It's finally here—the day we've all been waiting for ever since the “Moonlight”/ “La La Land” Best Picture fiasco: the Oscar noms have been announced. It's been a tight race, in which “Three Billboards” appears to have established itself as the frontrunner for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and maybe even Best Picture, while “The Shape of Water” has proven a nomination favorite this awards season but not necessarily the most likely to win. It leads this year's Oscars with 13 nominations.

In more exciting news, “Get Out” scored noms for Jordan Peele for Best Directing, Picture, and Writing, making him only the third director ever to receive all three noms on a debut feature. Daniel Kaluuya also scored a Best Actor nomination for the film.

Greta Gerwig, too, did well for herself, earning noms for Best Directing and Writing, and “Lady Bird” also has been nominated for Best Picture, though since Gerwig isn't a producer on the film she can't technically claim the same record as Peele.

“Call Me By Your Name” was nominated for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for Timothée Chalamet. Also notable is that “A Fantastic Woman,” the Chilean film starring trans actress Daniela Vega, was nominated for Best Foreign Film.

The Oscars are hosted this year by Jimmy Kimmel and take place March 4 on ABC. Take a look at the full list below:

Note

what are your thoughts on the oscar nominations?

We’re doing this as a category by category breakdown and I’m prefacing this by saying this is just my opinion as a viewer and filmmaker.

Best Picture:

“Call Me by Your Name”“Darkest Hour”“Dunkirk”“Get Out”“Lady Bird”“Phantom Thread”“The Post”“The Shape of Water”“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”

This is probably one of the toughest Best Picture categories I’ve seen in years. All in all such strong films. I am worried about what will happen should Get Out lose because I have a feeling it will. While it may be a strong film with a good centralized message it doesn’t stand in the same league as films like Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, or The Shape of the Water. It doesn’t have many high profile names attached and it’s not so much an art film like the rest could be perceived as. If it doesn’t win I anticipate backlash against the Academy for racism and if it does win I anticipate backlash against the Academy for not choosing a film that would typically win. That being said I don’t think it will win but I could be wrong. All the film on this list have incredible stories and are beautifully shot films with strong performances by their actors. There’s a few that I want to win but I’d be happy with most of them taking home the Oscar.

Lead Actor:

Timothée Chalamet, “Call Me by Your Name”Daniel Day-Lewis, “Phantom Thread”Daniel Kaluuya, “Get Out”Gary Oldman, “Darkest Hour”Denzel Washington, “Roman J. Israel, Esq.”

I was surprised to see Denzel nominated not because it was a bad performance but because so few saw the film. I think the top contenders are Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman as both their performances were incredible and they encapsulated their characters in every way possible. Timothée most likely will not win although his portrayal of Elio could be matched by no other actor in my opinion. However he’s currently filming (or maybe it’s in post) a movie that if it is done properly most likely will bring him back to the Oscars. Kaluuya seems like the odd man out although his performance was great. He might win it but again with heavyweights in this category I can only see it going to either of them. I’d be pleasantly surprised though.

Lead Actress:

Sally Hawkins, “The Shape of Water”Frances McDormand, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”Margot Robbie, “I, Tonya”Saoirse Ronan, “Lady Bird”Meryl Streep, “The Post”

Again these are practically all heavyweight actors. Great performances all around but I’m not sure about Margot or Saoirse winning. They played equally excellent roles but with the pattern of wins in this category it seems more than likely that Frances will get it. Personally would like to see Sally Hawkins get the Oscar because she played a mute woman which is a difficult performance for an actor. Pulling all emotion into facial expression and in this case also ASL hand movements. I’d be happy with any outcome here though.

Supporting Actor:

Willem Dafoe, “The Florida Project”Woody Harrelson, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”Richard Jenkins, “The Shape of Water”Christopher Plummer, “All the Money in the World”Sam Rockwell, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”

A little disappointed that Armie Hammer didn’t get a nom for Call Me By Your Name but it’s a good list nonetheless. Dafoe would be my pick but I’m cautiously doubtful and predict it going to either Rockwell or Harrelson. All in all the supporting cast for each of these films was excellent and tied everything together so I really think there’s some strong contenders even if some did happen to get snubbed in my opinion.

