@WatchMojo.com GTD hasn't won for Best Director. He was nominated for Pan's Labyrinth on categories - Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Picture and lost to Michael Adamt, Little Miss Sunshine and a German movie The Lives of Others respectively.
Chalamet should get the Oscar for Lead Actor because the Academy criminally robbed Michael, Armie or Luca of nominations for CMBYN. And if all the acting categories remain uncompetitive (as your post postulates) there is no need to watch the broadcast.
conn1239 its not a horror movie, it's a thriller, so many people are miscategorizing it. It holds few actual horror elements. Just like how Oculus and Cloverfield are thrillers
Coletrain Hetrick True I do agree that until the final 30 mins the film is more of a straight up thriller, but even then it’s still good to see that they are not discounting a film many class to be a horror
conn1239 I think a lot of it has to do with the conventions of horror films, especially in modern times, Get Out for sure has commentary on the horror genre and how they have terribly written characters doing illogical and stupid things. You have films like John Carpenters The Thing, Jaws, and the Excorsist getting academy award nominations because of this fact. In other words, most horror movies are not trying to be quality films, other than Don't Breathe and Hush as more recent examples they lack the ability to become complex and meaningful films despite rotting for the character to not die.
People who are saying that Get Out was nominated in major categories simply for political and diversity reasons to appease a SJW agenda are talking out of their asses. The film has a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes and was a huge box office hit. The film was also a cultural phenomenon and has already entered the pop-culture lexicon. I hear people reference it all the time: "sunken place," "get out," etc. Also, it's one of those rare horror films that appealed to a lot of people who aren't really into the genre. It will be remembered as a landmark horror film alongside films like Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist. Get Out managed to be both a thoroughly entertaining horror film and biting social commentary. It definitely earned those Oscar nods.
beselbic It proves that people are becoming more just as bad as SJW themselves. As soon as there is a strong female character, or a black person in a movie or game it's political correct for people.
beselbic I do agree some people get their panties in a twist about this movie being political and whatever but come on, it is in no way an amazing horror film. For one it's hardly a horror film at all and tbh there is nothing special about it. It was a fun and pretty good movie with some smart little bits here and there but it wasn't anything great and it's been overhyped to hell.
I Really wanted James McAvoy to be nominated for his performance in Split, It was soooo impressive but i Kinda expected that he wouldn't get the nomination
Me too! The movie was released too early last year, everyone kind of forgot about his performance. If Split was released later in the year, he probably would have gotten nominated.
If I had my way: Best picture- call me by your name Best actor- Timothée Best actress- Frances McDormand Supporting actor- Sam Rockwell Supporting actress- Allison Janney I also think the biggest snub was Brooklynn prince! Who cares about Franco, a decent impression doesn’t deserve an Oscar nom
"When Mexico sends its people they're not sending their best". LET'S SEE... 2014 ALFONSO CUARON: Best Director, Best Film Editing. EMMANUEL LUBEZKI: Best Photography. LUPITA NYONG'O: Best Supporting Actress. 2015 ALEJANDRO GONZÁLEZ IÑARRITU: Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture. EMMANUEL LUBEZKI: Best Photography. 2016ALEJANDRO GONZÁLEZ IÑARRITU: Best Director. EMMANUEL LUBEZKI: Best Photography. 2017RODRIGO PRIETO: Best Photography. 2018 GUILLERMO DEL TORO: Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. COCO: Best Annimated Film.
James Franco deserved that snub? So you're telling me that anyone who wants to fuck up my careers or life can accuse me of something being truth or not and I'm done. Oscars are so political and there can be controversy but there is no proof. Of course Oldman most likely will win best actor but no one should be denied a nomination because it's depending in your merits as an actor not person. Plus like I said no proof only controversy.
Edwin Lopez: I am thinking people are still upset over Casey Affleck beating Denzel last year, even with his sexual harassment scandals...and Washington deserved the win.
Lead Actor: Gary Oldman for the win Lead Actress: Francis Mcdormand Supporting Actress: Allison Janney for the win. Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell for the win.
I'm going with: Lead Actor: Gary Oldman Lead Actress: Francis Mcdormand Supporting Actress: Allison Janney Supporting Actor: Willem Dafoe I don't know why, but I'm feeling the Academy might pull another "Training Day Scenario" this year, even though Rockwell is the absolute frontrunner.
WarriorShooter7 No Sam's gonna win the Oscar, not only does he deserve it more but he's on a roll (winning the Golden Globes, SAG etc. etc.) 2018 is his year. He's needed an Oscar ages now, most underrated actor ever.
Swap McDormand with Sally Hawkins and we're good, I don't think the academy will give her second Oscar's this year and Hawkins are far more superior and subtle in her performances
Best Picture : TBOEM or potential upset The Shape of Water Best Actor : Gary Oldman Best Actress : Sally Hawkins Best Supporting Actor : Sam Rockwell Best Supporting Actress : Allison Jenney Director : Guillermo del Torro Original Screenplay : TBOEM Adapted Screenplay : CMBYN
Borneo Coolpad Sally Hawkins?? Wow, i respect you for making that call 😂. I just think Frances Mcdormund is more relateable, because her character is more "human". She picked up the SAG award and thats normally an indication that she'll go on to get the Oscar. But if she doesnt win i wont be mad, cause in her last speech at the SAG Awards she said they should give it to younger actors. So i think Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie still have a chance??
