@slambros Proud of the Sing Street / Edge of Seventeen love, you magnificent beast
Sing Street is one of my favorites of the year regardless. I didn't actually see The Edge of Seventeen, but a family member saw it on my behalf, and even though the family member usually dislikes the art-inclined films, the family member actually liked it, so I felt comfortable giving it the nominations that it supposedly deserved! I'm sure I would have liked it too.

(Disclaimer- Some of the films on the list are films that I didn't actually see, but ones that I wanted to support with nominations here and there. Some categories' nominations, such as Best Picture, are entirely derived of films that I actually saw, and, of course, if I actually saw the movie, the chances of me deciding to give it other nominations went way up (a.k.a why Florence Foster Jenkins has so many nominations). Movies that I wish to have seen but couldn't include Arrival, Kubo and the Two Strings, Lion, Deepwater Horizon, Moana, The Nice Guys, and The BFG.)
(And I never actually saw any of those documentaries, miniseries / TV movies, and foreign films with the exception of The Wave, so I based that on what I wanted to support.)

Bridges: When he's sitting across the bank with Gil Birmingham while waiting for the hypothetical robbery to happen.

I know it's an opinion that's in the minority, but I thought Meryl Streep did a wonderful job in Florence Foster Jenkins and really does deserve this nomination. It must have been hard to deliberately sing bad and off key!
If I had actually seen Arrival then I probably would have liked Amy Adams's performance as well. I wanted to and I almost did but I just couldn't get to it in time!
Emma Stone in La La Land was great too!
-
Sing Street was robbed. All those good songs with no Oscars to show for it. Sing Street would've gotten something if La La Land wasn't in the mix, for sure.

Ok. On phone but there's definitely a mix of great and "it's fine I guess" reactions. Thought it was bad because distributor dropped it a week ago. Guess Harvey just crazy. Think people are too quick to crown buzz that never materializes at Sundance.
So it's not releasing on January 22nd? (Come to think of it, that's today...)
-
If the January 22nd, 2017 release date on Wind River's Google page is anything to go by, Wind River is probably releasing way too early anyways.

Gotta get my ballot in soon, but in the meantime, here's one more...
For Your Consideration!
Little Men
Best Picture
Best Ensemble
Best Supporting Actress (Paulina García)
Best Original Screenplay

Little Men is a really good film that premiered at last year's Sundance festival and it's available on Netflix! Definitely worth watching and considering!

Thanks to Hidden Figures' success at the box office as of late, I think it's got more of a chance at a nomination.
When it comes to box office, Hidden Figures certainly displayed it's Hidden Figures in terms of cash. (I'm sorry, the joke was too good to pass up.)
-
Kelly Fremon Craig deserved it too!

Just because. The Oscars saw that it was based on an unproduced play.
It certainly shakes up the competition!

I was surprised to see La La Land win for score at the Globes because when you think about it, most of the music borrows from the songs.

Loved Brie Larson's face when she had to read off Casey Messfleck's name.
Still gagging at Meryl dragging Trump and the look of the pressed uglies (the white demons) who voted for him.
Living for Naomi Harris when Tom WhiteDemonston was doing his self-righteous (white demon syndrome) speech.
Truly iconic.
Well, that's one way to react to somebody else's opinions.

I will be so pissed if Deadpool gets nominated, It is not even my 3rd favorite superhero film of the year!
I know right? In my opinion, if it's gotta be a franchise/superhero film, let it be Doctor Strange, or Fantastic Beasts, or Rogue One, or The Jungle Book, or even Civil War for that matter.
(I say this as a person that doesn't care for raunchiness that much. For those that do, Deadpool's successes are probably substantial.)

I saw that recently, and that fim truly has some sights to behold imo! Very imaginative moments for sure, especially the part when the boat rises from beneath the ocean.

I feel like Moonlight beating out Manchester for Best Drama at the Globes was significant. I'm just not sure how significant.

I think he's getting nominated and Lucas Hedges is getting shut out, unfortunately.
Yeah, I think Johnson is getting nominated for sure now, but someone is getting shut out for sure now. This is quite the shake up!
Best Animated Feature - 2017
in And The Winner Is...
Posted · Edited by slambros
Cars 3 - I really think it's going to be extremely good, good enough to deserve the nomination.
Coco - Original Pixar, enough said.
Loving Vincent - It is the world's first feature film entirely painted, that alone is a feat in its own right.
The Story of Ferdinand - I'm thinking it surprises. The source material provides good opportunity.
The Thousand Miles - The Illusionist released seven years after The Triplets of Belleville, so I think this one will release seven years after The Illusionist. This guy has yet to fail, so I'm thinking he'll get a nomination.
I have this pressing feeling that Mary and the Witch's Flower is either a ways off or not good enough. Either would be a shame though.
