        The Vulture article mentions it a few times (though it mentions lots of films TBF) -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 09:16 2

        [deleted]
    - Hidden Figures is doing an event and scene screening at TIFF, but not the whole film (not ready?) - ty97 Aug 31, 09:01 10
      - [deleted] 6
        
        Seems like they both should bow at one of these fests (or NYFF) if they want to start building buzz. - ty97 Aug 31, 09:15 5

        [deleted] 2

        LFF isn't until October so I don't think they ever get a world premiere of the prestige films. -- nm - LMS Aug 31, 09:18
- also: CAN NOT WAIT to see this - ty97 Aug 31, 08:41
- I tend to think Loving will be (though we'll see) but this should easily be in the mix. -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 08:40 16
  - [deleted] 15
    - I'm wondering how #OscarSoWhite will play in (now that Birth of a Nation is mired in controversy). Then again, La La Land is about Hollywood. - ty97 Aug 31, 08:44 14

        Vulture had a good article about how open the field is right now (even though they think Florence has a hope in a bunch of categories) - LMS Aug 31, 08:51 11

        The funny thing is that that Vulture article talks about this year's "weak crop" of films - ty97 Aug 31, 09:10 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        That's my point. Last year had a great slate, it was just more balanced without one single behemoth. - ty97 Aug 31, 09:16 1

        Music of the Heart. One True Thing. Motherfucking August: Osage County. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 09:03 1
        
        She only got nominated in the latter because they convinced her to add "motherfucking" to every scene though -- nm* - ty97 Aug 31, 09:11
        
        Maybe they can honour the film while ignoring him, since he only directed, wrote... acted in... and produced it. - Reagen Aug 31, 08:50

      - He needs to make a pick in SuperFeud before he has any right to tear into me. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 31, 08:47
I am losing my mind - work is just too busy and ... why is it that Engineers and Architects can't just give you a simple answer? - JenBro Aug 31, 08:25 3
- because you ask non specific questions that have 17 different answers depending on the exact situation and what you want to actually accomplish? -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 08:26 1
  - :) I knew there was a reason -- nm - JenBro Aug 31, 09:10
