Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I'd love to know where you're getting your intel for this because stars seem ready to align for both him and Gilroy. Though that new title, sheesh... I know, that title, my god. Anyways, to answer your question; If we're going by statistics, If Gilroy couldn't produce an Oscar Nomination for Jake G...

The REAL point stands that 'Darkest Hour' won't get a Best Picture Nomination


I think that's what the moral of all of this is

Also, I'm sorry, but Denzel Washington in 'Roman Israel, Esq' IS NOT GOING TO GET NOMINATED.

Someone had to say it.

Alexander Payne making a dud - it was going to happen sooner or later. He has had a very impressive track record to date. Can't think of another working director who has delivered so many good films one after the other. Who knows, It might even be not that bad. Like I said, test screening audiences...

Slated for this year apparently, but most likely a dud I'm guessing. If it'll show up anywhere I'd say Toronto? Speaking of "duds." Downsizing's Screening Reactions haven't been so decent :? Then again, on the flip side, people who saw Test Screenings of 'La La Land' thought It would only...

Love we have a new thread set up that's away from all the drama/arguing I accidentally put a hand in doing, sowwy :P But anyways, I can't WAIT for the fall film festivals to come around, It'll give huge ammunition to films like: The Florida Project, Call Me By Your Name, Darkest Hour, Last Flag Flyi...

"Guadagnino's new film is also his sweetest, calmest, and loveliest. It sneaks up on you. Throughout, Guadagnino captures what first love feels like, in all its fumbling, awkward, confusing, terrifying, joyous glory." - Alex Heeney, Seventh Row "Couldn't be more seductive, from the s...

"Okay, this one's cheating a bit, as much of Team Mashable has already seen and loved Call Me By Your Name. But I'm telling you, guys: believe the hype. Luca Guadagnino's coming-of-age romance is nothing short of exquisite, pulsing with life and heady with desire. Featuring career-making perfor...

I haven't seen Call Me By Your Name but I know a few people who have seen it, they love it, but they don't think it's going to win because it's, for lack of a better word, too European. But it's clearly going to be a conversation piece which will keep it in the game, so it has to be considered some...

You might want to check your opinion of Wright at the door because opinion matters not with Academy voters. You may hate him, but the Academy doesn't. Anna Karenina received four nominations. Yes, they were all tech categories, but that's four for a film that had a 63 metacritic score. Pride & ...

So, historically, the Academy has shown an appreciation for his period work, which puts Darkest Hour into the positive column of options. 1 Time, 1 Time they did and they didn't even nominate him for Best Director. The 2nd Time was just for Tech Noms and an Acting Nom that was FAR from a Frontrunne...

Would any of us not have this on the top of our lists if Steven Soderbergh were directed? Steven Spielberg has been victim of his own dependability throughout his career and I expect this one will rack up several nominations, maybe a few wins, but probably not take Best Picture. THANK YOU! Of cours...

I. Steven Spielberg has directed three best picture nominees since Minority Report, two of them overtly political in nature. I see no reason to dismiss The Paper out of hand

Not going to win BP. That's for sure.

Torn between my love of lists and my desire to see my pet favourites represented somewhere and my disgust at the deterioration of the industry and critical integrity lol. That means your foresight sucks and you should stop then. There's no way Gary Oldman will win Best Actor. You're part of the pro...
