At least Pixar can take solace in that their non Oscar contender this year was still a hell of a lot better than Tom McCarthy's

Too bad Creed's chances at a BP nomination seem to be very low 

[Jake Gittes]

They've got time to improve. Though I actually hate to say this but Creed will be much easier for WB to push than Fury Road.

No doubt. Still incredible to me that WB didn't know what they had with Creed. Really tough year at the Brothers.

I'll do more later-I really have no clue what to predict for supporting actress at the moment.

[RichWS]

I've seen 7 of the Gurus o' Gold top 10. (I'm seeing BROOKLYN this week.). My vote would go to ROOM, no question. 

[Impact]

A few weeks ago when I saw Spectre there was a poster for Room and a friend went "hey they are releasing that film the internet is obsessed with" we both had a huge laugh then. When I said its a Oscar frontrunner it made the convo even MORE amusing.

....have you seen it?

[CoolioD1]

I saw it. which of course made impact's post even MOOOOORE amusing. I found a huge laugh then.

[Tau Ceti]

What's going wrong with Room? I loved it and haven't met a person who doesn't after seeing it. But it looks like a failure to launch in platform release. Trouble connecting because of subject matter?

No I have not seen the 2015 film named Room or the one the internet is obsessed with either! (I don't even think the 2015 version has opened here!)

I'm guessing it has more to do with A24's light expansion over the past month causing moviegoers to lose interest rather than any bad word-of-mouth.

[Impact]

Well I see Scott taking home the DGA-but the PGA on the other hand I'm not sure what will win, of course we will have to wait for the nominees first. But I can see Revenant or Spotlight winning the PGA. Martian might take home the SAG.
