2018 Mofo Film Awards

Damn, I said Ethan Hawke, and so close too!

I'm surprised that Toni Collete won Best Actress. I voted for her, but expected Yalitza Aparicio or Olivia Colman to get it since those films were more popular.

My vote for best actor went to John David Washington. His performance was the only one of the nominations that really stood out to me, though I didn't actually see all of A Star is Born. The real best actor of the year was Nicholas Cage though.

Suspect's Reviews

I was actually surprised by the noms for Best Actor. Granted I haven't seen A Star is Born, and I do consider First Reformed and You Were Never Really Here as 2017 films, but Ben Foster and John David Washington were no where near my consideration, even though they did a good job in their respective films. As a matter of fact, I think my nominations for that category were Adriano Tardiolo for Happy as Lazzaro, Yoo Ah-in for Burning, Jim Cummings for Thunder Road, Joaquin Phoenix for The Sisters Brothers, and Giannis Drakopoulos for Pity.

I ended up voting for Ethan Hawke.

THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE SHIRT!

Also, from all of what I gathered, Alfonso Cuaron really deserves the title for best director, so I'm happy he got it here as well.

For director I said 'The Favourite', purely because you can see how much control and creativity Yorgos is putting into it.

I think Best Director was the only category where none of my favourites actually made the ballot. I voted for Alex Garland, though I didn't expect him to win.

Similarly, since the film that I actually thought was the worst of the year (Ready Player One) didn't get nominated, I settled for my second worst, The Cloverfield Paradox. I had nominated The Predator, but on retrospect I didn't think it was that bad. I'm not at all surprised that Bohemian Rhapsody won though, based on the backlash it received.

Alright, were we go lads!

I'll be happy if Infinite CGI Bull**** War doesn't win Best Film.

Yah thats alright

Yeah, not a lot of people are gonna be thrilled by Roma winning, but HELL YES does it deserve it! It got my vote obviously.
