The Academy seems to have really liked Phantom Thread, while not liking The Disaster Artist very much...

My worthless predictions:

- The Post will win Best Picture, because the Academy will want to stick it to Trump.

- Oldman will win Best Actor, because he ought to.

- Hawkins will win Best Actress.

Not enough cross-dressing.

Quote from: Malthus on January 23, 2018, 09:45:39 AM- Hawkins will win Best Actress.

According to all the predictions I've seen that one is McDormand's to loose.

The Post seems to lack nominations in heavyweight departments to really win BP. I think it wouldn't have been nominated if it was still just 5 nominees.

I'd say it lacks nominations, full stop.  :P It has only been nominated for Best Picture and Best Actress, which for Meryl Streep I assume is almost customary.

My guess is they're so sensitive to the #METOO, women will win everything. Even Best Male Actor

Funny that Plummer has been nominated too, given how he landed the part. To be honest after seeing the movie (which is allright, but nothing to write home about) it's really difficult to picture anybody else in that role.

I say that Gary Oldman will get it for playing Churchill in Darkest Hour.

Yeah, that one is almost assuredly a lock.

Just saw Darkest Hour. Oldman is superb as has been noted by everyone alive, but so is King George (actor's name eludes me). Up there with Colin Firth imo.

Sadly, just like Dunkirk one scene at the end partly ruins an otherwise very good movie.

The screenwriter for The Revenant has joined Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek movie.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

After checking Wiki, it seems King George was played by Australian Ben Mendehlson, who you might remember as Krennic from Rogue One.
