Thought I'd start a thread for any movie fans who want to make random comments/thoughts about this years Academy Awards, next Sunday night I think.

I think A Star is Born will likely get shut out of major awards. I think that's a shame, as it was a really good film with two major star turns. Gaga was phenomenal. As a director Bradley Cooper did an amazing job. It's a remake a few times over and I think that will be held against it.

Roma was beautiful and very moving but is not mainstream movie going. Art house fare. Which I do like. But comparing that movie to Bohemian Rhapsody is like comparing obscure experimental to Queen. It will win most of the big awards because (a) it's a beautiful film and (b) academy voters will make a statement about the oppressed poorly treated working class.

Bohemian Rhapsody was really fun and the music is great, and the lead guy playing Freddie was great, but really shouldn't be in any best picture Academy Award discussion.
