Re: 2015 - 2016 Awards Season Discussion
Not sure I'd call Best film or Best director yet. But... I'd be close to already calling it for Miller to be in high praise coming the next couple/(few?) months.

It's shaping up to be a tight race between Anomalisa (RT Score is 100% w/ 9.5 out of 10 after 40 reviews) and Inside Out (RT Score is 98% w/ 9 out of 10 after 277 reviews), Amy looks like a lock for Best Documentary. I'm pulling for Anomalisa just on the basis that it's a crowd funded passion proejct, and you know, Charlie Kaufman working with Starburns.

Many feel this will be Ridley Scott's "Lifetime Achievement" Director Oscar, I have no links to back that up, but I've seen it discussed quite a bit.

I checked and National Board of Review has only matched the Oscars twice since 2000 (Slumdog Millionaire, 2008 and No Country for Old Men, 2007) and has picked such quirky titles as Moulin Rouge! and Quills as previous winners.

Re: 2015 - 2016 Awards Season Discussion
It's a great exercise in stylized filmmaking, but it makes Speed look like Citizen Kane in comparison. Count me as someone who just doesn't get what was so great about it. At this rate, movies like Pacific Rim should've been nominated.

Critics like the fact that Mad Max: Fury Road is more or less Shakespeare on wheels (the captured queen of a foreign land escapes with the wives she (suggested) helped steal for her captor and brings upon a war with the leader's warlord brothers for a family squabble over creating a rightful heir to his throne) with a dose of feminism thrown in. Pacific Rim, not so much, but there's usually 1 "big fx movie" nominated ever since the category expanded (District 9, Avatar, Inception, Gravity, etc; )

That and it has great filmmaking. You know... for a film w/ so much action... it really shouldn't be that great in today's film industry.

Re: 2015 - 2016 Awards Season Discussion
True, it's a very well made movie all around.
The New York Film Critics Circle is currently naming their bests of the year, the current winners are (holy crap they spew these out slowly):
Best film: Carol
Best director: Todd Haynes, Carol
Best actor: Michael Keaton, Spotlight
Best actress: Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
Best supporting actor: Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies
Best supporting actress: Kristen Stewart, Clouds of Sils Maria
Best screenplay: Carol, Phyllis Nagy
Best animated film: Inside Out
Best cinematography: Carol, Edward Lachman
Best first film: Son of Saul
Best foreign film: Timbuktu (Mauritania)
Best non-fiction film (documentary): In Jackson Heights, Frederick Wiseman
Special Awards: Ennio Morricone (Composer) for the Hateful Eight, Posthumous AWard for William Becker and Janus Films
It's actually a pretty well layered storyline. Certainly there's a lot of action, though oddly the "sped-up" aspect seems to vary and I'm not sure why. I watched a friends blu-ray copy which seemed to be sped up a lot more than the copy I had purchased off Vudu. The BD almost seemed overcranked which became annoying -- motion compensation settings somewhere perhaps.

Re: 2015 - 2016 Awards Season Discussion
I rented the Blu ray a few weeks back, there was a good chunk of sped up action. Doesn't help that Max is a completely pointless, one-note character until the last 15-20 minutes. I wish I gave a damn about any one character, but I couldn't. Maybe I'm supposed to be in awe of the camerawork and stunts, but it just seemed rehashed and nothing new or inventive. A well layered storyline? The movie jumps from one idea to the next without much thought except for the scene at hand. It's two chase scenes with some underdeveloped characterization, and in some circles it's the best film of the year? What a weak year for movies.

The New York Film Critics just tapped Michael Keaton as Best Actor for Spotlight. I love the guy, but I just saw Spotlight this weekend and there's no way that's a lead performance, let alone the best lead performance of the year.

It does kind of feel like a make-up award. But the film is 100% deserving should it win.
edit : Nope, it's Carol.

Not sure how much they really mean, probably nothing big, but the Boston Online Film critics pretty much gave their awards to Fury Road. Best film, best editing, best cinematography, best director, etc.

Re: 2015 - 2016 Awards Season Discussion
I wonder why Star Wars: TFA isn't part of the Oscar discussion? I realize that very few people have seen it but that doesn't stop other movies from joining the Oscar hype train. Yes, it's a big-budget genre movie, but if the reviews can match the rapturous buzz, then why can't it get a Best Picture nomination? They allow up to 10 nominees now and if the three LOTR movies and Avatar can get nominated (not to mention the original Star Wars getting a lot of Oscar love), then TFA should be part of the conversation too.
And for that matter, I hope Mad Max: Fury Road gets a Best Pic nom too. It's already getting some hardware!

Re: 2015 - 2016 Awards Season Discussion
Before awards season, I never heard word one about Kristen Stewart being a contender in the Supporting Actress category, but suddenly she looks like a major player.
Best Actor (and Supporting Actor) really looks wide open this year.
