HER???? @ The Boss Baby.

Rachel Morrison is the first female cinematographer to be nominated.

13 noms for The Shape of Water! Awesome! I am so rooting for Sally Hawkins and Octavia Spencer to win their categories.

Can't wait for the salt when Get Out wins nothing.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[morieris]

I'd love for it to win but I know better, it's a really strong year that kind of tilts more in favor of Water and Billboards.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like Lady Bird is more the favorite than Water or Billboards - Water and Billboards both feel a lot more divided in terms of audience reactions.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[morieris]

According to AwardsWatch, BP wins per movie from a variety of City-Wide Critic Groups across the country (& Vancouver)

Get Out: 10
Water: 6 (7 if you count the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival)
Lady Bird: 9 (10, counting the Globes)
Billboards: 4 (5, counting the Globes)


So you're on to something, though ordinary audience member reactions don't matter, but AMPAS is so large, there's bound to be a few ordinary opinions that sneak in.

Why? It's a really good movie that's certainly Oscar caliber.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

Because every category it is nominated in has a better winner that is more Oscar friendly.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

All the winners will be Shape of the Water or Ladybird related. Call Me By Your Name might get one.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

From your lips to the voters' ears, nonnie. I just want Three Billboards to get shut out.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

I have heard of like... less than a third of these movies.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

Really? I feel like the nominees this year are particularly mainstream and visible. At least in the major categories.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

You need to... get out more.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

I have very simple tastes in movies.

Stuff go boom.

People go boom.

Entrails go boom.

Welcome to The Oscars

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[unspeakablyevil]

apparently, even the judges haven't seen all the movies.

this is especially true of animated films. very few judges even watch the films they're nominating.

if i cared any less about the awards i wouldn't be commenting

award shows suck

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[morieris]

Go on.

NAYRT - Don't rain on my squee.

(Actually, I don't care that much either, but it doesn't matter. People are excited. Let them be excited and start a thread for something you're happy about.)

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Does Grinding Nemo have enough metafictional cinema references to overcome the Academy's anti-SFF bias?

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[(Anonymous)]

I read an article today arguing that yes, yes it does. Or at least that it's sufficiently and relevantly political (the main characters are a white woman who's sexually harassed by her boss, a black woman, and a gay man) to have a shot.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[cbrachyrhynchos]

I hope that's not why, they happen but they're not the top themes.

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

[rosehiptea]

A white woman with a disability!

(Not getting into this discussion, just saying.)

(I will be laughing at "Grinding Nemo" for hours now)

Re: Oscar Nominations are OUT!

lmao stop

every time you post Grinding Nemo I'm dying
