Giving The Post three of the top four awards is soooo NBR.

And I say that as the ilxor who will probably wind up liking the movie the most.
Even still, the Nat'l Board of Review doesn't know how to count.

Willem Dafoe, The Florida Project
the grossest win

How will you keep track of all your betes noir this year?

have you seen my worst songs project? They're in my blood.

I'm sure I'll have no room to rib once I catch Downsizing.

Maybe Oscar will do us all the favor of giving all 5 best actor slots to actresses instead this year:

Welp, so much for Get Out's best film hopes, probably:
BEST FIRST FILM: GET OUT (JORDAN PEELE)— Sidney Falco (@Sidney_Falco) November 30, 2017
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:05 (six years ago) link
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: PBM (BEATS PER MINUTE) / ROBIN CAMPILLO #NYFCC— Sidney Falco (@Sidney_Falco) November 30, 2017
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:16 (six years ago) link
In case they end up deleting that typo tweet, best foreign film was BPM
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:17 (six years ago) link
did Lady Macbeth get a US release?
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:19 (six years ago) link
Get Out's guaranteed an Oscar slot, I reckon.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:26 (six years ago) link
BEST NONFICTION FILM: FACES PLACES (AGNES VARDA) #NYFCC— Sidney Falco (@Sidney_Falco) November 30, 2017
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:31 (six years ago) link
Mild surprise over BPM.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:35 (six years ago) link
What would you have expected over it at this point? Doesn't seem like there's any Toni Erdmanns in the mix this year to dominate over all.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:37 (six years ago) link
Well, speaking of categories that seem a little thin on competition this year:
BEST ANIMATED FILM: COCO (LEE UNKRICH, ADRIAN MOLINA) #NYFCC— Sidney Falco (@Sidney_Falco) November 30, 2017
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:47 (six years ago) link
yes jed, Lady Macbeth was in theaters for about a minute
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.),
The Square or Thelma?
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:51 (six years ago) link
or Nocturama (which was better reviewed in NY than The Square i think)
have no idea what the critical standing of this year's imminent Haneke is.
BPM would be my choice for best film right now
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:53 (six years ago) link
thinking Call Me By Your Name is a good guess for NY's top choice, unless there's a Dunkirk faction.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:55 (six years ago) link
The former is far more divisive than BPM. The latter is much less in the conversation.
xps yeah, Nocturama would be that candidate if it weren't so controversial.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:59 (six years ago) link
They've invited 8 new members, and only one of them has what I'd consider Dunkirkian tastes.
no one liked the haneke much iirc

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: MUDBOUND / RACHEL MORRISON #NYFCC— Sidney Falco (@Sidney_Falco) November 30, 2017

fuck-yew

Somewhere, Michael Stuhlbarg weeps and wishes he'd gotten more than one scene.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: TIFFANY HADDISH / GIRLS TRIP #NYFCC— Sidney Falco (@Sidney_Falco) November 30, 2017
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 17:56 (six years ago) link
i guess Dafoe might be the inevitable one down the line this year
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 30 November 2017 17:59 (six years ago) link
ah, the Young Turks dig deep for some unwatchable comedy?
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 30 November 2017 18:01 (six years ago) link
xp Possibly. His category is the least stacked with alternatives.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 18:01 (six years ago) link
i have no idea who Tiffany Haddish is. This an all-out broadly comic role?
I did like Malcolm Lee's Undercover Brother, but damn that was a long time ago.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 30 November 2017 18:11 (six years ago) link
hoping my beloved Cynthia Nixon takes it
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 30 November 2017 18:11 (six years ago) link
(watch they pull some Kate Winslet bullshit)
the Winslet sizzle of October seems to have cooled some
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 30 November 2017 18:14 (six years ago) link
Yep, to put it far too reductively, she's the Melissa McCarthy Bridesmaids force in Girls Trip. Very broad, very unsubtle, very funny.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 November 2017 18:14 (six years ago) link
BEST ACTOR: TIMOTHEE CHALAMET / CALL ME BY YOUR NAME #NYFCC— Sidney Falco (@Sidney_Falco) November 30, 2017
No issues with that choice either tbh. These are going well enough that I can't wait for them to top the last-minute La La Land win in sheer eleventh-hour awfulness.
