I think I like with G is wearing.
I really, really wanted to go see "A Star Is Born," when I first heard about it. Lady Gaga, I couldn't give a fig about. But, I really like Bradley Cooper. He's worked really hard on his career and I'm glad this movie is a success for him. But, as I watched more and more press & promos for the movie, the less & less I wanted to go see it. I felt like I was being TOLD how much I will like it, and have no choice in the matter.Then Lady Gaga started acting weird about all the praise she was receiving as an actress. All effusively humble, in a way I felt was so precious & phony, (she's not that great of an actress,
) that I stopped wanting to see the movie at all.

On the other hand, I hadn't heard anything about "Bohemian Rhapsody," till I saw a promo for it during the Emmys party. It sounded interesting, but I promptly forgot about it, till it won Best Picture and Rami won Best Actor at the Golden Globes. Then I was really curious to see it.

Hmm, she usually doesn't wear such a dark color.
Imzadi, I do understand why people like Bohemian Rhapsody but I'm just not a fan. I rarely care much for biopics though.
As for seeing these movies, I'll say the same for A Star Is Born. See it! I got no sense of Lady Gaga being in any way annoying.
I thought Bohemian Rhapsody was good. I got bored midway through A Star is Born. It was just okay for me. They are the only movies I saw.My DD 17 just got back from seeing Vice. We have now seen all 8 best picture nominations! We are excited! Bohemian Rhapsody or A Star is Born are my favorites. Both of us were bored by Roma.
I plan on being here! I’ve done a lot of traveling recently which helped me watch a bunch of the nominated movies in flight! It’ll be one of the first years I’ve seen more than the animated movies![]()

Like you, I lost interest in watching A Star in Born as time went on because I felt like it was overplayed in the media. However, I finally watched it last night and I loved it!
My TV listings say red carpet doesn't start until 530 here MST, but I'm going to go check.
I love BoRhap also! Watched it twice. Surprised by a couple of hits they had, thought they were much older songs! They did such a variety. I have heard Green Book is supposed to win, the only one I haven't seen. Did not make it all the way through Roma though. I thought The Favourite was so good, but I'm a big fan of the two younger actresses.
I'm watching Queen...then I'm watching something else.The best stuff will be on-line before tomorrow morning. Y'all have fun though

You could join me watching the Canadian Women's National Curling Championship (called the Scott Tournament of Hearts). The final starts at 3:00 MST and we could do a live thread if you're up for it.
How about you @RedAngie - are you in?
I love Constance Wu but I really don't like yellow on the red carpet.
