I'm thinking Hidden Figures at the moment -- nm - LMS Aug 31, 08:41 17

  - I heard they both did. -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 09:11 4

      - The Vulture article mentions it a few times (though it mentions lots of films TBF) -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 09:16 2
        
        I think I read it in Jezebel, Vulture and perhaps HuffPo. -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 09:22

  - Hidden Figures is doing an event and scene screening at TIFF, but not the whole film (not ready?) - ty97 Aug 31, 09:01 10

      - 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

        I'm wondering if anything without the the star power of Leo and Innaratu could replicate that today -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 09:20

        This is exactly why I am trying to figure out what Fences and Hidden Figures are doing (but as mentioned, we need to wait for Telluride to announce) -- nm* - ty97 Aug 31, 09:19 1

    - London Film Festival is announcing their schedule tomorrow -- nm - LMS Aug 31, 09:04 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

  - 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

        I'll never rule out Meryl off hand. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 08:56
        
        Not even Meryl, just because she's Meryl? -- nm - LMS Aug 31, 08:56 8

        The funny thing is that that Vulture article talks about this year's "weak crop" of films - ty97 Aug 31, 09:10 3

        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

        That's the Globes :) -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 09:01 2
        
        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

- it supposably makes Requiem For a Dream look like an Adam Sandler comedy -- nm - shaolin fantastic Aug 31, 08:40 1
  - Don't ruin my buzz! -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 08:46
