Ezen Baklattan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Wow, lots of surprises in there, especially zero support for The Martian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Entire nominations were I think kinda off-kilter LOL. They love Mirren evidently and Trumbo. Those nominations for Best Ensemble tho, like WTF??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Those are simultaneously unexpected and the most boring nominations possible, except for Michael Shannon maybe. Edited December 9, 2015 by Jake Gittes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 if we follow that the oscar winners usually win sag then I guess mark rylance is winning supporting actor? I thought it was keaton vs. stallone buuuuut... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Some thoughts: Surprised Beasts of No Nation still managed to have hype. No Martian was a big shocker, this hurts Damon's chances. He's still third and likely but no longer locked. Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton cancelled each other out and caused a split, will be interesting to see how they play in Oscar nominations. Trumbo has a lot of support, don't be surprised if Mirren takes the fifth spot at the Oscars. I'll be surprised if Supporting Actor gets 3 or more right. With Hateful Eight not being screened, that will knock someone out. Michael Shannon has little chance of a nomination and who knows how much of a chance Elba has. Bale is a wildcard here.

CoolioD1 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I hope elba pulls out a nomination. he's fucking electric in beasts even if the movie didn't really stick with me. I haven't seen many big contenders but that's gotta be my favourite in that category so far. A little disappointed Attah couldn't find his way to an individual nod even though they found room for Depp's weak work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 If I had to guess winners: Spotlight Leo DiCaprio Saoirse Ronan Mark Rylance Rooney Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Here's a key statistic: ever since the awards started, only one BP winner missed a nomination (Braveheart) and it was the first year. Spotlight's getting closer and closer to being locked for BP IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 i think helen mirren getting nominated for a movie with crappy reviews from april and sarah silverman getting nominated for some random sundance indie nobody actually watched proves that in the industry no1curr about charlize theron and you guys are silly, like I was saying earlier.

The Hateful Eight is the only thing I can see beating Spotlight now, there's basically no idea as to why The Martian got snubbed. Still on board for Director, Screenplay, and a Sound win, but that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Important to note that Hateful Eight is this year's Django/Wolf/Selma, so absolutely no one from SAG saw it. Any nom for Leigh, and even SLJ/Goggins/Ensemble, are still on the table. But what an absolutely bizarre field. Only got 1/5 in Supporting Actor. Only 3/5 in Ensemble (missed on Martian and Brooklyn). Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of all of these choices, but I am please with how eclectic and out of left field they sorta are. Jake kinda echoed my sentiments in saying they're boring in a way but exciting at the same time. Also, Michael Shannon's performance and 99 Homes in general turns into a schlockly TV B-movie for the third act. Too bad, because the first two thirds of that movie is spectacular, and Shannon is as good as anyone else this year.
