Current Events > I've seen all the Oscar Best Picture nominees. Here is my official ranking!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Overall I am incredibly impressed by this year's slate of films. It completely blows away last year. 2019 was a great year for films. Those complaining about a lack of diversity must have missed that a foreign language film from Korea is a frontrunner.

Here is my ranking, from best to worst.

1. 1917
2. Parasite
3. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
4. Joker
5. Marriage Story
6. Ford vs. Ferrari
7. Little Women
8. The Irishman
9. Jojo Rabbit

Some of those in the middle could easily be moved around, but both ends are very clearly defined to me.

Now I will also note that I didn't dislike any of these films. Jojo Rabbit had a lot of interesting things but a lot of it was also just dopey.

It also had an editing error that should not be in an Oscar film. When Jojo is eating dinner with his mom, she says she's not hungry, so he pulls an plate of toast towards him. In shots going back and forth between the two, that plate with toast magically appears and disappears in front of Johansson. Classic amateur editing mistake.

I saw a prediction website say that Hollywood is actually favored to win. Is that what people are expecting?

Have I been shadow banned?

Nope.

Hey, did you watch The Lighthouse?

I was expecting that to be on your list. :)

I've only seen Joker. it was pretty good

I haven't because it isn't a Best Picture nominee. I'd like to see it though.
