If Beale Street Could Talk | NY/LA 12/14, Wide Christmas Day | Annapurna | Barry Jenkins Does It Again, Han proven super duper wrong

[Curtis1986]

 so this is definitely looking at a best picture, director, screenplay, supporting actress, and score Oscar nominations.

What?! But TEST SCREENINGS was bad! It's impossible! Test screenings are everything! Test screenings.....

[WrathOfHan]

Fuck all of you. I don’t have time for this shit.

[Curtis1986]

Sitting nice at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with 9 reviews in. It's time to take test screening reports with a grain of salt.

[SLAM!]

I didn't expect this but I guess the film's success is a nice one. After the excellent trailer that was shown, I certainly welcome it.

Okay, so @WrathOfHan was a bit off in his  initial posts. No need to keep harping on him for it.

But it's fun to make fun of him.

All love @WrathOfHan I believed a testing report that In The Heart of the Sea was good before so I'm not one to talk.

 

Don't doubt Jenkins again though!

I saw this at TIFF this morning.

 

Moonlight wasn’t a fluke. I LOVED this.

Good enough to compete for a BP nod, probably not the win though.  That still looks to be like Roma vs The Favourite (with a possible surprise from Vice)

I may not like Lanthimos, but I can’t let my emotions get in the way of reality.  Hopefully Cuaron pulls through though, I’d love to see the Voters go for a black and white Spanish film after the shenagins the academy has been trying to play to increase viewship.

I can't see a 4th (official) remake pulling a Best Picture win when 2 previous versions have been nominated. Then again a B&W "homage" silent film won best pic recently.

Well I'm sure the whole Netflix aspect is gonna cause some indignant voters to go elsewhere. Who knows what happens with the Oscars voting system.

[Morieris]

Han, I didn't put that in the title.

_{but I did chuckle at it}

I don’t think Roma is all that similar to the Artist minus it being BW

I was referring to The Artist being rather close to ASIB (minus death) - hence the "homage".
