Oscars 2018 Predictions

[The Gipper]

That's right folks, the time has come once again for the Hollywood elite to recognize the Hollywood elite and then endure the Hollywood elite giving speeches about how progressive the Hollywood elite are. It only comes once a year but it's always great to hear JUST how great they all are and I'm sure this year will be a GREAT one with the current political climate in the US and the [HASHTAG]#MeToo[/HASHTAG] movement in full gear. So, let's take a look at all the nominees and start placing bets on not only who the winners will be but who will give the most smarmy, self-serving speeches.

Give The Shape of Water & Blade Runner 2049
all the awards they are nominated for!

But if I'm being honest I've never cared for the
Oscars. I just don't see the point of Hollywood
sitting around having a circle jerk about how
good it is.

Though I agree with you on most, Blade Runner 2049 was awful in my point of view. The Shape of Water was brilliant, but not as brilliant as Get Out, Call Me By Your Name or Three Billboards.

I agree with you on the circle jerk part but I like circle jerks.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Blade Runner 2049 was awful in my point of view.

Even visually? Are you serious?

Ehh...each to their own I guess.

The Shape of Water was brilliant

It is..but I doubt it will win anything
because at the end of the day...its a
story about a woman having sex with
a fish man.

I agree with you on the circle jerk part but I like circle jerks.

Of course you do.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Even visually? Are you serious?

Yeah, it was no more impressive than any other special effects movie I have ever seen. I might be biased because I feel the original film was one of the most overrated movies ever, but there was nothing visually in the new one that hasn't been seen in a James Cameron film already (and I am not a James Cameron fan)

Shape of Water will win best director. There's almost no doubt of that. Guillermo has won every single major directing award already and the academy has the same voters.

Of course you do

You like a lot of perverted things too, so be nice

 

[The Gipper]

Have not seen Call me by your name so I will add that to my recommendation list next to the godfather sequels and space Jam.

It actually takes a while to get into, but once it does, the emotion portrayed by the actors is remarkable.

Okay...maybe I'm just easily impressed...

I hope so...Guillermo is one of the best
in the World in my opinion.

You like a lot of perverted things too, so be nice :emoji_stuck_out_tongue:

Why does everyone around here think I'm a pervert?

Oh wait...

I am a pervert.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Okay...maybe I'm just easily impressed...

I didn't say that. I was just rendering my viewpoint. You might not be easily impressed, you might just have a different viewpoint on what is impressive. What is impressive is subjective.

Why does everyone around here think I'm a pervert?

Oh wait...

I am a pervert.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Glad I was wrong about original screenplay. Jordan Peele deserving as such just won it. Now if I am wrong about Director and Picture, I'll be happy.

 

[Grievous 3D]

The Shape of Water Won...
~ Best Picture...
~ Best Director...
~ Best Production Design...
~ Best Original Score...

Blade Runner 2049 Won...
~ Best Cinematography...
~ Best Visual Effects...

Sweet!

A movie I adore won like 4 Oscars...

Oh...& for the record I've been a Del Toro
fan since Mimic...so I'm not jumping on the
bandwagon.
