Lets seriously talk about Oscar chances


A Visual Effects and Sound Design win/nomination I believe are locked.

There is now way it's getting best picture and cinematography but best adapted screenplay may be one they'll get.

RDJ could get a supporting actor nod.

Not sure about RDJ getting the supporting actor nom... but for special effects and such... it could get nominated...

It will only be considered for technical awards. Nothing for the writing, directing, or acting.

Despite the fact that this was a strong performer in a year where there were a lot of underperforming films, I believe in terms of Best Picture and overall film quality, storytelling and acting, I believe The Jungle Book has the best chance of winning. That film was some movie magic and looks and feels so fresh and alive.

It also requires no prior viewing to enjoy fully unlike this film which came after over 10 films. That's gonna go against it somehow.

Jungle Book won't win any major awards either. Awards for acting, writing, directing, and overall quality are going to real movies. Google "Oscar contenders 2017" and see how many potential major category nominees are superhero movies or children's films.

Pretty much nothing except some tech awards.

Even though it deserves more.
