What i have watched so far - personal opinion and predictions
Ok, i already have watched 7 of the nominees only miss Father and i dont see this movies earn a cult following any time soon Chicago 7 and Black Messiah are movies about specific moments in american history and i feel for some reason the directors assume foreign viewers would know or have a high level of knowledge about what is happening there i feel a little lost in both movies in some times nothing that ruin the global understanding of what is going on but sometimes present names and events without a explanation of who they are like in the black messiah the make a mention to some black leaders the only one i could recognize and understand why was mention was Bobby Seale and that was because i have already seen Chicago 7 where he was a main character i feel this two movies are to focuss in american audiences and dont offer much to foreign viewers except of course the struggle again oppresive structure and abuse of power but i believe are movies that achive this in a way even people who are not familiar with american history can follow the plot and all the anems that are mention JFK comes to mind
Mank i like almost everything from David Fincher and have high expectation to see a black and white movie from him and is beatifull shot i catch the references and homages to Citizen Kane and the Hollywood of that era but beyond that this is not his best movie and i dont think is best movie of the year
Promising young woman: a man hating letter where every men is a monster i have already explain why i dislike this movie in his page
Nomadland boring with pretty photography i like movies that take his time to say what they want to say but this one just dind't work for me
Sound of metal: ok, not big deal great acting i understand why people like it
Minari really good i believe is the one i like the most, succed in show the struggle of a family in a foreign land and foreign culture i like they dont present the americans as racist and the family as vicitms here are just regular people struggling to succeed the cultural and generational diferents are present the acting his good and the story is very simple but tell in a form you really care for this people
The movie in the nominees that i like the most wasen't nominee to best picture but it was nominee to best foreign film and that is Druk is a shame wasn't nominee to best picture i think is alot better than the ones nominee a exception of father wich i have not seen so i can tell nothing good or bad about it
I dont have any favorite to be honest i dont see myself watching a 5 hours ceremony to see wich of this movie win more awards maybe next year i just hope Druk win best foreing movie and El agente topo win best documentary
My predictions never the less are
Best actress: Viola Davis
Best secondary actress: Youn Yuh-jung
Best actor: Chadwick Boseman
Best secondary actor: Paul Raci
Best Movie: Nomadland
Best Director: i would like Thomas Vinterberg but i think is going to be
Chloé Zhao or David Fincher
Documentary: El agente topo
Foreign film: Druk
Best animated movie: Soul
I know people are always to eager to feel ofended by anything, that is not my intention this is just a subjective opinion, im just a regular asshole who watch movies so is not like im some kind of authority so please dont make the mistake of take this list or my opinion to serious because dont even i do that
