Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread

Hollywood died because of our sins. If we weren't torrenting the shit out of them, they would be still alive and kicking now.  

Because of that, the best we got is shitty netflix productions full of sjw & lbgt propaganda.

We are the victims of our own greed.

Look how they massacred my boi. The Matrix Resurr... I can't even say its name. That fucking cocksucker Ton... I mean Lana Skorsky destroyed a fookin legend.


(I haven't watched it)

If you are a big fan of the original trilogy then I will recommend to you that you never watch the movie, it is that terrible, the plot is awful, the effects are terrible and if anything I think it added more plot holes to the story, so it is such a sad thing that having all the time of the world and huge resources available that is the best they could come up with, what I do not know is how they could convince Keanu Reeves to participate on that train wreck?

I remember back in 2018 Spike Lee's film BlacKkKlansman had several oscar nominations.

It was beat out by marvel's Black Panther (2018) which took home 3 oscars.

After that, comic book films were blamed for many societal trends in the USA. Even though comic book films are a global market, and not limited to north american release.

I think there could be considerable jealousy and envy from hollywood towards the success of comic book to live action film adaptations, which have flourished recently.

However, also look in what categories BlacKkKlansman was nominated and where it had won the award. It was nominated for best picture, best director and best adapted screenplay where it won. Black Panther won its awards only in minor categories where it was expected to win. In best production design and best costume design. The unexpected award for it was the best original score.

Comic book movies were blamed for stealing much of the weekend box office numbers from many studios. Those studios were very jealous hehehe. However, it did not make the comic book movies better than the movies nominated for major awards.

Everything now can be digitally effect, Im a  fan of Keanu since Matrix and mostly in John Wick. I wasn’t aware of the new Matrix movie since it’s been long since they do a follow up movie after the trilogy. It will seems to be a John wick continuation to me even it’s not. I might watch new John Wick movie first before I watch the new Matrix movie or will need to rewatch all the trilogy of Matrix in Netflix before I watch it. Maybe next year Keanu will receive awards now that he have 2 movies in a row.

I am a fan of the trilogy indeed. I have read enough reviews and they convinced me. I am not going to see it. I won't even torrent it.

I only saw the trailer before the release and I already knew what it was going to be like.

As I said I haven't watched it but I can guess that it is a SJW fuck fest.

No thanks. Dexter New Blood is going alright luckily. I'm fine for another 2 weeks.

Keanu is in because he don't give a damn about it probably. Money is money in the end. It is not his fault the story sucked.

Often the first parts are the best in the sequel and very often the filmmakers fail to meet our expectations. I'll probably watch The Matrix even if it disappoints me like I did with Dune, from which I expected so much more. But in my opinion it is definitely not worth skipping such films.

I watched both of these films.  And I must say I liked "Dune" more.  
I also want to note that almost 20 years have passed since the release of the previous films "The Matrix".  Keanu Reeves and Trinity (actress Carrie Ann Moos) have aged a lot.  To be honest, it's not very pleasant to look at them not so young anymore.  Compared to films from 2000-2003.  Agent Smith is also played by another actor.  Doesn't really match his usual image with black glasses.  
So I didn't really like this new "Matrix".  

If about an award, then the "Matrix" can only have an Oscar for special effects.

[acroman08]

I'm pretty sure that all the movies,which have a "progressive" and "liberal" message would win all the awards again.

one of the reasons why I stopped watching it.

(I haven't watched it)

let's just say that as the movie progress it becomes more and more cringy. I loved the trilogy and I was extremely hoping that I would love this movie too. but after finishing it I was left with sadness and disappointment. that being said, I think the actors were fine it's just that the story itself is bad.

I was able to watch the last part of the Matrix in only two attempts - firstly, the film is too long for almost 2 and a half hours. Secondly, it is not very dynamic and we can say that you start to get bored while watching. However, I do not regret the time spent, since I really respect the trilogy and out of respect it was necessary to get acquainted with its continuation, everyone who does not like the trilogy is better off not wasting time and passing by this film.

[AicecreaME]

Was there even a good movie in 2021? I don't remember I watched any quality movies lately. Oscar awards lost its meaning long time ago. Seems to me they are trying to keep this tradition alive desperately. Since there aren't any decent movies, they are throwing the awards randomly now. Which means, you can't really come up with an educated guess.

This made me think of a great movie that has been released this year. I can barely remember any and if there's one, probably it's from Marvel. I can hardly name a few because some movies that were released this year are not just worth it to watch. Maybe it just appeals to me that some plots just keep on being repeated on different movies. But that's just me. Also, we have different taste and likings in terms of movie genres and plots, so the greatness of a movie is still subjective I guess. What we can agree with in terms of greatness might be the cinematography, film editing, sound effects, and camera angle, and the overall narrative.

I just hope that this Oscar Awards will be done because it is worthy to celebrate the victories of the artists in the industry and not just because it is mandatory. Hopefully, they'll be able to produce more and more quality films and movies in the next years in which we could say that the whole production deserve the award. It's nice to award someone because they deserve it and not only because someone took a lucky guess or random pick.

