This was the first time I watched the oscars. I was obsessed with The Silence of the Lambs, so I needed to see if they would win, and they did, so I was a happy little girl :)

It was actually Janine, mentioning the Billy Crystal Hannibal moment amongst others, in the War for the Planet of the Apes thread...

... that prompted me to make the Envelope Fiasco thread into an Oscar Memories thread.
Yes, it was a great moment. The Christopher Reeve one was also a memorable one.

No, I don't always agree.
Sometimes the choices seem wildly at odds with what become accepted classics in the years that follow and the statuette is often given out to some film that will be a forgotten and largely unwatched obscurity in the years ahead, while the film that is snubbed is, in contrast, watched by new generations of viewers, who appreciate it more than the Oscars ever did.

Do you have any favorites for the Academy Awards this year?
A lot of these awards (Golden Globes, Oscars) are coming up quick. Do you have any movies you are rooting for in particular?

I would love to see Logan and Blade Runner get some love from the Academy. I really haven't seen anything Oscar worthy this year, but my son says that Dunkirk should get best picture. He loved that movie.
I would like to see Thor: Ragnarok or Spider-Man get best effects (or Star Wars, but I haven't seen it yet).

Honestly, I should see Logan. I've heard a ton of good things about it, but I simple haven't got around to seeing it yet. Blade Runner was really good I thought. And I wouldn't mind seeing Dunkirk getting a few Oscar nominations, thought I should rewatch it though as a refresher.

Dunkirk definitely deserves something. I have yet to see Bladerunner 2049 though. Good from all accounts.

If you get a chance you should watch Blade Runner 2049! Outside of Dunkirk, I don't know if I've seen anything that would get serious Oscar consideration, but then again there's still a ton of time to go!

PGA Unveils Its Best Picture Nominees
The Producers Guild of America announced the nominees for their year-end awards this morning, their Best Picture category usually the single best indicator of what will end up an Oscar nominee in a few weeks time.
The contenders?
“The Big Sick,”
“Call Me By Your Name,”
“Dunkirk,”
“Get Out,”
“I, Tonya,”
“Lady Bird,”
“Molly’s Game,”
“The Post,”
“The Shape of Water,”
“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”
“Wonder Woman”.
Last year, nine out of their ten nominees made the cut for Best Picture (“Deadpool” being the one that missed out). In each of the four years before that, all but one of the Oscar Best Picture nominees came from the PGA’s ten nominee list. This means, at best, it’s likely only one of the notable absentees from this list like “The Florida Project,” “Mudbound,” “Darkest Hour” or “Phantom Thread” will score a Best Picture nomination.
“The Boss Baby,” “Coco,” “Despicable Me 3,” “Ferdinand” & “The LEGO Batman Movie” are up for the animated film award. “Chasing Coral,” “City of Ghosts,” “Cries from Syria,” “Earth: One Amazing Day,” “Jane,” “Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower,” and “The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee” are up for the Best Documentary.
On the TV front the Best Drama Series category includes “Big Little Lies,” “The Crown,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Handmaid’s Tale” & “Stranger Things”. On the Best Comedy Series front it’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Master of None,” “Silicon Valley” and “Veep”. On the TV movie/mini-series front the nominees are “Black Mirror,” “Fargo,” “Feud,” “Sherlock: The Lying Detective” and “The Wizard of Lies”.

I don't know who Boss Baby payied off, but that movie shouldn't have made the list. Hope Coco wins the award. I was really hoping for Franco to get a nomination same with his movie. What I love about the awards alot of times there are movies that get nominated that I have never seen or heard of. Get Out still surprising me with getting a nomination. The movie wasn't that great to beginning with.
How in the hell did Get Out get so many nominations? It does not deserve it. It was a fun horror but it was kinda ruined by the failed attempt at humour with the best friend plot line.
And really Meryl Streep again?

Beatty, Dunaway To Present Top Oscar Again
A year on from accidentally presenting the Academy Award for Best Picture to the wrong movie, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are reportedly returning to the Dolby Theatre stage for another go on Sunday.
TMZ reports that both actors will once again present the Academy’s highest honor at the 90th annual Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles with the two rehearsing their lines on Thursday night for the big moment at the theatre.
At last year’s ceremony, Beatty and Dunaway infamously announced “La La Land” had won the prestigious Best Picture award due to being handed the wrong envelope by one of the accountants in charge of envelopes who was too busy on social media to pay attention to his job. After a flurry of activity on stage, it was quickly revealed “Moonlight” had actually won.
In an effort to prevent another mistake, the Academy has prohibited the PwC accountants who handle the envelopes from using cell phones or social media during the show. Several other reforms were announced ahead of the awards show, including the addition of a third balloting partner in the show’s control room.
