Not that I loved the movie or anything, but Gleiberman's linked take on The Miseducation of Cameron Post is maybe the stupidest possible reading of that movie

Re: Awards Season 2018
I'd be pretty happy if Annihilation's score made it to the final five.
I haven't seen all the foreign film shortlisters yet, but I can already say that Birds of Passage, Burning, Cold War, Roma, and Shoplifters would be a stellar set of finalists.

I know sometimes Desplait gets in for nothing special scores, but Isle of Dogs absolutely deserves to win, so it had better at least be nominated

I'm struggling to remember any score from a movie this year other than Under the Silver Lake

Re: Awards Season 2018
I've seen all 87 submissions for this year. Though I cannot discuss my opinions regarding the shortlisted film, this isn't a bad list.domino harvey wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 7:04 pmThe only one most of us care aboutColombia, “Birds of Passage”

Re: Awards Season 2018
The two scores that struck me as notable from the potential nominees were Annihilation and First Man, though I've heard good things about If Beale Street Could Talk. I haven't looked back at past shortlists, but there does seem to be a disproportionate amount of bombastic "Most Score" contenders on this list...

Re: Awards Season 2018
Damn, that's right... was it not eligible for some arcane/arbitrary/asinine reason?

Re: Awards Season 2018
I don't know about You Were Never Really Here, but Under the Silver Lake will only be released in the U.S. next year, so it wasn't expected to be eligible for this year's awards.
And kudos to my country, which hasn't been shortlisted in the Foreign Language category since 2008 (or nominated since 1999)!

Re: Awards Season 2018
They didn't publicly release a list of eligible scores this year, but it wasn't among the scores reported by Variety to have been unexpectedly deemed ineligible, which included other notable would-be contenders like Solo (because Lucasfilm missed the submission deadline), The Other Side of the Wind (due to the prominence of pre-existing music), and Jóhann Jóhannsson's final effort, Mandy (for an arcane/arbitrary/asinine reason).DarkImbecile wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 7:48 pmDamn, that's right... was it not eligible for some arcane/arbitrary/asinine reason?
If You Were Never Really Here is eligible in other categories it's hard to imagine a reason it would have been ineligible in this one.

Re: Awards Season 2018
The Swedish entry Border makes the shortlist for Make-up and Hairstyling, but not the shortlist for Foreign Film. That's gotta be a rare one.

Coincidentally, that one is on its way to me from Netflix this week!

Has Peter Jackson said why he did not submit They Shall Not Grow Old for best documentary?

Re: Awards Season 2018
I think that the doc feature short list will most likely contains more interesting films than any fiction category.

Here’s the shortlist contenders:
“Charm City”
“Communion”
“Crime + Punishment”

“Of Fathers and Sons”
“On Her Shoulders”
“RBG”

Re: Awards Season 2018
Sad not to see Sunset on the Foreign shortlist as I'd heard good things about it. Hopefully Roma, Cold War, Burning, and Shoptlifters make it. Didn't really care for the rest/seen.
The Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared was nominated, not just shortlisted.TraverseTown wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 8:19 pmThe Swedish entry Border makes the shortlist for Make-up and Hairstyling, but not the shortlist for Foreign Film. That's gotta be a rare one.

Re: Awards Season 2018
Glenn Kenny's Best of 2018 — which inexplicably includes The 15:17 to Paris, as the "Best Borzage picture of 2018" — and some supplemental lists, including "some out-and-out not-good movies that were somehow well-received" that covers 40% of my top ten for the year.

He also states Hereditary had jump scares. No it didn't?
