The 2019 Oscar nominations are out and the usual stories will also be floating around. One being the snubs and surprises. The snub story was one I loved to do bit over the years, it feels out of place. Why? A snub implies that one of those who did get nominated did not deserve it. The other is, every media outlet does it so now it seems like a waste of time. Kind of like movies reviews now - there is a glut of them and they now feel meaningless. So, try something different, or stick the the basics. Give out the nominations and let them stand on their own.
Of course, give out the nominations, along with a few opinions and let that stand. But, indicating who is not there is not a snub story. It simply says that person may have been nominated elsewhere, but not for Oscar. And the buzz for the person of film did not translate. It also means the media could have been way off on that person or film.
"Joker" led the way with 11 nominations and that movie was a miss with critics and those trying to doom it. Much like "Bohemian Rhapsody" last year, they were way off on the film. Both are great films and dissing them simply because you do like something the film left out or how the politics plays out, is wrong.
Best Picture
“Ford v Ferrari”
“The Irishman”
“Jojo Rabbit”
“Joker”
“Little Women”
“Marriage Story”
“1917”
“Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood”
“Parasite”
Thoughts: They have nine, but could have 10. Most years since they upped this category, there has never been 10. Wonder why?
Best Director
Bong Joon Ho, “Parasite”
Todd Phillips, “Joker”
Sam Mendes, “1917”
Martin Scorsese, “The Irishman”
Quentin Tarantino, “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood”
Thoughts: Much will be made that no women are nominated but it still has been a solid year for them with all nominations. Not every director can get in.
Best Actor
Antonio Banderas, “Pain and Glory”
Leonardo DiCaprio, “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood”
Adam Driver, “Marriage Story”
Joaquin Phoenix, “Joker”
Jonathan Pryce, “The Two Popes”
Thoughts: No Robert De Niro here and that is not a snub. He has not been in other awards, either. Perhaps not a snub and the correct thing. Leo gets in here while not being around for other award shows for this movie. Can Joaquin Phoenix ride it all the way this award season. Sure he can despite rambling and incoherent speeches.
Best Actress
Cynthia Erivo, “Harriet”
Scarlett Johansson, “Marriage Story”
Saoirse Ronan, “Little Women”
Charlize Theron, “Bombshell”
Renee Zellweger, “Judy”
Thoughts: The only thing "Bombsehll" has is Charlize Theron. Renee Zellweger is the favorite and should win.
Best Supporting Actor
Tom Hanks, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”
Anthony Hopkins, “The Two Popes”
Al Pacino, “The Irishman”
Joe Pesci, “The Irishman”
Brad Pitt, “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood”
Thoughts; Tom Hanks sleep walks through his film while two from "The Irishman" will negate each other, so Pitt can ride high.
Best Supporting Actress
Kathy Bates, “Richard Jewell”
Laura Dern, “Marriage Story”
Scarlett Johansson, “Jojo Rabbit”
Florence Pugh, “Little Women”
Margot Robbie, “Bombshell”
Thoughts: A double nominations for Scarlett Johansson since she nabbed one for lead actress in another movie. Kudos to that.
Best Animated Feature
“How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World”
“I Lost My Body”
“Klaus”
“Missing Link”
“Toy Story 4”
Thoughts: A weaker "Toy Story 4" and it still ends up with a nomination.
