    I had been anticipating the release of this film since I first saw the trailer. When I could get an opening night ticket, I decided to buy one for imax. I'd never seen a movie in an imax theater before due to the price but with this movie I felt that it was justified. When I first saw this movie I fell in love with it. I was fully immersed in the story and completely lost track of time. For a movie with practically just dialogue, I tensed up in some moments as if I was watching a thriller. Just incredible effects, acting, and a riveting complimentary score. I saw it two more times in the theaters after that. If this doesn't earn best picture, I don't know what will. I don't believe in perfection, but this is honestly one of the most complete movies of the past decade. The final scene left me stunned and in silence trying to comprehend what I had just seen. The relevance to today's world is utterly terrifying. First time watching one of your videos, it was really great. Looking forward to the next 😊.

      Best motion picture and best director could definitely go to Killers and Scorsese. Best actor is easily Cillian and best actress should be Lily Gladstone. As for best supporting actor, it could go both ways between Robert Downey Jr and Robert De Niro, but RDJ would take the edge for me.

      Glad to see Nolan moving away from Hans Zimmer. Not to say his score was lesser or anything, but sometimes the score just needs to be a companion of a scene and not anchor the scene itself. Zimmer's score tends to do that.

  • @MuffinMcFluffin
    @MuffinMcFluffin 9 місяців тому +11

    Even if it didn't DESERVE to win Best Picture, I believe that it would be very IMPORTANT if it did.
    Nolan being hailed with a Best Director and Best Picture would be a heavy influence on the cinema landscape, and it would bring anyone and everyone to their knees to be in bed with him, including the Broccoli's with their Bond property.
    Is Nolan above Bond? Sure. But can you imagine the buzz around a new Bond film "From Academy Award winner Christopher Nolan, the mind behind Academy Best Picture Oppenheimer," shot in large format? Assuming the film is great, this US/UK dual-citizen would bring in $2 billion, and he alone would net over $200 million.
    Of course, he doesn't have to do Bond. The point is any studio and virtually every actor will take every pay cut to ensure that he keeps the theatrical business thriving the way that it should. Hopefully everyone else follows as a result.
    Yeah... it's that important.

    The Oscars are like politics. The winners are whoever ran the best campaigns. And it’s never a good idea to make predictions. Just ask all those people who were sure Hillary was going to win. That said, I would not be surprised if Oppenheimer wins Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Score, and Best Editing. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Killers of the Flower Moon and Paul Giamatti win Best Picture and Best Actor respectively. Just remember, the best movie or performance doesn’t always win.
