So happy both Joaquin Phoenix and Leo Did Caprio were nominated. My favourites!

[Vanessa]

Joaquin Phoenix deserves that oscar. He was incredible!

What's whiny about it? Just a normal voice.

I'm happy for Joker, it's one of those films I don't think I could watch again but it's an excellent and challenging film.

I haven't seen all the nominations yet though but from the bits I've seen, it seems a bit lopsided for the most part when it comes to other films, actors and directors getting snubbed.

Just noticed Awkwafina and Taron Egerton don't have nominations either. Bizarre.

Surprised Bale wasn't nominated either.

[Tony Montana]

Glad Joker is leading the nominations. A masterpiece of a film.

Pretty good nominations. There's nothing there I think shouldn't be, and likewise there's nothing or no-one I think is missing I've not seen every movie from last year though.

[Beastie]

Taron Egerton should have been up there.

[LaLaLand]

Was Jordan Peele's "Us" released before/after last year's ceremony? Because I'm sure it's after and I'm VERY shocked Lupita didn't get a nom for her role(s) in that! She was seriously terrifyingly great as Red.

According to Oddschecker

Best Picture odds

1917 - 1/2
Parasite - 9/2
Once upon a time in Hollywood - 8/1
Joker - 9/1
The Irishman - 66/1
Jojo Rabbit - 80/1


Looks like it's between 1917 and Parasite.

I'm not sure if a foreign language film has won before, don't think so. So Parasite doesn't have history on its side. Which means 1917 wins.

[MB.]

If Roma couldn't win, Parasite won't (unfortunately)... I read a tweet saying that at least 17 members of the Academy admitted they hadn't even seen it because they didn't want to bother with subtitles

Up until a few weeks ago I was fairly confident that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood would win Best Picture, but now I can't imagine it being anything other than 1917

[LaLaLand]

Final predictions - I'm predicting/hoping for a good night for OUATIH, seeing as we're in Hollywood and the movie is a love letter to the industry/Hollywood itself, always goes down well at the Oscars.
