2018 Oscar Nominations-And the Oscar Goes To..........
- Thread starter steve williams

The low ratings had nothing to do with politics, it had everything to do with the movies nominated for Best Picture. None of the movies nominated for Best Picture sold more than $40M at the box office, they were mostly art films. The most-watched Oscar ceremony was in 1998, the telecast averaged 55.25 million viewers. That was the year "Titanic" was nominated.
FAKE NEWS. Gary Oldman never admitted to beating his wife. From the Daily Mail UK: "Oldman denies the attack took place and dismissed her statement as 'replete with lies, innuendoes and half truths'."

I want to see this documentary:
According to some given reasons: A year of low box office revenues for The Shape of Water with the most nominations, thirteen, was one of the factors. And the other films didn't make it the one billion dollar mark.
It's a combination of low revenues for the films nominated this year, and also, IMO, a lack of true talents in the acting business. We can have a very long discussion about it ...
It's a complicated story, and nobody here was there, in their lives.
We are weak in many many aspects of life, the human race.
We are getting more and more unforgiving and judging.
There is less and less room for error.
We can send a Roadster to space and yet we cannot send a toaster to the Oscars. It's a way of speech to say that our priorities are not always in line with the best fundamental values of life.
The real life of other people we know less than nothing.

Someone got her Oscar stolen, but was later on reunited with it and had a double cheese burger.
The culprit who took the Oscar is a musician, in search of fame. He ended up in jail with a $20,000 bound.
Don't steal other people's Oscars, it won't bring you fame and fortune, only in your own head when playing jazz in your cell. Lol

Fair enough,. However, if the denial contained only half-truths, what was the half that was true??
But you gotta love that she had a rocking good time. She was obviously smashed and didn't care who knew it. She may have had more fun than anyone else that night!
I thought she looked terrific for a woman of 80 and how about Eva Marie Saint at age 90 as a presenter. She also was fabulous IMO
Agree. And I appreciate looking good at 80 and 90. But hard not to have your breath taken away by the 28 year old Eiza Gonzalez

Yep, it takes a lot of confidence to wear a yellow dress. She was absolutely stunning.
Agreed, Eddie Vedder was the best of an otherwise terrible night of musical performances.
Vedder did a fine job but so were the performances from the nominated movies "The Greatest Showman", "Mudbound" and "Marshall". The eventual winner from "Coco" was pretty bad.
I think another interesting factor in the poor performance of the Oscars and the movie business in general is that investment has moved to on-line media outlets and cable. Other than comic book movies, there are few stand alone big tent blockbusters like ET, Titanic or Forest Gump. The best talent and most of the money is on the small and very small screens.
Agreed Marty. Sadly in this environment, an accusation with zero back up or independent corroboration is enough to destroy a career.
IMO Marshall was absolutely terrible. Maybe her ear monitors were bad, I've never heard Mary J hit so many sour notes.
The blockbusters are rarely the good movies. Some have been but usually the better movies are not box office winners. I'll take Mudbound, 3 Billboards, I,Tonya and Shape of Water over the comic book movies any day.
Also, I think people are more disinterested with Hollywood's glamour and last year didn't help...Harvey Weinstein's "practrices".
But you were right overall Jeffrey about a low revenues year @ the box office in general for this year's film nominations. It seems that those statistics had the greatest impact in the overall number of viewers who turned in this year to watch the Oscars.

Say that both of us are 20 years old, studying acting, filmmaking, photography, ...anything related to the Hollywood movie industry, and that we are watching this year's Oscars on our TVs or any other screen devices. What would be going through our mind? :b
Me, the Kawasaki jet ski.
I'm just kidding, I truly have no clue, and the young people today are super fast in criticising from personal and superficial appearance. ...Plus the vast influence of the social medias in sealing their mind towards the trends of our times.That's only a small fragment of a loose opinion, mine.
