WHAT WILL WIN? |
||||
|
It looks like a contest between Roma, which has the lead for director and most nominations and critical prizes, the populist appeal of A Star is Born (though that star seems to be fading) or the humor and road trip lightness of Green Book.
|
||||
| WHAT SHOULD WIN? | ||||
|
Yorgos Lanthimos' original, biting, hilarious, and surprising palace intrigue triangle The Favourite.
|
||||
| WHAT WAS LEFT OUT? | ||||
|
The nominations went as expected here but various pundits believed that either First Man, If Beale Street Could Talk, Cold War or A Quiet Place was right outside the list.

| 1. The Favourite near-masterpiece? 2. A Star is Born awesome movie-movie entertainment 3. Roma a work of personal art 4. BlacKkKlansman soulful, expertly honed provocations 5. Black Panther superhero fun and quality craftsmanship 6. Green Book very funny if problematic 7. Vice scattered laughs, messy provocations 8. Bohemian Rhapsody no comment |
DTF Amorous Intent |
1. Vice Starting endless war for power grabs and profit counts 2. BlacKkKlansman a few deaths, realistic assaults, threats 3. Black Panther deaths but mostly cartoon fighting 4. Roma (1 frightening death, mob mayhem) 5. The Favourite (kicking, poisoning, animal cruelty, etc) 6. Green Book (punching / gunfire / threats) 7. Bohemian Rhapsody (assault on cinema / taste only) |
EASY PASS DOES IT PASS? FAIL |
1. Bohemian Rhapsody (they love a jukebox musical) 2. Green Book 3. A Star is Born (easy but wouldn't it have happened already if it was going to?) 4. Black Panther (It is Disney property) 5. The Favourite The rest seem impossible but you should never say that because some producers are insane and have money to burn. 6. Roma 7. Vice 8. BlacKkKlansman |
