I should have predicted McKay over Lanthimos, but I went with my heart over my head again.
Ugh, other than Cuaron and Lee, and somewhat Cooper, these are really bad. Maybe the worst for a long time, imo.
I thought thought Farrelly's direction was just so basic like a Hallmark movie, and McKay's direction was one of the biggest problems for Vice for me because he added so many unnecessary flourishes and would cut away before a scene really built up.

Here's my hot take: I think Farrelly was better than Cooper and McKay. Yes, his direction was basic to the point of pedestrianism and I wouldn't nominate it, but it didn't at least distract from the viewing the way that McKay's over-stuffed ADD and Cooper's egotistic vanity did. |

I had predicted McKay earlier on, but I thought that the mixed reception would dampen its chances. I haven't seen the movie yet, but he clearly has a lot of support in the industry.
Lanthimos has been kind of screwed, but I always thought his movie would be a hard sell for a populist group like the DGA.

Can't comment on it in terms if they deserved it as I've only seen "Roma" and "BlacKkKlansman" from these five films.
As for the Oscar race this is certainly a setback for "The Favourite". Therefore it strengthens the chances of "Green Book".

I guess it's just the combination of both Farrelly and McKay getting it. I knew Farrelly would, but I was hoping that McKay would miss. |

Yorgos Lanthimos is this year's Martin McDonagh.

Yorgos Lanthimos is this year's Martin McDonagh. Martin McDonagh got in at DGA, though. Lanthimos likely gets in at BAFTA tomorrow, barring a surprise, and leaves at least one of these guys out. And DGA hasn't gone 5/5 with the Academy since 2009. |

On the one hand, it gets me fantasy points.
On the other, I’ll never forgive them for that Yorgos snub.

If Peter Farrelly is nominated over Yorgos Lanthimos and Barry Jenkins at the Oscars, I’m gonna be so pissed.

Figured Lanthimos would miss here. Not concerned about his chances of an Oscar nod though.

In better news, very happy to see Bo Burnham, Carlos Lopez Estrada, and Boots Riley get recognized for their debuts. I haven’t seen A Private War so I can’t comment on that but I would’ve loved to have seen Jim Cummings be recognized for Thunder Road, not that I was expecting him to be recognized.

Yorgos Lanthimos is this year's Martin McDonagh. Actually, if anyone has to be this year's McDonagh, I'm thinking the closest comparison might be Farrelly. McDonagh was thought to be safe because he got Globe, DGA and BAFTA nods for what was widely assumed to be the Best Picture frontrunner; he was eventually overtaken by an out-of-left-field passion pick (PTA) whose film missed all the guilds but surged at the last minute to hit Picture and Director thanks to an unexpected wave of #1 support. I've had Farrelly in 4th place this whole time because apparently Green Book is something that the industry has collectively decided to make happen and I see no point in being skeptical anymore, but if any of the "safe" contenders (which McDonagh was thought to be and Lanthimos never has been) gets the boot because the directing branch of the Academy decides to think outside the box and nominate an artsier alternative (like Jenkins, who makes sense as a potential PTA-type spoiler), I think Farrelly might be the one to get left out. Just to be clear, I'm not necessarily expecting that to happen. McKay is the most vulnerable one here if you ask me (and I still think he might miss out to make room for Lanthimos given the differences in the DGA and the Academy's tastes), but him getting left out wouldn't be a McDonagh-level shock given that Vice isn't getting serious BP winner talk like Three Billboards was and Green Book is. |

Peter Farrelly being an Oscar nominee is not only super bizarre, but it's totally undeserved over the potentially missing likes of Lanthimos or Jenkins.
I will say I do like all of the first feature nominees though.

The doubting of Adam McKay and "Vice" itself has been one of the most baffling thing of the season to me when it comes to people's predictions.

They have some sort of bias. |

Egoistic vanity? The movie had amazing direction. That Roy Orbison scene and *that scene* are proofs of it |

This is actually a huge blow for Black Panther. The Dark Knight got a nod here. BP being weaker than it, which didn't even make it to the final five probably speaks over how low it must be
