CoolioD1 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 at the very least they used to always get oscar nominees/winners to do the announcement. look at all these random c-listers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 And in a shocking turn of events PGA picks The Shape of Water. Note they’ve missed two years in a row so far and Shape also missed a SAG nom in an acting heavy film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in the other thread, all this does is confirm Three Billboards is in no way as strong as it's appeared to be. A split year is looking to yield split results so we'll likely be left guessing what wins Best Picture until the envelope is opened on March 4. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A split year is looking to yield split results so we'll likely be left guessing what wins Best Picture until the envelope is opened on March 4. I was never clamoring TB as a strong frontrunner, or anything else really. It’s a pretty open race. Billboards just slightly had the most going for it. If anything this could turn into a 2015 case where the SAG winner (Spotlight) takes the Oscar. If the SAG winner is Lady Bird or Get Out it’d also be continuing the trend of a consensus critic choice winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I won't be surprised if The Shape of Water takes BAFTA as well. If Hawkins wins tomorrow night at SAG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if "the Shape of Water" were nominated on SAG (outstanding perfomance by a cast), it would be interesting (win on PGA and SAG = mighty combo).

I’d be more willing to forgive a SAG miss if there weren’t three other solid contenders. When a race is this close, acting branch support will matter a lot.

Not saying SoW can’t win, I think it’s a possibility. But I think it’s silly to toss aside that fact when considering a prediction. That’s the largest base of academy voters, of course you need their support to win, unless every other branch universally goes SoW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just won PGA and it WILL win DGA , if it wins WGA ( big If ) that means other than the acting branch everyone is crazy about TSOW so it will be the front runner indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’d bet on it winning DGA but I don’t think there’s any reason to think it’s 100% locked. I wouldn’t be shocked if Gerwig, McDonagh or Nolan pulled an upset (However I would be surprised).
