BTW don't know if it'll happen but I would really love if The Big Sick got in

[WrathOfHan]

Normally by the time nominations are about to come out, there seems to be a consensus for most of the category thanks to precursors. That's not going to happen this year for a lot of categories, especially Picture, Director, and Actress.

In a perfect world, A Cure for Wellness would be nominated for best picture

Well let's wait and see before we say that

Apparently Coco is trying to get a push by Disney to get a nomination for Best Picture.

in a perfect world, best animated feature would be removed this year because it'd be the best of the worst offering in years

In a perfect world American Honey would have won all the awards last year. We don't live in a perfect world

This is true. Outside of Lego Batman and Underpants, everything was either serviceable or garbage. I have faith in that Coco will be of quality. The remainder of animated films outside of Coco both look like heaping shit sandwiches.

Because I can't mention The Star on here even when calling it out for looking like trash or acknowledging its existence

I said it looked like shit.

No chance for something like Lost City Of Z getting a nomination?

[Cmasterclay]

This year is a much better Oscar race than usual in part because it's been a really terrific year for movies IMO. The more I think about it the more I think 2016 was one of the weaker years in ages for movies.

 

Too bad Best Actor looks so lame. Gary Oldman walking to the win for what looks like hammy ass crap is a mortal lock at this point unless Phantom Thread is much more accessible than expected. Stop glorifying Winston Churchill with 20 fucking things this year!

Not at all, too early and too forgotten and too deep of a year. But if they had released it last December, with a thinner year and a holiday release/box office, it could have snuck in. Kinda botched that one.

I think 2016 was a solid year for film. The blockbuster offerings sucked for the most part, but there were some great smaller films I'd put in contention for best of the decade.

So @Squadron Leader Tele watched My Little Pony and just messaged in the Whatsapp group saying he liked it and it was better than Captain Underpants. I think we witnessed the birth of a brony.

It'd be nice to see something like Get Out to get a nomination.
