Post The Oscars Awaken
Okay, there is no way it is not getting nominated, right?

It will have the box-office, it has the legacy and it sure as fuck has the reviews.

It is not gonna win, but it is definitely, definitely getting nominated for BP.

I dunno, I'm still skeptical of a BP nod. Especially with Mad Max and The Martian also in the mix.

Yeah, it's going to get nominated, and the rating is going to be massive with all the blockbusters in the mix.

The Academy was notoriously anti-Star Wars in 2005 in the tech nominations. But obviously this will be a superior film. So who knows, I could see it.

My first thought was that the inclusion of Star Wars would hurt The Martian's chances...but that didn't happen with Avatar/District 9.

I don't think it will hurt The Martian's chance at a nomination, but it will definitely hurt its chance at winning by both taking the buzz away and presenting the question that if you'll vote for The Martian at No. 1, why not Star Wars then that's in the same genre, with bigger box office, and even better reviews on top of all.

If Star Wars/The Martian/Mad Max all get nominated and Spotlight ends up winning, it'll be a bigger letdown for the audience than when The Hurt Locker won. At least The Hurt Locker appealed to the same audience of District 9 and Avatar, while for Spotlight/Carol, not so much.

Those fucking elitist assclowns could care less about blockbuster quality, if nominated it will merely be to appease the fans.

If there are 10 nominations then it has a chance, but 5? no way.

If there were to be five nominees, we'd know it already.

If it came out in May there would be no chance. Now? Just maybe. Though it would surely bump Mad Max or Martian out.
