stripe Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Last year: zero films with racial diversity. Zero actors, actresses or directors were black. This year: 4 out of 9 films dealing with diversity (Moonlight, Lion, Fences, Hidden Figures) Each acting category with at least a non white nomination, totalling 7 nominations (Washington, Negga, Patel, Ali, Harris, Davis, Spencer) Best director has African-American newcomer Barry Jenkins. Best Editing: Joi McMillion, first African-American woman nominated in this category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 shit is boring as fuck. it's like it was nominated to give me the chance for a pee break when it's performed on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The Original Song performances will probably be a mess this year. Will Gosling and Stone even perform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 1. Saw Captain Fantastic last night. It was fine. Viggo was solid but not Top 5 worthy. 2. A little surprised Taraji didn't sweep in with Hidden Figures. Her restroom/coffee meltdown was made to be an Oscar clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of Gosling live-singing is an even more terrifying prospect. I'm hoping they don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 i really didn't like captain fantastic. viggo's awards run for some rando sundance indie that no one cared about when it came out in the summer is a true head scratcher. like who ran his campaign, max shreck? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually a better singer than her, all those years on the Mickey Mouse club - but this thin wan wispy music isn't in his wheel house.

Hidden Figures is my least favorite of the 9 and I still gave it a strong B+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the film a lot and - more than several of the other Oscar shoe ins from this year - and his performance is very worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he and fellow former Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake could do a medley of all the nominees. Really, just watch them make JT perform all of the nominees like when they brought Beyoncé to be the diva of the Oscars and sing half the nominees 12 years ago.

CoolioD1 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 i was worried captain fantastic might've got a screenplay nod because original was looking a little empty. happy it didn't happen. just because everyone's quoting chomsky doesn't make it smart writing motherfucker! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 This is actually one of the better lineups in recent years, I think. I'd rank the Best Picture nominees: 1. La La Land (A) 2. Manchester by the Sea (A) 3. Arrival (A) 4. Moonlight (A) 5. Hell or High Water (A-) 6. Fences (A-) 7. Hacksaw Ridge (A-) 8. Lion (A-) 9. Hidden Figures (B+) The 2010 lineup is probably my favorite so far this decade, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude should've won for Eastern Promises. I know that opinion is in the minority given his competition that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
