Best Oscar nominated picture, in Your opinion?

[Vash01]

Now that 9 films have been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, which one is The best picture of this year in Your opinion? I don't want a prediction; just want to find out the most popular movie on fsu.

Three Billboards because it’s brutal harshness coexists with the most real human characters of all the nominees!

 

[RoseRed]

I've only watched Lady Bird, but it was lovely.

 

[joubertelegant]

The Post was an amazing movie all around!

 

[joubertelegant]

I liked Three Billboards a whole lot too. Very powerful and impactful.

 

[smurfy]

I will answer the day before the oscars. I will be going to AMC 2 day best picture showcase.
I have seen a few of the movies already, but will wait until I see them all

 

[KatieC]

I've only seen Darkest Hour and Dunkirk, loved both. I hope to see The Post soon.

 

[screech]

Of the nominees, I've only seen Dunkirk which I found a bit hard to follow at times with all the jumping around.

 

[butyrskafanatic]

I just hope they dont give it to a total joke like Moonlight winning last time.

 

[annie720]

Based on the fact that I haven't yet seen Phantom Thread or Call Me, I chose 3 Billboards. Get Out was a close second.

 

[caseyedwards]

I just hope they dont give it to a total joke like Moonlight winning last time.

Agree

 

[screech]

Forgot that I've seen Get Out as well. I found it overrated. Mind you I'd heard the buzz for months before I saw it, so it was hard to live up to what I expected.

Agree

Blacks AND gays??!! So oogy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

La la Land was robbed.

 

[allezfred]

La la Land was robbed.

It wasn't.

 

[debo]

La la Land was Best Picture! .... for about three minutes.

 

[screech]

Hidden Figures was the robbed movie last year IMO

 

[Meredith]

Hidden Figures was the robbed movie last year IMO

I positively agree. There are movies that gently remind you that you don't know enough about your history. Hidden Figures was such a movie imo.

 

[caseyedwards]

It wasn't.

Disagree.

 

[jenny12]

As a technical achievement, I think Dunkirk deserves it, but I’d be happy wth either Get Out or Lady Bird winning since it’d be great to see more diverse voices rewarded and both were quality works.

 

[Vash01]

I was planning to see Get out. It's the only nominated movie I gave not seen. However, I read that it's a horror movie, scary, with violence and blood, so I decided not to see it.

 

[snoopy]

It's a scary movie but there is no violence or blood. It's psychological.

Thx. I have added it to my Netflix queue, but may see it in a theatre before that.

 

[Wyliefan]

I've only seen two. Loved Dunkirk; thought Three Billboards was overrated.

 

[snoopy]

The post and lady bird were well done but done before. Get Out, the shape of water, and Three Billboards were well done and novel. My pick for the winner though is call me by your name as a recoup for brokeback mountain.

I would argue that Moonlight was an untold story of history as much as Hidden Figures. Hidden Figures joins a list of many great movies about the oppression of African-American women. I am unaware of movies other than Moonlight which tell the story of poor, black, gay youth. And Moonlight was done in a gritty, intense way rather than the sweet, TV-movie of the week feel of Hidden Figures.

Meh, it was OK. Been there, done that narrative though.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

It's a scary movie but there is no violence or blood. It's psychological.

Um, there is some violence and blood near the end.

Not a lot, and definitely not the amount typical of a horror, but if you’re sensitive to that stuff...

I am sensitive to it but I have survived a few movies like that- Baby driver, Three billboards.... The violence in The Shape of water was overdone, IMO. Although I liked that movie, the violence didn't please me. Three billboards is overrated, IMO, though it has very good acting.

Couldn't stand some of the Oscar winners like the Departed, No country for old men, for example. I can handle war movies but violence/crime- usually not.

 

[Wyliefan]

Sometimes psychological horror is the hardest of all to get through, for me at least. Many of my friends were raving about Get Out, and I would have liked to see it, but when I heard about some of the stuff that went on -- not even gory stuff -- I knew I couldn't take it.
