Honestly the crowd sounds less like they're cheering and more like they're screaming in agony
Hey I know you, well I'm gonna be the first like
Go watch over the hedge
why is schaffrillas here? oh well, love your vids anyways lol
That's a stretch of an interpretation if I ever saw one.
Hello there
Roma walked so Parasite could run
True Parasite is fucking amazing.
And why tf is Black Panther nomimated for best picture.
@@user-pb6ej8kp1g last year's Oscars was horrible. There were only like 2 movies in the best picture category that were actually good. 2019 was much better and thank god Parasite won.
@@shineon9715 Facts Facts Facts
I finally got over this thanks to Parasite
TheMarsGamer yes the favourite and roma were best picture tier
Parasite to Roma: You were good son, real good, maybe even the best.
Best at being boring. Lol
Ryan's Channel said the child
@Aaron Shouting I wonder how long it took you to come up with that one.
@@RyanStaben You do realize I was talking about Roma and not Parasite, right? Parasite was my favorite film of last year.
Roma was a boring, overrated slog that didn't deserve best picture (The Favourite did). It was great on a technical standpoint, but the fact that people call "Roma" a masterpiece boggles me.
At least the winner wasn’t Bohemian Rhapsody
Pretty low bar tho
Yes.
That's the one thing that kept me from being upset about Green Book winning - "At least is wasn't Bohemian Rhapsody"
As a Queen fan, 100% agree, but it should have gone to Roma or BlacKKKlansman at least. Green Book was great, but not phenomenal like those two.
Sadly it wasn't
History will be kind to Roma, which will be studied, discussed, and remembered for years to come.
It already is
Roma is already forgotten. It was boring and only seen by 12 people.
And The Favourite!
@@hamdi002 As a movie to study, not as a movie to enjoy and live, that's Green Book.
@@TheTerryE umm no one knew and still don't know green book meanwhile films like roma and black panther are already studied by historians and considers changing Hollywood perspective minority dominated films
"Yo, Green Book, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but Roma is the best picture of the year! One of the best movies of all time!"
Do you really think Kanye would support a modest and deeply poignant film? He's far more likely to get behind A Star is Born or Bohemian Rhapsody because they both feature big names in music.
@@jdbruiser why so serious? 🤦♂️
@@amr_12_ I'm not being serious, I'm just pointing out that I believe it'd be more coherent for Kanye to support the musically related big blockbusters instead of a more somber and emotionally resonating film. I'm just suggesting that a triple A artist would most likely support triple A Hollywood films-especially if the two combine like Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born do.
JDINCINERATOR - It’s a fucking meme dude
@@jdbruiser "Do you really think Kanye would support a modest and deeply poignant film?" Honestly he probably would
That's not right way to spell 'Shrek 2'.
Mairead Malesco At least Universal did BOTH.
Stfu that joke is awful.
Universal bought out Dreamworks. So they actually didn’t make it.
Green Book was the last movie that I saw with my father. It was a beautiful, idyllic and amusing evening together. The following night my father passed away fully unexpectedly. I will never forget this last evening my entire life. Every time I watch this movie again, I see my father smiling right before my eyes.
I’m sorry for your loss. I’m certain he is still by your side in everything you do. What a beautiful memory to hold on to. I just finished watching this movie with my mom and dad. Much love from a stranger that cares .
It's extremely sad and heart breaking to read your comment. I'm sorry for your father. He will remain alive in the hearts of you and everyone he loved and loved by. My father passed away in the year 2014. I haven't even turn 21 yet by the time he departed us. But, I always cheer him in my heart, and doing things to make his soul proud and happy. Godspeed!!!
So sorry to hear that. So glad you watched this movie with your daddy.
I’m sure this shit film is what killed him.
Im sorry for your loss 🙏♥️
Did you know that Mahershala Ali who won an Oscar in this movie was also won the first with Moonlight winning Best Picture?
Hoang Long Le Chi proud of him
He was also in Hidden Figures, another Best Picture nominee that year too.
Eric Turpel yeah also OCTIVIA SPENCER in Hidden Figures, And this movie and Shape of water and it also won last year
I call it the Mahershala-Effect: Every movie with Mahershala Ali wins Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Ali) and Screenplay.
Green Book: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Mahershala Ali), Best Original Screenplay
Moonlight: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Mahershala Ali), Best Adapted Screenplay.
Ali is going to be a legend!!!
Octavia Spencer’s movies have also won back to back best picture
Im still waiting a day where Viggo wons an oscar
Would’ve easily won for eastern promises in 2008 if he wasn’t competing with Daniel Day Lewis
@@aragornskywalker6058agree
Peter Farrelly has more Oscars than Stanley Kubrick and Orson Welles because of this. Think about that....
dude stop with these disturbing facts
my blood pressure is already up
And Hitchcock...
Good since Kubrick is overrated.
Same with Alfred Hitchcock. No Oscars. Just Honorary one.
Even if I really enjoy Green Book, it's no where near to the level of classic Alfred Hitchcock films. Those films influenced cinema especially suspense and horror and cleverly written.
Roma: “I did it for you Parasite! I did it for you...😢”

