OK, I’ve
seen all Best Picture nominees and a few other titles but not all. Enjoy.
PICTURE-La La Land
ACTOR-Denzel Washington for Fences who I love
but Casey Affleck for Manchester by the
Bay nailed it and this will be close
ACTRESS-
Emma Stone for La La Land but
Isabelle Huppert is a legit threat and Natalie Portman too
SUPPORTING
ACTOR-Mahersala Ali in Moonlight made
a big impression in his brief scenes but keep an eye for Dev Patel and even
Jeff Bridges.
SUPPORTING
ACTRESS-Viola Davis for Fences is
long overdue
DIRECTOR-Damien Chazelle for La La Land
ORIGINAL
SCREENPLAY-Manchester by the Sea
most deserved
ADAPTED
SCREENPLAY-Moonlight for sure
ANIMATED
FEATURE-Zootopia
FILM
EDITING-La La Land with Arrival as
possibility
CINEMATOGRAPHY-La La Land but Lion or Arrival have a
chance
PRODUCTION
DESIGN-La La Land
ORIGINAL
SCORE-La La Land hands down
ORIGINAL
SONG-City of Stars from La La Land
SOUND
EDITING-Hacksaw Ridge typical action
film choice
SOUND
MIXING-La La Land typically a
musical gets this
COSTUME
DESIGN-Jackie unless La La Land sweeps the tech categories
MAKEUP
& HAIRSTYLING-Star Trek Beyond
VISUAL
EFFECTS-The Jungle Book
FOREIGN
LANGUAGE FILM- The Salesman and its
political firestorm leaps ahead of Toni Erdmann
DOCUMENTARY
FEATURE-O.J. Made in America
I
skipped the shorts
Figure
La La Land will garner the most awards maybe barely short of ten, still
impressive. In recent years the awards were divided liberally but this might be
one of those years where one film grabs the glory. There is always a surprise during the awards
but which category? For the first time in many years, no other films will win
more than 2 Oscars. Rumor has it that a certain couple from a 50 year old
classic will present Best Picture!
