If a Disney film were to be nominated, Zootopia and Moana are the ones that actually fit the category Animated features aren't eligible for the Golden Globe Drama or Comedy/Musical categories.

I knew that, which makes the Comedy/Musical category even more barren since an entire medium is excluded. Although The Jungle Book shouldn't be eligible for Comedy/Musical either since it's essentially a photorealistic animated film (besides Mowgli). Also Bill Murray's performance is the only truly humorous aspect of an otherwise tense family blockbuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 They could nominate some good stuff for Musical/Comedy if they knew where to look - there's Everybody Wants Some!!, The Nice Guys, The Edge of Seventeen, Sing Street, The Lobster even. Add La La Land, 20CW and Love and Friendship and it's a decent field. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I would squee for a sing Street nomination. And I Def think FFJ can get in, but maybe replace Jungle Book with The Nice Guys. At least Gosling for comedy actor please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 FWIW I'm predicting Gosling will get nominations for both La La Land and The Nice Guys in Comedy/Musical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 What will be the gross for the nominees this year? Those grosses would become true if the film is nommed, IMHO. Sure nominees La La Land - 110M Manchester by the sea - 40M Arrival - 105M Moonlight - 30M Good bets Hell or High Water - 27M Silence - 80M Fences - 60M In the fight Hacksaw Ridge - 70M Sully - 125M Lion - 10M Loving - 15M Jackie - 15M Hidden Figures - 70M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm thinking Silence will perform similar to There Will Be Blood or Spotlight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 I keep on forgetting that Silence is coming out this year-probably because I've seen nothing for it (then again don't think I've seen anything for La La Land either) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Saw an advance screening of La La Land tonight and have zero problem with it winning Best Picture whatsoever. Currently my #2 of the year behind Manchester by the Sea. Kinda funny, just two months ago Love & Friendship was my #1 film of the year since seeing it in May and now it's all the way down to #5.

MovieMan89 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Out of every year in Oscar history, I really can't think of a more appropriate one than this for an animated film to crack the BP field. Animated films were by far the biggest commercial and critical hits of anything this year. It truly was the "year of animation." They have at least three entirely worthy candidates to choose from this year for a BP nom. Beyond that, after the 5 locks or so, the rest of the BP field is looking incredibly weak. I suppose they could just add Arrival and leave it at 6 noms, but if they're going to go any deeper than that then it makes no sense at all to exclude something like Zootopia, Kubo, or Moana. No one needs to see the 5,007,045th "inspirational true story" generica drama nominated for BP (yes looking at all of you Lion, Sully, Loving, Hidden Figures, and Jackie). If they're being honest with themselves, not having animation present in the highest award this year is purely out of bias and nothing else. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 everything i've seen and read about jackie seems like it's pretty antithetical to your "generic inspirational true story" idea. it's a larrain movie after all. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it certainly doesn't offend me personally, I just think it's dumb genre bias is still such a thing with the Academy. They should be past it by this point.

Halba Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) its a bright start. 100% after 8 reviews. if it remains in the mid to high 90s, its the genuine competitor to la la land. although still feel la la land will get it this year.

SLAM! Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Nocturnal Animals is performing very strong at the box office currently. It could end up just shy of 4 million in just over 1,000 theaters this weekend, which could give the studio more confidence to keep widening its release in the coming weeks. That could help it secure some noms, but I dunno about Best Picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The reviews for Hidden Figures are coming in and suggest another The Butler. SAG is probably its best bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It's complicated to make comparissions between The Butler and Hidden Figures. Even more this early, when only 11 reviews are in RT. Anyways, The Butler was close to be nommed and it was buried because of its release date and the great bunch of October/November/December films. The earlier a film opens, the stronger its backlash will surely be. With diversity campaign as a new factor and a December opening, Hidden Figures might very well be nommed.
