Awards Oscars Contest 2020

[Riku]

Thank you all for participating in this event! This was a record year of participants and I'm glad about that! Thanks for the production and marketing team of Joker for such an excellent poster to use as banner material to lure curious people in!

But now for the most important part - winners!


On shared 3rd place (16 points) - @xi0 and @FaustXIII. Congratulations on good effort!

On shared 2nd place (18 points) - the formidable film lover @Eigengrau and none other than the mysterious legend himself @George Monkey. Again so close! Maybe next year is the year of this DiCaprio of MH. Congratulations for both for the extremely even and valiant fight for the throne.

*drumroll*

And on 1st place (18 points) - with the tie-breaker advantage from the Big 5, the many time nominee and second time winner -
Congratulations to my Swedish-dupe account @Organizized

I think I'll call it a night now and check in later when bladder certainly wakes me.

I hope for no more upsets...oh wait, incoming...

 

[Organizized]

Love that Em shows up to the Oscars 18 years after his Best Song win like "yo, this is still one of the best entries in this category ever". He wasn't even there when he won ffs, cool to see him get that standing ovation.

And ah, got another wrong.

 

[Riku]

Oh this was a surprise. Makes Ford v Ferrari even more likely to win best editing.

 

[Organizized]

Yeah feeling confident in my FvF editing pick now. Unless people just live Parasite enough to vote for it everywhere it's nommed.

Will this be one of those rare Sound split years?

 

[Riku]

Oh, since when was the last split? These usually go hand-in-hand.

 

[Organizized]

Ah well got one of them right at least! Kinda rare that they split but maybe the Academy actually is educating itself on the difference between the two lately.

 

[Riku]

I kinda hoped Ad Astra would have won. It had a finnish foley artist legend Kossi working on it.

 

[Organizized]

God I love Randy Newman and shun his haters whenever I can but this song being nominated is a joke...

 

[Eigengrau]

Got my first wrong pick with Sound Editing, but scored Sound Mixing. Up to 12/13 as of now.

How's the monkey doing?

 

[Riku]

How's the monkey doing?

That's a secret. Something to wait for with actual excitement tonight.

 

[Organizized]

Lin's face whenever anyone in the world raps is priceless.

Fun little recap I thought.

Unlike this category.

I mean, Deakins winning is exciting and all but it's so set in stone.

 

[Riku]

God or whatever greater power, bless this man.

 

[Organizized]

God that is a cool old man though.

 

[Riku]

Focus-puller mentioned! Operators! Gaffer!

Thank you Deakins for existing.

--- Double Post Merged, Feb 10, 2020, Original Post Date: Feb 10, 2020 ---

First time I heard about how 1917 was shot, I literally said that the focus-puller is the true hero of the film.

 

[Organizized]

Well, another correct. Parasite deserved this though. FvF was flashy and all but I prefer a tightly edited story over flashy fast clips.

Son woke up again, what did the president guy say?

 

[Riku]

They gonna open a Academy's film history museum in Hollywood.

 

[Organizized]

Oh. Okay.

I'm missing Hanks...

This is the song which might pull an upset. And win Cynthia Errivo and EGOT (did not know this when making my predix- that could very well be something the voters want to happen).

 

[Riku]

Had I known the EGOT status, I would have gone for this as well (and out of the options, it is my favorite).

 

[Organizized]

Damn, I think this one will take the prize tbh. Predicted Elton and Bernie and they're still favorite to win I think but this is such an Oscar-y song..

 

[Riku]

Oh, based on the audience reaction, Stand Out winning is sure now.
