2019 Oscars Red Carpet & Ceremony - All Awards Lead To Roma

[aftershocks]

I'm personally just expressing my opinion on the show. People talking about people's heads exploding are being 'extra.'

 

[ryanj07]

Why does the Academy hate Glenn

I’m so bummed for her. This seemed like a now or never moment.

 

[Lacey]

Julia Roberts looks beautiful.

 

[Allskate]

It was a broad performance in The Favourite. I didn't like the picture nor the acting. Interesting way of approaching the subject matter though.

I didn't care for The Favourite, but I thought the acting was appropriate to the writing and that it was really good. I'm kind of glad that a more humorous performance was rewarded because we don't often see that.

Now, if Coleman takes the same approach in "The Crown," I'll be very unhappy. And very surprised.

 

[aftershocks]

She was amazing in Broadchurch the series which is on Netflix.

Thanks for the heads-up. I don't think Coleman is not a good actor. She definitely is. That's why I'm interested to see what she's going to be doing in The Crown.

 

[canbelto]

Julia Roberts needs to lay off the fillers and botox.

 

[alchemy void]

Julia Roberts STUNNING!

Olivia Colman was amazing in The Favourite, but I'm sad faced that Glenn Close did not win.

 

[chantilly]

My only salvage from Glenn not winning is people will be pissed and will cast her!

 

[Vash01]

Greenbook - Best Picture! I agree!

 

[escaflowne9282]

Julia Roberts STUNNING!

Nope.She looks like Skeletor and her dress gives me a headache

 

[peibeck]

Well I didn't want "Roma" to win, but honestly.... "Green Book?"

 

[annie720]

Totally expected in my house. No way a Bryan Singer film was going to win this year.

 

[chantilly]

I just said this might be the other surprise of the night.
Good on the academy for not giving two best film awards to one movie.
I don’t give a shit I loved Greenbook.

 

[aftershocks]

Come on. Green Book was not that good to receive Best Picture. If that's the case, then Mortensen should have won Best Actor.

It looks like BlackKlansman, Black Panther, and If Beale Street Could Talk cancelled each other out. And we see the kind of African-American history-themed picture approach that the Academy prefers to reward. Bleh. Right, we all just need to get along to go along. Sure. I'm sure the picture was fine. It certainly WAS NOT as groundbreaking as Black Panther and BlackKlansman, period.

 

[Amy L]

Octavia Spencer is a head shorter than everyone on stage. She's adorbs.

 

[Allskate]

Huh. I liked Green Book and can't say I'm surprised that it won. But, it would not have been my choice. When I saw this movie, I thought it was well done and the kind of thing that the Academy likes, but not groundbreaking movie making.

 

[alchemy void]

Nope.She looks like Skeletor and her dress gives me a headache

Awwwww, I love the bright pink dress! That was kind of a weak ending tho.

 

[once_upon]

We really didn't miss a host did we?

 

[VGThuy]

Roma unlike what others said, was not the typical Oscar Best Pic winner. It was a foreign film (no foreign film has ever won), black and white (last one was The Artist and Schindler's List), had foreign film like pacing, and was a subject many Americans didn't relate to. Green Book fit the bill much more safely. No one movie swept the precursors so it was always between Green Book, Roma, The Favourite, and Black Panther with maybe Bohemian Rhapsody sneaking in. Oh and the Netflix thing was playing heavily against it, but I was unsure how heavy it would play.

 

[peibeck]

I guess all roads did not leave to "Roma" afterall. I guess the voters got delayed at one of those "Green Book" hotels.

 

[Vash01]

Ever since they expanded the BP nominees to 8-10, we started seeing shocking results. This is the third year in a row. Spotlight, Moonlight, Greenbook. None of them was expected to win.

I am relieved that Roma did not win both best foreign language film and BP. I didn’t expect a Greenbook win, although I had enjoyed that movie.

 

[ballettmaus]

Huh. I liked Green Book and can't say I'm surprised that it won. But, it would not have been my choice. When I saw this movie, I thought it was well done and the kind of thing that the Academy likes, but not groundbreaking movie making.

There is groundbreaking movie making nowadays?

 

[Allskate]

We really didn't miss a host did we?

No, I thought this approach worked very well.

 

[VGThuy]

To be honest, looking at the last few Best Picture winners, it makes Moonlight's win even stranger. That ultra indie ultra low budget from an unknown director who had no history in the industry about a low-income black gay man in Miami really pulling off that win was the exception not the rule.

 

[jenny12]

Sad for Glenn Close. Bit thrilled for Olivia Coleman. She's been one of my favourites for a few years. I love her.

Agreed. And she was so charming in her acceptance speech!

Green Book winning...ugh is all I can say.

 

[aftershocks]

I'd have been okay with Bohemian Rhapsody winning over Green Book. As I said, GB is a nice film, but nothing transformative. It will NOT be remembered as a touchstone in the history of American filmmaking.

 

[VGThuy]

I'm so happy Colman won, but I am feeling sad about Close. 7 nominations and 0 wins. That's really sad especially when she wore that dress and was winning awards beforehand. I guess it's just not meant to be for some people.

 

[peibeck]

Come on. Green Book was not that good to receive Best Picture. If that's the case, then Mortensen should have won Best Actor.

It looks like BlackKlansman, Black Panther, and If Beale Street Could Talk cancelled each other out. And we see the kind of African-American history-themed picture approach that the Academy prefers to reward. Bleh. Right, we all just need to get along to go along. Sure. I'm sure the picture was fine. It certainly WAS NOT as groundbreaking as Black Panther and BlackKlansman, period.

"If Beale Street Could Talk" wasn't nominated. Although I felt it was more deserving of a nod than "Black Panther " or "Green Book."

And picture voting is weighted, unlike all the other categories, where highest vote tallies take all. So vote splitting isn't so possible.
