I was ready to comment on the Oscar, but to my surprise the movie The Post – The Secret War,
directed by Steven Spielberg appears among the indicas, with Meryl Streep (candidate for best actress) and participation of Tom Hanks, tells the real story about the Vietnam War and the backstage of The Washington Post in 1971, which hits the big screen on Thursday in many national (brazilian) cinemas.
Two other Oscar-nominated premieres have been Artist of the Disaster and Visages, Villages that are also national film premieres and are worth watching.
Other good surprises have been the nominations for the films “Blade Runner 2049” for art direction, photography, special effects, sound editing and sound mixing, as well as director Jordan Peele for “Run!” movie.
It was also surprising actress Mary J. Blige is the first nomination in a year in two categories: best supporting actress and best original song in “Mudbound”
Deceptions 13 nominations for “The Shape of Water” the romantic fantasy directed by Mexican Guillermo del Toro, seems very exaggerated, and the omission of the movie The King of the show, which had several indications to the Golden Globe, won only “This is me “.
Surprisingly “Dunkirk” nominations by British Christopher Nolan (eight nominations), and the independent production “Three Announcements for a Crime” (with seven).
“The Destiny of a Nation,” a political film focused on the figure of Winston Churchill, obtained six nominations, even number from the drama “Ghost Plot”, just but exaggerated.
