department store basement Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hidden Figures has another ~25 million left I'd say. That plus LLL's remaining gross will push it over 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webslinger Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Man, the industry is really giving Manchester by the Sea the cold shoulder. I'm still officially predicting Casey Affleck for Actor, but I'm so so so tempted to flip-flop to Denzel Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally showing evidence of industry passion toward the film.Also happy for Arrival winning in Adapted category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I really liked Manchester and would not actually mind it winning BP. I always wondered the BP hopes came from, it just does not seem like a film that people would vote for BP at all.

BirdMan Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 having seen all the nominated movies except for HF , Manchester by the sea really deserves winning screenplay and actor it is also a very BP deserving movie but I can see why most people wouldn't vote for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Manchester by the Sea would be my #1 pick in most years; it just had the bad luck of hitting screens the same year as La La Land. It especially disappoints me that it hasn't caught traction in the screenwriting category despite having a script that handles its characters and themes with such depth, poignancy, and well-timed humor. It's my favorite original script of the decade through this point, and second to The Social Network overall once adaptations are thrown in. It will be a sin for Kenneth Lonergan to walk out empty-handed on Oscar night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdMan Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 How the hell did LLL lose both sound categories and editing ??? If Arrival took editing it would be fine because the movie was built on it but hacksaw ridge ? really ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdMan Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 and WHAT THE HELL happened in the end ? Moonlight ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Both La La Land and Moonlight are excellent movies that would've made worthy Best Picture winners in many years so it's an all-around win in my books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdMan Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 IMO Moonlight's first and second acts were PHENOMENAL , absolutely amazing , but the third act was pretty average ( either that or I missed something ) and the ending is a very important aspect of any movie and there it was lacking a bit compared to the rest of the nominees My personal favorite was Manchester by the Sea and it did win the awards it deserved and it would have won supporting actress too if viola was nominated as lead but the category fraud these years seems to be working well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Picture ruined my score! (I figured since La La Land was a lock to win I just had some random numbers, I had it at number 4, at least it wasn't at number 9!) Though I always have said nothing is a lock! And you know-had La La Land won nobody would know that the wrong envelope was given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
