re: It's clear... Dunkirk is fricked this award season...

Nolan has done fairly well in the Directorial awards in the regional awards running up to the Oscars. The big tell will be the DGA's, which come out in February. winner there will be a huge favorite.
It's a good 4-way race between Nolan, Peele, Gerwig, and del Toro. Based on the Globes, McDonagh might now get a courtesy nod for Three Billboards, but it'll likely go to PT Anderson for Phantom Thread.

Do they have an award for best score? If so, it needs to win that. Hans Zimmer was awesome in it.

It makes the 12-20 range as far as best films that I saw in 2017. I enjoyed a lot of it. But it certainly didn’t live up to the hype.

I didn't care for Ladybird. At all.

Yeah, he's been getting nominated everywhere. Doubtful he wins because some of the other ones he's up against are beautiful. But he's not going unrecognized.

This board's constant Nolan taint sniffing is funny.
He did direct one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life with Interstellar. He's earned his place at the top of the mountain.

Dunkirk will easily win some technical awards
But to act like it’s getting robbed if it loses best pic or best director is ridiculous. And I loved it. But he definitely deserves the nomination that I’m sure he’ll get

Pretty much all of this.

I'm not a Christopher Nolan fanboy, and I've seen several movies I've loved this year (Three Billboards, Blade Runner 2049, Wind River, The Big Sick), but Dunkirk was my favorite. I thought it was absolutely incredible. I can't believe so many people disliked it.

I just saw it and really didn't care for it either. I wish he had gone with linear storytelling instead of that jumping around stuff... Was really distracting.
Also he didn't really show the grand scale of 400,000 men on a beach or the rescue. I was really disappointed and I love WW II movies

I have to agree. I don't mind movies that aren't linear but I really don't think it worked at all in Dunkirk.
It honestly felt like 3 separate short films pinched together. Which detracts from the drama.
Suspense was wasn't there for such a dramatic and historic event...urgency and desperation, fear, potential catastrophic failure - I mean Churchill feared this would be the end of the War before it really started - wasn't really felt on screen. It felt tame and isolated. And the jumping between the stories just exacerbated that lack of drama or lack of desperation.

Dunkirk was possibly the best movie I've seen this year.
Three Billboards is good, but I found it didn't quite live up to the hype.

I thought Dunkirk was pretty good, but there were other films I liked more (Three Billboards, Wind River, Florida Project, Get Out)

Read the history downvotes.
Movie doesn't capture it remotely.
It's like Saving Priviate Ryan on D-day and you have 5 guys vs. 8 guys and it's lazer tag on the beaches of Normandy.
I don't know why he held back and neutered the event. But it lacks drama and constantly switching back and forth between stories.
Idea failed. It's like Spielberg showing the shark and then going to a dance recital on land for the Mayor's daughter and then back to the shark and then to the Police Chief's wife getting a manicure and then back to Quint and the boat and then back to a Soda shop where a boy didn't get killed and then back to the boat and back to the dance recital and back to to back to back.

I could not care less about the 'history downvotes'.

no shite. Dunkirk was an OK watch the first time but theres no way i will sit through that again unless i'm trying to show off 4k UHD to some friends. the movie had a great soundtrack and some really good shots but the movie was pretty much average

I'm a ww2 buff, tons of books, watch every documentary.
I had a hard time staying awake in Dunkirk. I don't get the hype.

Absolutely. Aside from this I thought it was a disappointing movie. I saw a review that said it's a great movie in the theater and will be a poor movie at home, much like Gravity. Well, I saw it at home and literally fell asleep in the middle. And I don't buy that a movie can be great in a theater and bad at home. A movie is not great without a story that holds up even with the "challenge" of a 60 inch HD TV.