It's really overrated.

@@laurajones1773 overrated but winning only 1 oscar are u loose ur goddamn mind?!?
Green book wasn’t bad. But the favourite and Blackkklansman were both so much better
Viggo Mortensen was absolutely amazing in this film. He deserves to have won an Oscar for his performance.
I cannot understand all the hate. This film was so beautiful. And was one of the best I’ve seen in character development in quite awhile.
Many people were rooting for something else is why. A lot of people rooted for Roma. Many rooted for BlacKkKlansman. Some even for Black Panther (which I find ridiculous). That's why the "hate" started. Although many people may not actually hate Green Book, they are still annoyed with the win.
It was soooooo cliche.
I never understood the hate either..
I thought Green Book was the best film. I also never understood all the hate towards Black Panther getting nominated?! I think it's more jealousy and race
@Diego Pisfil AGAIN, that's your opinion
It was sooo cliche filled and played like a slightly elevated tv movie with better acting. The acting was the only thing I really enjoyed.
I can't understand why the oscars always ignores foreign films for best picture.
"Of course, the Oscars is Hollywood voting on its favourite movie, which means “America first”, but it’s “best picture”, right? As in “best picture in the world”, not “best picture by an American or Brit”." -The Guardian
Because the Oscars are an American organization and awards show.
I agree. I've only watched 3 foreign films in my life ( all within the past 7 months) and they're in my top 10 already.
Bojan Jotanovic They literally said “Could you give me just one more?” by the end of the film, so...
Hope that changes this year with Parasite!
It really is a shame, if in this ceremony was sad, in the ceremony of 2010, films like: A prophet (France), The white ribbon (Germany) and The secret in their eyes (Argentine) was ignored in the category of best film, while films like Avatar, An education and A serius man, it got the nomination. Facts of life.
2020 Best Picture: Parasite. It needs to win!
I also want parasite to win but it is the academy
HelloYouHelloMe when you see that the Academy gave Green Book Best picture, it’s pretty obvious we can forget films like Parasite to get Best Picture. But who cares, Parasite won the Palme d’or, which is much more prestigious than an Oscar. Parasite=one of the best films ever
I would’ve picked The Lighthouse but yes Parasite needs to win
They've probably already decided that 6 nominations and a sure win at Best International Film is enough.
Anything foreign or Netflix produced won't win for these assholes
1999: Shakespeare in love
2006: Crash
2019: Green Book
Leave those 3 films alone! 😐
Eduardo Santos 1997: the English patient
2003: Chicago
Sit Down Miss!
What film will win at 2026?????
2009: The Hurt Locker
2010: The King's speech
2016: Moonlight
Consider that Steven Spielberg make lobby to make Roma lose against Green Book for being a "streaming service TV movie". And now he's working for Apple and it's new streaming service.
Ever since he started that campigan to make sure Netflix films don't get nominated for best picture I knew he had something to do with roma losing best picture I lost respect for him since then
I doubt he will push Apple TV+ for Oscars.
I mean i still i respect him for making some of my favorites.

