KazumaKiryu 02/13/18 11:40:04 AM #1:	https://www.thedailybeast.com/confessions-of-an-oscar-voter-why-i-loved-three-billboards-and-dont-get-get-out Some highlights for me and I think this person is spot on... Lets talk about this years Best Picture category. What I was going to vote for was I, Tonya, but clearly that didnt make the list. So its pretty much a tie for me between Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and The Shape of Water. Three Billboards is a beautifully-crafted, excellently-written piece that has such extreme drama with comedy that its a perfect combination. I saw The Shape of Water for a second time and really appreciated not only the visuals and the story, but the actual fairy tale aspects of it. There were things I missed the first time where I thought the ending was a little strange, but on second viewing, it made a lot more sense and the whole thing was a fairy tale from beginning to end. Your thoughts on Daniel Day-Lewis swan song, Phantom Thread? I liked it, but its definitely something where the whole is a lot better than the sum of its parts. You had to sit through this excruciatingly slow film to appreciate the ending and find the film really good, while Three Billboards and The Shape of Water and most of the other nominees were enjoyable from beginning to end. I, Tonya is so underrated. --- Just your bad luck... to run into me. <cite>KazumaKiryu posted [p:896003026] in Confession...

Lorenzo_2003 02/13/18 12:10:42 PM #6:	I finally saw Dunkirk and I hope it doesnt win. I mean it was a solid film with some nice cinematography, but I dont think its on par with the other noms. Margot Robbie could win for I, Tonya. Probably Frances McDormand takes it, but it would be interesting to see Robbie go from Suicide Squad to Oscar winner. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:896004641] in Confession...

Wetterdew 02/13/18 12:34:21 PM #11:	Gary Oldman is pretty expected to win best actor, but I think that's mainly because of his legacy more than because of his performance in Darkest Hour, which is basically a vehicle for his Oscar.
