Subject: What is the favorite movie to win the Oscar 2019?

Written By: duenas8 on 02/20/19 at 5:45 pm

I have watched Bohemian Rhapsody, Black Panther and The Favourite. The film that I liked the most so far was Bohemian Rhapsody. Now I’ll watch Roma...

After Roma, I'll have seen all the movies nominated for Best Picture (2019).

It is between "Roma" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" for me, but I have not seen all of the nominated films yet.

I don’t particularly care for Oscar Bait films, nor big-budget summer blockbusters.

But as a classic-rock junkie, I thought BR was accurate and very well-done. So there’s my vote.

I was not impressed with "The Favourite", hopefully it will not win.

So true.

It has been said in the media over here, next year there will be a film titled "... And The Winner Is!"

I saw Vice and Bohemian Rhapsody and I think the Oscars could change a trend.  I don't know if a biopic movie has ever won best picture before.  I don't think the Queen won that.  I don't think Roma can win b/c the Academy would not lower themselves to recognize, a distributing streaming service Netflix as being better than the normal movie-going experience.  This is not a swipe at the film itself btw.

There has been several biopics that have won, "The Life of Emile Zola", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Patton", "Gandhi", and historical dramas. Several Best Actor awards have been handed out to portrayal of real life people.

Does anyone know at what time the ceremony starts in Los Angeles? I then have to add 8 hours on the time in the UK.

1. Blackkklansman
2. Roma
3. Green Book
4. Black Panther
5. Bohemian Rhapsody
6. The Favourite
7. A Star is Born
8. Vice

If Roma wasn't distributed by Netflix, it would have been a shoo-in.  It might win anyway because of the changes in academy membership. Tbh, Blackkklansman and Roma are the only two movies on here I think are worthy of best picture so I'll be disappointed if any of the rest win.

The same happened with "Moonlight" a few years back.

I still have to see "Green Book".

Green Book was more enjoyable than I expected. I don't think it's best picture material but at least it was in my Top 3.

Love Rami in Mr. Robot. I think he was a horrible Freddy Mercury. One thing about him tho is that he stands out.

It is just recently I discovered he was the Pharaoh Ahkmenrah in the "Night at the Museum" film series.
