Cmasterclay Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Huh, I'm actually more compelled by this year's (potential) lineup than last year's, at least at this point. We'll see how it all turns out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'm having more and more doubt that Silence will even release this year, to be honest... It's been awhile since we've heard any news at all... I guess it would make a prime 2017 candidate against Dunkirk, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Short didn't get a release date until September and it ended being one of the biggest contenders last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 http://www.vulture.com/2016/08/early-oscar-predictions-c-v-r.html Quote Still, if voters crave a fizzy counterbalance to Manchester, I think they’ll flock to Florence Foster Jenkins, the Meryl Streep comedy about a dreadful but committed opera singer. The Academy has been trying to weed out some of its elderly members as of late, butFlorence is exactly the sort of film that demographic usually goes for: a well-made yarn about showbiz put together by pros, like past Best Picture winners The Artist and Argo. Underestimate it in any category at your own peril. I enjoyed the film but you'd have to do about a silver medals' worth of mental gymnastics to think it deserves a BP nom. So far the only movie I feel is anything close to a lock is Billy Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a few blockbusters could find their way in Take out Great Wall, BFG, EWS, and Finding Dory, replace w/ Hell or High Water, La La Land, Elle, and Manchester by the Sea Would be pleasantly surprised by a showing from Kubo/Zootopia, but I know it's not gonna happen Edited August 29, 2016 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 lol The Great Wall's not even getting nominated for any Oscars, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 lol The Great Wall's not even getting nominated for any Oscars, period. I made that prediction before the whole delay/trailer thing . Was expecting / hoping for the usual elegant Zhang epic that just happened to have some American starpower to give it a commercial boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel M Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 If Manchester by the Sea is similar to the other Lonergan movies it ain't winning BP. His movies are majestic but not exactly close to academy's taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It probably won't win but it'll be a huge surprise if it misses the nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I promised myself I wouldn't care this year but fuck it, I don't see me hating any of the potential contenders as much as I hate Innaritu films. Anyway, currently seeing it as a La La Land vs. Fences race, with potential for Silence to upset if it's a masterpiece. However, La La Land v. Fences extends to both Actor and Actress as well haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
