Technically Gravity was the last film to win the PGA and DGA and not win BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Yep, very happy that a populist hit (HF) won. if indies want to win, they should go over to Indie Spirit. It isn't like they don't have a prestige award that excludes other movies. They are not underdogs that some makes them out to be.

Valonqar Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 well, HF won and Moonlight and Manchester didn't, so those sour faces are justified. Win's a win, loss is loss. Moonlight + Manchester = losers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 it must suck to be someone who's gotta look at a movies box office to decide if they like it or not. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna get into people's brains to see just HOW they can interpret films the way they do just to fit their own outrage narrative. SCREAMING at you all taking me seriously. Was the "qwhite" not a giveaway? You are all tragic. I cannot at some of you all being pressed and shook over my extra ass "outrage." I haven't even seen La La Land. You all should know I rarely speak on a film if I have yet to see the movie. I love having whites ™ shook. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Was thinking of the screenplay categories earlier. For original-I believe Manchester will win this. Though I could see La La Land winning-though its a tough road given that Gigi is the only musical to ever win this as said before. (For some reason I was thinking it wasn't nominated earlier, got it confused with the acting cats that it wasn't nominated for). I could see Hell over High Water winning, though that is unlikely. Adapted-I believe Moonlight is the frontrunner, however I wouldn't count out Fences or Hidden Figures on winning this. Part of me could see HF winning this just so it wont go home empty handed.

CoolioD1 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 la la land and moonlight will win. maybe hidden figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdMan Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 LLL will win , comparing it to previous musicals is not really apples to apples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 it's true i've said it multiple times in this thread but the people discounting la la land in that category are nuts. the script is actually a pretty typical winner there i wouldn't count it out because of like, five scenes where people sing. not comparable to Oliver or sound of music or chicago or whatever their basis is at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Which one of these next to impossible scenarios do you think is most likely to happen: La La Land takes home all 14 nominations-yes it even ties in best song! La La Land loses every nomination! Lion does a Mutiny on the Bounty and wins picture (and nothing else!) (Well hey Spotlight almost did that) A tie happens for best picture!
