PerfectGUY 7,822 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Just now, Kitsch said: Little? In the Actress category, there are like 8 to 9 actresses who are in serious contention for a nomination. I'd say Actor is looser but Actress is a fcking bloodbath, it's amazing how Gaga could rise above acclaimed actresses such as Glenn Close, Nicole Kidman, Viola Davis, Natalie Portman. compared to last year with 3 Billboards, Shape of Water, Meryl Streep... the competition was way harsher This year, except The Favourite, none of the movies could outshine ASIB during the ceremonies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause you only pointed out three... Because this year we have a lot of them- Lady Gaga Glenn Close Melissa McCarthy Olivia Colman Yalitza Aparicio Viola Davis Nicole Kidman Emily Blunt Toni Collette Also the Oscars have a habit of rewarding Best Picture to independent movies rather than commercial blockbusters, and Green Book and Roma might do the same just like how they did with The Shape of Water, Moonlight, Birdman and The Artist. I don't even remember the last time a commercially successful movie won Best Picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's important is the movies. Last year, the movies were critically very acclaimed while the movies those actresses staring are not (except for The Favourite). Our threats were First Man (didn't live up to the hype), Roma doesn't have a lead actress... BlacKkKlansman and Greenbook don't either. So yeah this is a weak year, and that's for the better and it should make us hopeful !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He attacked Vegas residencies when Gaga was on the news for it (retirement for artists). That's why his Superbowl was panned and unforgettable in how bad it was. Maybe HE should retire..

Roma's lead actress is Yalitza Aparicio, and the Oscars love newcomers as much as they love veterans. There are many debut roles which have managed to get an Oscar nomination. 15 minutes ago, PerfectGUY said: It doesn't matter that the actresses are known or not. What's important is the movies.

Like I said above, newcomers can be just as big threats as veterans. Everyone is able to get a nomination as long as you deliver a genuinely convincing performance. And there are just as many acclaimed movies as there were last year, I don't know what world you live in to get the impression that this year's movies are not as acclaimed or intensely in contention as last year's.

Guest Adarsh Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Gaga is at least getting a nomination for best actress. She'll be the token commercial favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
