Precursors 2016! Winners and Nominations

[Jake Gittes]

Jenkins is probably #2 right now (with Lonergan and Scorsese right behind) but I don't think he's gonna be able to beat Chazelle when he has a less technically showy film AND he's a non-veteran who's only now getting introduced to 99% of the industry.

Even though moonlight isn't winning best picture everywhere Jenkins is sweeping those best director wins since he won NY and NBR too. Could see 'first black best director' turn into a narrative and splits with la la Land.

 

And this sounds like exactly the kind of narrative that the Academy will ignore if they like the BP winner enough.

 

There's no big tech achievement pic like Life of Pi or Gravity or Revenant this time around, unless Passengers or Rogue One somehow become huge (which they won't).

 

I guess never count out Marty, but if La La Land wins I can't see it not going to Chazelle.

The past couple years they all announced on the same day so I wondered if they were doing the same this year

[CoolioD1]

the boston critics are next sunday. maybe something to do with silence has screened in LA/NY but it's screening other places this week. though the film didn't really seem to factor with either group so far beyond that supporting actor runner up shout-out from la.

Oh look. Neon Demon won something.

I feel so out of touch this year - Hail! Caesar is the closest I have come (great film) to the Oscar Bait type films and that was just tonight. Trying to stream / netflix as many as I can over the next few weeks but yeah - hard to must any excitement when I am so far behind.

Watch Love & Friendship! Kate Beckinsale is divine in it.

After seeing Manchester by the Sea, they really should just mail it to him right now and get it over with.

[Joel M]

OK these awards mean very little to the industry but lets assume some things.

 

-I did not expect critics to include La La Land so much. It had rave reviews from the start, but since it got tagged as the "Hollywood" popular choice for BP since Venice, I thought at least the big critic groups will snub it in favour of other stuff, more in need of their championing. But since it won awards in NY and LA already, I can see it getting a lot of the smaller critic groups who usually go for more mainstream stuff.

 

-Moonlight pretty much solidified its place as the critic favorite of the season. Still doesn't mean much until we see it included in actual industry awards like the guilds but it already has much bigger critical support than Carol did last year.

 

-The acting awards suggest that the critics might make Huppert happen as Best Actress nominee simalirly to Cotillard or Charlot Rambling a few years ago and that Affleck is their almost unanimous pick. But Affleck, Huppert, Michelle Williams and Naomi Harris could win a billion critic awards and still end up losing at the oscars to Denzel, Portman, Stone or Viola Davis. The only acting category that the critics might have a chance to influence big time is Best Supporting Actor if the Mahershala Ali sweep continues.

[Jake Gittes]

I think critics are certainly helping Affleck as well, he's sweeping for now. Sure, so was, say, Jeremy Renner in 2009, but Affleck has been around for longer, is a previous nominee, his movie is looking to break out in the box office, and his only real competitor has already won twice so unless he's absolutely God-level in Fences I think the voters are more likely to recognize Affleck. Ali in a similar boat in relation to Bridges for now. 

 

Huppert's awards will obviously never get her close to an actual Oscar, the only question is how many critical awards will Stone and Portman manage to get between them. Supporting Actress is still likely going to Viola with a possible Naomie Harris upset, no change there.

[filmlover]

Yeah, Denzel already having two Oscars (and Fences not looking to be as strong as Manchester) greatly increase Affleck's chances.
