2017 Academy Award Nominees

   OK well i didn't do badly on my predictions but didn't do as good as i had hoped. I did get Best Director and Best Supporting Actor completely right but Viggo Mortensen got me in Best Actor and no Amy Adams in Best Actress Academy? Come on guys. 
   
   Anyway this years crop of nominees in pretty much every category is one of the most solid and competitive in years. You can make a very solid case for every nominee and in a few, Best Actor for instance, it wouldn't be shocking for any of the nominees to win it. Thats a rarity as lately there's always been one glaring instance of "What are they doing here?" every year but the Academy seems to have avoided doing that this season.

   Anyway not going to do a full on prediction post yet as need some time to actually SEE everything thats up this year but here's a complete rundown of this years nominees:
