Re: 2017 Oscar Nominations

I'll be interested to see how the Animated Feature category goes. Zootopia, Moana, Finding Dory, Kubo and the Two Strings, The Secret Life of Pets, etc. There were several excellent animated films this year. Even the not-so-great ones (Trolls, anyone?) were, surprisingly, not necessarily the terrible garbage I expected them to be.

I think I'd have to give it to Zootopia but it's a tight race for me.

Kubo, Moana and Zootopia were the better of the mainstream bunch. Seems fair. I haven't seen My Life as a Zucchini but it regularly gets a lot of love, and I'm always happy to see Ghibli get nominated for stuff (The Red Turtle) -- even if it wasn't made in-house.

I'm glad to see how much love Arrival got, but Amy Adams was robbed. But for Viggo.

I'm stunned Amy Adams wasn't nominated for either of her roles. She is the new Meryl. Sit down real Meryl.

Probably a split vote, some said Arrival, some said Nocturnal, and they canceled each other out.

Well, Finding Dory joins a short list of PIXAR films (Monsters University, Cars 2, and The Good Dinosaur) to get zero Academy Award nominations.

Re: 2017 Oscar Nominations

I must be mis-remembering but I thought the Academy decided to get rid of the up-to-10 BP nominees.

I'm kind of surprised to see Hidden Figures and Hell or High Water on the BP list.

Glad to see Mel Gibson get some love, though I suspect La La Land's will take home Best Picture and Best Director.

This is Casey Affleck's year.

Re: 2017 Oscar Nominations

interesting that two movies that skirched in in 2016 (LA snd New York City only) "Silence" and "20th Century Women" - only got one nom for each - that mode of theatrical exhibition Oscar qualification kind of bit those movies in the asses

20th Century Women got a nom for what it should've. Benning didn't deserve an actress nom.

Yes she was.

Wow, only his second Oscar nom. For some reason I thought he was also nominated for A History of Violence and A Dangerous Method.
Speaking of which, I'd love for him to do another film with David Cronenberg.

Liked Jeff Bridges in Hell or High Water but felt that Ben Foster should've been the one nominated.

Re: 2017 Oscar Nominations

Really estatic for that Ruth Negga. Such a brilliant and understated performance the kind that is less often recognized especially when she was not doing too good with Precursors and the film overall was not a real threat for a BP nom. And Michael Shannon too is another nice surprise,dude is consistently great.

Re: 2017 Oscar Nominations

What happened to having the head of the Academy and a actor or actress reading the nominees like they usually do?

I watched that awful show GMA and they stretched it out to 15 minutes.

E! use to carry it live.

No nominations for Tom Hanks or Eastwood.

There was some overtures about changing the format, but the Academy decided against it. I'm fine with that. Hidden Figures is exactly the sort of high-quality audience-pleaser that benefits from expanding the BP list and brings more viewers to watch the show.

Partly due to the backlash from last year, I think African-American films and actors are going to absolutely clean up this year, perhaps even to the point of sweeping the major categories (yes, I know Negga is actually African-Irish). I seriously doubt a sweep, but I think there will be a lot of wins.

If their were only 5 noms it's hard to tell where their top 5 would be. Arrival had the Adams snub, despite getting every big tech branch,Hacksaw had no screenplay nom,Hidden Figures had only 2 other noms besides BP but in the field of 5 they often had crowd pleasing box office hits that were non existent in tech noms(Field Of Dreams,Four Wedding,Full Monty,Breaking Away)

If I had to guess Fences,Lion and Hell Or High Water were 7-9 and Hacksaw Ridge,Arrival and Hidden Figures were somewhere btwn 4-6

Ali and Davis would probably be the front runners even without the backlash from last year.

Just read that Viola Davis is the first African American actress to receive three acting nominations. She is going to win easily.

There's really no question Kubo is going to win that category, running away.

I liked all of the movies though. Animated features are really getting quite good.

Also, we now live in a world where the Afflecks are Oscar royalty. Amazing.

There really aren't alot of Pixar films in actuality. And truthfully, none of those films deserved a nom.
