The Panda

Now this is an awards! AWFJ Hall of Shame Award Darren Aronovsky and all associated with MOTHER! Louis CK and all associated with I LOVE YOU,, DADDY Showbiz Sexual Tormentors: Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Brett Ratner, et al.

Obviously

I haven’t felt this way since Obama gave his goodbye speech

I’ll update the main FYC later today!

I think Logan potentially could have been a player if there weren’t so many other strong blockbuster contenders this year. I think they ultimately cannibalized any long shot chance they had.

True, we could have had this if people actually voted their opinion

Plummer missed a SAG nod but I think he gets in here. He seems like a safer bet than Stewart, a double nod or Carell (the three alternatives to Plummer)

I’m thinking 8 nods, but I could see I, Tonya or Molly’s Game sneaking in for a ninth nod

We’ll see how the televised awards start going. Oldman’s currently the front runner imo, but the fact that Darkest Hour is a non-factor in everything else hurts his chances.

You’re obviously not forced to vote for a contender in a lead or supporting category, but it’d be a waste of a vote

I still wouldn’t say The Post is any safer than the Big Sick, as it missed WGA and SAG (whereas Big Sick only missed the Globes, which is inconsequential). Molly’s Game, I, Tonya and Florida Project are on the outside looking in. You can pretty much rule Phantom Thread out of contention beyond a DDL, score and costume nod now.

I’m going to update my spreadsheet today for PGA, Eddie, Production Design, DGA and the rest of the critic circles. I’ll see how it turns out. I do reckon Florida Project is looking weaker now and Molly’s Game looks like a potential dark horse for a nom

The Big Sick’s hit DGA, PGA and WGA I think it’s getting in Post should also get in, but it’ll likely be the last spot or so and I’m going to say it doesn’t get a screenplay nod. Meryl should still get in for being meryl

I’m just saying we’re classifying actors based on which cat they’re being pushed for in Awards season

Some of that show started playing in the background when I was working on internship applications. Had to get up and leave the room.

Tele doesn't like it, therefore a good quarter of the forum hates it.

Inside Out won in 2015, at least the BOFFY (in the year of Fury Road, Creed and TFA). But Inside Out was much better than Coco. Get Out and Dunkirk have lots of love here though.

He was sending a nice message to one of the guys counting the votes after all

Exactly, I'm definitely voting for him for MVP!

MrPink said nice things to me, so he’s got my vote now.

If I was going to go with most impressive, I’d probably choose IT because an opening and total like it did was entirely unprecedented. Everything else had some precedent to it. However I couldn’t say surprising because there were a few of us that predicted it.

Ummm where’s Samson???

“Forget Netflix and Chill, Try Pure Flix and Pray” https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/04/22/style/forget-netflix-and-chill-try-pure-flix-and-pray.html?referer=https://www.google.com/ “Mr. White, who was raised a Mennonite in rural Kansas, saw just one secular film in a theater before he turned 18. (“The Mennonites make the Mormons look like a pack of Hell’s Angels,” he said.) A friend’s parents took him to see “Grease” and “when Olivia Newton-John came out in black tights and I thought for sure I was going to hell,” he said. This was enough to persuade him to drop out of Bible college after one year. His goal was to serve God through acting, but then he became interested in production, too. Pure Flix has made hundreds of films (“Do You Believe?” starring Cybill Shepherd), sitcoms, serialized dramas and web series including “On the White Track,” which stars Mr. White and his wife.”

So, Fox cancels then sells American Idol only to replace it with an American Idol Knock-Off called The Four: Battle for Stardom???

Haters gonna hate hate hate
