narniadis Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I had hoped that the underlying Mudbound noms might lead to best picture. At least we can lay the Netflix bias aside. Also with the whole academy voting in animation I think we can see now that the lack of Lego in 2014 wasn't a fluke. Also LBM sucked so there lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 For people who hate the Oscars: Spoiler Yes. The Game Awards is a 'real' thing that's hosted on the internet.

The Panda Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 3 minutes ago, filmlover said: He's quickly becoming, as someone said earlier, the male Meryl Streep. 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. Yeah, I was definitely surprised when they went with Affleck over him last year. However, that wouldn’t have happened in this years climate.

Cap Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I hope Shape Of Water and Get Out run the table. LOLs: - Armie Hammer is totally the Fetch of Hollywood - Logan for Best Adapted Screenplay - Martin McDonagh Denied Best Director YASs: - Rachel Morrison for Best Cinematography - Jordan Peele for Best Director - Daniel Kaluuya for Best Actor - The Big Sick for Best Original Screenplay - An Almost Post Shut Out - Shape Of Water leading the Nominations WTFs: - I, Tonya snubbed Best Picture and Hair & Make Up - BATB for Best Costumes.

Ithil Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 To think people for a while were saying The Shape of Water had lost all momentum from its Golden Lion win back in the summer and was going to be forgotten come awards season, here it is with 13 noms and certain to win at least several, potentially many of them.

Hardly fair he was not in the running in the first place, it was a comedy performance, comedies don't get oscars. If the golden globes did not have a comedy divide he wouldn't have been nominated there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Trying to decide if I should nix the spreadsheet or do alterations. My predicts were only a marginal improvement from last year, and I think the base assumption that Oscar noms are made up by a cumulation of precursors is at the least flawed.

filmlover Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Gotta love how everyone said Octavia Spencer's career would instantly become irrelevant after she won six years ago and yet she's come back with double nominations (and in back-to-back years too). Your favorite actors would never. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
