The Oscar nominations are out! Some thoughts, in no particular order: The Shape of Water—a movie about forbidden fishman love—racking up 13 nominations makes a lot of sense when you think about it in these terms: The Shape of Water is about a mute woman, a black woman and a gay man who join forces against an evil militaristic racist on behalf of an immigrant who is being held captive and tortured. Obviously it's about Trump. I think this is the one to beat for Best Picture. — Kyle Smith (@rkylesmith) January 23, 2018    Ladies and gentlemen, we have your frontrunner! "As a work of dramatic art, however, The Shape of Water is utterly inert. The deck is mercilessly, remorselessly stacked in favor of its misfit heroes, their enemies bigots of every variety, their softhearted goals undeniably just. There is never any doubt who will win, or for whom we are supposed to cheer. It is uncomplicated and boring, an R-rated morality play that pretends its adult-oriented language and sexuality are a variety of sophistication. It is truly a fairy tale for adults: Its intellectually shallow, sure, but at least its explicit." — Me, being right about The Shape of Water a month or so back. Of course its going to win. I didnt like Three Billboards or The Shape of Water, but Id prefer Three Billboards to win best picture if only because itll annoy all the right people. The biggest surprise had to be Darkest Hour taking a best picture nomination. I have a hard time believing five percent of the voters picked … that … as their best picture of the year. But they call it Oscar bait for a reason! Oh, and it totally screws Dunkirk. Huzzah. That being said, I still hope Gary Oldman wins best actor. Hes legitimately great as Churchill and while I admire the Academy for nominating an actor who played a teenage boy that suffered from sexual predation at the hands of an older man in this, the age of Kevin Spacey, Chalamet has many years of award-contending roles ahead of him. This is Oldmans time. Wait, sorry, the biggest surprise is actually Denzel Washington getting a nomination for Roman J. Israel, Esq. I mean. Come on. I told you Wonder Woman wasnt a best-picture-worthy film, and I was right. That being said, Patty Jenkins definitely deserved a best director nod over Greta Gerwig, who directed a very nice sitcom in Lady Bird. Needless to say, Gerwig is going to win instead of someone who deserves it. Woody Harrelson > Sam Rockwell. I saw some folks complaining about The Lego Batman Movie not getting an animated feature nomination. And I have to say, no snub made me happier today. Goddamn that movie was a soul-sucking death march of mediocrity and self-aware hackiness and corporate synergy. How anyone sat through that dreck without wishing for a swift and merciful death is beyond me. Roger Deakins will probably get screwed again, somehow. The fish-fucking movie will take his win away, I just know it. I dunno, thats all I got for now. I cant wait to watch in a few weeks as Dunkirk gets screwed by the Academy. Yay.

2018 WAFCA Winners
2018 WAFCA Winners
Культура

As a film critic of medium-low importance, one of my most sacred duties is participating in the Washington Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) year-end awards extravaganza. During this hallowed time of year, I watch dozens of movies and mine my own recollection of the good, the bad, and the ugly to determine what, precisely, the best films of the year were. At the end of this grueling process—this death march through endless stacks of DVDs, searching for the rarest pearl in an ever-increasing sea of muck—we WAFCA members nominate up to five films/people in each category. The five films/people who earn the most votes in every category are then voted upon by the whole of the membership, the winners are chosen, the press release is sent out, and blessed, blessed relief descends upon us as we put the exercise to rest for 11 months.
