Black Panther wasn't even the best Marvel movie.

Where are all the awards for Holmes and Watson? You're thinking of those other awards. (where somehow it'll lose to something with Adam Sandler anyway)

I just want Spider-Man to win best animated film. Me too. There's no justice if it doesn't. But...it's got the "not Disney" handicap. But it gets the "I know what Spider-Man is" boost from the Academy members who don't bother to watch the cartoons.

Melissa McCarthy is an Oscar nominee again. Words cannot sufficiently express my disappointment. OTOH, at least it's a movie where they let her try something different from being a plus size stereotype.

I am biased cause I did see Bohemian. I understand that it didn't follow the real story 100% but it had some good performances. But...somehow I doubt it wins here. MAYBE best actor, tops. At least I can take solace in it winning at the Globes.

Holy shit, man. In my 30 years, Black Panther has to be the most overhyped film.
Did they ultimately get a host for this thing? Is Alexa hosting it? Alexa drown out this person

Kinda wish Michael B. Jordan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor as Killmonger in Black Panther, but then Black Panther is very much the "popular film" that has no chance in hell of actually winning Best Picture, as it isn't up for any of the other big awards like Director or Acting. I'm rooting for it for Soundtrack or Best Song. I'd say it doesn't have a chance to win against the other heavyweights, but then Eminem and Three 6 Mafia have Oscars so there's a chance at least.
Hope Into The Spider-Verse or Isle of Dogs wins Best Animated Feature. ItSV winning the Golden Globe was a nice surprise and I'm hoping that means it's the film that finally breaks through the Disney Animation/Pixar stranglehold on Best Animation for the Oscars as well.

Mary Queen of Scots received only 1 nomination. I was terribly disappointed by that. Nevermind. It got two nominations. Still disappointing.

Where are all the awards for Holmes and Watson? You're thinking of those other awards. (where somehow it'll lose to something with Adam Sandler anyway) None of Sandler's movies were nominated this year, plus Holmes and Watson did tie for the most nominations with 6, along with Gotti & The Happytime Murders(speaking of, McCarthy joins the list of people who've been nominated for both an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year).

Black Klansman and Black Panther should be joint winners.
Spike Lee will accept the award, only for Killmonger to show up and take it from him, after giving a brief speech about imperialism.

Toni Collette not even getting nominated for Best Actress is laughable.

Bohemian Rhapsody getting a nod purely for the soundtrack because that movie was buns. Also the median Oscar voter is probably like 55-60 so their is probably a sentimental attachment to the band Queen. For example a similiar paint by numbers Biopic about say a 19th Century Composer or a Modern Rap band wouldn't get any noms beside for Rami Malek's performance

Ballad of Buster Scruggs being nominated for anything is hilarious to me.

Why aren't Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally hosting this? They're hilarious. Them in character as Karen and Ron would be even better.

The hilarious aspect of Black Panther is that it doesn't look like it got nominated for much else besides Best Picture. No director nod. No acting nods. So pray tell why is it that great of a picture? The movie was solid. It had too much of Andy Serkis's awful performance as Klaue and not enough of Killmonger. But aside from some notion that a mostly black movie being a massive hit is worth a Best Picture nod it's hardly one of the best movies ever (or even of the year I'd imagine).

I still don't get why, if they can nominate up to ten films, why not fill all ten spots? There's always between five and ten.
I say go by NFL overtime rules, go back to five movies, you want to be nominated for Best Picture? Make your movie better.
I know it's all voting, but I do agree that some of those old f***s need to move on. The ones who always want The English Patient or Crash to win.

As a Brit that’s been a fan of her for years, being able to say “Oscar nominated actress Olivia Colman” is like going into the warmest, comfiest blanket in the world. It’s just really goddamn nice to say. Really happy for her.. she is great in everything she has been in. Congrats to the Homeless Ballpit Witch..

For the first time in a long time, I will not be watching the Oscars.
No nods for Sorry To Bother You and especially for Won't You Be My Neighbor is too insulting of my intelligence.