Conor Eiffe first of all how many times that SAG proven wrong with the Academy, even if she got Clean swept Globes, Bafta and SAG there's still a chance she will not gonna win ( remember Russel Crowe) I just got feelings Sally girl will grab the Oscar
Borneo Coolpad If she does i wont be mad, i just think Mcdormands character is more relateable, not in the sense of her torching a police station, but in the way that she's fighting for answers and to catch the killer rapist. But again i could be wrong. Whoever wins deserves it, maybe not Meryl Streep
It's best performance of the year not just realatable performance that matter. Mcdormand still not locked yet, there may be surprises form Sally or Ronan perhaps
Borneo Coolpad Well Sally Hawkins wont win just because she doesnt speak. Theres obviously something deeper with her character, same with Mcdormand's character
Oscar Predictions Part One: Best Picture: The Shape Of Water or Ladybird Best Director: Guillermo Del Toro Best Actor: Gary Oldman Best Actress: Frances McDormand or Sally Hawkins Best Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell Best Supporting Actress: Allison Janney Best Original Screenplay: Shape of Water or Get Out Best Adapted Screenplay: Logan or The Disaster Artist Best Animated Film: Coco
Lead Actor: Gary Oldman Lead Actress: Frances Mcdormand Supporting Actress: Allison Janney Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell Director: Guillermo Del Toro Best picture: Three BIllboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri or The Shape Of Water
You have to get more serious, guys. You can't call yourselves movie experts and not know how many Oscars DDL has. At least check your facts before sitting on the sofa, you know who you will be talking about.
after watching Three Billboards, I am confused why Woody Harrelson and not Armie Hammer get the nomination!!! definite snub!!! And Luca Guadagnino BUT all the directors nominated deserved to be there. maybe they could have added more slots esp for Director to match number of Best Picture nominees
Jenny Amaya is so sad not to see Tommy make his dream come true, to go to the oscars. Can't people call out sexual harstment after they are done with everything, house cards ruined oscars ruined Master of none, probably ruined.
Please someone give Christopher Nolan an Oscar, that guy is a real genius. I appreciate the other movies, but c'mon they are way overrated. (specially ladybird)
Christopher plummer should not be nominated was a token nomination that meant a that more deserving actor was not nominated such as Patrick Stewart or Armie Hammer were snubbed. You guys don't know what you're talking about the only lock here is Gary Oldman for lead actor, which James Franco should have been nominated anyway.
Patrick Stewart didn’t deserve it. Armie Hammer, Michael Stuhlbarg could’ve been nominated for Shape of Water or CMBYN, Bill Skårsgard, and Barry Keoghan all had way better performances
Best Picture: Call Me By Your Name Best Director: Guillermo Del Toro Best Actor: Timothee Chalamet Best Actress: Saoirse Ronan Best Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell Best Supporting Actress: Laurie Metcalf Best Original Screenplay: Lady Bird Best Adapted Screenplay: Call Me By Your Name Best Animated Feature Film: Coco Best Cinematography: Blade Runner 2049 Best Production Design: The Shape of Water Best Film Editing: Dunkirk Best Make Up and Hairstyling: Darkest Hour Best Costume Design: Phantom Thread Best Original Song: "Mystery of Love" by Sufjan Stevens (Call Me By Your Name) Best Sound Mixing: Baby Driver Best Sound Editing: Baby Driver Best Visual Effects: War of the Planet of the Apes Best Original Score: Dunkirk Best Documentary Feature: Faces Place Best Foreign Language Film: The Square Best Animated Short: Negative Space Best Documentary Short: Herion(e) Best Live Action Short: The Silent Child
Best Picture- Three Billboards Best Director- Del Toro Best actor- Gary Oldman Best actress- Frances Mcdormand Best Adapted Screenplay- Call me by your name Animation- Coco Best Original Score- Alexandre Desplat The Shape of Water Production Design- The shape of water Cinematography- Blade Runner Best Visual Effects- Blade Runner Best editing- Dunkirk The rest of the nominations I have not seen all the nominees so I wouldnt know which one deserves it.
Best Costume Design: The Shape of Water Best Production Design: The Shape of Water Makeup and Hair: Darkest Hour Best Sound Mixing: Baby Driver Best Sound Editing: Baby Driver Best Visual Effects: Blade Runner: 2049 Best Cinematography: Blade Runner: 2049 Best Film Editing: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Best Original Song: "Remember Me," Coco Best Original Score: The Shape of Water Best Animated Short: Dear Basketball Best Animated Feature: Coco Best Adapted Screenplay: Call Me By Your Name Best Original Screenplay: Get Out Best Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell Best Supporting Actress: Laurie Metcalf Best Actor: Gary Oldman Best Actress: Sally Hawkins Best Director: Guillermo Del Toro Best Picture: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri I haven't seen any documentaries or foreign films this year so I can't comment on those categories.
dream winners: chalamet for best actor janney for supporting actress. rockwell for supporting actor. (but this should be Hammer) mcdormand or Hawkins for best actress del toro for best director call me by your name for best picture WISHFUL THINKING!
Biggest snubs was The Florida Project only got one nomination which is well deserved for Willem Dafoe but nothing for Best Picture, Best Actress for Brooklynn Prince for Best Actress one of my favourite performance of the year and finally Sean Baker for Best Director 😐😑😔
Darkest Hour" is so refreshing! No profanity, no violence, and no stupid sex scenes. Last night, I saw Billboards and despised it. Because profanity and violence occupy so many movies, I am generally not a movie fan. However, I loved "Darkest Hour" - a great movie! "Darkest Hour" builds and builds to a climatic ending! I hope it wins best picture at the Oscars!
Video recap - “This year’s awards are up in the air”...”Everything is in the bag.” 🤔 Also. I learned that Christopher Nolan’s “time is dwindling” even though this was his first directing nomination ever. Someone should tell him that so he doesn’t try anymore. I love WatchMojo...but this was rough.
Actually a movie like Logan getting nominated for a major category proves nothing but how the Adapted screenplay category is so weak and how Call Me By Your Name got it in the bag so easily. On the other hand the Original screenplay is really toughed as it is filled with great movies.
