Does it have a chance at any other nomination? Kaluuya for Best Actor? Long shot, but possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'm sheepish on the comedy affiliation. I've yet to see the film, but I think there will certainly be people who fail to recognize it as comedy. I wish good luck to these guys, but we'll just have to see what happens.

The Big Sick The Disaster Artist I, Tonya Lady Bird Victoria & Abdul (to an extent) The Greatest Showman (to an extent) Battle of the Sexes (to an extent) Girls Trip (to an extent) Older voters would choose Victoria & Abdul and The Greatest Showman over Get Out any day of the week, to be blunt. I'm just not convinced Get Out will make it into a category that is supposed to celebrate comedies and musicals. The Martian was a different, pre-controversy era. Because believe me, that pick was controversial. They've learned since then. They'll have vowed to avoid so-so genre films like Get Out since then. That's my logic, though.

I'm just talking about the Best Picture - Comedy/Musical section of the Golden Globes. For the Oscars, however, I think both The Shape of Water and Get Out will be on the list without a doubt.

Barnack Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 54 minutes ago, cookie said: Comedy at the Golden Globes is basically anything that isn't dead-pan serious. Feel like it will change a little bit, now the movie will pretty much always be in the category the distributor decide (in the case of big director I imagine that will mean them), the globe voters need a 66% votes to change a distributor decision, making it a bit harder for them to optimize their category for star powers and what not. We should less often see pissed off director like Ridley Scott with the Martian or David O Russel with American Hustle getting the reputed kiss of death of a comedy placement without being clearly one (or a musical). Under the news rules: La La Land 20th Century Women Deadpool Florence Foster Jenkins Sing Street Not bad (maybe they have the musical a bit easy, but nowaday pure musical genre is almost death...) at all for the 4 movies I have seen, I have not seen 20th century woman but at least imdb has it has comedy-drama. This year with 3 billboard going drama (that the kind of one they would have maybe changed in comedy in the past), it seem it will be a good year again for the division.

If you can only categorize comedy/musical or drama, Fury Road is definitely a drama. Get Out is funny, but it's definitely more dramatic in material. I can kind of get that you might classify it as social satire, so it at least has that over something like The Martian in drama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It won't be a fraud in Comedy and it guarantees nominations for Picture and Actor, though Franco is winning the Actor in Comedy easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 You know what, I'll give it a pass. Get Out is very much a dark comedy / social satire as well as a horror movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
