This is shaping up to be one of those years where you know all the winners way in advance. Best Supporting Actress: Allison Janney Best Supporting Actor: Sam Rockwell Best Actor: Gary Oldman Best Actress: Frances McDormand Best Picture will likely be Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. However, there does seem to be some liberal backlash forming against that movie. The Shape of Water will probably get a ton of technical nominations. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Watch the guy in the red, is he jerking off? lol If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It's an interesting category this year as both Allison Janney and Laurie Metcalf are women around the age of 60 who, despite decades of film work, are much more celebrated as television stars. |

| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12511 | I'm pretty happy with these nominees. Particularly with all the love Get Out received. It's kind of amazing that Jordan Peele got nominated for Directing and Writing on his first movie. --- Best Original Screenplay The Big Sick Get Out Lady Bird The Shape of Water Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri I've seen all five of these movies, and this is a stacked category. ALL of them deserve to win. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I only saw Dunkirk and I was disappointed in the movie Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12511 | Best Picture Call Me By Your Name Darkest Hour Dunkirk Get Out Lady Bird Phantom Thread The Post The Shape of Water Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri I've seen most of these. Still need to see Call Me By Your Name and The Post (plan on seeing both by this weekend). I don't really want to see Darkest Hour. And I definitely don't want to see Phantom Thread. Out of the ones I've seen, Get Out is my favorite. Three Billboards is my second favorite. And Lady Bird would be my third choice. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
