WrathOfHan Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Arrival Billy Lynn Birth of a Nation Fences La La Land Live by Night (assuming it gets a platform release in December) Manchester by the Sea Silence If LBN isn't eligible I think we're going to be down to 7 nominees, nothing else really strikes me as something the Academy will nominate for Best Picture. MAYBE Nocturnal Animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I've decided to make a new prediction list. I'm only putting down eight, like last time. Arrival Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk Birth of a Nation La La Land Loving Manchester by the Sea Moonlight Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (That trailer last night... I think we might have an Oscar contender!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 ^idk, look past the "totally epic" music and admittedly rad visuals and it seems like a pretty typical underdogs on a mission deal. bet it's a fine, fun, but forgettable action picture. willing to say it gets less awards talk than force awakens even did.

The Futurist Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Now that Nate Parker is out : If at least 2 of the big Four (La La Land, Silence, Billy Lynn, Fences) somehow disappoints, the year could become dire and they would have to nominate Captain America : Civil War, I guess. Go Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with TIFF/Telluride on the horizon, we can discover the heavy hitters soon. However, this could actually be pretty solid in that it allows for stronger, more under the radar indies to sneak in and go big. Could be an interesting oscar year for sure.

filmlover Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I think the controversy has all but killed Birth of a Nation's chances at a Best Picture nomination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reviews at TIFF could save it, but it would need reviews on the level of 12YAS just to get a nomination, honestly. Moonlight could also steal its thunder.
