Kursk I think will probably play either there or Toronto as it already has STXfilms as a distributor so I would imagine they're probably going for a critical reaction before setting a release date.

Spike Lee - BlacKKKlansman (Winner)
Dam...Director:<br /><br />Spike Lee - BlacKKKlansman (Winner)<br />Damien Chazelle - First Man<br />Bradley Cooper - A Star is Born<br />Steve McQueen - Widows<br />Josie O'Rourke - Mary Queen of Scots<br /><br />Again not sure if the reaction is quite there, but who knows Lee is seen as overdue in some people's eyes. Chazelle seems a safe enough bet as well. The academy loves Cooper, so if he pulls it off I could see them going all in for him. If Mary Queen of Scots is good, I could certainly see a strong push for O'Rourke to get in. <br /><br />Actor:<br /><br />Willem Dafoe - At Eternity's Gate (Winner)<br />Ryan Gosling - First Man<br />Christian Bale - Backseat<br />Bradley Cooper - A Star is Born<br />Hugh Jackman - The Front Runner<br /><br />At Eternity's Gate is even more of a ?, however if it is good I could see the goodwill of last year pushing Dafoe at the very least towards a return nod, with Van Gogh certainly being a meaty role. Gosling's role could be too subtle, but if the film is the success I'm predicting now I could see him still making it. Again keep the Cooper love going if that is the case. Bale and Jackman could make an interesting pair of nominations, again if the old "zeitgeist" is working, plus both obviously well liked. Left off Redford due to his campaign aversion, although if the film is just THAT loved, I could see him getting in anyways. <br /><br />Actress:<br /><br />Saoirse Ronan - Mary Queen of Scots (Winner)<br />Viola Davis - Widows<br />Lady Gaga - A Star is Born<br />Amy Adams - Backseat<br />Carey Mulligan - Wildlife<br /><br />Ronan seems like she's working her way to that win very soon, this seems like an easy way for it. From that trailer alone it seem like Davis is probably in. Again A Star is Born must be well loved but if it is they'll go all in. Adams could go supporting, but seems an easy enough nomination particularly after that painful Arrival snub. And how about Mulligan gets in again finally, why not. <br /><br />Supporting Actor:<br /><br />Daniel Kaluuya - Widows (Winner)<br />Joel Edgerton - Boy Erased<br />Oscar Isaac - At Eternity's Gate<br />Sam Rockwell - Backseat<br />Sam Elliott - A Star is Born<br /><br />Going off a limb of that trailer that Kaluuya is going to be a scene stealer, and afterglow never hurts. Edgerton's part sounds like it has potential, plus it would be a way to get him in without director. Again big ? for At Eternity's Gate, but Quinn did it why not Isaac who has been waiting for the right role for that nomination. Rockwell seems like a very easy after winning nomination given his role. And why not Sam Elliott, he's been delivery great work in not great films, maybe he'll finally do that in the "right" film. <br /><br />Supporting Actress:<br /><br />Margot Robbie - Mary Queen of Scots (Winner)<br />Nicole Kidman - Boy Erased<br />Claire Foy - First Man<br />Sissy Spacek - Old Man and the Gun<br />Vera Farmiga - The Front Runner<br /><br />Hey why not get both of last year's non-winners an Oscar in one fell swoop. Then again maybe the film will fail, but both seem promising prospects at the moment. Kidman's role is potentially very juicy, and the Academy loves her. Foy seems perfect for "supportive/concerned" wife role. If Redford isn't game, perhaps all the love could go right to Spacek. Farmiga got her first nomination with Reitman, could happen again in a potentially more complex wife role.Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-74119951807275054782018-06-16T10:47:33.481-04:002018-06-16T10:47:33.481-04:00Anonymous:

It is perhaps Taylor Sheridan's best writing as the dialogue manages to naturally illustrate the thematic point of Toby's quest without making it feel forced, but as this natural explanation. It just as naturally and powerfully though also measures that against Marcus's reflections on the cost of those acts. It brilliantly ratchets the tension through the remarks and the performance, and wisely David McKenzie directs the scene with the idea that there is more than enough tension within that. By keeping the shots so quiet, and just on both men, just allows that to build so well without trying to force it for a moment. I love most that it manages to feel a proper climax while still leaving some ambiguity through those final lines that are so well written, and so well performed by both Bridges and Pine. <br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />I'll see it sometime soon.<br /><br />If you insist:<br /><br />Picture:<br /><br />First Man (Winner, I guess)<br />Widows<br />BlacKkKlansman <br />A Star is Born<br />Boy Erased<br />Mary Queen of Scots<br />Backseat (Aka Dick Cheney Movie)<br />The Front Runner<br />Old Man and the Gun<br /><br />Obviously wide open at this point especially since the known quantity I have listed is BlacKkKlansman, which got pretty positive, although not "Masterpiece" reviews. A return to mainstream/form for Spike Lee with potentially prescient material could go further, but I'll wait on that. The success of Shape of Water though really suggests a "best Picture" film has opened up to more idiosyncratic fair, which somewhat defines that inclusion with Lee's film, and Widows. <br /><br />First Man feels like a safe enough bet at the moment, though I do think Chazelle is going to get his "Live By Night" hatchet job sometime soon, deserved or not. McKay's ease in getting in "The Big Short" suggests he probably could easily followup. If Lowery pulls it off The Old man and The Gun could be a welcome to the club for him. <br /><br />Boy Erased and A Star Is Born you have two actor turned directors one with a potential sort "heavy emotional" player and then Cooper's potential crowd pleaser. The academy loves when actor turned directors pull it off so I think both could make it here. <br /><br />Front Runner another potential "zeitgeist" film, plus if Reitman pulls it off, along with the already existing critical success of Tully, it would be easy to invite Reitman back.<br /><br />Then rounding it out with Mary Queen of Scots as a proper Academy period piece, hopefully it's better than the last film with that name.
