Black panther just stands out amongst those titles as not deserving a nomination, it's a decent comic book film and an OK overall movie.

Nice to see Blackkkclansman up there, was very pleasantly surprised how good it was.

Haven't seen the others in best picture category.

black panther is the only film i've seen in the best picture category but i can still say with confidence that it doesn't deserve to win.

i can understand why its there - a lot of people see it as culturally significant - as a film its 'good' at best but not even close to being the best superhero movie last year, never mind best movie overall.

Completely agree. Black Panther was fine... and that's about as good as it gets. Soundtrack was certainly a worthy nomination though.

Malek or Bale for best actor, Close for best actress...

As for Black Panther, it shouldn't even be there but I guess we know why it is: #OscarsSoWhite #OscarsSoWoke They don't want another repeat of 2015 now....

I think BP is there less as a direct response to racial imbalance, and more due to being part of a push for the Oscars to remain culturally relevant.

What is the biggest awards show for, if it fails to even acknowledge the biggest cultural event movies in a meaningful category?

I am going to stamp my feet and shout and scream if Stan Lee doesnt get some sort of honorary award or posthumous lifetime achievement thing or something.

Just saw The Favourite today, not sure how Olivia Coleman gets the Best Actress nomination and Emma Stone and Rachel Weiss gets supporting actress? To me they all played an equal part in the movie, each with similar screen time and presence and storyline. If anything I would say Emma Stone has the main storyline in the whole film. The movie revolves around her plot to be the favourite in the eye of the Coleman.

Haven't seen that yet. Really wanted to, didn't manage to get to the cinema.
If watching at home try and have the volume up. The sound effects are amazing, adds to how crazy all of it is when you hear the metal nuts and bolts trying to tear apart in some scenes.

Not even close to "Best Marvel MCU Superhero Movie of 2018" let alone best picture.

As to the Favourite, I don't know much about the Best Actress nominees but maybe Weiss and Stone have pushed to be in the Best Supporting Actress because the producers think there is a better chance of them winning in that category and Olivia Colemans quirkiness gives her a better tilt at Best Actress. I think there is a bit of gaming around which awards to push for nomination in.

Subtlety isn't their middle name.

Coleman has done remarkably well to go from been drunk in a Croydon kid's ball pit with a snake to Oscar nominated. Well done.

Was this a role or just an unfortunate youtube video she'd rather forget about?

Haha no, one of the recent great British comedies - Peep Show. Her estranged ex husband takes their kid to an indoor kid's park, his best friend kidnapped a snake from a friend and loses it in the ball bit and Coleman's character gets drunk and passes out in a ball pit.