Baha'adeen Al-ees you’re so funny. The movie had no heart and I didn’t care about any of the characters. Its the opposite of Saving Private Ryan. Beautiful movie but it’s overrated and messy. Nolan’s films from the Dark Knight Rises on have all been lack luster at best.
Aleksandra I hear ya, as there is a buzz and even re-evaluation around anything that receives so many noms. My comment speaks to the timeless message that those in the shadows of society really do have value. Del Toro presented Hawkins/Jenkins/Spencer’s portrayals as three sides of the same “character.” Themes like that, along with miraculously pulling off a production of this quality for under 20 $million make Del Toro a worthy recipient of the praise he has been receiving.
Shape of Water was actually the biggest disappointment for me among all the Oscar contenders of this year. When you have a plot that is not very believable and kind of fairy tale like, you kind of have to give in and throw yourself into the movie and just go with it and that's what I did. The problem was the director didn't go out of his way to make the little details real or believable for me at all! Some of the characters especially the villains, were so over the top and contrived for me. He made them so hatable it felt very forced. There were so many plot holes, like how Eliza wasn't detected by the cameras during her first few visits in that merman room and only became concerned with the cameras in the end, or when the merman escapes and ends up in the movie theater which conveniently was totally empty and in the process leaving bloody handprints all over without one single person seeing him, or when they were making love in the bathroom and a few towels were strong enough to hold all the water until it filled up the entire bathroom. I felt like some of these scenes were kind of insulting to my intelligence. Too much overacting from the main bad guy and that sex scene was so unnecessary and also that stupid Russian side plot was also quite boring and unnecessary. Octavia Spencer and Richard Jenkings, who are both very fine actors, do not deserve to be nominated because their characters were quite bland and not at all difficult to play. Overall the characters and the tone of the movie were just too cheesy for me and felt almost like a pale imitation of Amelie (with a merman). Again I thought the premise was quite interesting, just wish the director executed it better.
I appreciate the thoughtful response, Stu. When The Shape of Water played at TIFF, the audience was floored, as it hit on an emotional level - yet, like best pic Argo (which had substantial modifications from an original story) suspended disbelief is required. Many critics of film see it this way: There is an appreciation for the way it is a film about love, but also is an ode to old time cinema in style, content and even technique. As one example, the "underwater" scenes were NOT underwater. In addition to it being what Del Toro calls a "fairytale for troubled times," he also notes how this simple story also has a universal message of love over rage (ironic, in light of its top competition currently being Three Billboards). More specifically, he chose 1962 because this is the time in which America started defining its myth of greatness. This is the last year of this idealistic fairytale time in concept, as shortly thereafter Kennedy is shot and Vietnam escalates. But it’s an illusion…if you are a member of certain societal segments 1962 is really hard. The film does not just speak of tolerance and solidarity, but it gives voice, literally, to voiceless characters. A group of invisible people rescue the ultimate outsider. They find the beautiful, the divine and also love in “the other.” Not your cup of tea (at least on first watch), but just some food for thought as to why so many love it. I've seen many films this year, and have placed it behind only Blade Runner 2049. As for the numerous nominations, I did predict these based on merit of individual components: Desplat's score, the rather stunning cinematography and production design on a dime budget, some pretty remarkable performances (and it is noteworthy that Shannon's PURPOSEFULLY 2-dimensional character did not get a nom, as he did in the brilliant Nocturnal Animals from last year), of course GDT as diirector for pulling the whole thing together.
You lost me at three minutes with the, "he deserved that snub." He was arguably the second best performance of the year. He deserved a nomination, even if you are not his biggest fan. This was a competition for an actor's best acting performance, not who has the least amount of controversy around them. Give credit where credit is due, even to the unlikeable people. Your views on an individual do not affect their ability to act. Have an objective view for once, Academy!
Don’t care about other nominees or categories. I just know that Gary Oldman MUST win as best actor in a leading role. Gary has given phenomenal performances throughout his career. He deserves it.
What exactly is so amazing about being able to communicate emotion without words? This is how deaf people experience the complexity of emotions in their everyday lives. As humans we all experience and express emotion beyond speech. In the performing arts, dancers convey speechless emotion all the time. In film, past the silent movie era, we've had 2 actors win in a leading role who did not utter a single word in their films: Jean Dujardin for The Artist (2012 Oscars) and Holly Hunter for The Piano (1994 Oscars). I believe Sally Hawkins in The Shape of Water gave an amazing performance, but not because of her lack of words. To quote Sally's character Elisa: "When he looks at me, he does not know - how - I am incomplete. He sees me... as I am".
So happy to see all the nominations for Guillermo del Toro . He finally gets these nominations and in my opinion it's not even my favorite movie of his! Everything he does is great though
Dylan Farrow should have gotten an Oscar nomination! (Best Supporting actress in a Drama -the Oscar for Best Actress in this Drama should go to Mia Farrow)
I've never forgotten that Gregory Peck won the Best Actor Oscar for TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. It was an outstanding performance and it was Time for him to win. But I've never forgotten who else was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar that year--Peter O'Toole for LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. This was a brilliant performance, in my view the best by an actor that year, and at least the movie received the Best Picture Oscar. Years later, though, when O'Toole received an honorary Oscar for his body of work, the theme music played for his appearance on stage was the title theme from LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Now, as for Gary Oldman, it's Time for him to win, but that's not why he should. He should win because his performance is brilliant, in my view the best by an actor this year.
