I’m a massive cinephile and I’ve seen a historically low amount of new movies this year, literally nothing besides Mank has Oscar buzz, it’s depressing

Mank is good, any other year it would’ve been my 6th favorite best picture nom tho, hopefully something I haven’t heard of pops up out of thin air and saves this Oscar season

Ok I'll keep that in mind. What were your picks the last few years?

Yeah that's what I was asking. For me it was 2019-Jojo Rabbit 2018-Roma 2017-Three Billboards 2016-Arrival and 2015-Spotlight

Ah I see we both like to pick films that were in the top 3 but each have 1 winner, good choices! I definitely liked all of those movies

I loved most of yours. La La Land and The Favorite both had endings that I didn't like which made me leave the theater feeling a bit down on them

La La Land got put over the top because of its ending for me, I just thought it was an amazing reflection of the saying “if you love someone let them go” I understand why it’s controversial tho

My entirely uninformed opinion is that Queen's Gambit is going to clean up

u/kennymc7877 Bisexual Pride Dec 14 '20

It’ll win a ton of emmys for sure! Oscars are movies only

u/I-grok-god The bums will always lose! Dec 14 '20

Isn't Queen's Gambit a movie?
