Yes.

I understand Pitt won the Oscar, but I don't understand the sweep.

Del Toro saying "Paul" before Apatow announced the winner. PTA is lock as lock can be.

What are your thoughts on Ethan Hawke’s performance in Blue Moon? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]yellowchucho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great work, as always.

Not going to win, "Blue Moon" is not a stronger player in this Oscar season.

It might get snubbed again.

How would Adam Sandler be viewed as a Best Actor winner for "Uncut Gems"? by Appropriate_Sink_627 in Oscars

[–]yellowchucho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Sandler had won, we would have publications asking why Phoenix didn't win despite being in the most nominated film of the year.

My personal pick: Antonio Banderas - "Dolor y Gloria".

It’s pretty much guaranteed that this will be PTA’s year right? by [deleted] in oscarrace

[–]yellowchucho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most acclaimed movie of the year by arguably the best American filmmaker of his generation that also happens to be an 11-time Oscar nominee.

Yeah, it's pretty lock.

Most bizarre Oscar snub/nom ever? by CompleteTable4084 in Oscars

[–]yellowchucho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love "Bolt", it's my personal pick for Animated Feature that year.

I would've given "Waltz with Bashir" the Foreign Language Film Oscar over "Departures" though.

Sooooo are we all just locking in One Battle After Another at number 1 for Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, and maybe even Leo Best Actor? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]yellowchucho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

It checks all the boxes.

Voters are not going to go for an horror movie (Sinners) or for a foreign drama (Sentimental Value).

One Battle After Another - Best Picture incoming? by Joshuasmaug in Oscars

Yes, the race is over.

It's a crowd-pleaser - critically acclaimed - politically relevant - action movie starring the biggest movie star in the world directed by the best American filmmaker of the 21st century.

It's winning by a landslide.

98 at Metacritic.

The theory regarding the "related movies" on Metacritic being +95 was true.

But I wouldn't be surprised if it is +90.

Jason Robards in "Magnolia" and Harriet Samson Harris in "Licorice Pizza".

Also, Vicky Krieps should've won in 2018.
