'Deadpool' and 'Fantastic Beasts' Join Awards Race with PGA and BAFTA Nomin…

Are you tired of seeing the same old movies getting all the awards buzz this season? Sick of hearing so much about La La LandMoonlight and Manchester by the Sea as sure things at the Oscars? Well, things are looking up for fans of more mainstream and genre fare. In addition to the consistent recognition of the sci-fi drama Arrival, now we’ve got some big honors directed towards Deadpool and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

The former’s recognition comes via the Producers Guild of America Awards, which has nominated the comic book movie for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, aka Best Picture. Named for Deadpool are producer-star Ryan Reynolds and X-Men franchise staples Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg. Its competition is the expected fare, just like with its other recent nomination for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. 

As for Fantastic Beasts, the Harry Potter spinoff prequel is up for the BAFTA for Outstanding British Film, opposite such prestige titles as American Honey and I, Daniel Blake plus the documentary Notes on Blindness (also nominated for Best Documentary). This isn’t the first time the franchise has been represented in the special category. Both Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban were contenders in their years.

Fantastic Beasts is also nominated for Best Production Design, alongside Doctor Strange, costume design, sound and special effects, also alongside Doctor Strange and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Among the other few nominations for blockbuster fare is new Spider-Man Tom Holland, who is up for the audience-chosen Rising Star Award. Both the BAFTAs and the PGA nominees announced today include animated feature contenders, including Zootopia, which in the UK is titled Zootropolis
