Would anyone have thought it was a good joke if the presenters for "The Irishman" had come out talking and dressing like stereotypical Mafiosi and wearing Fedoras? It is an awards show and the presenters should have been appropriately dressed, period. Appearing in badly done Cat costumes was not...

Which is exactly what is wrong with the bloody Oscars. It is "Best Visual Effects" not "Best Visual Effects in the Service of Making Something Look Realistic". The same goes for "Best Picture". It should be "Best Picture" not "Best Picture because it is live Action and an Actor's Film".

It still didn't deserve to win that category. Visually it looked like any other war movie. There is nothing visually outstanding in it. Giving a film a VFX award for successfully making it look mundane and typical of any other war film. Outstanding. :rolleyes:

1917 did not deserve to win Visual Effects. Nothing was particularly striking visually in 1917. It was your typical war movie visuals. Making the film look like one take is not a visual effect. It is an editing trick.

That's cool with me. Like I would bother to cheat on something that has no consequences to winning or losing anyway. (Shrug)

I didn't even know they were already on when I made my guesses. Still, I can see your.point but, in my defense, I didn't know who had won what.

I haven't seen a lot of these so I'm only going to guess at the some of the main ones and the only one I'm ever interested in. Best Pic: Once Upon a Time In Hwood Best Dir: Sam Mendes Best Actor: Joaquin Phoenix ( Just going with the flow on this) Supporting Actor: Brad Pitt Best Animated: Toy...