The Favourite or Roma should have Won easily. Green Book isn't a Bad movie. It's enjoyable and doesn't deserve the hate and fake outrage it has received. But it shouldn't have Won Best Picture
All fax. No printer in sight.
Agreed. Why are people hating on this film exactly? My parents saw this a few months ago and they loved it. For me, I thought Roma or Bohemian Rhapsody would win. But I would say that Green Book's a nice surprise for me. And i'm glad Farrelly took this award home. He's been making too many bad films, and i'm glad that his work paid off with this one.
Yea, but why was Roma up for Best Foreign Movie and Best Movie? It should have just been in the foreign movie category.

It's crazy how the Oscars can be incredibly wrong one year (Green Book), and then the next year they sort of redeem themselves by giving the prize to the actual best movie (Parasite). We'll see how the next year goes.
Green book was amazing
I beg to disagree with you both
@@achepe9978 We can agree to disagree
A.N there won’t be a next year
Roma makes me sleep
Wow Julia Robers, my gosh what a beauty!!!!!!
Kind of narrow assessment of beauty...
The Green Book is great, why the hate?
Mainly because of who it won over
I have not seen any of these movies, except for black panther and bohemian rhapsody, but here’s why there’s so much hate:
Green book was mainly a road trip movie that discussed on topics of racism
The problem was, green book was the safest option to go with, they could gone the experimental route instead
For example, they could have given the award to black panther and make it the first ever superhero movie to win best picture
They could have given it to the favorite, and made it the first LGBTQ+ movie to win best picture
Roma could have been the first ever foreign language film to win best picture
In fact, Blackkklansman also touched on topics of racism, and from what I’ve heard it’s done an arguably better job of doing it
Like I said, I’ve only seen two of these movies so there’s a chance I’m completely wrong about this, but this is just what I’ve heard
I’m personally sad that bohemian rhapsody didn’t win, but from what I’ve seen there’s been a lot of people saying Roma should have won
It may have been good, but a lot of people seem to think that the other options were better
@@gameboynextdoor5744 Moonlight actually has lgtbq themes and that won best picture
@@gameboynextdoor5744 Green book wasn't just about racism and the movie portrayed that subject in a deeply personal way than Blackkklansman. It was the friendship between two unlikely men and how it affects and changes both of them. I, personally, felt that blackkklansman was a bit too in on the racism thing (though given the story I wouldn't complain too much but still), focusing more on just 'racism bad'. I am not saying that it's a bad movie, I just lean more towards green book as it's not the racism subject that is given center stage but rather the unlikely companionship and it's effects. And why different ? Just because something is different doesn't mean they should have gone that way, especially not simply because of it being different. I also believe Roma should have won but not simply because it was a foreign film but rather because I felt it was more deserving.
PS. Wasn't Doc also portrayed as lgbtq+ ?
And Driving Miss Daisy wins again...
At least Driving Miss Daisy was good
Spike Lee lost both times to some road trip movie
@@heisen-bones Well "Do the Right Thing" wasn't up for Best Picture or Best Director.
@@wylier it bloody well should've been
2:56 Viggo Mortensen ❤️❤️.
Nominating Black Panther for this category was the dumbest decision by the Academy.
Obviously, the Academy thought otherwise
Remember when Crash winning it
They just did that cause the cast was almost all black so it would look good for the white people.
The only reason it was nominated was because of it's all black ensemble
@@heisen-bones and because it grossed a lot of money.
I saw Green Book at its second screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. It got a 10 minute standing ovation, and the cast and crew came on stage after the movie. I knew from that moment this movie was going to go far in awards season
Here are the movies I FEEL we're the most likely to win best picture
8: Black Panther
7: Bohemian Rhapsody
6: Vice
5: Green Book
4: A Star is Born
3: Blackkklansman
2: The Favourite
1: Roma
Is an amazing movie, too sad you have to be in the trend to hate it

Dude Vice sucked
@@ruly8153 but is better than Green Book.
Moviegoers: “Crash is the worst best picture winner ever!”
The Academy: “Hold my beer.”
Green Book >>>>> The Hurt Locker and Spotlight
Crash is still the worst. Green Book is a decent movie but it has no business winning BP
And both are race-bait films. It's funny how The Academy does this.
Green Book isn't a bad film but it is not best picture worthy.
Crash isn't a bad film, whether it deserved to win is another story. Academy voters went with a safer option than a film about homosexuals to alleviate controversy.
3:17 "I want to thank Steven Spielberg"

"...for rigging it in our favor."