Supporting Actress:

Mary J. Blige, “Mudbound”Allison Janney, “I, Tonya”Lesley Manville, “Phantom Thread”Laurie Metcalf, “Lady Bird”Octavia Spencer, “The Shape of Water”

If Mudbound wins it’ll be a win for Netflix. The film industry hates streaming. Doubtful that Blige will win though what with who all is nominated. I’d love to see Spencer or Metcalf take it home but Manville might just beat them out based on her performance. Janney could take it based on the praise surrounding her performance it wouldn’t be surprising. Strong performances and some beautiful films chosen

Director:

“Dunkirk,” Christopher Nolan“Get Out,” Jordan Peele“Lady Bird,” Greta Gerwig“Phantom Thread,” Paul Thomas Anderson“The Shape of Water,” Guillermo del Toro

It’s del Toro or Nolan. Gerwig is the fifth female director to be nominated in this category but I’d be very shocked if the Oscar went to her. Lady Bird was great and it clearly was done but an excellent director but when you’re in a category with del Toro and Nolan and with del Toro winning most of the Best Director awards I feel like she won’t win it. It’s about time another female director has been nominated though. Personally I’d like to see it go to del Toro, Shape of the Water was one of my favorite films of the year and the message that it brought with it is a poignant one. It was just wonderfully crafted and crafted with love clearly. PTA and Phantom Thread made for an intricate work of art as well and would not be surprised if he took it home. I’d be disappointed but not surprised.

Animated Feature:

“The Boss Baby,” Tom McGrath, Ramsey Ann Naito“The Breadwinner,” Nora Twomey, Anthony Leo“Coco,” Lee Unkrich, Darla K. Anderson“Ferdinand,” Carlos Saldanha“Loving Vincent,” Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman, Sean Bobbitt, Ivan Mactaggart, Hugh Welchman

I have a feeling it’s going to go Coco because of Pixar. Pixar always tends to win Best Animated Feature but I would like to see Loving Vincent take it. The concept and execution were so unique and different from any animated film out there that I’d like to see the team rewarded for it.

Animated Short:

“Dear Basketball,” Glen Keane, Kobe Bryant“Garden Party,” Victor Caire, Gabriel Grapperon“Lou,” Dave Mullins, Dana Murray“Negative Space,” Max Porter, Ru Kuwahata“Revolting Rhymes,” Jakob Schuh, Jan Lachauer

Unfortunately animated shorts are hard to come by when they run the festival circuit alone so I didn’t get to see any of these. Revolting Rhymes and Negative Space have great titles though and when I see the little preview at the Oscars I’ll be hunting down a way to watch them all.

Adapted Screenplay:

“Call Me by Your Name,” James Ivory“The Disaster Artist,” Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber“Logan,” Scott Frank & James Mangold and Michael Green“Molly’s Game,” Aaron Sorkin“Mudbound,” Virgil Williams and Dee Rees

For pue shock value I’d like Logan to take it. Highly highly doubtful because you’ve got Aaron Sorkin in the category but it is Screenplay and the Screenplay category doesn’t necessarily go to some of the higher valued films. Comic book films and random action films have been known to win based on the script alone so this category really is a toss up and I’d be very intrigued if Logan or even The Disaster Artist won.

Original Screenplay:

“The Big Sick,” Emily V. Gordon & Kumail Nanjiani“Get Out,” Jordan Peele“Lady Bird,” Greta Gerwig“The Shape of Water,” Guillermo del Toro, Vanessa Taylor“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” Martin McDonagh

This might actually be the one category Get Out wins because of the interesting concept and it’s screenplay. The Shape of the Water or Three Billboards most likely will as they’re considered larger Oscar type art films (they’re not technically art films but they're more of the Oscar kinda films if you get what I’m trying to say). This category is again very up for grabs based on writing alone and it could go any which way.

Cinematography:

“Blade Runner 2049,” Roger Deakins“Darkest Hour,” Bruno Delbonnel“Dunkirk,” Hoyte van Hoytema“Mudbound,” Rachel Morrison“The Shape of Water,” Dan Laustsen

Although I don’t think she’ll win the Oscar can we first talk about how amazing it is that Rachel Morrison is even nominated. Cinematography is a male dominated field with a low percentage amount of female cinematographers so first for any film this year to have a female cinematographer is sorta a big deal. The bigger deal is her nomination because she's the first female cinematographer nominated ever at the Oscars. That’s 90 years and not one female cinematographer. Really pretty damn cool. Having said that just going purely off the aesthetic of each film because cinematography is the aesthetic category (the angles and lighting and way the film was shot), Blade Runner 2049 or The Shape of Water might take it. Dunkirk and Darkest Hour are also very plausible.

Best Documentary Feature:

“Abacus: Small Enough to Jail,” Steve James, Mark Mitten, Julie Goldman“Faces Places,” JR, Agnès Varda, Rosalie Varda“Icarus,” Bryan Fogel, Dan Cogan“Last Men in Aleppo,” Feras Fayyad, Kareem Abeed, Soren Steen Jepersen“Strong Island,” Yance Ford, Joslyn Barnes

I haven’t seen any of these so I really can’t say much about any.

