CoolioD1 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 i've never really thought of silence of the lambs as horror. idk, it's pretty creepy, but no one's calling mindhunter a horror show y'know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With much bigger bonafides than Get Out and bigger nomination presence. Silence of the Lambs won the Big 5 and was nominated for Sound and Editing. Realistically, Get Out is not gonna come close in nom count. BP is gonna happen, Original Screenplay probably, Director maybe, and a long long shot for DK in Actor.

I'm not predicting Get Out to win btw (I'm leaning toward Call Me by Your Name taking it right now), but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it does. It's got a lot going for it. If it doesn't win, it definitely won't be because it's a genre film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 the inclusion of get out in BP is sufficient enough for me but win? I will go for Lady Bird 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no narrative there, as acclaimed as it may be. Still leaning towards Lady Bird being the winner. Given what's been happening, it feels like the right year to award a "women's picture." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Lady Bird as a BP winner feels weird to me. Three Billboards and Get Out are better movies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) It just dawned on me how there are several actors with multiple films in contention this year (though Chalamet and Stuhlbarg are the only ones likely to be singled out for individual recognition). Interesting. Timothee Chalamet: Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird Lucas Hedges: Lady Bird, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri Caleb Landry Jones: The Florida Project, Get Out, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri Tracy Letts: Lady Bird, The Post Michael Stuhlbarg: Call Me by Your Name, The Post, The Shape of Water Bradley Whitford: Get Out, The Post Edited December 10, 2017 by filmlover 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I could see Lady Bird winning the same way Spotlight and Moonlight did: by being a film with just enough #1 votes to put itself in the conversation and enough 2 and 3 spots to carry it through to a squeaker victory over a more divisive frontrunner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Man I have no idea. No clue. These precursors are making it tougher, not easier. Wildest year ever, I'd put six films about dead even and there's multiple contenders in all but one acting category. And directing, who fuckin knows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
