Maybe I'm not the only one here, but I believe the Sundance Breakout 'Call Me By Your Name' is going to win Big Next Year. Seriously, as of right now, the reception to this Film is at 'Boyhood' levels of Critical Acclaim. Anyone have any thoughts?

I don't believe It's gonna be like that though. If It's going to lose to anything, It'll be 'Mudbound.' (Not Wonderstruck or Dunkirk) 'Boyhood' lost because the shine on It's Gimmick started to fade and uninterest Academy Voters, while the buzz for Iñárritu's One-Shotted Hollywood/Theater Based 'Birdman' rapidly increased. When you look at it, the current buzz for 'Call Me By Your Name' is at the level 'Moonlight' was when It premiered at Telluride Film Festival back in September, only more beloved and celebrated. Now, what I mean by "Boyhood levels of Critical Acclaim," is not the overall hype, but the Reception and Praise It receives from the audiences who have seen it. "Boyhood" started as this big fucking overblown deal when Linklater announced he was working on the project for "12 Years." That same out of proportion Acclaim that followed is what killed the chances of it winning Best Picture. It was there from the get go. 'Call Me By Your Name' is actually pretty unknown when compared to Boyhood, much like 'Moonlight.' And trust me, the buzz that surrounds it will only get bigger when It spreads to wider audiences when Oscar Season comes around. By then I'll believe It'll have enough momentum to be a MASSIVE Player in the Race, If not be the Actual Winner for Best Picture. Only If something from a Massive Studio doesn't come out of nowhere and take the win. (Which doesn't look plausible, at least right now.)

Also, 'Boyhood' was a story about a Boy's Life. CMBYN however, Is a Gay Love Story set in 1980s Italy. A Love Story that I believe Films like 'Moonlight' opened the doors for.

It speaks to everyone on an emotional level that transcends orientation. It's less Commercial than 'Brokeback Mountain' or 'Moonlight.' The Baggage that complicates and suppressing the Romance is nowhere to be found, instead It unleashes it making us relate and understand our main characters feelings without making it complicated. Also, the majority of people in Hollywood today are considered Liberal and Accepting of others, in this dark current age of The Conservative Trump Administration and all that. And I'd think they outway the crusty old white men voting for 'Darkest Hour' for Best Picture, even though It probably won't be good. *COUGH COUGH* (Joe Wright) *COUGH COUGH*

Any kind of movie winning twice in a row is fairly unlikely, I'd say. Voter fatigue.

Did you watch it already or something?
And I agree with Martin Stett, a gay movie, or any two similar movies for that matter will not win BP two straight years.

Not the Best Film of the Year Logically, but what's considered the best at that particular time. 'Call Me By Your Name' will likely be considered just that by many voters. Ala 'Driving Miss Daisy, Shakespeare In Love, American Beauty, etc.' Also, No Voter fatigue for LGBTQ Films Winning Best Picture in Mid 30s Liberal Democratic Hollywood. Again, 'Best Picture' is usually a statement. 'Mudbound' might have a chance though.

Nope, it is not winning
Moonlight grossed 20m and captured the zeitgeist in an unprecedented way-- it also faced ZERO backlash whatsoever while this movie will be criticized for the older man, younger boy angle
Honestly, Moonlight would never win during any other year, but we had a nasty election season which led to La La Land facing a staggering amount of backlash
Moonlight emerged as a basically political vote and had massive lobbying on social media prior to the deadline (not to discredit its acclaim, of course)
This is just a gay summer romance, so it wont serve as a statement vote

It probably won't win BP, but I can definitely see it getting a lot of love during nominations morning and win Adapted Screenplay.

i hope it holds up the buzz… which is a bit fading at the moment. But it is such an incredibly beautiful film with so many fantastic performances. I cannot wait to watch it again. Already a 10/10 for me this year.

Having a LGBTQ film win 2 years in a row is already quite a statement, not just to politics; but a statement in general. But yes, 'The Post' is somewhat relevant, It only depends if Spielberg can make something magnificent, not something just above average.

A gay movie winning twice in a row? Nopoe. Poverty and social problem are actually the main topic of Moonlight, and it is not actually a usual gay romance that ppl think. The gay thing in moonlight is the result of the main character's horrible childhood with mom as the drug addict and Bullying at school. Two closest male friends in his life are the ones who truly understand him and can give him hope to stand. His mom didn't give a shit about his son just as the environment. Call me by your name is a different film with different problems Haven't seen Moonlight yet, so I'll take your word for it. However, I think people will latch onto the gay narrative on CMBYN, since that's a great deal of what has been reported in the press about Moonlight
