Oldman doing his Mike Myers thing is the real bad part of that category, and he's winning. Has anyone dropped a "Darkest Hour is pretty good but Oldman is bad in it" hot take yet? Because I'm doing it. Also, hell yea PTA and Jordan Peele. I hope you are referring to DDL otherwise THAT would be crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 wasn't an especially big fan of big sick but i've liked kumail and emily for their podcast from years back so i'm glad they get to be oscar nominees i guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I never bought Franco doing it, for whatever that's worth. Denzel had already showed up everywhere that mattered and the allegations broke the day before voting ended with apparently like 70 percent of the ballots already in. People like Denzel, guys.

This makes sense and the academy can add it to their terrific list of other films about silent era of movies with speaking parts, a story about Shakespeare and falling in love with him, a horrible grade Z movie about a gay black man growing up in a violent world and so many other horrible best picture winners. I'd love to see Get Out win it all. Original Script will decide the race since all movies with a shot at taking BP got in: “The Big Sick,” Emily V. Gordon & Kumail Nanjiani“Get Out,” Jordan Peele“Lady Bird,” Greta Gerwig“The Shape of Water,” Guillermo del Toro, Vanessa Taylor“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” Martin McDonagh This is excellent for TSOW, though, but whoever wins, watch out. Recept winners were all Script + BP combos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Greta or Peele pull a surprise DGA win then there’s a race Peele winning DGA could make the race really interesting. That being said, I think SOW wins best picture and best director at this point.

filmlover Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just now, Ithil said: No, I don't think that was the reason, unless Kaluuya is simply extremely tanned. More likely Franco's recent allegations derailed him. I don't think the Franco stuff hurt him that much considering how late the controversy landed (just two days before voting ended). I'm guessing they just didn't want to nominate a performance for playing Tommy Wiseau, of all people. Denzel is Denzel and his film is more "prestigious," despite being a flop.

If it wins WGA and DGA it's practically a lock, but I could see Get Out doing well at WGA too.

Hatebox Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I wonder if Nolan would rather be nominated for nothing and not have to show up than go through the motions at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 So happy for Peele and Kaluuya. Hopefully the first of many Oscar noms for both. Would love to see Get Out win BP, however unlikely. Super happy for Nolan finally getting a BD nom. Haven't been following the race too much, but holy shit, I didn't realize SoW would be getting so many noms. Don't love the movie, but GDT deserves all the good coming his way.

Overheard: “Weve got one more to lose and then we can go drink”—Chris Nolan. — Nicole Sperling (@nicsperling) January 8, 2018 Man's gonna get some good booze at the afterparty. Maybe he can recruit for his next movie too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
