The Academy once chose Bridge of Spies over Carol and The Hateful Eight. In the same way, Phantom Thread is not a surprise either, because over those same films, they chose Brooklyn.

AniNate Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Kraken said: They should go back to just letting the branch nominate. And is the option of capping it at 3 gone? So many animated movies get submitted now that they consistently pass the requirement of 15 for 5 nominees. Theoretically the animation branch would do a better job voting, but I'm not sure that would have addressed the problem of Lego Batman getting snubbed.

Meanwhile, I think Armie Hammer deserved a nomination for CMBYN. Yeah, that's easily the biggest disappointment for me. Timmy's performance is almost entirely dependent upon him (and vice versa).

ShouldIBeHere Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) No nomination for In the Fade (Aus dem Nichts)... it scored the Golden Globe and the Critics Choice Award. I never quite got the hype at all... but I guess there is a hyped movie each year in Germany that inr eality has no shot at the Oscar Had hoped Armie Hammer somehow got in for CMBYN, indeed.

Yeah, that's definitely a record that won't be topped any time soon (shortest amount of time between being cast and getting nominated).

The Panda Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 For animated this is the first year the entire academy got to vote for nominations. Before it was just the animated branch. Yeah, there’ve been snubs, but they didn’t even go indie picks really this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much better than BH6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil' Timmy Tim, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, Bradley Whitford, and others I'm probably forgetting all have two films nominated each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the only actors working right now who can coast to noms (or even wins, in the case of Meryl's most recent Oscar) for films that nobody care about based on name alone.
