BirdMan Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Quote 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. Denzel hasn't won anything yet and the movie isn't that strong , I feel like he should have won at least some of the awards of these few weeks to have a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm sure Kimmel took it since he was probably the only person who wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridges other than the final 30 minutes was just doing a variation of Rooster Cogburn that he's done since 2010. Understandable; but IDK, I'm the type of person where a phenomenal 30 minutes can save a just good first 90. But I get where you're coming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Kimmel is exactly the person who is like, "okay, we gotta get someone reasonably famous, uhhhh idk okay Jimmy Kimmel I guess" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bunch especially since he's gonna be nominated as a producer (and will almost certainly lose). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 saw the casey affleck interview on his show and he was already cracking up about casey affleck winning an oscar for a role Damon turned down, so yeah it'll come up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Quote The Academy has unveiled the 15 titles that have advanced in its feature documentary competition for this year's Oscars. The shortlist, culled down from 145 films that were submitted for consideration, includes Ezra Edelman's epic seven-and-one-half-hour O.J.: Made in America, the ESPN-funded doc about the life and times of O.J. Simpson. Demonstrating the wide variety of docs, there's Gianfranco Rosi's Fire at Sea, about the wave of immigrants washing up on the shores of Italy, which is also Italy's submission in the foreign-language film contest, and Keith Maitland's Tower, which uses animation to recount the 1966 mass shooting at the University of Texas in Austin. The titles are below: Cameraperson, Big Mouth ProductionsCommand and Control, American Experience Films/PBSThe Eagle Huntress, Stacey Reiss Productions, Kissiki Films and 19340 ProductionsFire at Sea, Stemal EntertainmentGleason, Dear Rivers Productions, Exhibit A and IMG FilmsHooligan Sparrow, Little Horse Crossing the RiverI Am Not Your Negro, Velvet FilmThe Ivory Game, Terra Mater Film Studios and Vulcan ProductionsLife, Animated, Motto Pictures and A&E IndieFilmsO.J.: Made in America, Laylow Films and ESPN Films13th, Forward MovementTower, Go-ValleyWeiner, Edgeline FilmsThe Witness, The Witnesses FilmZero Days, Jigsaw Productions I'd predict 13th, Eagle Huntress, OJ Made in America, Weiner and Cameraperson. One of the first two will probably win, as they are the main Important one and the main Inspirational one respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 OJ will win. people are obsessed with that guy this year. I've watching like half of it and it's pretty stunning. If the branch are kinda prickly about whether or not its technically a film it might get snubbed. but if it gets nominated it wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I can't wait to see it myself but the runtime really makes me doubt its win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 ever since they've opened up the category to everyone the buzziest title has always won, which this is. think people might just name check it. or maybe they watched it as a series when it aired on tv idk.

filmlover Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Between this recent O.J. obsession and the Tonya Harding movie with Margot Robbie on the way, this 1994 nostalgia is giving me life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm divided. Zootopia, Kubo and Moana all deserve to win, and had it been a weaker year so would Finding Dory. (Haven't seen Your Name or Red Turtle yet) This year has been better for animation than 2010. Actually, it's possibly the best year ever for animation.
