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.

Death of Stalin was great. Der Untergang(Downfall) mixed with Weekend at Bernie's and a touch of Mel Brooks

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

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.

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.

Fair enough. I'd argue that Titanic and even Avatar are are more superior movies than Black Panther is on an Oscar consideration scale though. And the revenue difference between BP and IW isn't enough to give BP the clear win over IW when you factor in how much better a movie like IW was.
I dunno. I suppose trying to make sense out of anything awards show related is foolish, even more so now that it's about outer politics rather than the inner-org politics.

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).
