And I, too, will be upset if those nods and more go unacknowledged come awards season, 'cause damn do they earn it here. :)Chris Widdophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976278029088673041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-26097711554713349962017-03-20T15:46:55.169-04:002017-03-20T15:46:55.169-04:00Cpman here --

It's a character study essentially, and being a gigantic fan of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine really aided in my love for the movie. If Keen doesn't get a nod for Best Supporting Actress and Stewart for Supporting Actor, Ill be upset. I dont think this movie will be topped by anything. Great review.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907013132096339277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-80764229923770628562017-03-18T19:37:56.710-04:002017-03-18T19:37:56.710-04:00True, the Academy still definitely has a ways to g...True, the Academy still definitely has a ways to go in fixing their broken system. But I can see Jackman possibly getting it for similar reasons as you just noted, to show appreciation for a true cinematic accomplishment for playing the role so well for so long, and going out in as great a fashion as he did.Chris Widdophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976278029088673041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-73138466438489043002017-03-18T13:45:12.342-04:002017-03-18T13:45:12.342-04:00But with Mad Max they still didn't have the ba...But with Mad Max they still didn't have the balls to nominate the best thing there - Theron. But Jackman is so well liked, played the part for 17 years and he got strong reviews so he has a better shot than hers.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-78009391156152250542017-03-17T11:51:36.291-04:002017-03-17T11:51:36.291-04:00Thanks, Sati!

Of course, it was a bit of a long shot that the Academy would actually nominate Mad Max a couple years back, and that still managed to happen, so there is SOME hope I feel.

This is a terrific review and I too hope the Academy stops the madness of overlooking genre films and just going for 'serious' dramas. Just because something has fantasy elements doesn't make it stupid, I have not been moved as much as this movie moved me by any of the BP nominees last year. Stewart was just heartbreaking and Jackman, even 17 years of commitment aside, gave absolutely beautiful performance. I sincerely doubt anything this year tops this movie or their work for me.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-25792590705315002312017-03-17T10:59:34.023-04:002017-03-17T10:59:34.023-04:00Thanks, Brittani!

(I'm glad you wrote it, it's okay if everyone else has written about it too) I hope the Academy remembers Logan around Oscar time, I'm not confident right now that they will.