Best Documentary Short Subject:

“Edith+Eddie,” Laura Checkoway, Thomas Lee Wright“Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405,” Frank Stiefel“Heroin(e),” Elaine McMillion Sheldon, Kerrin Sheldon“Knife Skills,” Thomas Lennon“Traffic Stop,” Kate Davis, David Heilbroner

I legit don’t know what Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405 is truly about but fuck the 405 and I’m intrigued. I only saw the preview for Edith+Eddie because it’s only on a festival circuit right now but it seems like a heart-wrenching documentary. Don’t have any preference on these so I’d be pleased with any result.

Best Live Action Short Film:

“DeKalb Elementary,” Reed Van Dyk“The Eleven O’Clock,” Derin Seale, Josh Lawson“My Nephew Emmett,” Kevin Wilson, Jr.“The Silent Child,” Chris Overton, Rachel Shenton“Watu Wote/All of Us,” Katja Benrath, Tobias Rosen

Again I haven’t seen any of these nor do I know any of the filmmakers so I can’t speak much on this category.

Best Foreign Language Film:

“A Fantastic Woman” (Chile)“The Insult” (Lebanon)“Loveless” (Russia)“On Body and Soul (Hungary)“The Square” (Sweden)

A Fantastic Woman was a wonderful film and if that won I’d be pleased. Not only for the fact that it is a beautiful film but they cast a trans woman as the lead which shouldn’t be surprising but too many trans characters are played by cis actors. Other than that I’ve not seen the rest and can’t say anything for their merit. Have heard The Square is a great film though.

Film Editing:

“Baby Driver,” Jonathan Amos, Paul Machliss“Dunkirk,” Lee Smith“I, Tonya,” Tatiana S. Riegel“The Shape of Water,” Sidney Wolinsky“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” Jon Gregory

I just. All of the editing was fantastic for each of these films. The Shape of Water and Dunkirk are the two top contenders but I’d like to see Baby Driver win it. Any editor will know that editing to music is easy but editing on beat is very incredibly difficult. And for a movie that’s wall to wall sound with a precisely cultivated soundtrack it makes it even more impressive.

Sound Editing:

“Baby Driver,” Julian Slater“Blade Runner 2049,” Mark Mangini, Theo Green“Dunkirk,” Alex Gibson, Richard King“The Shape of Water,” Nathan Robitaille, Nelson Ferreira“Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Ren Klyce, Matthew Wood

Dunkirk or The Shape of Water might get it. Would be surprised to have Star Wars win the category even though the sound editing was phenomenal. Baby Driver had some insane sound work which might make it also a top contender but either way no one cares about this category but me. I’ll be fine with either Baby Driver or The Shape of Water winning. Either way this goes the sound for all of these films was gorgeously crafted.

Sound Mixing:

“Baby Driver,” Mary H. Ellis, Julian Slater, Tim Cavagin“Blade Runner 2049,” Mac Ruth, Ron Bartlett, Doug Hephill“Dunkirk,” Mark Weingarten, Gregg Landaker, Gary A. Rizzo“The Shape of Water,” Glen Gauthier, Christian Cooke, Brad Zoern“Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Stuart Wilson, Ren Klyce, David Parker, Michael Semanick

Again no one cares about this category but me. I’d like to see Baby Driver win this due to the carefully crafter sound wall they built. I mean sound is such an integral part of film which often goes taken for granted. The one rule of sound is if the audience didn’t notice it then you did your job right. Which basically means if you don't get recognition then you did something right because if they noticed you fucked up. All in all gorgeous sound mixing for each so I’d be pleased all the way around.

Production Design:

“Beauty and the Beast,” Sarah Greenwood; Katie Spencer“Blade Runner 2049,” Dennis Gassner, Alessandra Querzola“Darkest Hour,” Sarah Greenwood, Katie Spencer“Dunkirk,” Nathan Crowley, Gary Fettis“The Shape of Water,” Paul D. Austerberry, Jeffrey A. Melvin, Shane Vieau

Difficult category. The sets for every film were so well put together and the entire design for each film was magnificent. I have a hard time picking and whoever wins certainly deserves the award.

Original Score:

“Dunkirk,” Hans Zimmer“Phantom Thread,” Jonny Greenwood“The Shape of Water,” Alexandre Desplat“Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” John Williams“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” Carter Burwell

I’m not a composer but I can appreciate music. Scores were beautiful all around. Would like to see Desplat take it because his score was very central to the film as a whole what with there being such a dialogue gap in scenes because Eliza can’t speak. Again, this category is very well chosen and I have no qualms with whoever wins.

