I haven't seen your bottom three mentions.<br /><br /><i>Call Me By Your Name</i> appears to be a movie in the right place at the right time for a lot of people. I know a number of people who will intensely dislike a story about a heterosexual couple but will love the same story about a homosexual couple. I can't get myself to judge things that way--<i>Call Me By Your Name</i> is creepy regardless of gender.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-54530365345626186312020-06-26T22:25:44.656-05:002020-06-26T22:25:44.656-05:00You and I are in in lock-step in our feelings abou...You and I are in in lock-step in our feelings about <i>Call Me By Your Name.</i><br /><br />Of the noms, I'm also with you here. Kaluuya gets my vote. And I actually have seen all the noms this time. <br /><br />I'm working on my own awards for 2017 right now and while I can't guarantee that Jackman will get the win, I certain he'll get a nom. Others I'm considering, aside from the actual Oscar nominees:<br /><br />Tom Holland, <i>Spider-Man: Homecoming</i><br />Robert Pattinson, <i>Good Time</i><br />James Franco, <i>The Disaster Artist</i><br />Andy Serkis, <i>War for the Planet of the Apes</i><br />Thomas Jane, <i>1922</i><br />Jeremy Renner, <i>Wind River</i>Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-46887308103465550722020-06-23T21:03:54.128-05:002020-06-23T21:03:54.128-05:00You're right about First Reformed, of course. ...You're right about <i>First Reformed</i>, of course.

Which kinda makes Hawke's absence an even more egregious snub considering the nominees of 2018.<br /><br />I also still haven't seen Logan yet, which is a little sad considering how good I've heard Jackman and Stewart are in it.Adolytsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266038228108057617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-3063442705006499232020-06-23T10:39:49.290-05:002020-06-23T10:39:49.290-05:00I knew you weren't a fan of the third act.

It feels much more like thriller than horror to me. It really is worth your time.<br /><br />But seriously, this should have been Hugh Jackman's, or Ethan Hawke's.

But it was ponderous and Oldman, an actor I admire let the makeup do the acting for him. <br /><br />I had heard such effusive praise for Call Me By Your Name that I went in with tempered expectations. I was sure it couldn't possibly live up to all that hype and it didn't. I was left wondering what I'd missed because it left me cold. <br /><br />I'm not a big Washington fan in the main though I've warmed to him somewhat lately but this one did nothing for me.<br /><br />I really hope that DDL changes his mind. I'd hate to think the sour and dull Phantom Thread is his last role. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-52830374963916723422020-06-22T19:38:26.750-05:002020-06-22T19:38:26.750-05:00Hawke is probably my number two, and after Jackman...Hawke is probably my number two, and after Jackman, the biggest snub in my opinion.

I would also vouch for Tom Holland as I really loved his performance as Peter Parker while I would do the same for Chris Hemsworth for <i>Thor: Ragnarok</i>. Yet, the one performance I never saw that I want to see is Joaquin Phoenix for <i>You Were Never Really Here</i>. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
