Registered 10 years agoNope, I have seen Blade Runner and TLJ.
Blade Runner should walk the sound categories. -
Personal thoughts: I fully expect Baby Driver to grab Best Sound Editing and I will set fire to my pissed-in boxers if Blade Runner 2049 doesn't win Best Sound Mixing, Best Cinematography and Best Special Effects.
A pity that Hugh Jackman or Patrick Stewart didn't even get so much as a nod for Logan, those were powerhouse performances, it's very unlikely to get Best Adapted Screenplay (that'll probably go to The Disaster Artist). -

I thought Florida Project would get a nod for best actress and possibly supporting.
Must be a few Disney execs on the committee. -

Suspect that Allison Janney will win Best Supporting Actress
Baby Driver for editing awards
Would love to see Get Out win one.
I suspect 3 Billboards will sweep up. Good to see Sam Rockwell nominated.
Anyone thinking that Wonder Woman would get a Best Picture nomination…lol

Although Get Out was "alright" in my book as a movie, I don't really consider it Oscar-worthy. That being said, while a vote for Get Out would certainly have an unwarranted political dimension to it, I must confess that I would enjoy the pained screeching and howling of the alt-right, Trumpsters, Kippers and assorted other Nazis and racists in response to it.
Would love to see Get Out win one.
I've just been reading Scott Mendelson's arguments in favour of Get Out, and to be honest, it illustrates why I don't respect him as a film journalist at all. His argument essentially boils down to the fact that the film is about racism told from the point of view of the persecuted, that it's "original" and "responsibly budgeted". I agree that its message is an essential one but it doesn't make the film culturally essential or inherently deep.
12 Years a Slave though, which carried essentially the same message, was highly deserving of its Best Picture Oscar.

In other words, she got her tits out, which sort of redeemed the whole dreadful experience.

She was good, but that was like how long ago? She's quickly turning into Tom Cruise for me, whereby I don't see the character I see Tom Cruise playing a character who looks like Tom Cruise.

I hope Alison Janney wins best supporting actress for I, Tonya she chewed up every scene she was in.
I expect Sorkin has best adapted screenplay in the bag for Molly's game.
As Hollywood has a culturally aware best picture last year I expect them to pat themselves on the back this year. I would expect the Shape of Water or the Post. If this is the Oscars of Metoo andyou may get an outside chance on Ladybird.
Original Screenplay is an open horse race because there is no Woody Allen, Sorkin or Kaufman this year

I guess the last few years of a continuous stream of incredible animation had to stop eventually.
Best Animated Feature Film

Get Out is absolute rubbish. Without doubt the worst ever movie to receive a Best Picture nomination. It doesn't function on any level, not even as a throwaway horror. I'm not kidding. -

Blade Runner 2049 deserves more credit. -
Really disappointed BR2049 didn't get more nominations. Should've had Best Pic and Director. Guess the Oscars don't want to be seen rewarding commercial failures.