Original Song:

“Mighty River” from “Mudbound,” Mary J. Blige“Mystery of Love” from “Call Me by Your Name,” Sufjan Stevens“Remember Me” from “Coco,” Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez“Stand Up for Something” from “Marshall,” Diane Warren, Common“This Is Me” from “The Greatest Showman,” Benj Pasek, Justin Paul

First of I’m just surprised the Mystery of Love got put on here. Personally I would have gone with Visions of Gideon instead but either way I love all the songs on this list and I just really wanna see the This Is Me performance so uh I really don’t care who wins I love them all.

Makeup and Hair:

“Darkest Hour,” Kazuhiro Tsuji, David Malinowski, Lucy Sibbick“Victoria and Abdul,” Daniel Phillips and Lou Sheppard“Wonder,” Arjen Tuiten

Give it to the Darkest Hour please. Like you knew it was Gary Oldman but there was no resemblance at all which is hard to do. The makeup and hair was fantastic for all three so either way it’s a good win.

Costume Design:

“Beauty and the Beast,” Jacqueline Durran“Darkest Hour,” Jacqueline Durran“Phantom Thread,” Mark Bridges“The Shape of Water,” Luis Sequeira“Victoria and Abdul,” Consolata Boyle

I’d be surprised if Phantom Thread doesn't win because it’s about a fashion designer so that's what you have to work with as a costume designer. However the costumes for all fit their characters perfectly so any which way this goes they all had fantastic costume designers.

Visual Effects:

“Blade Runner 2049,” John Nelson, Paul Lambert, Richard R. Hoover, Gerd Nefzer“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” Christopher Townsend, Guy Williams, Jonathan Fawkner, Dan Sudick“Kong: Skull Island,” Stephen Rosenbaum, Jeff White, Scott Benza, Mike Meinardus“Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Ben Morris, Mike Mulholland, Chris Corbould, Neal Scanlan“War for the Planet of the Apes,” Joe Letteri, Dan Lemmon, Daniel Barrett, Joel Whist

The visual effects intensity for each is immense. I know how much time and effort goes into visual effects work on films such as this so personally all of the visual effects artists deserve Oscars. I have no real choice because all these films were made by the visual effects. The performances were needed but lacking that perfect amount of visual effects each would have fallen flat. I feel like perhaps Blade Runner 2049 might take it but so could War for the Planet of the Apes or GOTG 2.

Oscar Picks: The Return

OH, IT’S A WONDERFUL NIGHT FOR ANDY, ANDY ANDY, SAW THEM ALL! Billy, what are you doing here? Get off my seldom updated Tumblr! Hello again, everybody, sorry for the loss of control, I’m happy to be here to give my thoughts, feelings, impressions, and hints for happy living related to the 90th Annual Academy Awards, which air tonight at 8pm ET on ABC! I would like to brag about having managed to see everything this year. I’m really impressed with myself! If you are wondering: How would Andy rank all 59 movies which each received at least one nomination? Well, my rhetorical friend, you’re in luck, because I just hastily threw together such a list over on my Letterboxd profile, where I’ve been enjoying tracking everything I see with INSTANT JUDGEMENT, which those who know me will know is everything I’ve ever wanted in a social network. That list is here. Please don’t yell at me about my Phantom Thread placement, I’m sorry I didn’t dig it as much as you did.

Without further ado, my fully informed picks for tonight!

Best picture: “Call Me by Your Name” “Darkest Hour” “Dunkirk” “Get Out” “Lady Bird” “Phantom Thread” “The Post” “The Shape of Water” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”

If you pay any attention to the horse race aspects of this at all, you’ve probably heard that this is the MOST WIDE OPEN BEST PICTURE RACE IN MODERN HISTORY. I don’t necessarily disagree! Which is fun! The combined factors of the rapidly changing voters body demographics, the lack of a clear frontrunner narrative for everyone to react to, and everyone still getting a handle on the preferential ballot voting means this will be a nailbiter. My heart will always say Lady Bird, which I loved completely and without reservation, but I’d guess that will fall just a little low, 4th or so, on most ballots and may not make the cut. Of the three I’d be thrilled to see win (LB, The Post, Get Out), only one has a shot. I’m going to predict it, I’ve heard nothing but promising takes on it. Hell, Moonlight won last year! If that’s not a signal to shoot for the moon, I don’t know what is.

