    I agree on all the nominations, this is awesome! However, I thought Ridley’s performance was phenomenal and was hoping she’d also get a nod.

      She and Driver were great. Though Driver’s got experience, I think as a rookie, Daisy really pulled it out.

    Oscar nominations for sound, original score, visual effects and art design are very likely too, with an editing nomination being a long shot, but not impossible after TFA’s ACE nod. I don’t expect any Oscar nominations in the main categories ( best actor/actress, best director, original screenplay, cinematography, and best picture).

      I don’t think Best Supporting Actress for Daisy would be a stretch. Considering some of the past nominations in acting categories….

    Don’t agree with the sound design, but production and Boyega are awesome

      I liked the maybe not the design, but the mixing on it was superb. The mixing on the blaster fights, especially, was spot on. Like in the beginning or in the shootout at Maz’s [ex]castle, the blasters actually sounded dangerous like something that could kill you — overall the gunfights in this movie were some of the best in the series, mostly thanks to the editing and sound mixing.

    This film really reminds me a lot of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in some ways in the sense that it’s not so much that either film was particularly spectacular nor broke any new ground in terms of storytelling or originality but was more about their fandom starving for new material after a decade of cinematic absence not being satisfied with all the so-so books/comics in between. After that came Wrath Of Khan which WAS a great film thanks to new a bold new direction which I’m hoping we get with Johnson’s writing/directing in VIII.

        Lol, Probably both true and fair. I’m a lot more harsh on the EU though.

          I don’t even want to see what “a lot more harsh” looks like.

            Try reading The Crystal Star and you’ll see there’s no such thing as being too harsh. Lol.