Don't worry. I definitely can. I'd honestly much prefer it over The Shape of Water and especially Moonlight which was the worst nomination of that year.

@@RyansChannel0203 you're entitled to your wrong opinion
In that it's better? Maybe not. But a fine movie. 2001: A Space Odyssey didn't even get a nom in '68. If the film you think should have won really is a masterpiece, it will inevitably be eventually as one. Until then, please stifle your own sense of self-righteousness over an ultimately pointless reality TV award show.
I loved Green Book, it was on my 2018 Top 10, but I don't think it deserved Best Picture over Roma, The Favourite or Blackkklansman
Or Black Panther, which would have become the first superhero movie to have ever won. Also the third Sci-Fi/Fantasy film to win.
Forget that, I feel the best film of the year - If Beale Street Could Talk wasn't even nominated..Though I'm happy it got an Adapted Screenplay nom..
Iago Luíz really you want that film to win I mean it the first superhero movie to win and all but it should be gone to the dark knight or Logan (the superhero movies that appeared in the Oscars but didn’t win any awards)
It was second best picture. All the others were tied for first place.

The Green Book was fucking amazing. What's up with all the hate?
The Academy broke a tradition! Usually since the 90's they played drums before announcing the winner of Best Picture. To emphasize the suspense since its the most important category of the ceremony. Please, bring the drums back!
You’ve got to be kidding
I thought Green Book was a good movie.
That's the thing. It's a "good movie." Well acted, has some points, but nothing that hasn't been seen or done before. The Oscars needs to start focusing on awarding the actual "best" again, the ones that's challenge the medium. While "Parasite" was not my pick for Best Picture this year (I was rooting for "The Irishman"), it's more in the vein of what it should mean to represent the Oscars.

GREENBOOK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Although it sometimes felt a little too simple in a straightforward way, I still love this movie. At the same time that’s also where it’s power is. It has stirred up some controversy but I think that’s a good thing because the message is strong. I think this film was not made to make a white audience feel bad about themselves, showing the absurdity and humiliation of the racist customs in the Deep South of the sixties (although it is both absurd and humiliating), or to make a white audience feel good about themselves that a racist white guy befriends a black guy after overcoming some obstacles. That would not honour what this movie is about. The movie shows two people from completely different worlds overcoming their flaws and prejudices and becoming very good friends. It’s also about common sense, doing what’s right and the value of friendship.
The criticism that the movie received about “telling the story only through the perspective of a white italian/american caricature” is flawed. The movie clearly puts the development of the relationship between both characters in the center. The choice to begin the story with the white character and his world, makes the movie even stronger. Because now we feel what the black character (entering the stage in about a quarter of the film) has to deal and to put up with. Plus it adds to the mystery and alienation of his character. When we also learn that he doesn’t even fit in his ‘own community’ it is clear to see why the movie did’nt start with him.
From reading Lawrence Ware’s (NYT) review I understood that not adressing further the pianist’s sexual incident at the YMCA was a miss. But after hearing another viewpoint from a close friend about it I tend to disagree with Ware. “Sexual orientation is a very private matter” (as she explained to me) “and it should not matter in a friend or work relationship. The film should be about what both men are. Not that one of them has a (for that time) devient orientation. ‘Devient’ sexual orientation is from all times by the way.”
With both characters and their innately awkward relationship at the center of the movie there is a lot to explore and root for. Would it be interesting to start with the pianist and his world? It would take away some of the mystery of his character, yet at the same time give a close and indepth look on the complexity of his situation. Not that we don’t feel this in the current movie. Eventually it comes in strong thanks to a gradual reveal and the inevitable clash between the two. People who say that this film is made to make white people feel good about themselves have completely missed the point. I would even say that in a time where divicive and polarising retoric is used to seperate us even more from one another this film is a very welcome breath of fresh air.
P.S. I haven’t seen all the other movies yet, I thought Black Panther was better then Greenbook and I’m curious to see the others. But I’m happy for the recognition that the Greenbook team received. It’s an important movie. It is time more then ever, that we unite and come together.
Great perspective on the film!
That sure was a long comment. The movie was just one cliche after another. It was trite.
I'm sorry but are you white?
Viggo appears in two best picture oscars winner = Green Book and TLOTR Return of The King...!