Will Win: Get Out Should Win: Lady Bird Dark Horse: 1. Dunkirk 2. Three Billboards 3. Shape of Water

Lead actor:

Timothée Chalamet, “Call Me by Your Name” Daniel Day-Lewis, “Phantom Thread” Daniel Kaluuya, “Get Out” Gary Oldman, “Darkest Hour” Denzel Washington, “Roman J. Israel, Esq.”

My two faves here are probably the least likely to take it. Kaluuya’s doing something really subtle and special in Get Out, and really holds it together and tips the film over into being a story you want to follow, when it can sometimes feel on the edge of being a merely great essay with a strong point to make. And Washington is in a deeply weird movie, but committing like hell and is insanely big and watchable. Chalamet is solid as a character I had trouble connecting to, ditto Day-Lewis, and Oldman’s doing that accenty Oldman thing and he’s gonna win it. Will Win: Gary Oldman Should Win: Daniel Kaluuya Dark Horse: Timothée Chalamet

Lead actress: Sally Hawkins, “The Shape of Water” Frances McDormand, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” Margot Robbie, “I, Tonya” Saoirse Ronan, “Lady Bird” Meryl Streep, “The Post”

Again, two performances I LOVE and then the rest. Saoirse and Streep isn’t just the name of the sitcom I want to already be in its 2nd syndicated run, it’s a couple of performances that complement each other well. Streep’s got so much Streepery expectations built in and she undercuts and plays against them all, and Saoirse plays with our comparative lack of baggage (I think this is the first time I’ve seen her sans accent, which helps) just melts into being an audience surrogate as someone coming into her own in the world. You maybe don’t always identify with her, but you do understand her, and that’s an incredible piece of business. Robbie hits the marks and will probably get a win in the next few years, she’s here to play. Hawkins is a technical marvel. And McDormand is certainly steady, which holds the movie together more than some of its other elements. Will Win: Frances McDormand Should Win: Saoirse Ronan Dark Horse: Saoirse Ronan

Supporting actor:

Willem Dafoe, “The Florida Project” Woody Harrelson, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” Richard Jenkins, “The Shape of Water” Christopher Plummer, “All the Money in the World” Sam Rockwell, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Hey, The Florida Project was a great movie, wasn’t it? Maybe a bit hard to watch in spots, but so thoughtful and interesting. Willem, Dafriend of Good Cinema (shout out to #TheTwoFriends) is maybe not your natural first call to play a personification of decency, but I’m so glad he was top of the list for this role. That scene with the child predator is seared into my mind forever. Jenkins is my favorite part of a movie that was a bit of a challenge for me, his “speak what I sign” scene is very moving. Harrelson goes off in a lot of directions and his character does not really hold together at all. Plummer manages to not be the worst or most distracting element of that deeply mediocre movie, which is a real, non-ironic accomplishment! Probable winner Sam Rockwell, in his moments of connection, gets at something I appreciated, but that movie does not have a clear idea of how that character does or should operate in it.

Will Win: Sam Rockwell Should Win: Willem Dafoe Dark Horse: Willem Dafoe

Supporting actress: Mary J. Blige, “Mudbound” Allison Janney, “I, Tonya” Lesley Manville, “Phantom Thread” Laurie Metcalf, “Lady Bird” Octavia Spencer, “The Shape of Water”

Everyone talks about Laurie Metcalf at the airport, but that’s maybe my 5th or 6th favorite moment of hers in the movie. Her talking to the kids when they’re high late at night after Lady Bird misses Thanksgiving dinner! Going with Lady Bird to do their favorite activity! Washing the dishes and completely ignoring Lady Bird’s pleas for forgiveness! The look at the dressing room! Gah, what a perfect thing that movie is. I love Allison Janney, she’s always great and fun, but boy, that movie does not have a clue how to give her an arc. I thought Blige got a bit lost in Mudbound, unfortunately. Spencer felt like more a plot driver and translation device than a full character to me. And Manville feels a few beats short of a great contribution. Will Win: Laurie Metcalf Should Win: Laurie Metcalf Dark Horse Smart Money: Allison Janney

Best director: “Dunkirk,” Christopher Nolan “Get Out,” Jordan Peele “Lady Bird,” Greta Gerwig “Phantom Thread,” Paul Thomas Anderson “The Shape of Water,” Guillermo del Toro

Personally would’ve swapped Spielberg in for Anderson or del Toro, but this is a GREAT category. Haven’t written at all about Dunkirk yet, but it’s smartly constructed and plays to Nolan’s strengths in all the best ways, this Nolan skeptic was very impressed. Peele has tapped into the zeitgeist brilliantly and is playing this in a way where I am tremendously excited to see what he does next. And Gerwig is ruthless in her storytelling, embracing her characters so warmly, but without treacle, letting them have their piece and then briskly moving on. Will Win: Guillermo del Toro Should Win: Gerwig and Peele are neck and neck here, but I’ll give Greta the edge. Dark Horse: Jordan Peele

