From the Globe nominees I have seen Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight, Deadpool, Sing Street, Nocturnal Animals, Loving, Captain Fantastic, Arrival, Miss Sloane, Elle, Jackie, The Lobster, Rules Don't Apply, The Edge of Seventeen, Kubu and the Two Strings, Moana, and Zootopia.
I'll be seeing La La Land on Friday (been listening to the soundtrack for days, now), and whenever they make their way here, Fences and Hidden Figures (both due Christmas Day, in my neck of the woods) as well as 20th Century Women. I did not seen earlier releases Florence Foster Jenkins or War Dogs or the current release Trolls. I haven't heard yet if Scorsese's Silence screened in time to make the Golden Globe ballots, or if the HFPA simply didn't go for it? Based on what and who they have nominated in the past, Silence as well as Eastwood's Sully may yet grab some of the highest profile nominations from the Academy, and Hidden Figures, Loving, and Jackie may do better than Hacksaw Ridge, Lion, and Florence Foster Jenkins did here. Not sure how Hell or High Water will do at the Oscars, but I like that movie a whole lot, so I hope well. Oscar nominations are announced the morning of Tuesday January 24th, 2017, sixteen days after the Golden Globes ceremony. |
Deadpool was nominated for... well, anything? :tsk:
Alas. Westworld go! |
Re: 2017 Golden Globe Nominations, Film
Happy for Sing Street.
Surprised as hell for Deadpool. |
Re: 2017 Golden Globe Nominations, Film
Hell or High Water was a great film. I'm glad it got a Best Picture nod.

Fair enough. What about La La Land? Have you seen that or is that for a similar reason?

Re: 2017 Golden Globe Nominations, Film

Re: 2017 Golden Globe Nominations, Film
You're telling me that Jared Leto sent all those condoms for nothing?!
But seriously, not too bad a batch but I can't comment on all of them since quite a few of the major ones haven't come out here yet (hell, Loving doesn't even come out until March). Still not sure why there's this much hype over Nocturnal Animals, though. |

We'll know next month, but I have a feeling the Academy won't go for Nocturnal Animals as heavily as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did. This is fashion designer turned filmmaker Tom Ford's second feature. The only Oscar nomination his first movie A Single Man got was for Colin Firth's performance. If Amy Adams makes the cut for Best Actress this year it will much more likely be for Arrival. Somehow Jake Gyllenhaal's only nomination to date is for Brokeback Mountain, but I don't see him getting his second one here (though for my money he gave one of the year's best lead performances in Demolition, which has less than no awards traction). Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Globe nod here is nice for him and he has had a good career transition from pale young Brit to Kick Ass to here, but I don't think his over-the-top white trash sleaze monster is going to tower over the myriad of potential Best Supporting Actor choices to make it at the Oscars. A few years back the Globes nominated Daniel Brühl in Ron Howard's race car drama Rush, which did not translate into an Oscar nod, and this feels like one of those kinds of picks for them. Going against the grain, maybe a bit of an outside the box pick, but it won't be enough by itself to catapult him into the Oscar mix. If there is a surprise nom next month from this movie, more likely it will be Michael Shannon, not Taylor-Johnson. But I think it's even more likely John Legend would show up for La La Land before Aaron Taylor-Johnson. With strong contenders who didn't make the cut here like Ben Foster in Hell or High Water and Lucas Hedges in Manchester by the Sea, I wouldn't bet on Taylor-Johnson. Nocturnal Animals isn't bad, but it definitely feels like less than the sum of its parts. Worse movies have gotten high profile Oscar nominations so nobody should be shocked if it winds up with some biggies, but my bet is that the Oscars give it less consideration. |
Re: 2017 Golden Globe Nominations, Film
Not only that, but I was under the impression that the story-within-a-story was supposed to be a deliberately weak and clichéd revenge story so as to reflect the whole "failed writer" aspect of Gyllenhaal's character and that this is the best he could come up with after being "inspired" by Adams' character. It doesn't speak well that it ends up being the more interesting half of the film because it's made a little too well, but that's you get for bringing in Shannon.
In any case, Ford getting a director nom reminds me of the Academy nominating Lynch for Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive in that it's throwing the Weird-But-Not-Too-Weird Art Film a bone but in all probability won't go any further than that. |

Too many good ones to choose from, and without Miss Sloane being a particularly strong or even popular movie, it would take a lot for Jessica Chastain to make the Oscar top five, this time around. She is a two-time nominee, for The Help and Zero Dark Thirty, and former nominees do seem to have an easier time of getting back, but most of her potential competition has been nominated before, too. Only Huppert, Negga, Beckinsale, and Hall would be first timers, from the thirteen I named above. I think the odds are stacked against her in 2017. As I went into a bit above, I thought Nocturnal Animals has lots of problems. But Manchester by the Sea was excellent and actually lives up to the hype and praise it has already received. I'm going to see that one a second time in the theater before it leaves. |
Re: 2017 Golden Globe Nominations, Film
So you are telling me to drive far away to see Manchester by the Sea before the other two then? :p

And I tend not to see obvious junk anymore, something like Warcraft, for example. But from what I have seen, by far the most baffling, dead-on-arrival misfire from a filmmaker with a decent track record that I suffered through was Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. Woah, what a dud. |
