. That's not a good way to argument. I should have known better.
I've been telling you for several pages and you haven't had much in the way of a rebuttal, outside of your head-scratching ability to find Thanos sympathetic.
There ought to be a best digital performance category. But Solo deserves to win for Visual Effects for all its practical effects work; RPO and Infinity War use so much CGI that they're practically animated films.
Wow I love the fact that Roma was nominated, I expected it to remain only a candidate for best foreign film
I promise this isn't some crazy opinion only I hold. And I gave other reasons too.
Somehow I knew Black Panther would be nominated based on the size of this thread.
That movie being nominated for Best Picture is just the Academy trying to play to a certain crowd who have complained about them in the past. It's not even in the top 3 best super hero movies of last year.

George lucas says that attack of the clones is a great movie.
Haha, I know it's not an opinion only you hold. It'd be silly of me to accuse only you of having a bad opinion when "It's not even the best Marvel movie of 2018!" is just a common lazy refrain in here.
I am impressed you can keep a straight face while saying that.
I loved Vice so suck it, Era. No First Man breaks my heart tho, specially considering that it missed the Original Score nom. That's a fucking crime.
Some interesting choices. Hoped Fallout could have snagged a tech nom or two.
BR really seemed to appeal to older crowds. My parents and their friend circles were over the moon about it.

Haven't seen it yet but pretty impressed by all of the BlackKklansman nominations. Really feels like a big comeback for Lee, and another big success for Peele as well.
Also kinda surprised Spider-Verse actually got a nomination. Guess the acclaim was too big for the Academy to ignore this time (*glances at Meatballs, Lego Movie, Lego Batman Movie*).
Kinda not surprised really. The presentation for that film overall was entirely stellar.