This is probably one of the biggest problems of the movie, from the beginning of the movie you can see there is something wrong with it, I really think the directors tried to be too smart about it and what they thought was interesting ended up being really boring for the public, so they failed to put themselves on the shoes of the fans to produce a decent plot, also I do not like the number of times we saw images from the previous movies, after all it is obvious that if you are watching the Matrix 4 that you have watched the trilogy but once again the directors did not seem to think about something that basic.

Look how they massacred my boi. The Matrix Resurr... I can't even say its name. That fucking cocksucker Ton... I mean Lana Skorsky destroyed a fookin legend.

Wow, the truth is, I plan to see the movie today and I don't want to receive any spoilers, I haven't got any here, but I've seen that some friends speak very badly of the movie, however I think that the movie that has broken all the schemes is Spiderman Marvel with the multiverses, for now I think that this film is the best so far, it remains to be seen throughout this 2022 that the best films of any genre will come, it is time to see good cinema.

If you are a big fan of the original trilogy

Its hard to remake an original without requiring or having further story to structure the whole movie around.    The thing I took away from the original Matrix films was despite being an action movie it was also with a quite deep core message.  Not everyone will agree with me but I believe a few have said it relates to eastern Buddhism and inner reflection to greater consciousness, not just a small theme but quite massive.  I dont know who managed to put that theme into an action movie but it was well done and to say its hard to remake would be an epic understatement.  
  Its safe to say it will not qualify for an oscar unless anyone can discern some technical expertise award especially.

I agree with this because of the pirated version of the movie. This leads to low income for the filmakers and it's not worth it to spend more. That is the reason why the cinema is dying right now: because they couldn't get enough money as people want only to watch it on their devices from pirates. Well, people saved a ton of money since it is expensive, but the result is that only a few are making movies right now.

You yourself have no idea how right you are and how close you are to the truth!!!
After reading these words of yours, I really thought - what is happening in the film industry.?  
And everything turned into a trash heap, mixed with the sins of mankind.  These aggressive women with machine guns, LGBT assholes, some kind of magicians flying on a broomstick ... Well, there is no other.  What the fuck is Oscar?  
The films themselves are such shit that it is necessary to introduce an Anti-Oscar and reward those who come up with an even greater insanity of human or monster behavior.

@everyone. I found a website where movie experts share their predictions for all of the different categories in the Oscar Awards. Much of them have predicited The Power of the Dog to win with some predictions going to Belfast, West Side Story and Dune.

For best director it was almost unanimous for Jane Campion the director of Power of the Dog.

https://www.goldderby.com/awardshows/expert-predictions/oscars-nominations-2022-predictions/sort/recent/



Also, another indicator for the Oscar winners is the winner Golden Globes. Last year the Golden Globes and the Oscar Awards had the same winner for best picture and best director with Nomad Land and Chloe Zhang.

The presentation of winners of the Golden Globe will be on January 9 hehe. Odds are offered in sportsbet.io. The favorite to win for best picture for drama is Belfast, my bet.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/entertainment/globe-awards-best-motion-picture-drama/globe-awards-best-motion-picture-drama-61b9ad37056ce7a21d446b93

Best picture for comedy and musical is clearly West Side Story.

For best picture, Jane Campion.

Dune for best picture? although it was a good movie(and to be honest I am surprised that they didn't butcher it), was it really that good to be included as one of the top picks on that category by one of the experts? anyway, according to their prediction it looks like the power of the dog and west side story are strong contenders to win the best picture category.

[famososMuertos]

Well with enough time of "presale" for replys this thread,  I still remember the thread that was created last year .

Although I have already seen some like The Power of the Dog, the assembly very good, scenery, but as a movie, I don't know...next, I liked Will Smith's, it may not be one of WS's best performances but it is close by as when he was nominated for movie ALi, curious another movie related to sports.

Don't Look Up is a great movie, I don't know if the release time allow nomination I think there is a limit for the films to enter for a certain year, but whatever the time, streaming dominates the trends of the favorites.

For now I would bet on Will Smith, sure he is going to be nominated.

Dune will not be best picture on Oscar. Sorry, for Oscar movie needs to be highly social which shows to us some problems in society or human relationships. Dune is typically sience fiction, good made, but anyway it doesn't have any chances.

I reckon it was. It was one of the best motion pictures of the year for 2021 if I am being honest. The film changed some characters to be in inclusion of minorities, however, it did not have a negative impact on the story. Also, those experts have made their personal choices on what movie they liked after watching them. However, if they chose to make a pick for betting, I speculate their choice would be Belfast, West Side Story or Power of the Dog.

@johhnyUA. Agreed! But I am quite certain that Dune will be nominated for best picture and will win an award in at least 1 minor category

I know, and I don't expect it to win. I was just replying to what the experts chose as to what movie has the best chance to win Oscar's best picture. also, as I said before, it looks like The power of the dog, Westside story, and Belfast(I checked again and Belfast is also one of the top picks) are strong contenders to win Oscars. I haven't both of the movies though.

However, if they chose to make a pick for betting, I speculate their choice would be Belfast, West Side Story or Power of the Dog.

yeah, I was checking further into their predictions, according to them The power of the dog, West side story and, Belfast have the best chance of winning.
