Moonlight is great, great indie but this is Oscar we’re talking about–it’s a tough sell.
Lion isn’t even a critic darling.
Jackie and Sully are your typical good Oscar bait biopic.

Personally right now it’s Manchester by the Sea and Hell or High Water. I’m waiting for La La Land, Fences and Silence.

So are mine, except for “The Birth Of A Nation”, which I would replace with “Moonlight.”

I haven’t seen Hacksaw yet. Also, those were mostly European critics. Lastly, you have to take the Gibson factor into account. When I see Hacksaw I may change my mind, but in a competitive and tight race it’s gonna be tough.

Rogue One is not getting a nod. Below the line maybe.

That’s why I stopped reading.

I like you Greg, I can already tell. And I appreciate the responses to our comments. There’s not enough of that on this site. I’m no Oscar expert, but I love this time of year and follow the races closely. I usually go to Awards Daily for my fix. I’m glad you’re covering everything on this site though, as it’s my favorite. Now about Hacksaw Ridge…I know people might still hate Mel Gibson, but I don’t think it’s going to inhibit Ridge from making an impact. In fact, the worst review it got was the one from this site, currently it’s one “rotten” one on rottentomatoes, where it’s sitting at a 96 percent. That’s the same score as La La Land, but mind you with less reviews. Where I think Hacksaw Rodge makes up ground though is with the common viewer, not the critic. For instance, your reviewer for the film seemed biased and I think let her liberal attitude influence her experience. Regular people relate to patriotism and sacrifice and heroes, even if they cite God as the source of their achievements. That’s why it had a 8.9 on IMDB, currently the highest score out of all the Oscar movies that have been seen so far. Now I haven’t seen it, so I may be way off base, but it’s just my thoughts.

I agree with Greg. Passengers isn’t getting any noms. Even technical one it could get, I think would go to Rogue One.

If Harvey puts money behind a campaign I’d believe it as a longshot. Right now? Pfftttt.

Yeah, caught and fixed. Gotta make a mistake somewhere.

Yes, we’re paying attention.
