Ruth Negga!
Kate Beckinsale!? Snubbed! she just won London Critic's Circle prize as well.

At first glance, that's one of the less objectionable list of nominees I've seen in some time.
Is this the first year Pixar was shut out of Best Animated Feature?

As usual, a few things I'm looking forward to (Arrival, Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight) and a bunch more that I have zero interest in ever watching.
The biggest surprise, for me, glancing at the list is that the love for the mediocre Hell or High Water lasted all the way to Oscar season.

A couple of milestones I noticed:
- first time there's been a black nominee in each of the four acting categories- first time that black actors have been in the majority in a category (supporting actress: Davis, Harris, Spencer)

on that score, “Fire at Sea” is largely about North Africans attempting to perilously emigrate to Europe.

that's one of the stronger best documentary lineups I've seen
La La Land, with 14 nominations, ties the record of "most nominations ever" with Titanic and All About Eve
Wow, I didn't realize it was one of the greatest films ever, but I guess Oscar has spoken!
― Transformed From The Norm By The Nuclear Goop (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 15:49 (seven years ago) link
the kid is only in the first 10-15 mins.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 15:49 (seven years ago) link
No way, the kid is the star for half the movie. Dev Patel doesn't show up until a full hour in.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 15:50 (seven years ago) link
20th nomination for Robostreep; she'll keep getting em after she expires if they digitize her into new things.
First year a John Williams score hasn't been nominated since '92.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 15:53 (seven years ago) link
have you seen her last couple movies? She's digitized already.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 15:54 (seven years ago) link
the kid in the first 45 minutes >> Patel
Kidman's nod is a joke too.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 15:55 (seven years ago) link
Posted in the wrong thread--very glad they had the good sense to nominate O.J. They've overlooked many other documentaries for the most specious of reasons (not sure if the television angle always kept Wiseman out), so it's good that they got this one right.

No Beckinsale or Grant, now that's a turn up as I'd bet they'll win the BAFTA in their respective categories.

the critics are raving about HACKSAW RIDGE!!!
Rex Reed of Observer rated the film with four stars and called it "the best war film since Saving Private Ryan. It is violent, harrowing, heartbreaking and unforgettable."
Michael Smith of Tulsa World called Hacksaw Ridge a "moving character study" and praised both the direction and acting. He observed: "It’s truly remarkable how Gibson can film scenes of such heartfelt emotion with such sweet subtlety as easily as he stages some of the most vicious, visual scenes of violence that you will ever see. ... Hacksaw Ridge is beautiful and brutal, and that’s a potent combination for a movie about a man determined to serve his country, as well as his soul."
IGN critic Alex Welch gave the film a score of 8/10, and praising it as "one of the most successful war films of recent memory" and "at times horrifying, inspiring, and heart-wrenching."
Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a positive review, praising Gibson's direction, and saying: "There are two moments during the second half of Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge when I literally jumped out of my seat in terror. The film's depiction of war is the best I’ve seen since Saving Private Ryan."
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3.5 stars and praised it as "the best war film since Saving Private Ryan and wrote: "Thanks to some of the greatest battle scenes ever filmed, Gibson once again shows his staggering gifts as a filmmaker, able to juxtapose savagery with aching tenderness." He added: "[I]t is violent, harrowing, heartbreaking and unforgettable. And yes, it was directed by Mel Gibson. He deserves a medal, too."
Matt Zoller Seitz for RogerEbert.com gave 2.5 stars out of 4 and described it as "inept and beautiful, stupid and amazing."
― nomar, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:24 (seven years ago) link
The first half of Hacksaw – about all I could stand before sticking the screener in my blender – was so awful that I can't imagine I care about "realistic" battles.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:25 (seven years ago) link
guess everyone is trying to frame Gibson's ability to not get caught saying anything antisemitic or racist on tape in a few years as a "comeback"

The Gibson thing is wild to me because it's obvious that movie clearly doesn't have a fucking chance against Moonlight or La La Land or Manchester by the Sea, so they could have given that slot to Kubo and the Two Strings or whatever
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:38 (seven years ago) link
easily the worst of the nominees (Lion is conventional lachrymose Oscarbait).

It's probably telling that I heard about Hacksaw Ridge loooooooooong before I heard that it was directed by Mel Gibson.

With a modified card, even if the presenters had gotten the wrong one, none of this would have happened because the presenters would’ve looked at it and one of two things would’ve happened: Their eyes would’ve read “Best Actress” or “Emma Stone.” Reading either of those would indicate that this wasn’t the card for Best Picture, and they would’ve asked Jimmy Kimmel or a producer to the stage to get it corrected.The card needed to be written and designed in a way that makes it clear to the reader only the essential information.
