Awards Season 2017: Movie edition (#notsowhite) *** Oscar Nominees ***


Mladen

Recommended Posts

Another year is passing by and with it, the movie critics and pundits are preparing for the Darwinian battle to get their hands on the gold statuettes. 2016 in many ways was interestingly crappy year, movies included. It seems that the pop culture has spoken and studios have blessed us with so little originality that it truly becomes absurd. The summer was one of the worst we had in years and everyone seems to be remaking something. But digging through the revivals, remakes, spinoffs and adaptations, one can find some truly amazing movies that can last for decades. And the noise following the couture, bling and the red carpet can sometimes be useful, if nothing, but to celebrate those movies that not so many people have seen.

So, let's get started... Down below, I will list the current Goldderby.com experts' predictions for this year's Oscars (in 6 main categories - Motion Picture, Director, Lead Actor and Actress, Supporting Actor and Actress).

I know I'm just a Florida housewife but one thing that really reminds me of this is when nominations involve limited release movies that I may never get to see in my small town. Jackie is barely out and it's nominated. It seems like there's so much studio manipulation with these awards. It's no longer just "for your consideration." Now it's consider this, this second, so you can nominate before Christmas even though the film will be widely released (if that,) in January.

Why on earth isn't there a category for best music in a TV series? Because Ramin Djawadi could have won it for either GoT (based on S6) or Westworld (which is IMO pretty close up there with Clint Mansell's soundtracking abilities).

I'm going to see La La Land on Thursday. But there are still so many other award-nominees still to see.

LaLa Land was on my to-see list anyway. Hope it is good. I've listened to some of the music and loved it. Not really watched a good musical for a while. I do love Emma Stone though.

The problem with the movie awards is that I can never really say how I feel about them because in many cases the damn things haven't even been released yet in the U.K. 

Edit: whoops, this is only for the movie results

Haven't seen La La Land (and don't really have any desire to), but I would have thought HoHW had a good shot at a best screenplay award. Oh well. 

Yeah La Land doesn't interest me at all. Was one of the few people who thought Whiplash was mediocre.

Pleased to see both Nocturnal Animals and Arrival up for cinematography, especially the former.

Going to see La La Land tomorrow, trying to keep an open mind, but difficult with the level of hype around it.

Gosh, ok, two stellar performances there. I see why people are knocked back by the film. It's not what I expected AND I expected it to have a happy ending but...it didn't. It made me sad. I don't want to live in a world where Ryan Gosling gets old. :(

I'm going to see La La Land the day after tomorrow. I'm curious to see whether I'll love it. I'm pretty sure I'll like it, but part of the subject matter (LA rules) still doesn't look promising. Right now, based on everything I know I'm going to root for Moonlight for all the awards. Haven't seen it or many other films on this list, but you just know La La Land is going to sweep the damn oscars with the masturbatory 'LA is great, everyone wants to be here, aren't we great' subject.

If you haven't seen it, maybe you should be careful.

Cause I felt this exact way after reading an article about "hurr durr, Hollywood sucking its own dick" before seeing it and it really is oversold imo. It's not a movie about Hollywood. Hollywood is there, insofar as nostalgia is there (nostalgia for Jazz is imo more prevalent) and you can't avoid Hollywood,  but it's more a story about artistic endeavor.

It's a very lazy critique that's spread far and wide  by reporters with a narrative in mind in my opinion.

But yes, La La Land is the popular kid to root against. It was good for me but not worth months of suspense till it sweeps the Oscars. I've already forgotten most of the music and pieces.
