Best Picture Oscar 2019

I just read through that reddit thread and apparently last year's acting winners won't be presenting awards this year.

The thought process confuses me more and more.

Cutting out the sound categories would be an atrocious act. Every role in filmmaking is important, but doing sound right is incredibly challenging - partly because people are far less forgiving of the audio than the visuals - and usually it's something that goes unnoticed by the audience.

I'd say Documentary, Documentary Short, Short Film (Live Action), Short Film (Animated) will be skipped, because quite frankly nobody gives a damn about those categories, and they are the categories that I get wrong every friggin' year. Can somebody tell me right here right now who will win in those categories?

I finally watched ROMA. What an overrated pile of garbage that was!


A STAR IS BORN better win this award. It is the only film that is truly truly worthy of BEST PICTURE.

The results on this poll are all over the place. No consensus at all. Only film without any votes so far is Vice.

"The affected categories are cinematography, film editing, live-action short and makeup and hairstyling."

Embarrassing. An insult to the medium.

They're cutting cinematography and editing? Out the technical categories I'd say they're the most important. Absolutely baffling.

Also they're cutting live-action short but the animated and documentary shorts are staying? WTF are they smoking?

I just voted for Roma, though BlacKkKlansman comes a close second. Everything else varies quite wildly.

Nah. It's one of the greatest films of the last 10 years.

What the hell are these people smoking? Without cinematography you have NO MOVIE!!!!

Fire these producers NOW!!! No host, embarrassing nominations, cutting out important awards? What a joke. I’ll probably skip this year....but still visit the chat.

I think it will be interesting to see without a host. There has to be something up their sleeves.

I am yet to see Roma. But from the others, hands down the Favortie by a country mile!

I've only seen these three (in order from best to worst): The Favorite, Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Panther. Will eventually watch at least BlacKkKlansman and Roma but not sure of the other three. Not going to vote yet.

The only movie i would have liked to see on the list would be Beautiful Boy or Eighth Grade and chuck Black Panther in the bin.


And I see, the Favorite at 11 votes, hope it wins. Apart from being great, the other aspect I liked about it was, its British! Love anything British!

I'd rank them (best to worst) Roma, BlacKkKlansman, Black Panther, The Favourite, A Star Is Born, Green Book, Vice, Bohemian Rhapsody.

For what it's worth Scarlet, you might be the only person I've come across saying it's the best film in the last decade. I didn't expect anyone to go that far with it.

It's certainly up there with the best.