Best Picture Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Best Actor Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour) Best Actress Frances McDormand (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) Best Supporting Actor Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) Best Supporting Actress Allison Janey (I, Tonya) Best Director Guillermo Del Toro (The Shape of Water) Best Original Screenplay Lady Bird Best Adapted Screenplay Call Me By Your Name Best Cinematography Dunkirk Best Costume Design Phantom Thread Best Film Editing Dunkirk Best Makeup & Hairstyling Darkest Hour Best Production Design Beauty and the Beast Best Original Score The Shape of Water Best Original Song "This Is Me" (The Greatest Showman) Best Sound Editing Dunkirk Best Sound Mixing Dunkirk Best Visual Effects Blade Runner 2049 Best Animated Feature Coco
Nolan deserves Best Director. As much as i hated Dunkirk, its a technical masterpiece. What he did to bring that movie to life, all real, no visual effects. Its a real experience.... in the cinema. Other than that i didnt like it. I would only watch it once and thats it
The Last Jedi deserved a Best Picture nomination, because it's about the following . . 1) Absence attacking itself, so that it can give itself a location 2) God dying outside of their body, so that magic can be shared inside reality 3) Safety destroying danger, so that safety can be exposed as the true source of danger 4) Safety protecting magic, despite magic being the ability to protect 5) Nothing outside the universe having the ability to see 6) Violence wanting to meet itself, so that the opposite of violence can meet the original disconnection of reality
Thomas H Cullen Its funny. One of the morals of the movie is "in order to defeat the enemy, save the ones you love". And what the Resistances' first decision?? Take out the Dreadnought. Talk about inconsistency. Not to mention the plotholes. I think the 10th spot for Best Picture could have been Planet of the Apes, Blade Runner or Baby Driver
Meryl Streep is given pictures over other equally talented actresses so she has more than a better chance to be nominated. And she is constantly campaigning for more Oscars. You can count on her using every trick in the book around Oscar time, especially. This year, she knocked out Judi Dench for the 5th slot. The more research you do, you'll find out more of what the Oscars are. And to think some actors would practically sell their souls for this hardware. Many great actors have never even been nominated for many reasons! Think of one? I can think of many,! Just one: Robert Walker, in "Strangers on a Train".
15:20 - I don't agree that Nolan's time has come, I believe he's barely hit his peak and he fully deserves to win best Director. He made the most unique film of the year
‘Isn’t it sad that my favourite potential sexual abuser isn’t nominated for this little golden statue. now I will say some sexist comments about a woman sharing her opinion.’ Said half of the commenters on this video. ‘Grow up snowflake’ I respond ‘does it upset you that someone shares an opinion?’
That is usually the case, but Disaster Artist received much more recognition at the golden globes than at the oscars. Whereas Get Out has been nominated for much more at the Oscars, and was overlooked during the golden globes
It would be really sad if James is actually innocent and still got snubbed But looking back at his history I won’t be surprised if the accusations are true , it’s disheartening
I think the acting categories was quite weak this year I mean Sam Rockwell was great but not close to recent winners like J.K Simmons, Christoph Waltz, Heath Ledger and Christian Bale
Conor Eiffe Yea he deserves the Oscar but when I saw the movie (and I loved it) I wasnt like ”Oh god Sam Rockwell” if anyone it was Francis’s performance who really stood out
Why does nobody talk about the killing of a sacred deer not being nominated even once. That movie was such a great take on a Greek tragedy with beautifull music, great acting, compelling shots and a great script.
AND I THOUGHT Awards are for the best. And you people are talking about age, retirement and max wins allowed, that's why best never wins but ✌deserving✌wins 😒😕😵😰 And all the world keeps talking about LET ALL BE EQUAL, but when it comes to awards we give separate ones for man and woman.🤔😓😨😰🙌
Winners: Jordan peele, best director Saoirse, best actress Gary, best actor The Shape of water, best movie. There, now everyone is happy no race or sex got left out. blacks whites and mexicans win.
I walked out of "Lsdy Bird"! Tried my best to stick with it, but too much wrong with this movie, so I left. This movie is by far, the most overrated one of the year!
Where was Michelle William's role for All the Money??!! But Chris Plummer got a nod and he just threw out a performance? It felt like it was a nom out of respect. Idk if Francis will get it however since they will be factoring in "Is this the role that she deserves a second oscar for" since she won for Fargo. Sally Hawkins I believe has the highest chances of being the long shot winner if they go that route this year based off of what I've seen how Shape of Water is being positioned this year but Margot Robbie is a longshot also since they may do a LeoD and wait/expect for her to turn in more oscar nom performances so they wont give it to her yet but she gave the most demanding well rounded and gritty-one that may be hard for her to even top unless its a repeat of the same personality type so it actually makes sense to give it to her since she was the best actress-esp as a reflection of her career. But I'm already wrong bc I thought Michelle Williams would get both nominated and probably win. She had a great accent and was incredibly engaging but she didnt even get a nom. I didnt think Chastain would get nominated for Mollys Game tho cos much like Miss Sloan it wasn't an Oscar film. Tom Hanks did a great job many wont recognize because they dont know who Ben Braddock of the Washington Post is, whom Hanks fully conjured and embodied.. Im not a huge Hanks fan and usually can only see himself in his roles but I loved him in The Post and from a technical perspective totally guarantee him a nomination so totally surprised..

Christopher Nolen SHOULD WIN period he has been SNUBBED enough
@WatchMojo.com GTD hasn't won for Best Director. He was nominated for Pan's Labyrinth on categories - Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Picture and lost to Michael Adamt, Little Miss Sunshine and a German movie The Lives of Others respectively.
Chalamet should get the Oscar for Lead Actor because the Academy criminally robbed Michael, Armie or Luca of nominations for CMBYN. And if all the acting categories remain uncompetitive (as your post postulates) there is no need to watch the broadcast.
I’m so glad that not only ‘get out’ got nominated for an Oscar but the fact that they are finally taking a horror as a genre seriously!
muh white guilt
conn1239 well the silence of the lambs sweep in 91 so, horror was a respected... So it's not about respect. Its about horror movies being awful
conn1239 its not a horror movie, it's a thriller, so many people are miscategorizing it. It holds few actual horror elements. Just like how Oculus and Cloverfield are thrillers
Coletrain Hetrick True I do agree that until the final 30 mins the film is more of a straight up thriller, but even then it’s still good to see that they are not discounting a film many class to be a horror

beselbic 👏👏👏👏
beselbic It proves that people are becoming more just as bad as SJW themselves. As soon as there is a strong female character, or a black person in a movie or game it's political correct for people.
