Ugh, I'm sure Viola is great but I was rooting for Michelle to finally take it.

Re: Contenders 2016
That's silly.
Didn't Joy or Creed or some other film do the same last year?

Re: Contenders 2016
I wonder why Jim Jarmusch's Paterson is not a contender. It has the best reviews of Jarmusch's career and Jarmusch is an acclaimed filmmaker that has been under the radar for so long. It would be the opportunity to finally show him some recognitin, but even the Spirit Awards did not nominate it for anything. Adam Driver should be in contetion for a Best Actor nom.

Re: Contenders 2016
I haven't seen it yet, but it seems SO small. A bittersweet, low-key quasi-comedy focused on Adam Driver's travails as a small-town bus driver. And Jim Jarmusch may be too much of a cult figure for there to even be a strong feeling of, "We need to get around to rewarding him for his career."

Re: Contenders 2016
So, I've seen La La Land yesterday and Hidden Figures and Jackie back to back today. Can't talk about Hidden Figures, there is a ridiculous embargo on it (but, um, it is exactly how you'd expect it after the trailer). Jackie features a phenomenal Portman, but the film is so inaccessible, I thought. Very detached. Now I know why the NBR didn't go for it.
And La La Land. Well, it's winning BP. No question about it.

It's funny how The Birth of a Nation has yet to receive a single mention ANYWHERE.

But what is going on with Silence? Clearly the reviews are strong...

Yeah, because Casey Affleck didn't rape anyone.

Right, because verbal abuse and sexual harassment is sooooooooooooo much better!

Re: Contenders 2016
It is better. That's all that matters. And it didn't just come out in the press. Give it a few years and society may forgive Nate. But now he's rightfully in the doghouse.
