Amazing picks!!! Sander was snubbed of a nomination and he should have won!!
Great List. I am actually on the fence if Parasite will pull of an upset. Everything about the movie was well done. My “critcisms” of the movie are that it felt thematically in line with “American Beauty” with the uncomfortable build up, and the well thought out shots also reminded me very much of Roma. So I was torn because I have felt I have seen aspects of it in other movies. That said it is so good. I think 1917 will probably win. I want Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to win. I feel that is the movie from this year I will watch at least a dozen more times. Uncut Gems too.
Now these are some great nominations and picks.
So happy to see The Souvenir, Booksmart, High Life, and The Farewell get some representation!
Parasite is a poor film. It’s a strained, unimaginative, and needlessly literal evocation of Kafkaesque ideas.
Keep this going please, great job!
