Barely anything for Hateful Eight. Surprised.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations

It doesn't surprise me too much, it was a slightly stilted stage play and it never lets you forget it.

No nomination for Ridley Scott means George Miller will probably get a win.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations

Yeah but Spotlight and Straight Outta Compton as original screenplays? I guess they're within the submission guidelines, but that seems strange. Even Bridge of Spies is based on real events.

Lenny Abrahamson should win director.

Still used the N-word more than Straight Outta Compton, which did get a screenplay nod.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations

I haven't seen any of the films yet. Looking forward to the 2016 AMC Best Picture Showcase.

I'm not surprised that The Hateful Eight didn't get much. Reading about it, it seems to have been less well received than Django Unchained or Inglorious Basterds. I'm surprised Sicario didn't get nominated for best picture.

Spotlight I get because it's about the writing of articles, not an adaptation of those articles. Straight Outta Compton wasn't a particularly strong screenplay imho, but it's also legally based on research and not a book or biography.

Disagree whole heartedly. Though Brie Larson definitely deserved her nom.

A little surprised that TFA couldn't sneak into the Best Picture category.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations

Ok, so we have a couple people on here who think Mad Max is outstanding. Was the damn thing THAT good?

I still haven't seen it but did DVR its first showing on cable the other night.

Shocked at how many nominations it got.

On another note, I am thrilled to see Room get a bunch of the big nominations. It was fantastic. So happy for Brie Larson and the director.

Ah, that reasoning makes sense. I assume Bridge of Spies is the same deal.

When Tarantino told an interviewer recently that he hoped one day they would call the Best Original Screenplay Oscar the "Quentin", I knew he screwed himself over with hubris.

More surprised by the Best Director snub for Sir Ridley. Thought this might have been his year.

Looks like Best Picture will be between The Revenant and Spotlight.

IMO, no. I'm not saying it's bad by any means. But Best Picture? Best Director? No.

Damn, Yeah that certainly doesn't help. I know he's been saying repeatedly that he's among only two other people to win twice (including Woody Allen), so that might also be part of it.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations

Sylvester Stallone is totally winning that Oscar. Did you see the standing ovation he got at the GGs?

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations

I know there's a lot of defenders of Hateful Eight here, but it was by far his weakest screenplay imho. The dialog wasn't strong, the plot was about as weak as can be, there was no character depth, etc; but there were some pretty entertaining scenes in it.

And she deserves to win.

I'm happy Saoirse got a nom too.

Re: 2016 Oscar Nominations

no nomination for 'Ant Man's visual effects - wow, that sucks. 'The Revenant's effects notably the wolves were laughable.

'The Look of Silence' was far superior in my mind than 'The Act of Killing'

That doesn't surprise me, Ant-man's effects were primarily full CG sequences (the bathtub and brief case being brutally obvious about that). Though the giant Thomas the Tank Engine was well done.

Good to know, sounded interesting, didn't really like Act of Killing.

Yep, although I would be just fine with George Miller winning it.
