While I knew it wouldn't win because it was a little more mixed, Les Miserables is one of my personal favorite films of all time. And I enjoyed other films that missed the nomination, like Moonrise Kingdom and Skyfall. Moonrise Kingdom .... what a lovely underappreciated movie well , to be honest there are very very few acceptable movies that could have been a worse win than Argo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 It's a pity that Jeremy Renner's campaign got sabotaged by, ya know, who released his movie in theaters. In many years he would've made for a perfect last place filler spot for his work in Wind River. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Final predictions: Timothee Chalamet, Call Me by Your Name Daniel Day-Lewis, Phantom Thread James Franco, The Disaster Artist Daniel Kaluuya, Get Out Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour The consensus five, really. Franco definitely feels the most vulnerable though, usually one ends up missing so we might see Hanks or Washington (despite his film being a total no1curr) get in in his place.

FantasticBeasts Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I am rooting for Daniel but I don't see his chances being high. Not a huge fan of Get Out but welll....skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be jailed for producing such pile of shit to rival the one from Jurassic Park. I think your list is the correct one with Franco suddenly being the most vulnerable since TDA didn't do well at the boxoffice outside of the initial rush.

SLAM! Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I feel like this could be something that will need to be addressed. (Oscar voting is going to close on Friday.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well, it'll be interesting to see how they deal with Franco considering recent developments. Perhaps they just throw out his votes and default to whoever is behind him before nomination morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel M Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If that article is all there is about Franco it will def feel uncomfortable and it will be brought up a lot over the next months if he's nominated, but if that's all and no other stories come to light it's not much. I've read it and most of the accusations read as so flimsy the most damning part of the whole thing ends up being the title "5 women accuse Franco for sex stuff".

filmlover Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Is it possible for an actor or actress to withdraw their name from the nomination (assuming Franco gets it)? Because that's most likely what's gonna end up happening and we'll just have 4 nominees (Oldman/Timmy/Kaluuya/DDL). If Franco ends up getting nominated, of course.

CoolioD1 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 honestly i don't think they'd do that. if franco's in he's in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Yeah the allegations haven’t blown up like Spacey’s did, I don’t think this effects the race. I also don’t think Franco’s winning, but I think it was Oldman’s to lose anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I feel like whoever wins Best Actor is gonna have baggage. It is just the crop you have this year. Just got out of Darkest Hour. I see why the critics/awards are eating it up. I found it very showy and one-note. I still think Franco gave the best performance. It was so authentic and weird and sad. And I can’t believe I am saying this, cause he is not a fave, yet I am puzzled that Sebastian Stan’s name hasn’t been thrown around for I, Tonya. It was such a flawless performance that really captured the character’s frightening, manipulative, sociopathic nature. And if we buy into “all acting is reacting” I don’t think Margot could have had a better screen partner. For me it would be: Kaluuya - Get Out Franco - Disaster Artist Stan - I, Tonya And then waiting to see Phantom Thread to fill the other spots. I know that won’t be the list, but it would be a nice to hear the gasps from the audience if it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were trying to put a Get Out. Knew they wouldn’t win leading so knocked him down to Supporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
