…..I don’t know who is in charge of selecting the films deemed worthy of winning an Oscar….but they sucked big time this year….
BEST PICTURE…..and this is the best they could come up with….
The Shape of Water.….Seriously?…..besides the fact that she screws Fishman.….it was like watching a re-make of Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah’s Splash in opposite roles…..I’ll give you Pan’s Labyrinth Guillermo del Toro.…but this one.….nah!
Call Me buy Your Name.…..Just what the world needed.….another version of Lolita
Darkest Hour/Dunkirk……Why didn’t they put these two films together…..and make one good one?
Get Out…..Good advice.….”Get Out” of this category.….I still don’t get the big hype about this film…..but what do I know
Phantom Thread…..Just what Hollyweird needs…..a film about an obsessive, psychopath dress maker
Lady Bird……Weird but good……not best picture material though
The Post…..I kept forgetting I wasn’t watching Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady……probably would’ve been a good idea to add some footage from All The President’s Men…..and throw in Liam Neeson’s new film…..Mark Felt to make it a bit more interesting
Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri……This is the best one in the entire lot…..but I hated the ending
LEAD ACTOR/ACTRESS….
Meryl Streep…..Stop bothering the woman.….and just UPS-DHL or Fed Ex an Oscar to her home every year so that she doesn’t have to sit through a boring show……and do the same for Denzel Washington
Daniel Day-Lewis/Gary Oldman…..Hard choice..…both of them were great…..Gary is due to finally win one……he should’ve one his first one for Leon: The Professional
Frances McDormand……Nailed it….if she doesn’t win…..something is wrong
SUPPORTING ACTRESS/ACTOR…
Sam Rockwell……No question
Mary J. Blige…..I know I’m going out on a limb here…..but she killed it
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM…..Everyone one nominated..…is worth watching!
FILMS AND PERFORMANCE THE OSCAR PEOPLE MISSED……Mudbound…..The Mountain Between Us…..What Happened to Monday (Noomi Rapace-best actress)……Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Costumes, special effect and Cinematography)…..Tiffany Haddish (Girl’s Trip).….Victoria & Abdul.….Andy Serkis..…the guy who played Caesar in War for the Planet of the Apes…..Murder on the Orient Express…..Last Flag Flying…..God’s Own Country…..Breathe….Jane Fonda (Our Souls at Night)
GEORGIA TEACHER ARRESTED FOR FIRING A GUN IN SCHOOL….Yep…..great idea Donnie…..which reminds me of the gun instructor..…who was hired by the school system to teach kids about gun safety.….and yep, he shot himself in the classroom…..so what’s your next bright idea Donnie……arm the students….so they’ll feel safer around teachers..…who are armed?……and….speaking about our gun problem.….a 19-year-old student attending Central Michigan University….shot and killed his parents in the schools dormitory……a man shot himself outside the White House…..Trump wants to take your guns first and go through the due process of the law second..…the Second Amendment just flew out the window…..and everyone thought Obama wanted to take away their guns..…if you think it’s bad in the USA….
THE REST OF THE WORLD…..Ukraine police raid protestor camp….South Africa votes to transfer land from white farmers to black farmers…Germany sees almost 1,000 anti-Muslim crimes in 2017….hand grenades and gang violence rattle Sweden’s middle class…nine California students hospitalized in possible opioid overdose.
BRAIN SURGEONS PERFORM PROCEDURE ON WRONG PATIENT…..Sorry,….but this is funny….a bunch of stupid idiots.
NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR: “I WISH I COULD GO BACK FOR ONE DAY”…..Anyone wanna give me ten to one betting odds.….that it’ll be his last day on Earth?
BOLIVIAN TOWNSFOLK PUT MAYOR IN STOCKS FOR DOING A POOR JOB SERVING THEM…..You remember that medieval restraining device…..they would lock your arms and your head in this wooden thing and display you in the town square?…..that’s what they did to him.….for an hour…..right in the middle of the town square.….and told him he was doing a shit job taking care of them…..if only we could that in D.C.
