Only seen one of those movies.

Only seen one of those movies.

Me too. I seen the IRISHMAN. I thought it was long and boring. It was meandering gangster bulls**t that has already been done to death by Scorsese.

[RCMerchant]

I'm looking forward to ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. I heard it's cartoonish. Of course- it's Tarintino. All his movies are cartoons! 

[Rev. Powell]

I've seen just about all of them. I gave my picks in my awards group: https://366weirdmovies.com/online-film-critics-society-2019-awards-with-our-votes/

Major snubs:

APOLLO 11 for Best Documentary
Adam Sandler for Best Actor

[Gabriel Knight]

Haven't seen a single one of them. It feels good!

[bob]

Full score card now.

[Alex]

I fancy watching 1917 and I can't imagine in my disney obsessed household, not watching 'Malicifent 2'. Out of the full list I've seen 'Lighthouse' (although I need to give it another watch when I can pay more attention to it), 'The Rise of Skywalker' (seems odd to me that it should be up for an award for its soundtrack but there you go) and 'Joker' which I thought was ok, but failed to live up to the hype (don't they all though). I suspect at some point I'll watch Once Upon A Time In Hollywood although I have no real urge to. Scorsese feels like a played out record and the Irishman just doesn't appeal to me.

I am sure they are all worthy films, they just don't appeal to my tastes.

out of everything nominated in every category ...... I've only seen 1 film

Bob, I heard a rumour that this year Bucky Larson is up for a special Oscar for the best film ever made ever!  

[Gabriel Knight]

Stop mentioning BUCKY LARSON or I'll have to watch it.

[Alex]

Stop mentioning BUCKY LARSON or I'll have to watch it.

You mean you haven't already??? For shame!

[chainsaw midget]

This is BAD Movies.org.  Not GOOD Movies.  We don't watch Oscar nominees here!




...seriously though, I haven't seen a single movie mentioned here.

It could be worse. Imagine if the person you respected the most in this world was the one to present the award and they sent you an invite to attend with them.
