Once again, there were no surprise winners at all in any of the major categories. All of the winners were telegraphed by previous awards presenstations from the Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild, Producers Guild and Writers Guild.
I was happy for Jordan Peele winning the Best Original Screenplay Oscar. I really liked the Key & Peele show despite the griping from Dave Chappelle. Hard to belive Peele is the first African American to win a screenwriting Oscar. I thought maybe someone like Spike Lee had done that previously (Dead Poets Society won that Oscar the year Do the Right Thing was nominated).
Another unique piece of trivia: I'm pretty sure Kobe Bryant is the first person to win both an Oscar and NBA championship trophy. Are there any other professional athletes who have won championships in an organized sport and also won an Oscar?
Francis McDormand's "inclusion rider" thing seems really out of touch with how and WHERE most "Hollywood" movies are being produced. High cost and regulatory requirements have pushed many productions out of California. States like New Mexico and Georgia have attracted many hundreds of movie and TV projects. Texas and Louisiana are popular sites for production. And then there's all the stuff going on outside of the United States. Vancover, Toronto and other parts of Canada have been grabbing up "American" movie and TV productions for a long time. Even New Zealand and Australia are doing the same. A bunch of this stuff is about controlling cost, diversity and inclusion be damned. Increasing amounts of post production work, such as animation and CGI work, is getting farmed out to the Far East and India.
I was a little disappointed Dunkirk didn't win the Best Cinematography Oscar. The movie didn't have the greatest ever looking 70mm & IMAX 70mm footage. Still it was a pretty tremendous effort to shoot that kind of a movie on 65mm film, with most of it being true IMAX. The Oscar winner, Bladerunner: 2049 was a great looking movie; however, much of its look was generated in the computer not on set and in the camera. With the amount of CGI, digital back lot compositing, color grading, etc going on with movies like Bladerunner: 2049 they almost qualify to be lumped into the Best Animated Movie category. These movies are only a few steps short of being cartoons. Dunkirk was a very "analog" movie by comparison.
It's a long running Oscar tradition to have movies up for the top awards get their haul of nominations inflated by gimmies in the technical categories. Dunkirk seemed to be a worthy winner of the Best Film Editing Oscar. I think Baby Driver was worthy of the award as well. The other 3 nominees in that category were just along for the ride. Other more action oriented or experimental movies might have been more worthy of inclusion there.
quote: Martin McCaffery Was Deakins coked out of his mind, or is he always twitchy and scratchy?
I was thinking it might be imaginary "meth bugs."
quote: Mike Blakesley From the clips they showed, the Best Picture winner looked like a positively horrible, but what do I know? It must be decent at least.
I think viewers need to actually watch The Shape of Water and give it a chance before passing judgment on it. I thought it was a really good movie. It has a truly despicable villain. Parts of the movie will make viewers uncomfortable and squeamish. But it all ends up making perfect sense in the end. Performances from Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Michael Stuhlbarg and several others were great. This was a very different movie in a tide of so much same-ness.
The Three Billboards movie might have won the top prize if not for some controversy surrounding it. I haven't been able to watch the movie yet for myself. It played here in Lawton a very short time and we missed it.

I was under the impression only cinematographers could vote in the cinematography Oscar category. One would think they would at least appreciate the effort that went into filming a war epic on 5/65mm and 15/65mm film. On the other hand there are cinematographers who are staunchly in favor of an all-digital approach. So maybe there's a clash of philosophy present. Inception is the only recent movie to make any use of 65mm cinematography and win the Best Cinematography Oscar.
FWIW, the American Society of Cinematographers gave its 2017 feature film award to Bladerunner: 2049. Yet another examples of the Oscars being telegraphed by other awards programs.
Long ago the Oscars divided the Cinematography awards into separate color and black & white categories. I'm not sure what they should do here. "Best Digital Intermediate" Oscar? Film use is dying off overall, so they wouldn't be able to sustain a separate "Film Cinematography" category. And then there's the issue of movies being shot on film, even 5/65mm in some cases, yet having all the posting work done via digital intermediate. With digital-based production so much of the movie's final look doesn't happen in the camera at all. They cover the basics on set then manipulate the living hell out of it with color grading, effects compositing and all sorts of other artificial sweeteners.
quote: Terry Monohan I ways hoping when many Dunkirk award winners were giving their little thanks you's at the Oscar show that they would mention It was shot on rare 70mm film, a classic format from the mid 50's that makes the movie crisp and stand out. The public has no idea what 70mm is these days as no one even plugs It, not even the guys that filmed It when they won a award for Dunkirk in front of millions of people around the world.
Yeah, it's a shame. Even many people who have heard of 70mm don't really understand it. That's how you can have a movie shot on 65mm film, but processed in the digital realm during post and then output it to 70mm release prints as if no bottle-necking took place at all.