Jason back-- Exactly.
beselbic I do agree some people get their panties in a twist about this movie being political and whatever but come on, it is in no way an amazing horror film. For one it's hardly a horror film at all and tbh there is nothing special about it. It was a fun and pretty good movie with some smart little bits here and there but it wasn't anything great and it's been overhyped to hell.

Me too! The movie was released too early last year, everyone kind of forgot about his performance. If Split was released later in the year, he probably would have gotten nominated.
No, Guillermo del Toro has never won an Oscar. He was nominated for best foreign language film and best screenplay for Pan's Labyrinth
SUFJAN STEVENS GOT A NOMINATION AAAAAAAA YESSSS
Easily the best original song in many years! His 2 other songs in the movie are just as great!
Runate Voxer
Right? Visions of Gideon is great too.
Ikr!!! If he doesnt win im gonna cry
If I had my way:
Best picture- call me by your name
Best actor- Timothée
Best actress- Frances McDormand
Supporting actor- Sam Rockwell
Supporting actress- Allison Janney
I also think the biggest snub was Brooklynn prince! Who cares about Franco, a decent impression doesn’t deserve an Oscar nom
I like how Jordan Peele went from funny comedian to super serious director.
It sucks that James Franco got snubbed over something that possibly isn't true.. and then people go with it as if it is true...
ikr
Blade Runner 2049 deserves nominations for best sound design, best director, and best picture
awkward activated my favorite movie of 2017. I’ll be very surprised if it doesn’t win cinematography though. It was beautiful ❤️
There's no such thing as "sound design", but it was nominated in both sound editing and sound mixing.
As much as I would like for Christopher Nolan to win Best Director and Best Picture, I highly doubt that’s happening.
A horror film released early in the year did win once. Then again, Silence of the Lambs was a once-in-a-generation achievement.
Disaster artist as a movie deserves a lot more as it stands as a work of art; taking away the controversy
"When Mexico sends its people they're not sending their best". LET'S SEE...
2014 ALFONSO CUARON: Best Director, Best Film Editing. EMMANUEL LUBEZKI: Best Photography. LUPITA NYONG'O: Best Supporting Actress.
2015 ALEJANDRO GONZÁLEZ IÑARRITU: Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture. EMMANUEL LUBEZKI: Best Photography.
2016ALEJANDRO GONZÁLEZ IÑARRITU: Best Director. EMMANUEL LUBEZKI: Best Photography.
2017RODRIGO PRIETO: Best Photography.
2018 GUILLERMO DEL TORO: Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. COCO: Best Annimated Film.
Martincito ,👏👏👏👏👏
James Franco deserved that snub? So you're telling me that anyone who wants to fuck up my careers or life can accuse me of something being truth or not and I'm done. Oscars are so political and there can be controversy but there is no proof. Of course Oldman most likely will win best actor but no one should be denied a nomination because it's depending in your merits as an actor not person. Plus like I said no proof only controversy.
Edwin Lopez: I am thinking people are still upset over Casey Affleck beating Denzel last year, even with his sexual harassment scandals...and Washington deserved the win.
Lead Actor: Gary Oldman for the win
Lead Actress: Francis Mcdormand
Supporting Actress: Allison Janney for the win.
Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell for the win.
I'm going with:
Lead Actor: Gary Oldman
Lead Actress: Francis Mcdormand
Supporting Actress: Allison Janney
Supporting Actor: Willem Dafoe
I don't know why, but I'm feeling the Academy might pull another "Training Day Scenario" this year, even though Rockwell is the absolute frontrunner.
WarriorShooter7 No Sam's gonna win the Oscar, not only does he deserve it more but he's on a roll (winning the Golden Globes, SAG etc. etc.) 2018 is his year. He's needed an Oscar ages now, most underrated actor ever.
Raghu Seetharaman McDormand for the lose?
Swap McDormand with Sally Hawkins and we're good, I don't think the academy will give her second Oscar's this year and Hawkins are far more superior and subtle in her performances
LAURIE METCALF FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
I like how you guys say it's a "tighter race" this year, yet every winner you pick, which happens to regurgitate the Golden Globes, is a lock.
Best Picture : TBOEM or potential upset The Shape of Water
Best Actor : Gary Oldman
Best Actress : Sally Hawkins
Best Supporting Actor : Sam Rockwell
Best Supporting Actress : Allison Jenney
Director : Guillermo del Torro
Original Screenplay : TBOEM
Adapted Screenplay : CMBYN
Borneo Coolpad Sally Hawkins?? Wow, i respect you for making that call 😂. I just think Frances Mcdormund is more relateable, because her character is more "human". She picked up the SAG award and thats normally an indication that she'll go on to get the Oscar. But if she doesnt win i wont be mad, cause in her last speech at the SAG Awards she said they should give it to younger actors. So i think Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie still have a chance??
