Yes.

The best picture of 2018 were not even nominated
So watch them before watching nomines , "Bladerunner 2049" and "The florida project ".

The shape of water : since being following Guillmero work from his first film , this is his one of most safe work out there.
If you want to watch best film of his watch " Pan's labyrinth'.
That said it is a still a very well made film with usual weird fairytale elements and is enjoyable.

Get out : it's a a very well done black comedy movie.
I meant the genre black comedy , doesn't deserved to be nominated though. But it is funny alright.

Lady bird : coming of age film , the story is nothing extraordinary but dialogues, acting and screenplay keeps your attention and I think a lot of girls would identify the relationships this movie portray between daughter and mother , school friends , Brothers.

Call me by your name : another coming of age movie , where it deals with a relationship between a young boy and a man.
It's a slow burn movie, and nothing happens on the screen story wise.
You need to have patience and see the story of first love growing in a summer season.
Not for evereyone.

Darkest hour : very by the book movie , pretty bland except gary old man performance , nothing is great about this movie , watch only if you are Gary old and fan or interested in history movie.

The post : another safe by the number movie , watch it on a Sunday afternoon , with talent involved it do great technically but film leaves a lot to be desired.

Dunkirk : a technical masterpiece in my opinion , keeps you edge on your seat even if you know the end with it's bare minimum dialogue.
Avoid it only if you don't like world war movies.

Phantom thread : I have come to love this movie , it's Paul Anderson so obviously it's pretty well made, Daniel day and Vicky kreips gives outstanding performances , but more interestingly how the story unravels is amazing and the themes and layers are quite interesting.

3 billboards : Its good , there is nothing bad in this movie.
But it didn't quite gripped me any way , Sam Rockwell and Woody harlesson kept me interested with their roles
Definitely a watchable movie

^^thankyouuu EL 😃 Why do you never give your reviews on that movie thread?:)
I've seen only Dunkirk, hoped it'd win for cinematography...

My dad watched Get Out, he actually deleted it after watching saying it would be a waste of time and thought it was definitely not nomination-worthy

Pan's Labyrinth is on my watchlist!:) thanks, will watch most of these..This year's nominations for best picture, don't intrigue me as much as they usually do..


What about actors/actresses and other categories? Agree, disagree?


I only know of Alexander Desplat and mera dil khush hua ❤️

I don't write since I am quite inept at writing things , I can talk though lol.
I am happy for Roger deakins finally winning it for cinematography on his 14th nomination , this guy is legend.

I agree this year is one of the most bland year.

Coco deserved it but it had been good if a silent voice would had got nominated, anime keeps getting discarded.

Gary oldman was good but I think it's a win for his previous work than this one.
Laurie role was better than Allison in supporting.
Nolan should have won over del Toro.

you think you are inept 😲 that's faaar from truth, I think you write well..

I just looked up Roger Deakins' work, wow yes legendary, so many great movies, and i don't even remember his name... BTW, he was really cute while receiving award, one of the most cutest fellows:p


You watched even Coco? Some movie lover you are!
Agreee, A Silent Voice deserved nomination ..it has social message/s, gives hope, beautifully directed/scripted.. why do they disregard anime? If I remember correctly, none of Satoshi Kon's movies got nominations.. Blasphemous.
Not even ones I have seen so far except Princess Kaguya.

@AD A Silent voice is a fabulous anime ( if u ppl r talking abt an anime)

But I didn't like male lead of dat anime ; who bullies heroine
It's a very depressing anime but I loved female lead n her sister

I just love animes 😆

I liked Lady Bird, Shape of Water and Get Out out of those nominated movies. Don't get the hype around CMBYN.

Thanks for kind words.

Anime is a niche product.
Academy voters are not main market of it and there was interview with academy voters that they don't usually watch animation films and generally go with what there kids like ,therefore Disney , Pixar would keep winning this category.
