    I agree. But its chances have nothing to do with what we think about it. Alfonso Cuarón won the Feature Film award from the Directors Guild of America. Roma won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Picture, the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Film, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Film, and the BAFTA Award for Best Film. I think its chances are pretty high.

    I liked Roma, but didn’t love it. It seems like it will win because of the political climate we are in. It was well done and artistic but I didn’t fall in love with it.

    should win: me.

    will win: probably this roma movie you all are talking about, since the winner is usually a movie nobody likes that most people haven't heard of.

    The 2019 Oscars, not the Oscars awarding the best of 2019. That'll be the 2020 Oscars.

    77 times in the first movie, 128 times in the second, so third is going to have to be 150+, leaves no room for an actual story

    Haha I seen the second one in parts and every time I switch over to it someone getting shot in the head. :p and I can't stop watching it the realism is quite satisfying. Like I've outgrown hack and slash films because that's a bit brutal and disturbing, but blowing skull chucks all over the place is alright still, I can handle this.
