RamRod Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 So last year I made a thread for the Oscars, probably too early, and it didn't get much discussion and died off and another one was made that got more discussion than mine and I was pretty salty about it. Well not this year. It's mid December and a lot of the contenders are out or coming out soon and the nominations will be announced next month. So it's not too early to hear some predictions or thoughts and get some discussion going. Host - Jimmy Kimmel Nominations announced - January 23rdAcademy Awards Ceremony - March 4th I'll probably add a poll later once the Best Picture nominees get announced. So far some contenders are looking like The Shape of Water The Disaster Artist Dunkirk Get Out Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Lady Bird The Florida Project Call Me By Your Name The Post Phantom Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 It would be nice to see Logan, Wonder Woman, Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, or another crowd-pleaser with great reviews get nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Logan might get shut out. Wonder Woman and Star Wars will probably get some nominations from the technical categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Logan getting shut out of nominations would be criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see any categories it could get nominations for, at least not any major ones. Plus, super hero films aren't typically big time players in the Academy Awards.

MacReady Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I swear if Gary Oldman doesn't at least get nominated I'm never watching the Oscars again. An Oldman nomination is literally the only thing that would get me to watch. Hopefully now that Harvey Weinstein got himself Weinstein'd, there will be less movies that win due to persistent intimidation and bullying. Can we go back and remove Shakespeare in Love's best picture win? And like 50% of the other best picture winners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Baby Driver deserves nominations for sound editing and mixing. Sound mixing more so than editing but I don't see why I wouldn't or shouldn't be nominated for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPPT1974 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Seems like the Independent Films are critics as well as Oscars favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it only makes sense that critic's favorite films are a lot of the same ones that are Oscar contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shape of Water-Fox/Fox Searchlight(Dec 15) The Post-Dreamworks/Fox/Amblin(Dec 22) Dunkirk-WB(188 mil) Three Billboards-Fox/Fox Searchlight(19 mil) Mudbound-Netflix(Nov 17 Netflix) Get Out-Universal(175 mil) All the Money in the World-Sony(Dec 25) The Greatest Showman-Fox(Dec 25) Lady Bird-A24(23 mil) The Florida Project-A24(5 mil) Darkest Hour-Focus(Dec 22) Phantom Thread-Focus(Dec 25) Call Me By Your Name-Sony Classic(3 mil) I, Tonya-Neon(250k, 4 theater limited release) The Disaster Artist-A24(6.5 mil) That right there is probably the top 15 films from where you will see the major nominees. 8 major studios, 7 small studios. Just because you havent heard of a movie doesnt mean its an independant film. Box office is added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve seen upwards of 10 films nominated for Best Picture and it 100% deserves one of those slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
