Definitely going to see this.

This is going to land Rockwell multiple nominations.

McDormand too. But who cares about douchey awards anymore. They're all shallow diversity barometers.

This is true, but I want Rockwell to be celebrated. The man is a national fucking treasure.

Woody H. might steal his thunder in the same supporting category. Woody I would also classify as a national treasure. All the award handicappers say both men (plus McDormand for lead actress) are nomination locks. Martin McDonaugh's script also a safe bet. I wish I didn't know so much about the gold statue race every year, because the rationales for what deserves to win gets more douchey every year. Films like this that are entirely white get dinged for lack of racial inclusiveness. The theme is going to be "women are great" this year because of Weinstein and others, which will help Three Billboards because of its theme of femininity fighting back. Dunkirk will have a lot to overcome socially despite its historical and epic prestige.
