2019 Films and Oscars - Movies & TV - Forums : Best Ever Albums

Hayden

Not 100% sure where I should post this, but moving forward the Sound Mixing and Sound Editing categories at the Oscars will be merged into 'Best Sound'. Not sold on the idea, but I can't say I didn't see it coming. They're different parts of the post process... most years the two awards have gone to different films.

There's also some new rules about score, particularly the ones that made Jonny Greenwood's There Will Be Blood score ineligible.

Well, 2020 Films And Oscars Thread would be the ideal place but it hasn't been started yet. Maybe the time is right to start the thread? Considering all the Oscar changes due to coronavirus, some notable releases (recently Da 5 Bloods), and upcoming releases (Tenet and some Tommy Wiseau shark movie), maybe there are enough conversation pieces to start it?

But anyway, combining sound editing and sound mixing seems similar to how makeup and hairstyling are combined. I don't think it's unfair. Makeup artists and hair stylists have very different jobs, but the same goal of making actors/actresses look good. And makeup artists and hair stylists each get their own Oscar statue. Sound editors and sound mixers have the same end goal. I understand the differences between the two trades, but as long both the sound editor and the sound mixer get their own statue, I don't see a problem with it.

I would love for Elizabeth Moss to at least be nominated for her Shirley performance (or her Invisible Man one), but I’m waiting to finish Da 5 Bloods until I can watch it again with Gowi <3

What's your favorite still frame from a film from 2019?

Personally, for me:

There's at least 15-20 shots from The Last Black Man In San Fransisco that I think are phenomenal, so it's probably something from that. Otherwise,

(and there's also a scene in that movie regarding a mirror that's also an 'oh shit' sorta shot)

I was about to say, basically every frame from Portrait of a Lady on Fire is probably my pick

Individual stills or shots? For shots, would be the final scene from Genese, among the best final shots I saw all decade but completely banal without the context of the rest of the movie. In terms of individual stills, it's probably this one in the tunnel during Long Day's Journey into Night where Lou is watching his lover from the wet car window... can't seem to find it anywhere though Sad

I know this isn't the one, but it's kinda close.

I can't find an image of it, but there's a shot near the end of The Lighthouse where Willem Dafoe is standing over Robert Pattinson naked and his entire body is lit up. It's a beautiful shot, blew me away when I saw it.
