MovieMan89 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 They seem to have a pretty unyielding loyalty to DWA for whatever reason. Not even the first time DWA has snuck in with a complete shit film (Shark Tale) that Pixar or WDAS or pretty much any other animation studio would have never stood a chance with.

AniNate Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) DWA is based in the Los Angeles area so they probably have some personal connections. Blue Sky's as close as you can get to NYC while in Connecticut, as well. Edited January 23, 2018 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Safest bet for this year Oscar is Best Actor: almost everybody says Gary Oldman probably has it wrapped up. Most unusual nominee: Kobe Bryant. He is nominated as a producer for animated short he produced called "Dear Basketball". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was given the best lines in the film - lines that could have carried any actress to a nomination for the role. I am certain she will win but I’m hoping Blige or Metcalf pull off the upset. The other three acting categories are far less interesting and only slightly less predictable. I am wondering if Streep siphons enough votes from McDormand to let Ronan slip in for the win. Coco for Animated Feature is the lock of the night after Janney. Given the Academy’s membership, I think Nolan and Dunkirk have an edge over del Toro and The Shape of Water. Got news for you :almost all performances are dependent on the writing. Janney and Oldman seem to be the two locks for the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Upon further reflection, it's sinking in what a big deal it is to see Greta Gerwig and Jordan Peele both nominated in Best Director. Gerwig is just the fifth woman and Peele the fifth black director ever nominated (and four out of those five fell within the last decade), and they both made it for highly unconventional fare - a high school dramedy and a horror-comedy - that usually doesn't make much headway in the major categories. That's a big damn deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Three of my top six movies of the year got nominated, plus Dunkirk and Shape which are both hovering around the nine or ten slot. Not a bad year at all. Post, Three Billboards, Call Me By Your Name and even Darkest Hour don't suck, either. Usually there's a crappy one (hellllo Hacksaw Ridge).

Inexplicable. Still in my top six as well. 1. Get Out 2. Blade Runner 3. Phantom Thread? 4. Lady Bird? 5. Star Wars 6. Logan Lucky!! I am confident about my top two, confident about three through six but not confident about the order, and it's kinda a fall off after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yea not the only time I've seen that sentiment today. There's definitely a contingent on these very boards that's been saying that for months! Hint: it's the same dudes who were adamant that anything besides Arrival winning last year was a war by the pretentious SJWs. They're also the same dudes who are defending every new person accused in the Weinstein thread. I liked Dunkirk but not doing your movie any favors folks!

Wow we have good taste. Star Wars is the biggest, both in terms of gross and franchise blockbusterness, to make my top five since....god, gotta be the Dark Knight. Apes is probably ten for me. And Blade Runner number two, even if it flopped! Franchise blockbusters don't have to be bad, which is why we're celebrating with a 2018 that looks like the worst year for blockbusters of modern times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
