Crs97 February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 When I was a teenager, I thought that they should show us the part of the movie with the song in it. If it's only in the credits, so be it. 2 Link to comment

Steph J February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 5 minutes ago, scarynikki12 said: It doesn’t typically happen but I think that you can be nominated for Picture if you quality for the Oscars in general. What would be truly amazing is if a short ever gets nominated for Picture, though I wouldn’t put money on it. I may be wrong (someone please correct me if I am), but I don't think a short film is eligible to be nominated for Best Picture because Best Picture honors feature films and a film has to be a certain length to qualify as a feature. 1 Link to comment

CherryMalotte February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 Well, I do love Ali but boy I so wish Richard E Grant would have gotten this one. After seeing the nominees he really gave the best performance. 8 Link to comment
AnswersWanted February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 A bullshit story may have got him here but Ali was incredible in the role and even the man’s family forgave him for the lack of insight so I am glad he won. He really is a fine actor. 14 Link to comment

wallflower75 February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 So the prognosticators continue to be correct—Mahershala Ali wins his second Oscar--although like Sam Rockwell’s win last year, I’m not sure about the movie itself. 3 Link to comment

Grant (with Sam Elliott as my second choice). Me too. 😞 Looks like the increased diversity in the Academy is making itself felt. 🙂 EDITED TO ADD: Since it seems as though I miscommunicated what I wanted to say and people took offense, let me clarify: I was rooting for Richard E. Grant to win (hence the sad face emoji), but I am not at all upset that Mr. Ali got the trophy (well, except for the fact that it turned out to be a precursor to GRENN BOOK winning Best Film). What I meant by the "diversity" comment is that in an earlier era Grant would have been a lock for the win, but the increased push for diversity has now brought talented people of color to the fore where before they were ignored. (Hence the smiley face emoji). I in no way meant to insinuate that the diversity push was a bad thing or that Mr. Ali did not deserve his win, and I sincerely apologize for my words giving the impression that I did.

Mountainair February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 I saw Bohemian Rhapsody and loved it! I've never been a huge Queen fan girl- was born in 1984 so they were a bit before my time but I've always loved most of their music. The movie legit brought tears to my eyes and had me going down a huge Freddy Mercury/Queen internet rabbit hole. As a side note, I am a musician. I am part of a flute choir (there are 8 of us). I play both the bass flute and the regular C flute most people are used to seeing and one of our pieces is Bohemian Rhapsody. We play at the medium security prison twice a year and it's so awesome hearing these guys belt out the lyrics while we play! 15 Link to comment
thuganomics85 February 25, 2019 Author Share February 25, 2019 I actually was wondering if Richard E. Grant would pull of an upset, but I guess you can't best against Mahershala Ali! Crazy and awesome to see how he's blown up. That said, he's what I imagine what was going through his head during his speech: Mahershala Ali: "Thank you, Viggo! The time you said the N-word wasn't cool, but I can move past that. Peter? Thanks for not flashing us, at least. As for that writer guy, fuck him! Because apparently Linda Cardellini and myself were the only sane ones in this damn film!" 7 Link to comment
