filmlover Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Garth Davis is probably this year's Lenny Abrahamson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 usually goes 4/5 with oscars so i think davis probably misses. though villeneuve i could see that snub happening and getting fanboys mad too. i still say scorsese could get in even w/out a BP nod for silence because the academy directors branch can go a bit artier than the dga and obv they adore him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolio is right that the Academy never needs an excuse to grab Marty for a nod. Edited January 12, 2017 by 4815162342 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 if the lion guy gets a best director nom then props to harvey for getting his groove back this year i guess. proves he only failed to get a best pic last year because the films he had were too interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 worth noting that '97 was the last time the best director category was all first time nominees in that category, which all five of these guys would be. scorsese/gibson really the only previous nominees in contention. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I guess Davis misses, but I think this means Lion is in for BP 90% now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 For a moment I was scarred Deadpool would get in here too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could argue Lion is definitely a lock at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 lion would probably be nominated if it was just a 5 nominee year like in the old days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Lion has definitely solidified itself in BP. That's a very surprising nomination. I'd say Davis gets replaced by Gibson in the final lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I think that Villeneuve is solid for a nom now that he's got this and BAFTA. fingers crossed. Chazelle, Lonergan and Jenkins are locked, so it's 2 spots up for grabs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad he didn't. Happy for Trachtenberg though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