Why are people so mad about this? It was a outstanding movie, it had a great message behind it with some great acting.
It was a good movie, but there were better movies here.
I don't understand the hate either. I thought Green Book was the Best Film

Connor Webb there were better made films technically but the story in green book was lovely and deserved to win. It tackled racism and friendship in such an emotional way. It deserved to win and it did
I'm very glad Green Book won 3 important awards (I loved that movie since the 1st time I saw it), even if Roma remains the best movie of 2018.
I really love this movie! Brilliant Viggo Mortensen, he should have won the oscar!
Diego Pisfil are you a fan of the Dark Knight films by any chance
He just played an Italian stereotype
Green Book is the best movie i saw in 2018
@@spiderjack2607 yeah bro 20x fucking Times i watched the movie and no boring
@@spiderjack2607 must have been the only one
If people didn't like this win, how come there are more likes than dislikes for this video and how come this win has more likes than Shakespeare in Love and Crash combined?
When this was first posted there were way more dislikes- ratio was like 2:1.
Makes you think- why so many likes now, despite the overwhelming negative comments.... hmmm 🤔
@@warnockossoffwon5494 why indeed
spike lee left the oscars when 'Green Book' won
Can you imagine of black panther won BEST PICTURE ?
Can you imagine BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY winning BEST PICTURE?
The favourite, roma, or blackkklansman should have won and this is the weakest the category has been since the year the artist won. Thankfully the 2019/2020 category has a great lineup
True, why tf is Black Panther and Green Book there
Roma is so simple and boring, I dont understand the hype?? Greenbook was way better and deserving
Greenbook is about as generic as oscar bait can get
@Claude, The Finest From Deluge it actually is. Green Book is the most cookie-cutter generic oscar bait film about "racism" to win Best Picture since Crash. Yes, the movie is heartwarming and funny but Best Picture worthy? Granted it was a weak list of nominees, but when it was up against Roma, The Favourite and Blackkklansman, GB was the weakest one to win. Again, not saying it's garbage, but if the Academy really wanted to propagate a message about racism across, they should've voted Blackkklansman. The ending of Green Book is cute, but not perfect. Since it implies that racism is officially over. But if you watched the very ending of Blackkklansman and if you've been paying attention to the events of 2020, you'd realize it's far from the truth.
That is why I think it should not have won Best Picture.
What was happening there at the end? Were people not wanting that last guy to talk or something?
This victory has that "Crash" taste. Not good.
Green Book was pretty good all things considered
not oscar worthy tho
Eduardo Q Quina I’m cool with it’s acting and editing nomination however best picture win is a stretch
But a win? Blackkklansman was so much better. But just like 1989, Spike Lee lost to a road trip movie
It's a good movie, but it's a really disappointingly safe pick for best picture when arguably there were better movies nominated.
I got to say: Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Panthers’ nominations were a surprise to be sure and an unwelcome one. I really like BP but Best Picture nomination is way too far, farther than the entire Pacific and don’t get me started on BR. It’s just a generic biography movie
@DARIUS-PETRU SALE, why should Black Panther win?
bp is the best
Green Book was a excellent story and great film that made me cry
Julia’s hair and makeup is some of the most stunning I’ve seen on her
Shout-Out to the late Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia
And they say that cinema is dead because of Netflix and MCU.
Ya. Its dying because of the Oscars
There’s only 3 MCU movies a year anyway: 3 out of hundreds of movies. They’re just the ones that get the most attention unsurprisingly.
I think Shoplifters was better than Roma but I'd stil pick either over Green Book
Black panther being nominated is still the most hilarious thing about this
