Cmasterclay Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I thought Jason Mitchell and Michael B. Jordan, not to mention Isaac and Del Toro, are all better than any of the noms in their particular categories except for maybe Ali. Yea, I thought Jordan was better than Affleck/Denzel, and I loved those two performances. Jordan in Creed was just the kind of insanely charismatic, lived-in movie star role that is generational in a different kind of way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Jada Pinkett Smith, probably the loudest voice of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, has blessed the nominees with her thoughts of joy. Pack it up folks, apocalypse averted. http://variety.com/2017/film/news/oscar-nominations-2017-jada-pinkett-smith-oscars-so-white-1201968684/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Arrival with Amy Adams digitally removed would be an interesting film. Apart from the Amy Adams snub I'm fine with these nominations. Good to see 2 Aussie films with 6 nominations each including best picture. Great to see the Nocturnal Animals didn't get anything apart from Shannon. Edited January 25, 2017 by DeeCee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
department store basement Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I just realized that Manchester by the Sea is the first Amazon Studios movie to be nominated for an Oscar. Suck it Netflix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Girl Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 1 hour ago, department store basement said: Boo to my profile picture not being nominated but otherwise it is mostly as expected. Suicide Squad joins the ranks of Norbit, The Wolfman, and Bad Grandpa as critically derided films with only a nomination for makeup. Bad Grandpa got good reviews tho.

filmlover Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Nominee reactions: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/2017-oscar-nominations-reactions-967941/item/2017-oscar-nom-reaction-lucas-hedges-968012 Lucas Hedges is by far the best one. Also, Michael Shannon's makes me secretly wish that he would win. Pretty obvious he would make an expletive-laced anti-Trump speech that would make all of the headlines the next day instead of La La Land's dominance.

The Panda Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) All of the nominees that I have seen were in my top 14 for the year. No complaints about them from me. 5 were in my top 10. And my favorite of the year is the frontrunner. No complaints from me. Edited January 25, 2017 by La La Panda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 From another thread: Wow one of the nominees for Deepwater has the record for the most nominations without a win in the category of sound editing. Can he finally win it? And La La Land is the first live action musical to be nominated for sound editing. BTW this is only the 2nd year since 2007 where I have seen none of the nominees at the time of the announcement. (2014 was the other one-I forgot American Sniper came out after the nominations) The only ones I'm somewhat interested in are Hacksaw and Hell over High Water.

Same thing happened with Revolutionary Road 8 years ago. The power of God Shannon compels the Academy! Aaand when the awards groups were united in their support of 99 Homes he was snubbed for the Oscar. Does that mean Michael Shannon HAS to get almost nothing else to get an Oscar nom?

When ATJ was nominated and won a GG - Academy voters then watched the movie and gave their vote to Shannon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, he probably has too many mediocre performances he needs to atone for before that ever became a reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 ATJ is still going to have a bigger career than the Oscar winner in the supporting category so he'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Just now, filmlover said: I agree. Maybe, but I hope not because it wouldn't be because he's a better actor than Mahershala Ali. (who killed it last year in Luke Cage (duh), Moonlight and even in a small role in Hidden Figures - oh and House Of Cards). I hope this year for him finally results in lead roles in quality projects.
