That's fine. But devoting posts purely to a category irrelevant to the actual thread topic is just clutter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 We should have a general awards season thread for discussion about it all overall. That's pretty much how this ones been treated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needed to be a true $200M+ sensation ala Ghost/The Sixth Sense/The Blind Side to really get into the conversation. A lone Adapted Screenplay nomination is its best chance (and is gonna happen with how dead that category is). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I was pretty high on Wonder like a week or two ago, but Lionsgate is doing fuck all to campaign for it. Had it hit 150-160M, the box office alone would've been strong enough to push it, but now? Not so much. It's still getting into Screenplay though.

Mrwick Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The fact that a movie should have to campaign to get recognition just shows how pointless and innacurate oscars are. Take a film for what it is, a campaign should make no difference to the quality of a film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The Post is getting pretty good reviews so far but it definitely isn't an undeniable contender. I feel like everything's starting to fall into place for Lady Bird winning tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Right now I see it as Lady Bird, Call Me By Your Name and Get Out being the frontrunners, while Three Billboards, The Florida Project and The Shape of Water are darkhorses. It's still pretty early though. But I do think The Post's reviews take it out of contention for the win, it should still get a nom though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The critics aren't going to affect The Post's chances at all. It'll still be a big box office hit and timely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being divisive (at least appears that way on RT so far) probably means it's not winning BP considering the way preferential ballot works, its current MTC score is too low anyway. Also, it's been a rollarcoaster for the past few days, at first I thought chances for TSOW and 3 Billboards were dying, but they seem to be making a nice comeback.

No frontrunner is now in play as the final oscar BP list is pretty much "finalized", and I expect there will be no surprise contender in the last min...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Will Disney campaign for Shape of Water, The Post, and Three Billboards? Posting this here may be just trolling, but it actually seems oddly plausible if the deal goes through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