I'm surprised Black Panther even scored a nomination here. Despite all the rumors. But I'm not complaining. But hey, if Toy Story or Mad Max got best picture, practically almost any blockbuster can at this point.
Why would you be surprised???? I'm NOT...…………….
@@celticdw1983 I've heard rumors it would get it. But I didn't think it would happen.
When I first saw its nomination, I thought it was the clear weak link. After seeing all of the nominees that year, I realized that Black Panther was closer to mid-tier. The nominees that year were pretty weak overall, and Green Book winning just cemented that year's lackluster status.
@@SuperScarface83 actually
The only movie i root for BP nom is The Favourite (I JUST LOVED THIS MOVIE DESPITE IT'S DELICIOUS WEIRDNESS)
I think 'a star is born' deserved it much more....
I love how they put the category on the envelope this year because of the lala land fuck up LOL
I would've swaped Black Panther with Infinity War.
I Don't care about haters
I love this movie so much
2:57 So happy that vigo got his oscar moment.
Never forget: this video had more thumbs down than up, before the dislikes were hidden
Anyone watching it only for Julia Roberts & how she's meeting ppl in the back:))
Love Green Book. Brilliant. Great Acting.
Crash, Shakespeare in love or Green Book, which is the worst winner coz I'm confused
I think the most ridiculous thing about Shakespeare in Love is that it beat out A Bug's Life, Mulan and The Prince of Egypt for Score. The Prince of Egypt was snubbed bad.
Shakespeare In Love because Green Book and Crash are pretty good
I think some of the worst Best Picture winners are Slumdog Millionaire and Birdman.
Thank you someone who agrees with me that Birdman sucks. Boyhood was robbed that year.
Boyhood is a great film.
The guy who made "Shallow Hal" wins an Oscar....there's hope for us all!
1) The Favourite
2) Roma
3) BlacKkKlansman
4) A Star Is Born
5) Black Panther
6) Bohemian Rhapsody
7) Green Book
8) Vice
All I can really say is, what happened between last year's ceremony and this? "The Shape of Water", "Get Out", "Lady Bird", "Phantom Thread", "Three Billboards" - all strong films from a better than average best picture field. More crucially, they were films that not only impressed in a technical sense, but also brought something unique and engaging in terms of narrative and emotional scope.
You compare that to the 8 movies listed above, and its rather puzzling to see that kind of downward slope. I say that as among the nominees there was 1 film I loved (The Favourite), 4 that I liked (Roma - Black Panther), and 3 that simply baffled made the cut, to be frank. If this is indicative of the oscar's future, than that's truly disappointing.
You are in the minority. Most people LOVED Green Book and hated Roma.
@@johnatdell lmao what 🤡
Please Academy!
Put in a single video the complete ceremony with all categories with the clips of nominees (no need to put Queen and presentations of songs).
I think the problem with that is they can’t upload the full clips of the nominated films as they are copyrighted.
Roma should have won 😕😕😕
It really, really should had won.
Be honest, how many more times are you going to rewatch Roma
Boring
Nah
@@nickparadies350 As many times as possible, especially when the Criterion set comes this year.
Peter Farrelly with the Oscar--Jesus. That's the one plum the world (including him) never expected him to acquire.
How did lady Gaga movie even get nominated?
ROMA SHOULD’VE WON
Jake Panek true
No way was a Netflix winning Best Picture
So Netflix can’t, but that pig Harvey Weinstein can? Okay...
@@angelcastaneda529 Ummmm Shakespeare in Love was in the cinema. Harvey made Hollywood loads of Money. Netflix is what online shopping is to Shops at the Mall. Until Netflix changes its distribution ways and becomes like Amazon they will never Win Best Picture. It's annoying but that's the truth.
For sure.
Huge coincidence. Moonlight and Green Book are the movies that helped Ali get an Oscar. AND they both won Best Picture as well.
The Academy sometimes understands movies and listens to the public on what should actually be Best Picture
1. Roma
2. BlacKkKlansman
3. Green Book
4. A Star Is Born
5. Black Panther
6. Bohemian Rhapsody
7. The Favourite
8. Vice
