Alright faggots, time for some real movie analysis. So far my personal rankings are as follows:

1. Green Book
2. The Favourite
3. Bohemian Rhapsody
4. Black Panther
5. Blackkklansman

Which in reality is more like:

1. Green Book
2. The Favourite

Still have to finish Roma (halfway through and it's snore city), and start Vice and A Star is Born.

Green Book and The Favourite are neck and neck in my opinion. Great movies.

Bisi...thoughts on Best Actor? I've heard Mahershala Ali is great in the Green Book, but seems like Rami Malek is cleaning up at all the other award shows for his Freddie Mercury.

On one hand Black Panther is not great and shouldn't be noninated. It's okay. On the otherhand I like to see a super hero movie nominated.

Biggest problem is that Infinity War came out the same year and is a vastly superior movie

Have they ever given major wins to the first part of a series? Keeping in mind that Godfather doesn't count.

Lord of the rings trilogy won some stuff

Yeah and no big wins until Return of the King, and Fellowship was a superior movie to Return imo. The trilogy became increasingly reliant on wow factor with the epic battle scenes rather than telling a good story.

Lots of films took big wins at the Oscars and became series. Such as Rocky and Silence of the Lambs

Frankly BP getting nominated for diversity doesn't both me...since like I've noted previously since they expanded the potential field to 10 films they usually nominate 3-5 shit films in support of super artsy bullshit. The IW question is a legit one, though.

In your analysis, you all seem to forget that Black Panther is also 2018's highest grossing film in the US. Infinity War is not that far behind, but it's behind.

When has that mattered with the Oscars?

Well, there was Avatar being nominated for best picture despite being an awful movie.

Or Titanic winning for best picture when it was pretty far from it.

Honestly, the academy is weird and too influenced by campaigning. See: Crash

I think Titanic was one of the top 5 films of all time. All time. It was trope-y I admit (Cameron was running on a well-built formula for success) but the production effort of bringing that film to life was mind-blowing, and yes... I'll say it and own it: their relationship was incredibly believable and I cri everytiem I watch it.

I was about to call you faggot but I hadn't read the username yet. Dammit you took that one from me. Titanic and Avatar are both special because of the technology behind them and the influence they had on films afterward, otherwise neither are best picture worthy for their respective years. Titanic is a great movie however, more than worthy of that title. Avatar was about as generic a plot as you can get. I mean it's just Fern Gully mixed with bits of the Matrix and generic sci-fi tech seen in tons of other franchises (Alien universe, Halo, etc).
