It was good but not that good tbh If the academy does nominate a genre movie maybe either War of the planet of the apes or Logan would be the better option I get that but Get Out is an original film with social commentary and there are a few critics who still talk about that film as being one of their favorites. I don't think it'll get a nomination but that's because it's so far removed from its release date. I would get a kick out of Logan getting nominated but that's not going to happen.

It's not impossible if the support is there for a film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Marshall's reviews are good enough and Best Actor is empty enough I'm considering Boseman as a nom contender again after completely writing him off previously. I don't think it happens but if it made solid bank at the box office stranger things have certainly occurred. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Get Out's still the overall strongest movie I've seen this year. I'd also say it's more social commentary than anything else, which definitely helps it. Im pretty confident in it getting a nomination. I think Peele even has a strong chance at a directing nom. It's kind of like a Grand Budapest Hotel type of player. Hell, it could even pull a Silence of the Lambs and potentially win.

Ezen Baklattan Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Obviously The Current War is deader than ever before, but I'm wondering if the discussions about Hollywood's sexual assault will harm Wonder Wheel before it even has the chance to stand up. A lot of actors are getting backlash for even WORKING with Woody Allen, and the Weinstein discussions are bring his situation back into light as well. Of course, last year Casey Affleck still managed to win. Either way, Amazon would be wise to prioritize The Big Sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if Wonder Wheel turns out to be one of Woody's duds it won't even matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 New Actress predictions: 1. McDormand 2. Streep 3. Hawkins ------------------ 4. Chastain 5. Robbie 6. Ronan ------------------ 7. Dench 8. Lawrence 9. Winslet I'm not totally putting Winslet out of the running because it sounds like an Oscar role, but I'm not sure how willing the Academy will be to support a Woody Allen film with mixed reviews amidst the Weinstein shit.

Ethan Hunt Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 On 10/11/2017 at 12:56 PM, Jake Gittes said: I still haven't seen Get Out but with the overall amount of talk about it re: Oscars I find it a little surprising that no one around here has namedropped Daniel Kaluuya at all. I thought it was supposed to be really solid work, and if the film proves to be popular at the end of the year, maybe he could sneak in? I seriously want Harry Dean Stanton to be nominated. The chances of it right now are slim to none but c'mon Magnolia at least send out a bunch of screeners all over the place so they don't have an excuse if they snub him. Kaluuya would be a worthy nom but doubt they would give it to him. not showy enough and all that jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dench is gonna end up nominated tbh. At the very least she's gonna be in the hunt until the morning of nominations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 finally the title's confirmed. and a christmas release date. still thinking it might get silence'd. but on the other hand the best actor round up is looking slim so i'm sure voters probably wouldn't even have to watch the film for ddl to score a nod for his "last" performance. http://www.focusfeatures.com/phantom-thread/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I can see Beauty and the Beast snagging a tech nom or two along with a random Best Original Song nom for either "Evermore" or the Celine Dion song from the end credits. That's obviously as far as it's going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 i think beauty and the beast can win for evermore. i dunno about other song contenders. heard a snippet of the lopezes song from coco and was underwhelmed. greatest showman looks bad and their supposed showstopper from the trailer was terrible.
