Re: Dunkirk Awards Season Discussion Thread

It only has picture, director and cinematography left. Which means Dunkirk will go home empty handed at the British academy awards. If you told me this six months ago I would not have believed you. Wait it lost sound? What beat it for sound? EDIT: Again, politics is absolutely disgusting. Wonder if...

Re: Dunkirk Awards Season Discussion Thread

Baby Driver wins editing, Desplat wins score. Fucking great. At this rate "Dunkirk" will probably be this year's "Arrival" (i.e. win Best Sound Editing and that's it) What a freaking disappointment this award's season has been. Even more disgusting is "Shape of Water" doesn't deserve Best Score at ...

Re: Dunkirk Awards Season Discussion Thread

Del Toro wins because he's a teddy bear. People will look back at the Best Director winner scratching their heads. Pulling a win based on personality and a cinematically inferior work is a new low. On the plus side maybe Nolan losing here will make him a big priority to win another Oscar soon to "m...

Re: Dunkirk Awards Season Discussion Thread

So what, just because I'm a Nolan fan doesn't mean I have to put him 1st in the competition. Nolan is incredibly talented and consistent but he's so fucking unlucky. Dunkirk, while not a great film (in my opinion), it's an incredible directorial achievement. Unfortunately it's up against TSOW, whic...

Re: Dunkirk Awards Season Discussion Thread

After the DGA loss, I can confidently say that Nolan is not winning BAFTA at this point, let alone the Oscars. Del Toro is now a 1000% lock for Best Director. People still believe that Dunkirk is a contender for Best Picture ? Seriously ?. It's winning sound categories, that's it. I think it'll win...

Re: Dunkirk Awards Season Discussion Thread

Unfortunately, it seems to be The Shape of Water's to lose. It's not even del Toro's best film, though to be up front I'm not really a fan of his work. I respect him as a filmmaker and his love for the craft, but have little interest in the worlds he creates. It's just a shame to think a movie as b...

Re: Dunkirk Awards Season Discussion Thread

I look at it like this, Fincher, PTA, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Leone, Tarantino have all never won Oscars for Best Director. That's pretty good company to be in but I hope that Nolan wins one at some point in his career. It took Scorsese forever to win just once. He's still a great director if he never ...

Re: Dunkirk Awards Season Discussion Thread

I think Nolan comes off as incredibly likable in interviews and all that. He just doesn't play the awards season games and isn't super phony. Which tbh makes him even more likable to me. Going off this, Nolan also doesn't pander to Oscar voters for the most part. For instance, "Shape of Water" incl...
