I think A Star is Born will ultimately get the audience award, but from what I'm hearing, Green Book seems to be quite the crowd pleaser and could have a lot of support as well. FIrst time watching trailer for Green Book and it looks like it has the potential to be this year's Hidden Figures. Viggo is Oscar bound. I think this could even score best picture nod. Looks good.

By the way, you're right, judging by that trailer it wouldn't surprise me if it did win audience award. It was a very effective trailer.

Green Book looks so bad and exactly like the kind of movie that will get a BP nomination. Driving Miss Daisy 2.0.

Thing is that this movie says inspired by true events and I think that title refers to when blacks were allowed in certain places during that time period.

Pretty surprised to see A Star Is Born miss out Me too. Surprised it didn't get at least top 3. Will that may have curbed some potential backlash.

Damn, that A Star Is Born shutout from the top three. I don't think it'll make much of a difference, but Roma shows some audience strength here that could translate into industry voters (if they actually see it).

If the Academy snubs Roma for best picture Netflix will lose their shit and for good reason.

lol why do people take the Audience Award so seriously? It has only matched with the Best Picture winner 4 times in the last 20 years.

If the Academy snubs Roma for best picture Netflix will lose their shit and for good reason. I just can't see it missing at this rate. And what's funny is, Netflix already broke an above-the-line nomination ceiling when Mary J. Blige got in. The precedent has been set. And Roma is poised to be a big fuckin' deal, with it looking to be the critics' darling this year. I still can't quite buy it as a winner, but I can definitely see it being an even more accessible Amour (which got Picture/Director/Actress nods) and Netflix is gunning hard to get it in. Remember: there was a period not too long ago when A24 was mocked as a real threat for nominations, and then Room broke the ceiling. Then Amazon was dismissed until Manchester. People have been taking hard stances for and against Netflix, and most of the "new blood" in the Academy are firmly for it, and I'd argue a lot of the old blood are as well, considering who's been going to Netflix of late (Coens, Scorsese, etc.).

All of the Audience Award winners since 2008 except for one got a Best Picture nomination. It's a hell of a stat, and I think that it shows that Roma (despite being a foreign-language black-and-white film) has some real strength in its audiences and may not be simply a critical favorite (even though most of the people who go to TIFF are more high-minded cinephiles than mainstream audiences). Green Book winning makes it more of a "get" for its studio and they make it more of a priority, which is evident in the relatively weak male fields this year.

This is great for Green Book, though I wouldn't read too much else into it. The Shape of Water and Moonlight both missed the top three. Also, there's never been a year where all three films were BP nominees.

No way in hell is Green Book more than mildly alright fodder for the elderly who want a nice pleasing charm about racial tension. I didn't have much doubt it would get a nom after its performance at the festival. I just think it'd be silly if people started seeing this as some indication as how Star is Born is going to play in the race.

I'm looking at it as nomination. Green Book's win pretty much gives us a heads up that you should not discount it as a possible nominee.

I actually looked that up a couple of years ago and it appears the one time it missed since 2008 was for a movie that was released a year after it won the audience award. Every other movie that was released the same year has gone on to score a nod.

I dunno ............speaking as "the elderly" (lol, ageist!!) what Hollywood film would be a hard hitting drama about racial tension for the "young" that ever got Oscar consideration? Would that demographic you just described be the Star is Born crowd as well - a safe, conservative, 4th time remake about country music? Like the only potential nominee that is avant garde is Roma right? (Haven't seen any of these, just sayin')

If Green Book does well at the box office, I wouldn't be surprised to see Viggo or Ali win eventually.

I think this is going to be a tough call cause it looks like both of them are lead but Viggo is definitely getting nominated.
