Bohemian Rhapsody 2019 Oscar Nominations: Best Picture Best Actor - Rami Malek Sound Editing Sound Mixing Film Editing link |
| pholidota 22.01.2019 14:56 |
Who would have thought. I would have guessed the film would have gotten nominations for sound mixing and editing and maybe best actor. If that "Best Picture" nomination list is to be believed, then last year was a bad movie year, though. |

Soon, this will all be over and we can consign it to the bad memories section...... |

Holy shit, the film's on a roll. If anyone said it would be Oscar-worthy a year ago, we would have pointed fingers and laughed maniacally. And here we are (born to be kings...). I expect it to get something in the sound categories, but it will definitely not get best picture or actor. But maybe... |

Bohemian Rhapsody was probably more difficult to make than some of the other nominated films because so many details had to be recreated, not improvised. I’m surprised it wasn’t nominated for makeup and hair! But I’m really glad that it got nominated for Best Film and Best Actor. |
| bucsateflon 22.01.2019 19:23 |
I believe "A Star Is Born" has no chance at best picture, because it uses a non-actor in a main role. |
| pholidota 22.01.2019 19:25 |
Ben Hardy's never-changing Rick Parfitt wig was probably enough for the film not to get nominated for hair & make-up. |
| Donna13 22.01.2019 19:53 |
Ha! It’s true that the “Roger hair” was never quite as good as the real thing. But the “Freddie nose” was really an achievement! |

Bonkers that it is nominated for best film, isn't it! And I loved it, yet still say this (AMBIVALENCE as there are aspects I hated, yet I found it so very poignant, moving and uplifting, I love it anyway.) Acting and sound categories it deserves though I feel, especially this year. However, if anyone had said the film being made about Freddie/Queen would receive even one Oscar nomination for anything, I reckon pretty much everyone would have taken that, whatever the film! No? I wonder if Rami has a chance....? I've only seen Green Book of the other acting nominees and can't see Viggo winning. I'd love Willem Dafoe to win though in a general sense. Not seen his film so no idea how he is in it, but he is always great in everything I have seen him in. But, yeah, Rami was great in my book and the best performance I've seen this year... |
| Jimmy Dean 23.01.2019 03:02 |
Willem already has an Oscar so I imagine you mean you’d like him to win again, in the general sense? (Platoon) |
| dudeofqueen 23.01.2019 09:27 |
Clearly a very poor year for Hollywood in the shadow of the Weinstein allegations. |

When it comes to oscar nominations I'm afraid they are no longer about quality. There are diversity boxes to be ticked. |
| Sweetandtenderhooligan 24.01.2019 16:58 |
I think Rami has a good chance and he did work very hard on the role, but Joe Mazzello's wigs are the real winners here. |
| Donna13 24.01.2019 19:46 |
The curly poofy “John wig” was perfection. |

Rami deserves to be nominated and to win, but the itself? definitely not |

Ii guess you shouldnt be queen addict to really enjoy the movie. While i was completly not touched during the movie.. the rest was.. I expect them to do better in the sequel. Ending with mother love will bring a tear. |

I think the critics are trying their best to do their own job. It is their job to say what is artistic or not artistic, so that the dumb masses can follow their advice. But what a thankless job it is, because art or entertainment - in any form - has a different impact on each individual. If you compare critics’ scores and audience scores for movies, there is sometimes agreement and sometimes a divergence. But just because a movie gets top scores by critics and audiences, it doesn’t mean that every individual will like the movie. Also, just because something is “artistic” and original doesn’t make it enjoyable. There is a trend in “Hollywood” towards the creepy, odd, scary, grotesque, morbid, and dystopian. These movies make you glad to leave the theater and realize that your life is so calm and normal in comparison: you don’t have someone pointing a gun at you or trying to blow up your car or drop you off the edge of a cliff. Some parts of Bohemian Rhapsody are a bit cliche, but so is Christmas, newborn babies, weddings, dances, a beautiful sunset, a cute cat. It’s all been seen and done before, but those things still bring joy to our human existence. If the movie is not a critic’s idea of best movie material, I can understand that. But why go overboard with the negativity? |

Well, queen and critics... |

I'm astounded this somehow got a Best Picture nomination. No. Absolute no. I'm going to be honest, the first time I saw the film, although I did enjoy the experience, I realized it was hot garbage of a film. I don't study film, I'm not a film buff or anything. But even to someone as uneducated about the art of film making as me could tell this movie blows as an actual movie. Every single expected cliche of a "band movie" was in there (the most laughable to me being the 'dad disapproves' cliche). I told all my friends "the movie sucks, but go see it" simply because it got me to start looking into Queen's music more. But God the movie sucks ass as a film. Also, was anyone else really pissed off by the "nudge nudge" quality of the Mike Meyers cameo? It was just...so obnoxious. The way the scene was framed when he was saying "kids will never be head-banging in their cars to this music", just slowly zooming in on him, was like "HEY GUYS GET IT?!?!?! REMEMBER 'WAYNES WORLD'?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAH ITS THE SAME GUY!!!!!!!' Took me out of the film entirely. Also, Rami is clearly very passionate about Freddie and his role in the film, but...idk I'm sorry his Freddie seemed so off. His voice was off, he made Freddie sound and act like he was...I guess "slow" is the right word whenever he spoke. I didn't get it. I went and watched interviews with Freddie afterward and saw no correlation between the actual Freddie and the way he spoke and the "Rami-Freddie" Idk random ramblings. I mean, I wont be surprised if Rami wins and it'll be great press for Freddie and Queen which will be worth it. But Best Picture is a definite no. |

But Best Picture is a definite no.Honestly, I didn't and don't mind the Mike Myers cameo. I actually nthought it was pretty good, funny even. Then again, I became a Freddie and Queen fan in big part because of Wanyes World. Gotta say, I'm surprised every time the movie wins an award. I don't feel like it's the best biopic ever, I'd actually put many other biopics before it. I didn't get the impression Rami tried to make Freddie slow. One thing that did stand out to me was the lack of 'fun'. |

-Sorry about the triple post, no clue what the hell happened there...- Oh I didn't mean to imply Rami meant to make Freddie sound 'slow', moreso the combination of the way Rami speaks and then the voice he used plus some of the mannerisms he tried to add, for whatever reason, came off that way at times. |