Conor Eiffe first of all how many times that SAG proven wrong with the Academy, even if she got Clean swept Globes, Bafta and SAG there's still a chance she will not gonna win ( remember Russel Crowe) I just got feelings Sally girl will grab the Oscar
Borneo Coolpad If she does i wont be mad, i just think Mcdormands character is more relateable, not in the sense of her torching a police station, but in the way that she's fighting for answers and to catch the killer rapist. But again i could be wrong. Whoever wins deserves it, maybe not Meryl Streep
It's best performance of the year not just realatable performance that matter. Mcdormand still not locked yet, there may be surprises form Sally or Ronan perhaps
Borneo Coolpad
Well Sally Hawkins wont win just because she doesnt speak. Theres obviously something deeper with her character, same with Mcdormand's character
Gary Oldman is SO unrecognizable in Darkest Hour

You have to get more serious, guys. You can't call yourselves movie experts and not know how many Oscars DDL has. At least check your facts before sitting on the sofa, you know who you will be talking about.
after watching Three Billboards, I am confused why Woody Harrelson and not Armie Hammer get the nomination!!! definite snub!!! And Luca Guadagnino BUT all the directors nominated deserved to be there. maybe they could have added more slots esp for Director to match number of Best Picture nominees
Timothee Chalamet for best actor!
James Franco did deserve that nomination idc that was a snub a snub!!!
Jenny Amaya is so sad not to see Tommy make his dream come true, to go to the oscars. Can't people call out sexual harstment after they are done with everything, house cards ruined oscars ruined Master of none, probably ruined.
Please someone give Christopher Nolan an Oscar, that guy is a real genius. I appreciate the other movies, but c'mon they are way overrated. (specially ladybird)
I hope Gary Oldman and Frances MacDormand win the Oscar for Best Performance. They are both brilliant actors.
YTfancol Ditto
If I hear her pronounce "Shalomayyyy" one more time...
I literally said ew out loud!!
James Franco got robbed. He's innocent too.
Didn't even talk about Willem Dafoe, smh
Christopher plummer should not be nominated was a token nomination that meant a that more deserving actor was not nominated such as Patrick Stewart or Armie Hammer were snubbed. You guys don't know what you're talking about the only lock here is Gary Oldman for lead actor, which James Franco should have been nominated anyway.
Andy Fox Gary Oldman has been a great actor for decades and deserves an oscar for his career if nothing else
Yes James Franco should have been nominated. But Chrisopher Plummer deserved it too. His performance is very great.
Patrick Stewart didn’t deserve it. Armie Hammer, Michael Stuhlbarg could’ve been nominated for Shape of Water or CMBYN, Bill Skårsgard, and Barry Keoghan all had way better performances

WISHFUL THINKING!
Biggest snubs was The Florida Project only got one nomination which is well deserved for Willem Dafoe but nothing for Best Picture, Best Actress for Brooklynn Prince for Best Actress one of my favourite performance of the year and finally Sean Baker for Best Director 😐😑😔
Darkest Hour" is so refreshing! No profanity, no violence, and no stupid sex scenes. Last night, I saw Billboards and despised it. Because profanity and violence occupy so many movies, I am generally not a movie fan. However, I loved "Darkest Hour" - a great movie! "Darkest Hour" builds and builds to a climatic ending! I hope it wins best picture at the Oscars!
Video recap - “This year’s awards are up in the air”...”Everything is in the bag.” 🤔
Also. I learned that Christopher Nolan’s “time is dwindling” even though this was his first directing nomination ever. Someone should tell him that so he doesn’t try anymore.
I love WatchMojo...but this was rough.
I thought Dunkirk was amazing.
I really hope logan wins best adapted screenplay, as well as Jordan peele for best director
I want The Disaster Artist to win adapted Screenplay. I want Christopher Nolan, Greta Gerwig, or Del Toro for best Director
Zach Maxfield yes...Logan should win
Actually a movie like Logan getting nominated for a major category proves nothing but how the Adapted screenplay category is so weak and how Call Me By Your Name got it in the bag so easily. On the other hand the Original screenplay is really toughed as it is filled with great movies.
CMBYN will win adapted screenplay easily this year, Logan got nominated because it was such weak years
Del toro deserves it more than Jordan Peele del toro has shown he deserves it Peele has more to prove imo
No this stupid Christopher Nolen SHOULD WIN period, he has been SNUBBED enough
Baha'adeen Al-ees no he shouldn’t Dunkirk was sloppy and lacked heart
J Switch this year's oscar for stupidest comment winner is...
Excuse me, but Dunkirk was great.
Baha'adeen Al-ees you’re so funny. The movie had no heart and I didn’t care about any of the characters. Its the opposite of Saving Private Ryan. Beautiful movie but it’s overrated and messy. Nolan’s films from the Dark Knight Rises on have all been lack luster at best.
Julie Fandel *Overrated
The Shape of Water is great on so many levels. The Academy would do well to honor what imo will become a timeless classic.
rhythmoriented In my opinion, it is just hyped right now, it will be soon forgotten, the story and the characters are not relatable enough.
Aleksandra I hear ya, as there is a buzz and even re-evaluation around anything that receives so many noms. My comment speaks to the timeless message that those in the shadows of society really do have value. Del Toro presented Hawkins/Jenkins/Spencer’s portrayals as three sides of the same “character.” Themes like that, along with miraculously pulling off a production of this quality for under 20 $million make Del Toro a worthy recipient of the praise he has been receiving.
Shape of Water was actually the biggest disappointment for me among all the Oscar contenders of this year. When you have a plot that is not very believable and kind of fairy tale like, you kind of have to give in and throw yourself into the movie and just go with it and that's what I did. The problem was the director didn't go out of his way to make the little details real or believable for me at all! Some of the characters especially the villains, were so over the top and contrived for me. He made them so hatable it felt very forced. There were so many plot holes, like how Eliza wasn't detected by the cameras during her first few visits in that merman room and only became concerned with the cameras in the end, or when the merman escapes and ends up in the movie theater which conveniently was totally empty and in the process leaving bloody handprints all over without one single person seeing him, or when they were making love in the bathroom and a few towels were strong enough to hold all the water until it filled up the entire bathroom. I felt like some of these scenes were kind of insulting to my intelligence. Too much overacting from the main bad guy and that sex scene was so unnecessary and also that stupid Russian side plot was also quite boring and unnecessary. Octavia Spencer and Richard Jenkings, who are both very fine actors, do not deserve to be nominated because their characters were quite bland and not at all difficult to play. Overall the characters and the tone of the movie were just too cheesy for me and felt almost like a pale imitation of Amelie (with a merman). Again I thought the premise was quite interesting, just wish the director executed it better.
