Yes, there is a lot of black comedy in the film, but they play the abuse scenes dead straight.------------ Yeah, they play the abuse scenes dead straight. So that cut to Allison Janney saying, in a sarcastic tone, that “every family has its ups and downs” after a scene where she stabbed Tonya with a knife was all just played for reals and no comedy whatsoever was intended 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldman fully deserves his nomination, but the film, though not bad, was not good enough to deserve a best picture spot. Yeah but its clearly pandering towards the academy so its not exactly a shocker that this got in over better films. Every oscar season is like that.

Every oscar season is like that. I think that while other films may have been more deserving, films have had to cross a certain quality threshold in order to be in contention for a nomination as of late. The last unequivocally undeserved Best Picture nominee was Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close in the 2011/2012 season- there's a reason why similar films have been missing since then. But Darkest Hour is no Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close. Darkest Hour is a story told with countless beautiful artistic decisions from multiple filmmaking crafts, at the very least. Undeserved in terms of 'other films were much better'? Perhaps. Undeserved in general terms? Not quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinHyphy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Lol, I remember stating that Get Out was going to perform extremely well at the Oscars all the way in March 2017, but someone in particular quoted that post saying that I am insane. I might have bookmarked that post, but I am not about to search for it to boast. Anyway, Get Out is winning original screenplay. I am certain. I read the screenplay in the summer of 2016 at the recommendation of a WGA member. Guillermo Del Toro really appears to be the directing winner, but there is still a slight chance that Nolan wins the DGA and turns the race around. Best picture is going to be The Shape of Water.

MovieMan89 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 It's ironic, normally horror stands next to no chance at scoring a BP nom, and normally films released in Jan/Feb stand next to no chance at scoring a BP nom. And yet two of the only horror films ever nominated for BP were released in Feb (Lambs and Get Out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for lambs wasn't there at the time but I think get out was helped from building buzz and momentum throughout the year. Like it just wouldn't go away. Took a while for people to get used to it as contender not sure kaluuya's name even came up as a potential nominee until like October. Not sure a get out released in November does as well with nominations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yeah, Get Out is one of those once-in-a-blue-moon kinds of nominations ala Ghost or The Sixth Sense. The box office created the Oscar buzz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I have a theory about horror films that become Oscar-nominated. With Silence of the Lambs and Get Out releasing in February, and with The Sixth Sense releasing in August, I think horror films are better off being presented away from the 'awards films' season so that they can stand out as a gem amongst their crowd. If one film is much better than the other films surrounding it, that film is poised to stand out much more, regardless of its genre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe all this hidden Phantom Thread love will be strong enough to push DDL to the top. Fingers crossed. This would literally be The Dream. I read in Variety and a few other outlets that the Academy members were going nuts for the film, and going out to the screeners in droves. Oldman is so over the top it verges on hilariously bad. You're not really immersed in the movie; rather going "YAAS, EAT IT" to Oldman's total commitment to chew every frame. Kaluuya is the exact opposite. His performance is subtle and layered. He and Peele created such a sense of dread, I was holding my breath the whole film. I can't speak to Washington and Chalamet as I haven't seen those performances. Out of the live action Hollywood films nominated this year, I only haven't see: Call Me By Your Name (I just can't bring myself to suffer through it), The Florida Project (Legit was in the theater for a week and gone), Roman Israel Esq (Didn't think it was getting nominated, so didn't trek out), and Victoria and Abdul (meh), and Wonder (Grandma saw it without me!).

The Panda Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I do think less typically baity films like Get Out, Dunkirk, The Martian, Gravity, etc. do better if they’re released early. It lets them stand out and not get clumped with the stream of awards releases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Honestly, Boss Baby getting an animation oscar nomination while Your Name sits in the dust is just further proof that the oscars are really a joke (as if anyone who frequently watches movies thought otherwise?) They should rename this category to best PIXAR or DREAMWORKS animation feature, would be closer to reality. release date is april 7th 2017 so it's elligible.

Your Name was a eligible for last years Oscars but got beat out due to a lot of strong competition. They're probably kicking themselves for not pushing it this year amongst a weak animation slate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 What? How is that possible? Did they release it in LA for like 3 days? If so, wow as you said, they must be kicking themselves right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Still embarrassed with Three Billboards nommed for its meh score. Even more when this year they had Coco to root for. AMPAS are constantly overlooking Giacchino's scores. The fact he didin't get nom for Inside Out, Coco, The Incredibles, Super 8, Apes, Doctor Strange, Rogue One... All of them overlooked for already forgotten scores like Sicario, Argo, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that Your Name snub, I blame Fun animation for doing such a poor campaign for Your Name. Honestly, Your Name is a type of movie that academy will go ga-ga for it, and that higher than usual total gross for Your name,about $4.5m suggest the film is quite a hit to american.... And your name is eligible only for 89th oscar, fun was making "fun" of the movies with just one weeks qualifying run without further push....its official wide release only come at April 2017. It's a $250m historical monster in Japan and big hit in China....how can they distributed the film like the way of others indie animated? in the case of boss baby, this year is really a weak year for animation, 5 slots was just too many for worthy nominees, it is widely expected some shit will get in with this weak slate....at least they don't go for cars 3 and DM3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) FUNimation should go out of business for how badly they botched Your Name domestically. It posted the 11th best anime gross DOM in spite of a non-existent marketing campaign, a pathetic 311 theater count, and no ties to Ghibli or an existing popular anime TV show like the 10 anime movies that have grossed more DOM. It could have easily eclipsed every anime DOM besides the first two Pokemon movies if it had gotten any kind of push and wide release. Then on top of it all, they completely fuck it over for awards with the nonsensical LA release at the end of 2016 well before its proper domestic release, when the competition for the year was already far too fierce for such a latecomer to the party to stand any chance. Especially going up against a very acclaimed Ghibli film. How they thought it stood a chance to get the nom given all that makes absolutely no sense. It could have been a landmark movie for anime films domestically in terms of success and recognition if they had handled it right. May have even stood a chance to pull out the Oscar over Coco.
