Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I have a few words for this, I hope you don't mind. Not trying to be rude or confrontational. Just my thoughts. BEST PICTURE Call Me by Your Name Darkest Hour Dunkirk Get Out Lady Bird The Post * The Shape of Water Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri I'd say this lineup is almost perfect. All ...

Dunkirk - Globe and BAFTA
Three Billboards - SAG Ensemble and Oscar
Lady Bird - PGA?

And we have the long-standing trend of male-dominated films being the stronger best picture contenders. This year, though, seems like it's going to be different -- with Shape of Water/Three Billboards/Lady Bird, we might have the greatest best-picture-to-best-actress correlation in some time. That ...

There's no unchallenged frontrunner here like 'La La Land' was--last year, folks. 'Dunkirk' isn't even the 'closet thing' towards one. The best comparison I can have for this, is probably the race from 2007. The winner for every Awards Show could differ. For instance... The Shape of Water - Golden G...

Call Me By Your Name is certain to be a Fox News whipping boy More like one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year--much like 'Moonlight' was. It's LGBT themes, are also stronger than the former. It's probably going to get the most 2 and 3 votes too. It seems like you're underestimating...

anonymous1980 wrote Kind of unfair to the film if that happens (Haven't seen it but I am reading the book) since it IS about a consensual relationship. If The Reader can get nominated and win an Oscar, Call Me By Your Name sure deserves a chance. Though there hasn't been much objection to the film'...

ATTENTION: If you're predicting a Film to win Best Picture, that's not winning either of the Screenplay Awards. Well ...

Yeah Call Me By Your Name is not likely to win Best Picture like so many have been predicting. I thought this a while ago, because you know an issue will be made of the age difference in the characters, even though it is consensual and the younger is supposed to be 17 believe, which is legal in mos...

Appy-polly loggies. I intended to speak of 'All The Money in the World', not CMYBN. Sorry Lads.

Best Original Screenplay could end up housing Darkest Hour and The Post. Doubt it--'Adapted' seems really weak this year. There's even some predicting Mudbound in the category. One of them is bound to switch. Original is too packed: The Big Sick, Lady Bird, Get Out, Three Billboards, Shape of Water...
