Cmasterclay Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I should have never ever doubted the Berg. Also holy shit for fucks sake CMBYN and Moonlight are only similar because they feature gay people. Period. This dude would be getting heated if we compared two of his precious sci to movies. Independence Day and Gravity are as similar as these two. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see an acting nom for Franco but I highly doubt they'll go for it. A24 will be campaigning much heavier for Lady Bird/Florida Project more than likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Also Post and Spotlight are both about completely different elements of journalism with kinda sorta different points. They're certainly more similar than Moonlight and CMBYN which aren't remotely similar at all but they're still less similar than like...alot of genre movies people who "get up in arms" about message movies beg to win awards every year.

CoolioD1 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 i'm saying either get out or the post wins best picture. old school vs. new school type thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So their number one concern when selecting the best picture should be "do we have varied genres compared to previous years" and not "which is the best film"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The winner is probably going to be The Post or Three Billboards with an outside chance at CMBYN or Lady Bird. Dunkirk, Get Out, and SOW all have a shot too but have pretty big things going against them: Dunkirk won't have screenplay or acting nominations Get Out could have as little as two nominations (Picture/Screenplay) Shape of Water will have the majority if not all of its techs stolen and might have no acting/screenplay nominations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 the top 6 frontrunners now to me: 1) Dunkirk 2) Get out 3) 3 billboards 4) lady bird 5) the post 6) CMBYN The shape of water will be a notable snub for 90th oscar, and the likely winner is between lady bird and 3 billboards.....

Finally a genre film will win, woot-woot! BTW, just because critics are not going gaga-go for TSOW it doesn't mean that GG, Guilds and BAFTA may not turn its fortunes around. It was never a critics movie anyway. I do hope critics continue to awards Gerwig and Peele cause they need all support they can get.

Joel M Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The Post showing up so big at critics(?) awards is definately something (even if it's in the most "classic hollywood" friendly group). I don't expect the other big critics groups to go for it at all, not even for streep or hanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think I, Tonya, Phantom Thread and The Disaster Artist are all close to a nomination. They're getting a fair amount of love so far. I also think Franco is going to get a BA nom. If the Academy doesn't go for Oldman, then it's a fairly open race between him, Chalamet and Hanks. (As of now, we'll get a clearer picture when SAG comes in. If they snub Darkest Hour, then it's out, as acting noms are its strongest bets) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
