Re: Contenders 2016 La La Land 5 for 5 in perfect scores thus far, and Kris Tapley makes it sound like the film to beat for Best Picture: http://variety.com/2016/film/in-content ... 201848405/wowza.

Re: Contenders 2016 Yea this is now Best Picture frontrunner. A musical about an actress is AMPAs catnip.

Re: Contenders 2016 Reviews for Sully are solid, but I am not sure they are passionate enough for it to endure through the chaos of awards season. Might end up a rough equivalent to Black Mass last year.

Re: Contenders 2016 Moonlight seems to be receiving considerable praise after its debut at Telluride as well. Seems likely to capitalize on the buzz Birth of a Nation has lost with the negative press coverage. Quote: david ehrlich ✔ @davidehrlich
MOONLIGHT is *MAGNIFICENT.* a specific but utterly symphonic portrait of masculinity in the modern world. every shot is seared into my brain
david ehrlich ✔ @davidehrlich
MOONLIGHT is also a devastatingly beautiful love story. to put in the most reductive terms possible, think CAROL by way of Frank Ocean.

MOONLIGHT has a third act that's as exquisitely observed, filmed, and acted as anything in years. Stunning

Re: Contenders 2016 Also: Both of Amy Adams' movies (Arrival and Nocturnal Animals) are receiving early praise. She could be in the running for two different performances this year.

Re: Contenders 2016 I think it is coming out in 2017 so therefore not eligible for this thread, but Happy End will surely be a force on the 2018 awards circuit.

Re: Contenders 2016 Jackie, with Natalie Portman, getting raves at Venice. Portman is back in the hunt for another nom.

Re: Contenders 2016 It is such Oscar bait. I hope it loses traction.

Re: Contenders 2016 Sully must be a contender now. The reviews are better than for American Sniper and this is Eastwood/Hanks. They have traction within the Academy.

Re: Contenders 2016 Should be another Bridge of Spies, except with a better box office. A similar multiplier from the OW would push Sully to over $150m.

Re: Contenders 2016 I wonder if Hanks will finally get another nod, after missing out for Captain Phillips and Bridge of Spies.

Re: Contenders 2016 Fox Searchlight bought Jackie last night and has already set a December 9th release date. Based on reviews Natalie Portman seems like a lock for a nomination.

Re: Contenders 2016 Best Actress is going to be super-competitive this year, and we still have Bening, Chastain, and Blunt as potential candidates.

Re: Contenders 2016 Jackie sounds like it is going to be a major contender in several categories, not just Actress. Portman is getting serious raves for it, though. Possibly even better reviews than she had for Black Swan.
Current predictions for Actress, FWIW:
Amy Adams, Arrival
Viola Davis, Fences
Isabelle Huppert, Elle
Natalie Portman, Jackie
Emma Stone, La La Land

Re: Contenders 2016 I'd replace Huppert with Negga, and think Adams is the next one to bump because her performance seems to be less showy than the others.
