Sicario The latest film from director Denis Villeneuve, Sicario is a haunting look at the War on Drugs from the perspective of a good cop caught up in events beyond her control. Emily Blunt plays Kate Macer, whose curiosity and sense of duty take her further than she ever expected, led by the hand by the anti-Cartel operative Matt Graver, played by Josh Brolin in a alternatingly laid-back and grimly threatening performance. Benicio del Toro plays Alejandro, a government advisor who manifests as a force of nature with questionable loyalties and unspeakable methods of getting the job done. The film is a thematically-dense examination of power and authority, and of the consequences of shepherds becoming too much like wolves. Roger Deakins' rich cinematography is breathtaking at points, and creates a darkly beautiful tone for the film when paired with Jóhann Jóhannsson's droning score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR0SDT2GeFg For your consideration in the categories of Best Picture Best Director: Denis Villeneuve Best Actress in a Leading Role: Emily Blunt as Kate Macer Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Benicio del Toro as Alejandro Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Josh Brolin as Matt Graver Best Cinematography: Roger Deakins Best Original Screenplay: Taylor Sheridan Best Original Score: Jóhann Jóhannsson Best Food/Meal Scene: Silvio's breakfast with his son Terrorist Fistbump fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Jan 11, 2016 |

My nominations are in! Some categories were surprisingly hard -- there were tons of great and great-looking films last year.

Sad to see Bridge of Spies didn't get more love in the nominations. Guess it didn't make the same impression on everyone that it did on me. Sicario deserves all the awards it gets. Hands down my favorite film of the year. It even gave us the best CineD thread of 2015! Just realized I didn't nominate Cartel Land for best documentary

Ewar Woowar posted:Just saw this list. No Revenant as best picture or best director?! No Brie Larson or any awards for Room? Crazy. Judging by the reactions in its thread, CineD overall wasn't impressed with The Revenant. I don't get it either. Chappie somehow made the best picture list though. This forum is full of weird cranks and that's what makes it fun. Also, like one person saw Room.

TrixRabbi posted:I nominated Room for a ton of awards and y'all failed me. This process has shown me how many good films I missed this year even though I saw more of them than ever before. 2016 will be different.

Great showcase of Sicario's cinematography. I was really hoping it would win that category, and you goons didn't let me down.

How many people voted this year? Do these awards reflect the opinions of ivory tower film snobs or the great unwashed moviegoing masses?
