I’m pleased that it’s winning these awards, because I suspect that most people figure it was all done with green screen and special effects. After we saw it, my sister said that they obviously added the explosions after it was filmed. I told her no, what we saw was what was filmed - including the explosions. I remember way back when Sherlock was on, the cinematography and special effects people said that they tried to do everything on camera, rather that adding it later digitally.
Speaking of Sherlock, they did the “one long shot” filming in the very first episode. The camera followed John and Sherlock go from the hallway set of 221B, and then out the real front door. The camera then goes up so we see them go down the street in a taxi. That was done seamlessly.

I was reading some twitter comments from people losing their minds that 1917 won best film. And quite a few are outraged that Jojo Rabbit was even a movie! Clearly, those people haven’t seen it and don’t really know what it’s about, but that doesn’t stop them from posting nonsense comments for the world to see.

It’s too bad Benedict wasn’t there, too. Sam Mendes thanked each of the big-name actors:

I'm glad it is winning boatloads of awards too, mllemass. I had the opportunity to see it again the other day and it gave me a chance to really focus on not only some of the astounding technical and visual aspects of the film, but also on the acting, especially the performances of the two young leads. They were great!
And of course the seasoned "pros" in the cameo roles were inserted into the story to be the "cherries" on top! Even minor roles play their part in adding to the overall effect of the film's story.
To quote from the Wikipedia entry on "Bit Parts"...
"Bit parts are often significant in the story line and sometimes pivotal, as in Jack Albertson's role as a postal worker in the 1947 feature film Miracle on 34th Street. Some characters with bit parts attract significant attention. Konstantin Stanislavski remarked that "there are no small parts, only small actors."
Actors such as BC utilise their talents to bring a trueness to even the smallest of roles. In a way, BC's character was the lynchpin for the whole story's journey, to me. His reaction had to carry the gravitas of the quest for the young soldier and also support the nuance of the theme of the film. And IMO he did this perfectly!
