Oscar noms tomorrow: ONE nomination & ONE snub you are rooting for

Absolutely, and the nom for Octavia Spencer puts Shape of Water way out in front for the BP race.
Absolutely delighted Logan and Get Out got in there with noms. Neither has a hope of winning but still.
Lady Bird is definitely going to win Best Picture and Best Director for Greta Gerwig, because before the Golden Globes started; I thought to myself, "Call Me By Your Name should win the Oscars." But when the Time's Up movement started, I said to myself, "Lady Bird should win the Oscars and everybody would be happy about this."
It's going to happen, ladies and gentlemen and I hope some people would be happy.

Lady Bird was an acting/writing heavy movie, it was never going to pick up any technical noms. That's where the high nom counts come from for the big films usually.
Yeah, Del Toro always had Director in the bag... but the lack of a direction nom for Three Billboards is highly problematic.
Well... shit.
Strange that one of the movies I've liked least in a long time is so heavily nominated.
It's not really close. Hammy ass sequel baiting on resistance, bad pacing in moments, and the main villain shows up and disappears like he's Houdini. It has great characters, good story, incredible atmosphere, and powerful OST. Some swings and misses on execution. They did right not to give it a nom.
I saw more movies than I ever have before in 2017 thanks to MoviePass, but I'm still behind. Luckily a ton of the nominees are still in theaters and I can catch them over the next few weeks.
After seeing The Shape of Water last night, I'm genuinely surprised at the buzz it's getting. I thought it was good but it just felt lacking something to elevate it to true greatness to me. I will admit the directing and Hawkins' performance were stellar. But there was a lot of other stuff that dragged the movie down for me.
TLJ needs to win Sound Mixing and Sound Editing hands down, they do incredible things with sound in that movie.
If Deakins doesn't win for BR2049 (and he should) he never will.

Haven't seen Boss Baby but thank goodness Lego Batman didn't get nominated. What a disappointment that movie was
Three Billboards will sweep the acting, save for Laurie Metcalf. Gerwig wins best original screenplay, CMBYN wins best original screenplay, Nolan wins director, Three Billboards wins BP.
Technical categories are solely between BR and Dunkirk.
It's a shame, because Three Billboards is so mediocre it hurts me to say that, but I wasn't too hot on most of the nominees this year. I think CMYBN, Dunkirk, Lady Bird and Phantom Thread are the only ones that really stood out to me. This may be the first year I've ever seen everything nominated.

Really really happy with PTA getting directing. Redeems this year a lot. Good on them for kicking Franco too.
REMEMBER that Argo won BP without directing so 3BB is still the frontrunner.

In a world where Lady Bird and Darkest Hour (Gary Oldman in Makeup the Movie) get best picture noms, it's hard to say 2049 didn't deserve one.
I think del Toro is still the frontrunner. DGA will probably seal it.
They can nominate 10 films, rather only nominate 9 than considering Logan which is a comic book movie, or Coco is a animated movie or other films that are in the 'wrong' genre to get a best picture nomination
The Academy continues to treat their snobbish opinions with importance, and later they'll scramble reasons to question why their ratings continue to drop.

Opinions and all that, but I find it amazing that you found Three Billboards mediocre but think Dunkirk stood out.
Dunkirk is mediocrity through and through.

Dunkirk is mediocrity through and through.
The academy must really think the lego movies are made with actual legos and hence aren't animated.
Totally wide open field for Best Picture. I think the most deserving and least deserving possibilities got in, so atleast I'll have rooting interests. Was very surprised by the enthusiasm for Phantom Thread by the academy. Totally deserving but I figured it'd be a bit too weird for them.
You say this, and yet a super-popular horror film & a sci-fi film are BP front-runners. Which hasn't happened in ages.
Sometimes your favorite just isn't that good.
Del Toro is taking it. Really don't see LB getting BP either. It's going to be between 3B and TSOW.
British period movies about "important" subjects is catnip for Oscar voters.
agreed. I think that probably thinks he's gotten out while the getting was good.
A mere four films have ever won BP without having a BD nomination in the whole history of the Oscars. The last one to do so was Argo in 2012.
