The 2020 Oscar race has begun and it's a momentous one for comic book fans as Joker leads the pack with 11 nominations, including Best Picture.
If you need a refresher on which films earned the Academy's recognition, the Best Picture nominees for the 2020 Oscars are:
•Joker
•1917
READ THE REVIEW: "Joker isn’t just an awesome comic book movie, it’s an awesome movie, period. It offers no easy answers to the unsettling questions it raises about a cruel society in decline. Joaquin Phoenix’s fully committed performance and Todd Phillips’ masterful albeit loose reinvention of the DC source material make Joker a film that should l...
READ THE REVIEW: "1917 is an expertly crafted and emotionally exhausting thrill-ride behind enemy lines. Gloriously shot, deftly paced, and striking in its gruesome recreation of the time and place, Sam Mendes’ 1917 wisely never loses sight of the smaller, intimate elements in a fast-paced story with immense scale and action. 1917 firmly places the...
READ THE REVIEW: "Parasite is a film that sneaks up on you. The first hour is a dark screwball comedy that’s filled with funny characters and silly situations. Then a sudden about-turn changes everything that’s come before, and funny becomes serious, before just as quickly segueing into tragedy. There are no heroes and no villains in this story. In...
READ THE REVIEW: "Martin Scorsese’s revisionist take on the gangster genre he helped define is a story of epic proportions that benefits from subtly brilliant special effects and three knock-out performances from Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino. The master filmmaker has made an introspective, thoughtful, even somber film that manages to be...
READ THE REVIEW: "Gerwig mostly plays it safe with this adaptation but a stellar cast and her impressive directorial eye mean that it's a total joy to watch. Ronan, Pugh, and Chalamet are standouts in an impressive lineup, and Gerwig once again marks herself out as a contemporary powerhouse. Those looking for a radical departure from the source mat...
READ THE REVIEW: "The concept of a kid’s imaginary friend being Adolf Hitler is as unpalatable as it is potentially funny, and every last laugh is wrung from the scenario before the film gets serious. And make no mistake, when the laughter stops, Jojo Rabbit is filled with genuine horror. Taika Waititi nevertheless strikes just the right balance be...
READ THE REVIEW: "Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson give their all to Marriage Story, a smart exploration of the emotional intricacies of divorce and how they can rip love to shreds. As characters, they’re a little too extraordinary in their careers to be as relatable as the film wants them to be, but that doesn’t get in the way of the sheer power...
READ THE REVIEW: "Quentin Tarantino doesn’t quite deliver a grand slam with his penultimate feature film Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, a languid but interesting exploration of a particular time and place and a loving ode to the pop culture that informed his particular sensibilities as an artist. But it also doesn’t always land as viscerally or e...
READ THE REVIEW: "Like a race car without an engine, Ford v Ferrari looks good on the surface, but fails to motor for its 150-minutes. There’s fun to be had watching the Ford executives clash, and the driving scenes are shot with real artistry and skill, but they’re interspersed with scenes of true inertia; of Ken Miles listening to the radio while fixing his car, or having yet another argument with his wife. So while Le Mans might be the most exciting race on the planet – as we’re told over and over again, ad infinitum – a film about that race is a very different proposition, with Ford v Ferrari lacking urgency and thrills, and instead simply chugging along in underwhelming fashion."
