My personal favorite is Green Book if anyone is interested, best movie I’ve seen in over a decade.

The Best movie isn't there.

"Cold War" the nominee for Best Foreign Movie, was better than any of those movies listed.

I'm sorry, I am unable to vote in your poll.

It looks to be raciss to me: no White Panther or White Klansmen??

It may also be colorist: what about Red Book?  Blue Book?  I don't see them as options.

(Aside from the fact that I saw none of those movies!)

I didn't see any of these movies either, and probably never will, but I'm going for Bohemian Rhapsody and Roma.

Since Bohemian Rhapsody is the only one of these I've seen, I'll go with that.

None. The Oscars are all about political insiders and have nothing to do with merit.
Don't know if you've seen it yet, but there is a fairly big 'F**k the Oscars' movement going on in a lot of social media sites.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

This year I broke my tradition of not having seen any of the Oscar-nominated films when, while on vacation with a friend last month, she rented "Bohemian Rhapsody."  I thought it was surprisingly good.

Alas,I doubt it will win.

LOL, when I saw Bohemian Rhapsody,  I couldn't help but thinking that Snafu and Sledge, wound up forming Queen, all those years after they fought in "The Pacific".

Oh and really, yet another version of "A Star is Born?"  What is this -- version #12?

Ok, I'm exaggerating.  But it seems to me redoing this movie is definite proof Hollywood has run out of ideas.

Sorry I missed the choice in the poll of "who gives a shit"

I boycotted Liberal Hollywood long ago.   In the rare case I do find someting interesting, I'll use my Netflix and Amz Prime option.

What's it about, @Freya ?  I haven't seen any of the movies this year (unusual), so I don't have a vote.

Oh, never mind.......... I HAVE seen "Black Panther."

The speed and frenetic nature of the scenes made my old eyes hurt.  happy77

Last time I set foot in a theatre, this was the movie. 



This was in 2003.

Loved that movie, but not as much as Gettysburg.

We saw Gods and Generals with our son right before he deployed to Iraq his first time.   When he was in elementary school, every time he was home sick (not that often), he'd watch Gettysburg, and I'd stick around to hear one of the best soundtracks in the history of the motion picture industry!  happy77

Haven't seen any of the nominated movies, but if I were to vote for best actor, it would be either Christian Bale or maybe Rami Malek (loved him in Mr. Robot).  Not really interested in seeing any of the movies this year.

Christian Bale is a great actor, but his movie role was a complete lie, so he's out in my book.

Good point.  And he would have to be a leftie to agree to play it.... right?  But I still like 'some' actors that are lefties.... against my better judgment.  And some that have played roles that I didn't like (like Denzel).

The left is on 24/7 assault mode against any and all present and former office holders on the right.  Cheney was as hated as Bush back then... but even that hatred is dwarfed by their hate for Trump and all things Trumpish.  Probably because he used to be one of them (on their plantation).

Did you see it?  It was extremely well done and the 'connection' between Cooper and Gaga was amazing.  Their acting was superb each in their own way. 

I was disappointed actually that Cooper wasn't nominated as best director.

Since I saw the movie, Kelly Clarkson 'covered' Gaga's song 'Shallow' - it was even better than Gaga's version!

That would be 2003 as it was the last movie that I enjoyed before my father passed away.  Great movie by the way and I am a huge fan of Mel Gibson.

  • Didn't vote for McCain Dole Romney Trump !
I have watched most of these in some capacity...

Gonna throw in trailer links for others to get an idea about the movies.

Green Book was ok if it didn't have the gay junk thrown in... which was pure speculation...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP0VHJYFOAU

Black Panther was not my cup of tea... (perhaps the least liberal)... Kids liked it.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP0VHJYFOAU

The Favorite was trash (history wise) but the Queen was a good actor.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP0VHJYFOAU

Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen singer) I didn't watch, not a fan of the gay lifestyle so didn't care to watch. Will admit the group was tight (music wise).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP0VHJYFOAU

Roma, Boring and depressing, lacked plot. Few scenery shots but nothing I would say was overwhelmingly great.

The Klan Movie is a Spike Lee movie, I refuse to watch his crap.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP0VHJYFOAU

Star is Born may be a good movie, I ain't seen it. Any Comments for any of yall that seen it?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP0VHJYFOAU

Vice I have not seen, probable won't due to being sure it is just a political hackjob.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP0VHJYFOAU

Didn't vote... Green Book was ok. Probable "The Favorite" will win if I had to guess.

I'd probably vote for "Roma" because it seems to be the least "Hollywood-like" of the nominated films.  Plus the wife saw it, and liked it.

Enjoyed them equally, except that the R.E.L. tiebreaker goes to Duvall over that left wing puke Sheen.

Okay I will say it:

Blacks comprise about 13 percent of America's population

This year the movies seem to be over 50 percent black in some manner
