If La-La falls, who is it going to fall to though? Manchester-by-the-Sea & Moonlight would both be unlikely best picture winners.

LA Confidential didn't win.

Maybe Silence which seems to be building momentum. La La Land has peaked too early.

Moonlight possibly, Manchester-By-Sea is probably too under-stated.

MbtS is apparently very bleak, though it does have Amazon funding it's Oscar campaign

Or Hacksaw Ridge. The Academy loves a war movie.

I feel like Gibson being attached to it is going to prevent this happening. He has made a lot of enemies in Hollywood and I don't think he has rebuilt enough bridges yet.

There is just enough dry humour in it to prevent it being completely bleak. I think Affleck has a great shot for Best Actor and would be a worthy winner.

why is everything so late to leak this year? i'm sure we had basically every nominated movie online by this point last year? none of them are even out in cinema's yet so i can't even watch them that way.

Glad to see both reviewers on Film 2016 spoke the truth about La La Land being overrated and soulless. I think it's this years Boyhood and will probably go away empty handed on Oscar night. Well maybe cinematography will win.
It's very rare for the most nommed movie to go home empty handed. And I don't think that Boyhood had that many noms (especially in the techs, which La La Land will dominate). So that comparison is really off. |

Yeah, good luck with that. Simply not happening.

Boyhood had 6 nominations and went home with one. I was mainly comparing La La Land with Boyhood for being overhyped and overrated and not as successful on Oscar night as everyone predicted.
Interestingly it can argued that Birdman, as other films discussed upthread, represents the kind of film that Hollywood likes because it is about the industry and that this is what aided it on oscar night that year. |

Personally I think Birdman, other than Keaton's performance, was pretty mediocre. I suppose it depends what kind of film you prefer in the end.

I agree about Birdman. It wasn't great. But a real luvvies film which Hollywood insiders would adore.

Which is why La La Land is the current favourite.

I'd vote for La La Land too, but I'm thinking that too much of the Academy will think it's not "dark" enough to warrant an Oscar, surprised it didn't get a SAG cast nomination which is often indicative of the Best Picture thinking

I don't think its a surprise, as other than the two leads no one else has significant screen time.

Director of LaLa Land is an incredible talent, 31 and already has two smash hit films under his belt. Great future ahead of him.