Animated feature: “The Boss Baby,” Tom McGrath, Ramsey Ann Naito “The Breadwinner,” Nora Twomey, Anthony Leo “Coco,” Lee Unkrich, Darla K. Anderson “Ferdinand,” Carlos Saldanha “Loving Vincent,” Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman, Sean Bobbitt, Ivan Mactaggart, Hugh Welchman

Hoo boy, there is a quality LINE in this category. Coco and The Breadwinner are great and smart and animated with tremendous artistry. And then... there’s the rest! Ferdinand is a very typical animated family movie of this era, nothing remarkable about it. The Boss Baby is deeply weird and the story is bananas. And Loving Vincent shows you why it got to be the first movie ever entirely painted with oils (the squigglyness kind of gave me a headache) and didn’t even to bother to ground it with an interesting story. Will Win: Coco Should Win: Coco Dark Horse: The Breadwinner

Animated short: “Dear Basketball,” Glen Keane, Kobe Bryant “Garden Party,” Victor Caire, Gabriel Grapperon “Lou,” Dave Mullins, Dana Murray “Negative Space,” Max Porter, Ru Kuwahata “Revolting Rhymes,” Jakob Schuh, Jan Lachauer

Garden Party is a total hoot. Check it out unspoiled if you can. Dear Basketball is pure garbage fluff, I guess it’s animated nicely, but it does not do anything remotely memorable. Lou is middle of the road Pixar short. Negative Space is the kind of thing where you go “Oh, that was interesting” throughout and at the end and then you don’t really think about it again. And Revolting Rhymes is a good bit of Dahl, but definitely feels like it was produced for TV.

Will Win: Garden Party Should Win: Garden Party Dark Horse: Lou

Adapted screenplay: “Call Me by Your Name,” James Ivory “The Disaster Artist,” Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber “Logan,” Scott Frank & James Mangold and Michael Green “Molly’s Game,” Aaron Sorkin “Mudbound,” Virgil Williams and Dee Rees

This is a fun category! Both screenplay categories are fairly fun this year, though both have at least one clunker. Inevitable winner CMBYN has a real sense of place and time and character that is incredibly entrancing while you’re watching it. Logan carries the weight of being in such a weird place, franchise-wise, with aplomb and gives Jackman a lot of good stuff to play with. Molly’s Game certainly indulges in Sorkinisms great (Everyone Cares About And References The Crucible!) and weird (Sure, Kevin Costner). Mudbound is aiming high and often succeeding, especially once it gets going. The Disaster Artist is the real question mark of this bunch, that is a very uneven script that doesn’t seem to want to actually say much other than “That was weird, huh?” Will Win: Call Me By Your Name Should Win: Call Me By Your Name Dark Horse: Mudbound, I guess?

Original screenplay: “The Big Sick,” Emily V. Gordon & Kumail Nanjiani “Get Out,” Jordan Peele “Lady Bird,” Greta Gerwig “The Shape of Water,” Guillermo del Toro, Vanessa Taylor “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” Martin McDonagh

Hey, The Big Sick! Love you, glad you made it to the party! That’s a movie that lets everyone try their best, and I love it for it. Shape of Water and Three Billboards are my sticking points here, I’d say they’re both a bit unwieldy in slightly different ways. Water is definitely the better piece of writing, but I still never really fully got on board with the whimsy of it all. And for a guy who LOVES to put location names in his titles, I still am not convinced Martin McDonagh knows how to evoke a real sense of place. This leaves my love forever, Lady Bird and the story of the year, Get Out for my fave slot. I tend to side with the movie that feels bigger and messier (LB), as opposed to sharper and tighter (GO), but for some reason I’m feeling the latter was more of a writing accomplishment this year.

