Joker with 11 noms @ the Oscars

Joker keeps on winning.

• Best Picture

• Best Actor
• Best Adapted Screenplay
• Best Cinematography
• Best Original Score
• Best Film Editing
• Best Costume Design
• Best Makeup
• Best Sound Editing
• Best Sound Mixing

Thoughts?

Haven't you already made a post for this?

That was for the BAFTAs (British equivalent of the Oscars)

@scholomance: Okay.

@scholomance: How many noms did Endgame received?

One, for VFX. I think that's deserving.

I'm very glad. But it's very disappointing how The Lighthouse, Uncut Gems, Rocketman and The Farewell were all largely overlooked.

Whoa, 11?! I knew it get it’s fair share of noms, but I didn’t expect this many. That’s really impressive

Lighthouse solos every film at the Oscars.

Parasite and 1917>Joker in terms of best picture

Phoenix deserves best actor though.

Awesome. It deserves those noms.

Although, I do hope 1917 wins best picture, director, and cinematography. If you haven't seen it, you should, it's probably the best film of 2019.

The fact that Joker got nominated for best Director, Best picture, Best screenplay is a f##king Joke while movies like Uncut Gems, Lighthouse, Little Woman were snubbed for nomination

A lot of snubs this year. Really surprised Uncut Gems got no love whatsoever.

11 nominations means Joker probably won't go home empty handed but it's facing stiff competition in every category. It might go 1 or 2 for 11. I wouldn't be surprised at all if 1917 takes home a bunch of awards.

I just went through all the nominations of Oscars and I must say that they have nominated very few films, which is somewhat disappointing. Lighthouse, Doctor Sleep all of these films deserve nominations.

Amazing and well deserved.

As much as I want Joker, Irishman and OUATIH to win the most awards, we all know the predictable boring war film is gonna dominate. Oscars sure love a war film.

I won't be shocked if Phoenix goes home with the Oscar for Best Leading Actor.

To be real tho, I don't think Joker will win those categories, the best bets are: actor, original score & cinematography.

It's well deserved though.

@scholomance: I know but a nomination is still a big deal especially the other movies would have benefited from it.

@tobeymaguire84: Huh? A film about rich and privileged teenage girls is better than Joker?

In Direction and screenplay yes

Let’s not forget that having a high number of nominations does not mean there will be a lot of wins for the movie:

The Turning Point (1977) 11 noms 0 wins

The Color Purple (1985) 11 noms 0 wins

Lincoln (2012) 12 noms 2 wins

Reds (1981) 12 noms 3 wins

The Revenant (2915) 12 noms 3 wins

Benjamin Button (2008) 13 noms 3 wins

The Shape of Water (2017) 13 noms 4 wins [includes Best Picture]

Lord of the Rings Fellowship (2001) 13 noms 4 wins

The Kings Speech (2012) 12 noms 4 wins

Most of the time the picture with the most nominations wins about half, give or take one, however in equally rare occasions as not winning any the movie will take home the majority of its Oscars. Titanic (1997) was nominated for 14 and received 11 of the statues. Back in 1959, Ben Hur was nominated for 12 and won 11.

Yeah I definitely don't agree regarding the 'Best Director' category. Like, at all. I can buy 'Best Picture' considering how many films are nominated.

@tobeymaguire84: @wolverinebatmanftw:

Maybe uncut gems should get a nom, but it came out at Christmas, movies that come out in December in general almost never get a nom

Aquaman didn't get any for effects or makeup despite their amazing work in those fields

It just came out too late in the year, no matter how good uncut gems is, it's release date guaranteed that it would be missed by the Oscars

@mrnoital: 1917 just came out and it's gotten a ton of nominations. I think it's just a straight up snub. Plus Uncut Gems has been on the festival circuit since September.

Studios sent DVD of their movies to Academy members way before its theatrical release especially for Oscar focusesd movies like uncut gem and not just that academy now streams movies for academy members. https://www.indiewire.com/2019/10/new-academy-president-david-rubin-oscars-streaming-1202179517/

Also 1917 came out in December just like uncut Gem.

Nominations are nice and and congratulations to Joker for getting these many but I don't see it winning a lot of them.

I just hope Phoenix wins the best actor and Once upon blah blah doesn't win a thing though I don't care about Oscars.

Deserved and hope it wins a lot, finally watched "Once Upon..." and while I loved it Joker is still the best 2019 movie imo.

@tobeymaguire84: 1917 came out at the beginning of the month, uncut gems came out last week of the year during holidays, big difference

very glad to hear that it will be so exciting to see joker wins most of the noms

pd: also if that happens,then it would became the second movie with most wins only surpassed by lord of the rings return of the king.

Lol accurate if Endgame ever had any chance of winning an Oscar.

Did Togo get any nominations?

My predictions

Also, Lotr ROTK went 11 for 11

@rdskns4eva: That's great.

Has that ever happened for another film besides Return of the King?

@lvenger: The only chance was RDJ

Ooft, why are you shitting on my man Tarantino?

@infantfinite128: nope. It’s the gold standard for nom/wins.

Even if it fails to wins anything, the fact that it got nominated for 4 of the big 5 categories is ridiculous.

@rdskns4eva: That's fantastic. Thanks.

He never had a chance though.

I am sad that Lighthouse was snubbed . It was the best film of the year by far and unlike most Oscar bait films , it was not a pretentious " tour de force " .

I am glad Joker got so many noms. It honestly deserved them imo. Oh for the people that say todd phillips doesn't deserve to be nominated, he absolutely does. Great movies don't direct themselves.

I think there's a bit of campaigning and favoritism involved here. I honestly don't think Joker deserves all these nominations and this is coming from a hardcore DC stan.

Joker was great by comicbook movie standards but let's get real here, there were a lot of phenomenal movies with phenomenal acting released. Favouritism and mass popularity shouldn't influence recognition. Unfortunately that has been happening in the Academy Awards for quite some time now. Happened to Black Panther too.

I think Joker will win at most 3 awards and that is still a lot if you're being fair and objective. Best Actor, Cinematography and probably Original score. Comicbook movies haven't reached that level yet. There are sparks every now and then but mainstream cinema is mainstream cinema.

DC's hypothetical real-life adaptation peak performance is and will always be way above Marvel, Warner pretty much nailed it.

The Joker earned all those awards despite the Joker was an R-Movie and despite it attacked Neo-liberal and leftist elites in Hollywood, The Joker not only did that, but it got away with 11 Oscars, with all their power, they couldn't do anything but see how they got wrecked by true factual quality, an irrefutable fact that they cannot oppose, despite all the hate over their faces, while feeling despair and overwhelmed by a titanic presence they never saw before, submerged in trash and a miserable quality they had to rate or qualify for more than 10 years of pettiness.