I appreciate the thoughtful response, Stu. When The Shape of Water played at TIFF, the audience was floored, as it hit on an emotional level - yet, like best pic Argo (which had substantial modifications from an original story) suspended disbelief is required. Many critics of film see it this way:
There is an appreciation for the way it is a film about love, but also is an ode to old time cinema in style, content and even technique. As one example, the "underwater" scenes were NOT underwater.
In addition to it being what Del Toro calls a "fairytale for troubled times," he also notes how this simple story also has a universal message of love over rage (ironic, in light of its top competition currently being Three Billboards).
More specifically, he chose 1962 because this is the time in which America started defining its myth of greatness. This is the last year of this idealistic fairytale time in concept, as shortly thereafter Kennedy is shot and Vietnam escalates. But it’s an illusion…if you are a member of certain societal segments 1962 is really hard. The film does not just speak of tolerance and solidarity, but it gives voice, literally, to voiceless characters. A group of invisible people rescue the ultimate outsider. They find the beautiful, the divine and also love in “the other.” Not your cup of tea (at least on first watch), but just some food for thought as to why so many love it. I've seen many films this year, and have placed it behind only Blade Runner 2049.
As for the numerous nominations, I did predict these based on merit of individual components: Desplat's score, the rather stunning cinematography and production design on a dime budget, some pretty remarkable performances (and it is noteworthy that Shannon's PURPOSEFULLY 2-dimensional character did not get a nom, as he did in the brilliant Nocturnal Animals from last year), of course GDT as diirector for pulling the whole thing together.
Happy Anniversary, Phoebe! 🇨🇦
You lost me at three minutes with the, "he deserved that snub." He was arguably the second best performance of the year. He deserved a nomination, even if you are not his biggest fan. This was a competition for an actor's best acting performance, not who has the least amount of controversy around them. Give credit where credit is due, even to the unlikeable people. Your views on an individual do not affect their ability to act. Have an objective view for once, Academy!
i lv this segment Mojo @ the Movies and do some more segments of these like best movies of each month rather than year and tv shows too
Don’t care about other nominees or categories. I just know that Gary Oldman MUST win as best actor in a leading role. Gary has given phenomenal performances throughout his career. He deserves it.
I am torn between Oldman winning his first and Daniel Day Lewis winning his fourth.
What exactly is so amazing about being able to communicate emotion without words? This is how deaf people experience the complexity of emotions in their everyday lives. As humans we all experience and express emotion beyond speech. In the performing arts, dancers convey speechless emotion all the time. In film, past the silent movie era, we've had 2 actors win in a leading role who did not utter a single word in their films: Jean Dujardin for The Artist (2012 Oscars) and Holly Hunter for The Piano (1994 Oscars).
I believe Sally Hawkins in The Shape of Water gave an amazing performance, but not because of her lack of words. To quote Sally's character Elisa: "When he looks at me, he does not know - how - I am incomplete. He sees me... as I am".
Poor Christopher Nolan , he seriously needs a win
SALLY HAWKINS
Ppl are trippin over the nominations. James Franco wasnt getting nominated either way. Fans are making up excuses with that controversy.
It sucks donkey balls that Franco was snubbed but can we all just celebrate that Logan was nominated for at least one SERIOUS category?
So happy to see all the nominations for Guillermo del Toro . He finally gets these nominations and in my opinion it's not even my favorite movie of his! Everything he does is great though
Uhm, mojo, a woman by the name of katharine hepburn was the first person to get 4 oscars
Do a part 2 on the other categories
CMBYN❤
Dylan Farrow should have gotten an Oscar nomination! (Best Supporting actress in a Drama -the Oscar for Best Actress in this Drama should go to Mia Farrow)
Can't believe they didn't mention Logan being the first live action superhero movie nominated for screenplay
Any Sweet Tea fans here?
I've never forgotten that Gregory Peck won the Best Actor Oscar for TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. It was an outstanding performance and it was Time for him to win. But I've never forgotten who else was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar that year--Peter O'Toole for LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. This was a brilliant performance, in my view the best by an actor that year, and at least the movie received the Best Picture Oscar. Years later, though, when O'Toole received an honorary Oscar for his body of work, the theme music played for his appearance on stage was the title theme from LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Now, as for Gary Oldman, it's Time for him to win, but that's not why he should. He should win because his performance is brilliant, in my view the best by an actor this year.
Why didn't they even talk about Mary J. Blige for "Mudbound"? Did they even see it?!

I, Tonya wasn’t nominated for best picture???? By far my favorite movie of the year
Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart needed nominations.
Nolan deserves Best Director. As much as i hated Dunkirk, its a technical masterpiece. What he did to bring that movie to life, all real, no visual effects. Its a real experience.... in the cinema. Other than that i didnt like it. I would only watch it once and thats it
The Last Jedi deserved a Best Picture nomination, because it's about the following . .
1) Absence attacking itself, so that it can give itself a location
2) God dying outside of their body, so that magic can be shared inside reality
3) Safety destroying danger, so that safety can be exposed as the true source of danger
4) Safety protecting magic, despite magic being the ability to protect
5) Nothing outside the universe having the ability to see
6) Violence wanting to meet itself, so that the opposite of violence can meet the original disconnection of reality
Thomas H Cullen Its funny. One of the morals of the movie is "in order to defeat the enemy, save the ones you love". And what the Resistances' first decision?? Take out the Dreadnought. Talk about inconsistency. Not to mention the plotholes. I think the 10th spot for Best Picture could have been Planet of the Apes, Blade Runner or Baby Driver
Poe's decision, which was then attacked by Leia. So no inconsistency
I do sorta want Daniel Day Lewis to win but Gary Old man knocked it outta the park
Dunkirk is way underrated .