Will Win: Get Out Should Win: Get Out Dark Horse: Three Billboards

Cinematography: “Blade Runner 2049,” Roger Deakins “Darkest Hour,” Bruno Delbonnel “Dunkirk,” Hoyte van Hoytema “Mudbound,” Rachel Morrison “The Shape of Water,” Dan Laustsen

I never feel well equipped to talk about cinematography, but for my money th ebest images of the year were all found in Blade Runner 2049, what big colors and overwhelming visions! Shout-out to Dunkirk’s YOU ARE THERE immersion. Will Win: Blade Runner 2049 Should Win: Lade Runner 2049 Dark Horse: Dunkirk

Best documentary feature: “Abacus: Small Enough to Jail,” Steve James, Mark Mitten, Julie Goldman “Faces Places,” JR, Agnès Varda, Rosalie Varda “Icarus,” Bryan Fogel, Dan Cogan “Last Men in Aleppo,” Feras Fayyad, Kareem Abeed, Soren Steen Jepersen “Strong Island,” Yance Ford, Joslyn Barnes

Faces Places is so fun for the first 70 or 80 minutes and then has a knockout of profundity to end you with. What a well constructed documentary! Strong Island is a close runner-up in its power and storytelling panache. I can’t wait to see what subject Yance Ford will take on next. Abacus has some great characters, but feels constrained by PBS and Last Men in Aleppo is a bit of a retread of last year’s short winner, The White Helmets. The less said about Icaraus the better, although this means I’m probably going to be mad that I never acknowledged it as a possibility when it wins.

Will Win: Faces Places Should Win: Faces Places Dark Horse: Strong Island

Best documentary short subject: “Edith+Eddie,” Laura Checkoway, Thomas Lee Wright “Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405,” Frank Stiefel “Heroin(e),” Elaine McMillion Sheldon, Kerrin Sheldon “Knife Skills,” Thomas Lennon “Traffic Stop,” Kate Davis, David Heilbroner

These aren’t all soul-crushing for once! I was so entranced and enthralled by Heaven is a Traffic Jam, what a terrific subject (that admittedly hits a lot of my personal buttons). Heroin(e) (with the “e” in parentheses! Shout out Palooza and Mo(u)rning!) is also an incredible piece of documentary craft, the focus and weaving of the stories it zooms in on will make it a worthy winner. Edith+Eddie is effective at winning over a crowd, but I felt really alienated by how much I thought was left out. Knife Skills could use better focus. Traffic Stop is very of the moment and has a grabbing opening incident which it does not always know where to go with. Will Win: Heroin(e) Should Win: Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405 Dark Horse: Traffic Stop

Best live action short film: “DeKalb Elementary,” Reed Van Dyk “The Eleven O’Clock,” Derin Seale, Josh Lawson “My Nephew Emmett,” Kevin Wilson, Jr. “The Silent Child,” Chris Overton, Rachel Shenton “Watu Wote/All of Us,” Katja Benrath, Tobias Rosen Perhaps the strongest shorts category this year! Eleven O’Clock is very funny, which probably makes it too lightweight to win, but I was delighted by it. DeKalb and Emmett are both great dramatizations of Important Issues, anchored by some smart filmmaking and acting choices, respectively. Watu Wote and Silent Child both suffered from “To Learn More” text-itis, where the movie tells you directly where to go to help solve the problem it depicts by the end, or at least feels like it wants to do that. Will Win: DeKalb Elementary Should Win: The Eleven O’Clock Dark Horse: My Nephew Emmett

Best foreign language film: “A Fantastic Woman” (Chile) “The Insult” (Lebanon) “Loveless” (Russia) “On Body and Soul (Hungary) “The Square” (Sweden) I LOVED The Square, but again, that’s a movie that plays directly to my interests, content-and-thematic-discussion-wise. Shoutout to that kid who hates being grounded! A Fantastic Woman is also terrific and knows exactly how to make you feel what it wants you to feel, and I was drawn into On Body and Soul slowly but effectively. The other two were a bit overwhelming, Insult was too idea-focused and broad, Loveless was B L E A K.

Will Win: The Square Should Win: The Square Dark Horse: A Fantastic Woman

Film editing: “Baby Driver,” Jonathan Amos, Paul Machliss “Dunkirk,” Lee Smith “I, Tonya,” Tatiana S. Riegel “The Shape of Water,” Sidney Wolinsky “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” Jon Gregory

Three. Different. Temporalities. Will Win: The Shape of Water Should Win: Dunkirk Dark Horse: Baby Driver

Sound editing: “Baby Driver,” Julian Slater “Blade Runner 2049,” Mark Mangini, Theo Green “Dunkirk,” Alex Gibson, Richard King “The Shape of Water,” Nathan Robitaille, Nelson Ferreira “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Ren Klyce, Matthew Wood

BB8, love you forever. Will Win: Dunkirk Should Win: Dunkirk Dark Horse: The Shape of Water

Rizzo “The Shape of Water,” Glen Gauthier, Christian Cooke, Brad Zoern “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Stuart Wilson, Ren Klyce, David Parker, Michael Semanick

(I was very underwhelmed by Baby Driver, I feel this is an appropriate place to hide this Bad Opinion) Will Win: Baby Driver Should Win: Blade Runner 2049 Dark Horse: Dunkirk

Production design: “Beauty and the Beast,” Sarah Greenwood; Katie Spencer “Blade Runner 2049,” Dennis Gassner, Alessandra Querzola “Darkest Hour,” Sarah Greenwood, Katie Spencer “Dunkirk,” Nathan Crowley, Gary Fettis “The Shape of Water,” Paul D. Austerberry, Jeffrey A. Melvin, Shane Vieau

Will be ok with this win when Shape of Water sweeps a bunch of technical awards.

