After weeks of awards shows, the biggest one is finally almost here: On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its 2017 nominees. The winners will then be revealed when the Oscars take place Feb. 26.
Damien Chazelle’s musical La La Land, starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, led the nominations with a whopping 14. The Best Picture nominee ties with 1997’s Titanic and 1950’s All About Eve for the most nominations the Oscars has ever handed out in its 89-year history.
Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight and Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival followed with eight nominations each, also including Best Picture nods. Manchester by the Sea, Hacksaw Ridge, and Lion each scored six nominations.

However, snarly remarks are welcome for their entertainment value.
I think that one is a pretty safe bet to win.
Anybody give two craps?
I really don’t care, Hollywood can fall into the sea and I would not miss them or their crappy movies.

The only important Oscar is named Meyer and belongs on a grill.
I couldn’t care less.
I don’t think I’ve seen one movie mentioned in the list of categories (not even the new Star Wars film). I’m not one of those who avoids going to movies altogether, but I only see one to three a year on average. I do want to see “Hell or High Water,” and I have some slight interest in “Dr. Strange.” For those who watch a lot more than I, are any of the documentaries or documentary shorts nominated worth seeing?
I haven’t been to a movie in YEARS... I don’t even remember the last time I paid to see a movie in a theater.
All this stuff and the actors themselves have made themselves too irrelevant for words.
I haven’t seen any of the movies, and if my library system doesn’t get DVDs I can check out for free, I won’t be seeing any of them. Movies today just are not worth $10.00+ per ticket (not to me anyway).
I go to the movies every couple of weeks. It is still a fun night out with my wife.
That said, I guess I need to pick better movies. Because the ones I saw are not on the list.
Except for Manchester By the Sea.
What a freakin’ depressing movie. You keep expecting a happy ending and then BAMM. Nothing. But depression.
But its OK, because by the end of the movie I wanted to shoot the star.
The Academy Awards held a certain level of interest, 35 years ago.
Arrival was not a very good movie, IMO. My Son & I saw it. It had a lot of promise but felt slow, flat & plodding to me.
‘Hacksaw Ridge’ is supposed to be pretty good, from what I hear...
RE: ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ is supposed to be pretty good, from what I hear...
Yes, based on the real story of Desmond Doss, a Seventh Day Adventist who opposed taking up arms to kill. Nevertheless, he enlisted as a medic in World War II and saved the lives of over 75 men ( including enemies ).
He was the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor for actions above and beyond the call of duty. He is also the only conscientious objector to receive the medal during World War II.
The above film earned 6 Oscar nominations with Mel Gibson as best director and Andrew Garfield as best actor.
Too bad, Doss died 10 years ago at age 87. too early to have missed the film about his life.
I see for best actress
Meryl Streep, Florence Foster Jenkins
I can just imagine the political lecture we’ll get from her if she wins.
;)
The academy awards show is a circle jerk of self importance. That being said, I too have heard Hacksaw Ridge is an oscar worthy movie but will not win because it’s a Mel Gibson movie.
My hubby saw this by himself and he liked it quite a bit. He admitted to me that he had tears running down his face at the end of this movie.
Mel Gibson is a flawed human being (which of us isn't), and, I think he was just an okay actor; but, I think he has found his real calling as a director.
I haven't seen any of the others and don't intend to.
I also won't watch the Academy Awards broadcast. I haven't seen it in many, many years.
I went to Opryland for a mandatory conference years ago. The Grand Old Opry and the Academy Awards were about the same, equally tacky. The Grand Old Opry might have been more intelligent and sophisticated.
