    I haven’t seen the movie yet (not even sure when it’s getting a release in my neck of the woods) but it’ll be forever associated with Armie Hammer’s brilliant Twitter-slam of James Woods, so for that alone, I hope it wins tons of awards.

      James Woods was in a cool movie once, it was entitled “Once Upon A Time in America”.

      Too bad Armie Hammer had to go and say such disappointing things with regards to Roman Polanski recently.

    This is shaping up to be a nice year for recognizing mainstays in the supporting roles. Metcalf and Dafoe are both richly deserving.

    And poor, poor, poor Roger Deakins looks again like he will be a bridesmaid. Though dare we dream that a woman, Rachel Morrison, could be nominated and actually win in the cinematography category???? Mudbound was a marvelous effort.

      Second that; poor Roger Deakins. Blade Runner was beautifully shot. I would also love for Hoyte van Hoytema to get some love sometime in my lifetime.

      I met Dafoe once, on the set of “Light Sleeper.” He was so small I felt like I could pick him up and toss him across the room. But I didn’t.

    Del Toro could easily win the Best Director oscar next year. It’s time.

      Poor Nolan. His best reviewed movie ever, and it’s probably not going to happen for him, eh.

      I hope that terrible Meryl Streep loses.

      I would love a del Toro win but recently the LA critics have been making fantastic Best Director picks that then go unrewarded at the Oscars (Barry Jenkins, George Miller, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher).

    I thought that everyone agreed that “Get Out” was the best movie released in this year of 2017??

      I thought that was before we all saw Three Billboards.

    I have a feeling that the LA Film Critics didn’t see Three Billboards. How awkward for them.

      Considering it was the runner-up in several categories, it would seem your feeling is wrong.

      That’s just what someone who didn’t see a film would do, make them the ‘runner-up’. I’m no fool!

    Haven’t heard much about The Breadwinner but now I’m intrigued. The LA Critics have a strong track record picking interesting winners in the Best Animated Film category (they’re part of why I saw Ernest & Celestine, The Triplets of Belleville, and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya - three terrific movies).

      At least they go for non Disney stuff good for them. The Oscars should take note.

    I can really get behind Blade Runner winning best production design. I was amazed throughout by it. I just haven’t seen any of the rest of these films

    Why isn’t Phantom Thread winning everything?! One of the best movies of the decade.

    Willem Defoe is great and should be in more movies.
