Yesterday on Facebook I, again, predicted that Jordan Peele‘s "Get Out" will win the Best Picture Oscar. Then I doubled-down on Twitter.
Jeffrey Wells over at Hollywood Elsewhere had something to say about that:
Jeffrey Wells over at Hollywood Elsewhere had something to say about that:
"What he means is that Get Out, a half creepy, half satiric, racially-stamped Stepford Wives, will slipslide into a win because a huge number of Academy members have it down as their #2 or #3 choice, and that the “kooky” preferential ballot will do the rest."
"Hollywood Elsewhere says no way. I’m not even sure that Get Out will win the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, which will most likely be won by Three Billboards‘ Martin McDonagh. It might win in this category, but forget Best Picture — the apparent momentum of the last week has all been with Three Billboards with everyone assuming that The Shape of Water‘s Guillermo del Toro will take Best Director."
"I’ll say this much: One thing favoring Get Out is that the people who love it really love it, while the Three Billboards and Shape of Water crowd is more composed of likers and accomodationists"
