The 5th Annual "Predict the Best Picture Nominees" Thread

[Deleted]

It's that time of year again. With the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Golden Globes already announced, the buzz has picked up on what will get nominated for the Academy Awards. And with that, it's time to continue our little tradition of predicting what movies get nominated for the Best Picture award. Just like years prior, 20 films (and a spot for others) have been listed above. And since the maximum that can get nominated is 10, everyone gets to vote up to 10 pictures. Last year, The Martian got the most predictions with 36 out of a possible 50. Carol had the 2nd highest total with 26, but missed the cut. And the eventual winner was Spotlight, which only had 18. Here're IMDB links of all the movies in the poll in case you haven't heard of them before:

20th Century Women
Arrival
The Birth of a Nation
Captain Fantastic
Fences
Florence Foster Jenkins
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Hidden Figures
Jackie
La La Land
Lion
Loving
Manchester by the Sea
Moonlight
Nocturnal Animals
Patriots Day
Silence
Sing Street
Sully

My predictions: Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, La La Land, Loving, Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight, and Sully get the nods with La La Land winning it.

I like making picks like this but I haven't seen a single one of these films.

It's just going to be La La Land 10 times, isn't it?

Just bypass the awards and give it to LaLa Land already.

No surprise "Huh?" nominees this year...

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

As someone who hasn't had the free time to go see La La Land, so far I'm rooting for Hidden Figures, Hell Or High Water or especially Moonlight for the unlikely upset.

It's for Best Makeup and Hairstyling... not one that anyone really cares about

though with how shitty Crock looked I'm still somehow angry about it >_>

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I'm also a bit peeved we didn't get an animated film nominated for Best Picture. Because Zootopia was god-tier. It was easily good enough to be mentioned among those other films.

[Hit Girl]

I guess Hollywood is cool again with Mel Gibson.

Deadpool could've easily gotten this nom instead and no one would've batted an eye - hell, there'd be celebrating and vids from Ryan Reynolds in the costume breakdancing all over America for the rest of the week. ;p

LOOK WHAT YOU TOOK FROM US, HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Wow, 14 nominations for La La Land. That's pretty crazy.

Not that I'm complaining, it really is an amazing film.

[Deleted]

Damn I was hoping Deadpool get nominated for best picture. Apparently it nearly happened.

[StuntGranny®]

La La Land isn't a bad movie, but it is definitely Oscar bait and will absolutely win best picture. Hollywood loves when movies kiss its ass, so it's all but a lock for multiple Oscars.

[RadcapRadsley]

Really hoping Hell Or High Water can pull out the win for best film editing.