Will Win: The Shape of Water Should Win: The Shape of Water Dark Horse: Blade Runner 2049

Original score: “Dunkirk,” Hans Zimmer “Phantom Thread,” Jonny Greenwood “The Shape of Water,” Alexandre Desplat “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” John Williams “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” Carter Burwell

My faves here are probably Williams and Zimmer, but I’m basic that way. Will Win: The Shape of Water Should Win: Dunkirk Dark Horse: Phantom Thread

Original song: “Mighty River” from “Mudbound,” Mary J. Blige “Mystery of Love” from “Call Me by Your Name,” Sufjan Stevens “Remember Me” from “Coco,” Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez “Stand Up for Something” from “Marshall,” Diane Warren, Common “This Is Me” from “The Greatest Showman,” Benj Pasek, Justin Paul

I kind of liked the song from Marshall! That’s the kind of things you discover about yourself when you watch every nominated movie in full, even if the only thing it’s nominated for is a song that plays over some End of The Movie Exponsition Text And Closing Credits. I probably have a full Greatest Showman screed in me about what I think is great and terrible about the movie, but it’s getting late and I should have dinner before the show so, NOT TODAY! The CMBYN song is the kind of thing that is usually Not My Thing, but I did think it was nice and effective here. Will Win: “Remember Me” Should Win: “Remember Me” Dark Horse Smart Pick: “This Is Me”

Makeup and hair: “Darkest Hour,” Kazuhiro Tsuji, David Malinowski, Lucy Sibbick “Victoria and Abdul,” Daniel Phillips and Lou Sheppard “Wonder,” Arjen Tuiten

JOWLS!

Will Win: Darkest Hour Should Win: Wonder Dark Horse: Wonder

Costume design: “Beauty and the Beast,” Jacqueline Durran “Darkest Hour,” Jacqueline Durran “Phantom Thread,” Mark Bridges “The Shape of Water,” Luis Sequeira “Victoria and Abdul,” Consolata Boyle

Fine, Phantom Thread. You can have this one and I won’t roll my eyes. Also, Victoria & Abdul is very bad and you should not watch it, FYI. Will Win: Phantom Thread Should Win: Phantom Thread Dark Horse: The Shape of Water

Visual effects: “Blade Runner 2049,” John Nelson, Paul Lambert, Richard R. Hoover, Gerd Nefzer “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” Christopher Townsend, Guy Williams, Jonathan Fawkner, Dan Sudick “Kong: Skull Island,” Stephen Rosenbaum, Jeff White, Scott Benza, Mike Meinardus “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Ben Morris, Mike Mulholland, Chris Corbould, Neal Scanlan “War for the Planet of the Apes,” Joe Letteri, Dan Lemmon, Daniel Barrett, Joel Whist

I like how most of these use and integrate effects! This list is long! A lot of awards! I’m punchy! WINNERS ARE GREAT!

Horror at The 90th Academy Awards – Updated Live

Considered the biggest night in Hollywood, tonight marks the 90th Academy Awards. Traditionally, horror and genre film are rarely recognized for their contributions. Notable exceptions include Silence of the Lambs which won 5 Oscars, including Best Picture, and The Exorcist which took home Best Adapted Screenplay & Best Sound Design after a whopping 10 nominations. This year’s announcement included a huge turnout for genre fans and genre filmmakers with 17 nominations between Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water and Jordan Peele’s Get Out.

Below are the horror/genre film nominees for the 90th Academy Awards. Winners will be updated as they are announced. Join us on Twitter as we laugh along and live tweet the awards @NOFSpodcast. And don’t forget to chill your champagne before the festivities begin. Based on how well Get Out and The Shape of Water have performed at both the Golden Globes and The Spirit Awards, I have a feeling there will be plenty to cheer this year!

If you are a film buff (and not just a horror buff,) you can check out all of the winners as they are announced, here. Other notable nominations this year went to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Dunkirk, Call Me By Your Name, Ladybird, Darkest Hour, The Phantom Thread, and The Post.
