filmlover Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I really doubt they'll touch things like Furious 7 or especially Fifty Shades of Grey in the Song category. This is the Oscars we're talking about. The latter reminds me of when the Burlesque song (which won the Globe) missed 5 years ago, the reason most likely being because they didn't want to make the film in question an Oscar-nominated movie.

I guess we'll see if the Academy will look past the fact that the series, while respected now, is still considered "trashy" (they certainly have a history of overlooking films that have an air of trashiness to them, which is probably what could be attributed to Gone Girl's total shutout besides Pike last year).

WrathOfHan Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Pete Hammond is reporting a lot of Academy members he's talked to love Sicario: http://deadline.com/2016/01/pga-sicario-ex-machina-star-wars-oscars-1201676261/ Although it hasn’t had as high a profile this season as some other contenders which have been dominating early critics group voting, Lionsgate’s Sicario is not at all surprising in my view. It is the most mentioned movie I hear from Academy voters, particularly men and this just validates the chatter on the circuit. I fully expect it to land a Best Picture Oscar nomination and possibly one for director Denis Villeneuve as well as below the line categories. So far with nominations from the Art Directors and Editors guilds this week Sicario is having a very strong run as the race turns to the Guild voters who are traditionally far more indicative of where the Oscar winds may be blowing.

filmlover Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sicario is not a movie I want to revisit anytime soon but I would love it if it snuck in. I'm now predicting Benecio will get in Supporting btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The first two thirds of the movie are definitely strongest, IMO, which edges it out for 2nd in my list this year. (Making #1 Tripledent Gum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think between the female driven films (Brooklyn, Carol, Room) that Room makes it into the BP field. Seems like it has more passion behind it than Brooklyn or Carol, despite Brooklyn's PGA nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Post-PGA nominations: The Big Short Bridge of Spies Mad Max: Fury Road The Martian The Revenant Room Sicario Spotlight Star Wars: The Force Awakens Straight Outta Compton Bridge of Spies will sneak in, if the Berg's War Horse could make it in with the current system in 2011 then BOS will so the same. Room will win out between the female-driven pics, see why above. Sicario's PGA, BFCA and Eddie nominations propel it in the race, and Straight Outta Compton is keeping it's momentum from the SAG noms to the PGA noms, plus it was a box office hit. Star Wars missed PGA, but the Academy in the past has always nominated the highest-grossing picture domestically for Best Picture, and I think being a gigantic cross-generational event puts it in a better position than something like Skyfall and Deathly Hallows Pt. 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sasha Stone might go cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs when it comes to pushing her faves, but she's as good as any at analyzing trends and breaking down the state of the race. http://www.awardsdaily.com/2016/01/05/the-state-of-the-race-because-sometimes-the-pundits-get-it-wrong/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