It's among the best war movies ever made.
Meryl Streep is given pictures over other equally talented actresses so she has more than a better chance to be nominated. And she is constantly campaigning for more Oscars. You can count on her using every trick in the book around Oscar time, especially. This year, she knocked out Judi Dench for the 5th slot. The more research you do, you'll find out more of what the Oscars are. And to think some actors would practically sell their souls for this hardware. Many great actors have never even been nominated for many reasons! Think of one? I can think of many,! Just one: Robert Walker, in "Strangers on a Train".
15:20 - I don't agree that Nolan's time has come, I believe he's barely hit his peak and he fully deserves to win best Director. He made the most unique film of the year
‘Isn’t it sad that my favourite potential sexual abuser isn’t nominated for this little golden statue. now I will say some sexist comments about a woman sharing her opinion.’ Said half of the commenters on this video.
‘Grow up snowflake’ I respond ‘does it upset you that someone shares an opinion?’
Is it who ever won or been nominated in the Golden Globes are more likely to be nominated for a Oscar because it set up the way like that for years.
In the Fade won Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes but isn't even nominated for the Oscar.
That is usually the case, but Disaster Artist received much more recognition at the golden globes than at the oscars. Whereas Get Out has been nominated for much more at the Oscars, and was overlooked during the golden globes
Best picture: Dunkirk
why didn't you talk about the foreing picture category
Si no gana del Toro me mato :(
Ruth Tiene Hambre del toro merece el premio
These guys can't hold a candle to goldderby.com though
I have The Greatest Showman winning "Best Original score"! and possibly "Best costume design"
they BETTER win Best Original song!! why the F*ck aren't they nominated for original score???? but yet Last Jedi is? dafuq
Why would you prefer a new Director to win with their first film, over an established veteran. I find that comment frustrating.
Agree with Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Gary Oldman. I like Timothee to win the best actor in case Gary will not win. For a change😉
It would be really sad if James is actually innocent and still got snubbed
But looking back at his history I won’t be surprised if the accusations are true , it’s disheartening
I think the acting categories was quite weak this year I mean Sam Rockwell was great but not close to recent winners like J.K Simmons, Christoph Waltz, Heath Ledger and Christian Bale
I think Sam Rockwell is up there with them. Obviously at the bottom of the list but he definitely deserves the Oscar. He is very underrated.
Conor Eiffe Yea he deserves the Oscar but when I saw the movie (and I loved it) I wasnt like ”Oh god Sam Rockwell” if anyone it was Francis’s performance who really stood out
Why does nobody talk about the killing of a sacred deer not being nominated even once. That movie was such a great take on a Greek tragedy with beautifull music, great acting, compelling shots and a great script.
AND I THOUGHT Awards are for the best.
And you people are talking about age, retirement and max wins allowed, that's why best never wins but ✌deserving✌wins 😒😕😵😰
And all the world keeps talking about LET ALL BE EQUAL, but when it comes to awards we give separate ones for man and woman.🤔😓😨😰🙌
Winners:
Jordan peele, best director
Saoirse, best actress
Gary, best actor
The Shape of water, best movie. There,
now everyone is happy no race or sex got left out. blacks whites and mexicans win.
I think that Get Out will win for best original screenplay
The list for the 2015 films was perfect 100%. Every one of those films were great.
I only like DUNKIRK of these nominations!
"And the winner for Best Picture.....(opens the envelope)... ."Get Outt".....ooppss, my mistake, I mean "Three Billboards."
Katherine Hepburn has the most Oscars she has 4 wym Daniel Day Lewis will be the first??
It sucks i never got to see if James Franco could be nominated, i bet he would be out there instead of Denzel Washinton.
I walked out of "Lsdy Bird"! Tried my best to stick with it, but too much wrong with this movie, so I left.
This movie is by far, the most overrated one of the year!
"Lady Bird". typo.
Don't even know why Get Out was nominated. But hey, anything to cater to the oscarsowhite crowd...
You're feelings hurt?
Obvious Troll Cause it’s a great movie? Fuck you
I swear to god if the three billboards don’t win the best picture
I disagree, and think Plummer's performance was very very good, and surely nominee worthy! Otherwise, good talk guys
Who are these “critics” you have on couch? Yikes
Where was Michelle William's role for All the Money??!! But Chris Plummer got a nod and he just threw out a performance? It felt like it was a nom out of respect. Idk if Francis will get it however since they will be factoring in "Is this the role that she deserves a second oscar for" since she won for Fargo. Sally Hawkins I believe has the highest chances of being the long shot winner if they go that route this year based off of what I've seen how Shape of Water is being positioned this year but Margot Robbie is a longshot also since they may do a LeoD and wait/expect for her to turn in more oscar nom performances so they wont give it to her yet but she gave the most demanding well rounded and gritty-one that may be hard for her to even top unless its a repeat of the same personality type so it actually makes sense to give it to her since she was the best actress-esp as a reflection of her career. But I'm already wrong bc I thought Michelle Williams would get both nominated and probably win. She had a great accent and was incredibly engaging but she didnt even get a nom. I didnt think Chastain would get nominated for Mollys Game tho cos much like Miss Sloan it wasn't an Oscar film. Tom Hanks did a great job many wont recognize because they dont know who Ben Braddock of the Washington Post is, whom Hanks fully conjured and embodied.. Im not a huge Hanks fan and usually can only see himself in his roles but I loved him in The Post and from a technical perspective totally guarantee him a nomination so totally surprised..
If Saoirse wins she'll be the first Irish actress to win best Actress im pretty sure
What's the controversy about James Franco?
