I kind of wish Logan would but Logan might not even get a nomination after the Deadpool snub.

Everything described to me about Get Out places it as transformative of the genre. I know the Academy has a bias towards both genres though. Hopefully one of these wins and I might be mad if neither is nominated.

I have not seen Get Out but I think it is great that Jordan Peele turned out to be such a breakout director. I can understand him winning best director.

I do feel kind of bad for rooting against Get Out and for Logan knowing how transformative Get Out is supposedly for Cinema... Its just Logan was soooo good :D

On a side note... I hope that this dude directs a Metal Gear Solid movie, zombie movie, or a super hero movie. Seems like a legendary tier director already.

Yes, let's decide award season 4 months into the new year. Makes so much sense!

Probably a joke topic, but I still want to say that it's extremely unlikely. Award shows are biased towards dramas which release towards the end of a year, including ones that haven't even made it into mainstream theaters yet.

Idk, the trailer makes it seem like it is 100% serious. I did not expect Peele to be such a great director.

The movie that wins best picture will be a movie you heard nothing about until it wins best picture like moonlight

Btw moonlight was absolutely incredible and deserved best picture. Although I haven't seen la la land. Saw the rest of them though.

I am 100% serious. I feel like they are going to be digging through obscure indies this year trying to find something to win over this or Logan.

The Academy seems to have bias towards those genres (horror in particular).

You haven't seen it but you're calling it the best movie of the year?

And you want him to direct other movies based upon a movie you haven't seen?

The fuck am I reading?

I am calling Logan the best movie of the year and am scared it will not win Best Picture or worse be nominated because I am a stupid fanboy.
I am just guessing Get Out wins. I have seen Keanu which was pretty great. If he is this great of a director and funny to boot. I feel like he should meet with Hideo Kojima.

You say that you're serious then mention that the Academy is biased towards horror when it's very well-known that horror is the least-winning major genre, even behind scifi. As for Logan, you might as claim the Power Rangers movie is in the running.

They really do need some category for the action/blockbuster genre imo

Best picture? You do know that Get Out is a horror film, not a biopic, right?

I am saying that I feel it will win based on the buzz. I watched the trailer and believe that it truly does transform the genre.
I am not saying that it is not well deserved. I personally am not a huge horror fan but am in awe at the tremendous success of Get Out. I just hope Logan gets at-least nominated for something. It may not be groundbreaking like Get Out but it is phenomenal for what it is.

I was saying the Academy is biased against Super Hero movies (Deadpool snub) and horror movies. I think Get Out will win (do not want to Jinx it) given the buzz. However it has some hurdles to overcome because the bias against the genre.

Quite a bit, actually, but never so much that it stops being scary. And let me tell you, it is fucking terrifying.

It's played straight but there's some stupid out of place humor as well.

It hits the "diversity" checklist, so it's very possible.

I never felt it went to far with it's humor, myself, but to each their own. I felt it was a very effective satire.

Not really, there are countless other horror-comedies which have tackled perceived social issues that didn't even warrant a nod from the Academy.
