Academy Awards Nominations 2018

Despite it's pedigree surprisingly nothing for Detroit.
At least an acting nod for Will Poulter, but then again it's a nod to racism.
 
*bump* for tonight's/tomorrow's proceedings.

I watched all of the Best Picture nominated films & my vote goes to Three Billboards.

My vote still goes to Get Out, but I don't think it will win. I still have yet to see The Darkest Hour which looks cool, or The Post, or Call Me By Your Name.
 
The Oscars used to give me a great list of movies to look forward to watching but it all now seems to just be about promoting a bunch of things that doesn't make a movie enjoyable.
 
Haven't seen everything and didn't care for everything I've seen. These are the only nominations I really care about and I only really care about two: Leading Actress and Supporting Actor. These votes are completely subjective and personal.

Nominations I want to see win:

Best Picture - Three Billboards
Leading Actress - Frances McDormand
Supporting Actor - Sam Rockwell
Director - Guillermo del Toro
Sound Mixing - Baby Driver
Adapted Screenplay - Logan
Original Screenplay - Three Billboards

I can't agree with that. All the films in the running for best picture are at least worth seeing. I've found a few things I still want to watch from yet lists as well.

So, let's see:

Best Picture - Shape of Water. Well, I'm happy for Del Toro. I preferred Three Billboards because I thought the story was more interesting, but by no means do I think SOW is a bad film.
Leading Actress - Frances McDormand. Yes!
Supporting Actor - Sam Rockwell. Yes!
Director - Del Toro. Yes!
Sound Mixing - Dunkirk. Haven't seen it yet but my brother did and he's mentioned it a few times, so good for Dunkirk, I suppose.
Adapted Screenplay - Call Me By Your Name. Bugger (no pun intended). Romantic dramas aren't really my thing, so I can't comment on it because I doubt I'll ever watch it.
Original Screenplay - Get Out. Well, not a bad movie and good for Jordan Peele. Again, I preferred Three Billboards but, like SOW, Get Out was a good alternative.
