The Panda Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 2 hours ago, CoolioD1 said: the splits started the argo year and every year since then the movie that won best cinematography also won best director. so maybe now the correlation is less "the best director made the best movie" and more "the best director made the prettiest movie" Likely means Deakins isn’t getting his Oscar this year.

WrathOfHan Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The Director/Cinematography correlation is coming to an end this year. I don't see how GDT loses Director and don't see how Dunkirk loses Cinematography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I also think Laustsen have a great chance give the prize. Like Deakens. Hoytema is behind both. p.s. May be first year when I don't have favorites in this category. This three great artist + Rachel Morrison with her perfect work in "Mudbound" (some off-top: Why is Black Panther looks so stunning? Cause Morrison and Hannah Beachler ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I kind of think Shape of Water wins cinematography but it depends on if it can win BAFTA and CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Best Picture normally will goes to those movie with great art value, and great crafting skill of philosopher of visual art, with little story... This is why la la land, manchester by the sea , moonlight get so much hyped among critics and members,for them, great story/plot isn't the most essential part but the way of crafting the visual art.

BardCrank Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If Deakins loses this it will be to TSOW A movie will not win a best director award unless the movie won BP and was an undeniable winner ( The Artist , King's Speech ) or the movie is a technical wonder in every aspect ( Gravity , Life of Pi ) or if you are a god so you achieve both ( Birdman ) This year seems like it will go to the technical player , now if TSOW wins it will also most likely rack up a bunch of other awards too like score , production design etc but most importantly Cinematography because it is one of the most important technical aspects of any movie not to mention a visual wonder like TSOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 After seeing The Post, I'm genuinely surprised by how much of a non-factor it's been this whole awards season for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) On 2/1/2018 at 10:33 AM, stripe said: What will be the gross for the BP contenders before nominatios are announced? And after Oscars? Last year we had 3 movies over 100M, all of these reached the mark after noms. The average gross for the BP contenders last year was 77M (53M prior to noms) I would say this year could be better BO wise. DOM gross before noms Dunkirk - 188M Get Out - 175M The Post - 48M The Big Sick - 43M Darkest Hour - 42M Lady Bird - 40M Three Billboards - 34M Shape of Water - 32M I, Tonya - 16M Call Me By Your Name - 9M 62M average gross more or less the day noms are announced. Let's see how much more fuel these movies have in the tank after noms. Final grosses Dunkirk - 188M Get Out - 175M The Post - 100M Lady Bird - 60M I, Tonya - 60M Shape of Water - 55M Darkest Hour - 55M Three Billboards - 50M Big Sick - 43M Call Me By Your Name - 17M Average: 80M Slightly updated, adding I, Tonya and The Big Sick to complete a 10 wide list.

filmlover Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I miss the good old days when they would announce them in the press room and we would get memorable moments like Salma Hayek cheering at the nomination of her BFF or Tom Sherak (RIP) pronouncing Vera Farmiga's name weird.
