Nothing says "this is america" like preaching to us about slavery, while simultaneously profiting off of it via advertising

Sorry, not a film genius, but how do we as viewers discern how great the editing of a film is while watching it?

I can tell when its bad. As far as what seperates good from great, I imagine the average viewer probably can't.
My guess would be that people in the industry would know how something was shot originally.

Well I'm no where near informed on this honestly but if your movie is a 3 and a half hour movie that had huge lulls there's a lot that should have been cut out.

If a movie feels choppy it either has a writing or editing problem or both.

Something that seems strange about 1917, due to the nature of the film (long shots, trying to make it seem like one shot)
I feel like it should either be winning cinematography or editing but not both.

I'm actually pretty happy that Ray Ramano is getting real acting roles, he's a surprisingly good dramatic actor IMO.

I saw that Scar Jo was nominated for both leading and supporting roles same year. Is that the first time that's ever happened?

A lot of it is also about shot selection. How do you choose the best angle of a scene, show the reaction of one character when another is talking, cut a conversation so it feels like it flows naturally, etc.

They should be more careful with the scenes they choose honestly. Not everyone watching will have seen all the films yet.

Long overdue win for Laura Dern, especially after being passed over for The Last Jedi.

Jamie Foxx did it for sure. I'm sure others.

Honestly, that VFX win was the biggest WTF of the night so far.

The award is strictly for the VFX, regardless of the quality of the movie itself.

1917 was probably the least deserving of those nominees. Personally, I'd have given it to Lion King.

Are you just a troll?

It's kind of your own fault at this point if the Oscars spoils it for you.

Nope, I know the same happened with Kate Winslet.

If you aren't trolling then I sort of respect how ridiculous this post is.

Its the celebration of the past year of films. Should the NFL hide the score when they show all the best plays of the year at the end of the season just in case you missed that game?

VFX is always such a weird category. Personally I wouldn't have given it to Lion King as they really didn't do anything that innovative or unique, it was simply an animated film.

I love the work that was done on TROS, and I'm still amazed how flawless the massive amount of VFX in Endgame was.

Like Leo's action in the poolside scene at the end of OUATIH. That caught me totally off-guard when I saw it in the theater and I would have been upset if I had been robbed of the surprise.

I mean it wasn't spoiled for me but this is stupid. They literally have hours of footage to choose from. Why pick a game changing scene? Makes zero sense.
