Anyone else watching? I do it just to get pissed. Updating with wins.
Best Supporting Actor winner: Sam Rockwell; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MissouriI wanted to win: Three Billboards
I guessed would win: Three Billboards
Best Makeup & Hairstyling winner: Darkest HourDidn't care much. Was disappointing that Shape of Water didn't get a nomination.
Best Costume Design winner: Phantom ThreadDidn't care much.
Best Documentary Feature winner: IcarusI wanted to win: Icarus
I guessed would win: Icarus
So happy Icarus won this. Incredible documentary, second favorite one ever. "Tickled" is my #1, it's insane.
Best Sound Editing winner: DunkirkI wanted to win: Baby Driver or Blade Runner 2049
I guessed would win: Baby Driver
Really, Dunkirk? It had a lot of gunfire and stuff but nothing about the audio blew me away, except for how loud it was.
Best Sound Mixing winner: DunkirkI wanted to win: Baby Driver or Blade Runner 2049
I guessed would win: Baby Driver
The hell? The entire movie of Baby Driver was synchronized to an INCREDIBLE soundtrack so that all the actions were fluid and brilliant. But DUNKIRK wins because... it had some nice sounding guns.
Best Production Design winner: The Shape of WaterI wanted to win: Blade Runner 2049
I guessed would win: The Shape of Water
Really? Shape of Water gets it over Blade Runner? That movie was incredible and every set was soaked in brilliant set and lighting design. The cgi blended well with the rest of it and the whole thing was incredible. Shape of Water was great and pretty but not even on the same level.
Best Foreign Language Film winner: A Fantastic Woman (Chile)I wanted to win: The Insult
I guessed would win: The Insult
A Fantastic Woman literally won because it starred a Trans-Woman as the lead.
Best Supporting Actress winner: Allison Janney; I, TonyaI wanted to win: Octavia Spencer; The Shape of Water
I guessed would win: Lesley Manville, Phantom Thread
I'm gonna be so pissy if Phantom Thread wins supporting actress. Rooting hard for Octavia Spencer from The Shape of Water. She just about made that whole movie.
Best Animated Short winner: Dear BasketballI wanted to win: Revolting Rhymes (Incredible)
I guessed would win: Lou (generic Disney cartoon)
I am so pissed that Kobe Bryant's awful Basketball short won over the INCREDIBLE Revolting Rhymes. I was watching that film and I swear it just got better and better and better. One of the coolest looking animated shorts I've ever seen. At least it didn't go to this year's generic Disney short.
Best Animated Feature winner: CocoI wanted to win: Coco
I guessed would win: Coco
I didn't like Coco that much (it was a good movie) but wow, the other options are garbage. I've seen them all and Boss Baby & Ferdinand were bad. Must've been a bad year for animation.
Best Visual Effects winner: Blade Runner 2049I wanted to win: Blade Runner 2049
I guessed would win: War For The Planet of The Apes
So happy Blade Runner won this. Oscar judges always seem to vote for the mildly convincing monkey CGI that has been around for like 5+ years now despite the fact that it has made minimal improvements.
Best Film Editing winner: Dunkirk I wanted to win: Baby Driver
I guessed would win: Dunkirk
What was the impressive film editing in Dunkirk? Baby Driver has incredible sync but Dunkirk didn't have any transitions or anything that astounded me.
Best Documentary Short winner: Heaven Is a Traffic Jam on the 405
Best Live Action Short winner: The Silent ChildI wanted to win: The Eleven O'Clock
I guessed would win: Watu Wote (I was SURE would win)
So pissed that Silent Child won. It was preachy and stupid. They villified the parents to an extreme degree and it was almost comedic. The ending was so stupid (with the girl signing "I LOVE YOU") and almost laughable. The Eleven O'Clock was HILARIOUS and brilliant, one of the funniest shorts I've seen. I didn't think it would win because of the lack of politics, but Watu Wote was also great and really touching. It had political issues and was very tense during the hostage scene. I am dumbfounded that Silent Child won because it was genuinely the worst (or second worst) of the entire selection. Did they watch the films they voted on?
Best Cinematography winner: Blade Runner 2049I wanted to win: Blade Runner 2049
I guessed would win: Dunkirk
BLADE RUNNER WON BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY OVER DUNKIRK. I'M SO HAPPY I AM TURNING THE OSCARS OFF RIGHT NOW.
Best Picture winner: The Shape Of WaterI wanted to win: The Shape Of Water
I guessed would win: Three Billboards
Sorry that I didn't update, I was busy having a ten minute long climax after The Shape of Water miraculously beat out Three Billboards for the Oscar. So happy. This almost makes up for Star Trek Beyond getting it's award stolen by Self Delete Squad.
