30 MARCH 2019 NOTE: If all goes well with Netflix sending me the right movies on the 9th of April, I will have seen every film that earned more than 1 nomination from the awards I track and will put up the Year in Film sometime on the 10th or 11th followed a few days later by the Best Picture post. If they don’t, it will probably be soon after that point anyway.
NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THE 91ST OSCARS, PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS POST
I honestly don’t know how much I will add here. Time and money aren’t at high availability right now and I don’t know how much I’ll be able to see in the theater over the next month or so. I’m struggling just to get some regular posts completed. This definitely won’t have the kind of updates I did last year. I will try to put things in here as they come up if I can.
But, I wanted to especially provide a forum for those who comment on the awards season so they have a place to put their comments and have a discussion so that they don’t have to throw them up among comments on other (less relevant posts).
At this point, I honestly haven’t quite decided my current #1 for the year between First Man, A Star is Born or BlacKkKlansman, all three of which are quite equal in my mind. The only categories (of the 20) which I have a clear #1 at this point are Actress (Lady Gaga), Supporting Actress (Claire Foy), Song (“Shallow”) and Animated Film (Incredibles 2).
So, feel free to make any comments about anything for the awards season. Most comments made during the day (PST) won’t post until I get home (late evening PST) but I will approve them. (more…)
