We all know Chazelles got this but I would love for Mel to win. A real shot to all the thin skinned warriors who cant hear about harsh words and behavior.
Ben Foster is my go to..oh that guy is in it, I love that guy! I don't follow what he's up to but always happy to see his name. He was fucking awesome in Alpha Dog.

Really cool to see Hell or High Water get a BP nod. I really enjoyed that movie. I loved Arrival.
Guessing La La Land is the darling but maybe Moonlight is the dark horse? (I didn't see either but those two seem to be the most discussed).
Kubo and the Two Strings was great too.

I like Moonlight, but some of the performances held it back for me ultimately. I think it's probably going to be something along the lines of what you described for these two pictures.
I think that, due to Academy rules, Your Name couldn't be nominated this year? He might get the nomination next year, as he comes out in the US in 2017. Not entirely sure though.

That's an extremely strong line-up for Animated Feature. And that's without Finding Dory even making the list.
I hope so. Way better than City of Stars, even if that's the one everyone ends up humming.

I'm not a big movie-goer so the only one I've seen is Arrival, which was amazing.
AFAIK, it had a one-week run in L.A., thus being able to get nominated.

Kubo is the weakest link in that category, yes it looks absolutely phenomenal but the movie itself is weak.

Also..why is that OJ movie in there?
Wasn't that a 30 for 30 and wasn't it 10 hours long.
It was really good but is that really a documentary movie?

Haven't seen it yet so you can lay down the sword for now.

I warned you guys in the Your Name thread not to get your hopes up.
That GKIDS lobby and the Red Turtle push effectively froze it out.
If they wanted to land an Oscar nom, they needed to wait until next year with a less-crowded field.
At least the LA Film Critics gave it some love. That's your consolation prize.
That... and the fact that it's made a shit load of money.
Yeah. It had a very limited theatrical release.

John Goodman deserved a nom for 10 Cloverfield Lane

Can the La La Land backlash start now that it got a record number of nominations?
I can't remember a movie that tried so hard to be liked and it was such a slam dunk Oscar bait. It worked I guess

they played it in cinemas so it qualifies.
they played the system basically.
Okay, then it should've been nominated. The animated feature category is always a mixed bag though, due to lots of votees not giving a damn about it and just voting for the name they recognize.
Haven't seen Your Name (not slated yet for release over here in Belgium, I fear I'll have to wait untill the UK blu ray drops in 8 months or so :/ ), but I hear great things from it, so it should easily have gotten the nomination in stead of Moana, which in my opinion can't hold a candle to any of the other nominies at all.

Oh. Jimmy Kimmel is hosting this thing?
Yep. Hollywood loves nothing more than jerking itself off.
that joke went over your head

Did Your Name get snubbed or was it not eligible for best animated film? I don't remember if it came out in the US.
It was made as part of 30 for 30.
They did screen it as an 8-hour long documentary in theaters briefly, so it's eligible.

Wish we got more Silence noms, for Marty and Prieto at least, and Streep bleh. But the rest is cool.
La La Land will win almost everything but actor I reckon. Maybe Manchester will pick up OS, maybe a shock Jenkins win.

I'd take any of the lead actors winning. Supporting, Ali deserves it but it wouldn't be the worst if Michael Shannon gets it.

Your Name didn't even get nominated. Too many animated films are released these days.

Suicide squad is a oscar nominated movie?
How can you say that with a straight face when Moana is in that list?
Kubo at least pulled some heartstrings (it's a beautiful tale about coping with loss actually), Moana had only it's music and visuals going for it imo.

Hasn't come out in the US at least on a massive scale. I'm pretty sure that it hasn't released, period though.
This category should be eliminated to be honest. It's the "let's reward Disney/Pixar" award.
Didn't come out in the US yet.
