This here is my buddy, Oscar. Every year, they give out like 50 of him (though they only televise like 15-20). This year, they will be giving out the Oscars on Sunday, February 26, 2017.

Here are the nominees. DO NOT PREDICT YET! I will put the form up tonight or tomorrow.

Hey guys and gals, these are predictions are due in roughly 2 and a half days. So far I have received 11 responses. Since I somehow forgot to mention this in the OP THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE A $50 MOVIE THEATER GIFT CARD TO THE CHAIN OF THEIR CHOICE that allows you to buy e-gift cards.

I'd say plus other stuff but I don't think other pledgers of prizes have been ponying up lately. So, get them in!

    I legit feel bad for the supporting actress noms. No way in hell Viola Davis should be there.

    She would have easily won LEAD, supporting is basically the Hulk beating up a bunch of babies.

    I don't think its unprecedented. There have been multiple nominations in other categories in the past (Supporting actors, for example). It depends on what the studio submits to the Academy.

    If it's anything like how Chi-Raq went, it'll be available on Prime before it's available anywhere else (and probably within a month or two) but not like, before it's out of theaters.

    No. It says coming to Prime in the spring on the Amazon listing. Available to buy and possibly rent on Feb 7.

    Green Room deserves a production design award, if nothing else

    That club felt so fucking real, hearing that it was all created on a soundstage blew me the fuck away

    Ok, i'm going to confess something in this thread because Best Animated is the only category i feel comfortable caring about
    I didn't like Kubo and the Two Strings very much

    The beats of the plot and the fight scenes where great, but the voice acting performances left something to be desired (Except Kubo and his grandpa, thank god) and some of the dialogue was way too clunky for me

    Those are the movies that never get nominated.

    We need a new awards show.

    I'm going to start one.

    The Raijin's

    I just need a nude cast of @Rorshach Kringle to use as the statue.

    Yeah like, I know

    I think I just got hopeful after the Fury Road noms last year

    I started thinking there was someone involved with the Oscars who had my taste in movies

    Now it's time to watch all the shorts that I have apparently completely missed.

    At least Inner Workings was not nominated. There is some good in the world.

    There was buzz after it was nominated by the Golden Globes and the Producers' Guild, since those voters also vote in the Academy.

    The Oscars feels worse than normal and way more back-patting than before. I dunno if it's because of the current political climate.

    I still don't understand the Meryl Streep love.

    The only movies up there I've seen are zootopia, rogue one, and dr strange.

    I feel like I've really fallen off on seeing critically acclaimed films.

    This is the only animated short up on youtube. It's 360, which is cool. The actual short is... ok.

    It was a really good movie, but Moana and Zootopia were both better.

    Never bet against Disney in the animated feature category, unless their nominee is part of the Cars franchise.

    Kubo was beautiful but also had big pacing problems for me

    It deserves that Visual Effects nom but definitely not Animated Feature

    I'm not sure A Dog's Purpose has the same level of graphic violence though.
