So the only opportunity to see it was to head to the multiplex during the month between its release and the deadline, which is a time during which lots of voters are frantically playing catch-up and thus practicing triage. <i>Fences</i> is obviously a hugely acclaimed play, but after <i>Antwone Fisher</i> and <i>The Great Debaters</i>, "directed by Denzel Washington" isn't likely a huge draw for this crowd, regardless of the project's pedigree. Nor did it get the sort of wildly positive response from initial AVB viewers that would make it seem like a must-see. So I suspect it was a low priority for many.md'ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055853987416332662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-59125405400563184222017-02-13T15:55:08.965-05:002017-02-13T15:55:08.965-05:00So I totally misread D'Angelo's comment:

How come only 14 folks (likely < 40% of the AVB) saw it? Timing doesn't seem the reason -- it was released into multiplexes and had major stars and obvious awards contenders (IOW, we're not talking TONI ERDMANN or PATERSON release-wise here)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-21376264719505709402017-02-13T15:12:59.895-05:002017-02-13T15:12:59.895-05:00We do have five actors of color among the 20 "...We do have five actors of color among the 20 "nominees" this year (though only one is African-American). <i>Fences</i>, as a limited Christmas release, was relatively underseen—Davis' and Washington's 10 votes apiece came from only 14 potential voters.md'ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055853987416332662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-89585428405464401172017-02-13T14:59:03.696-05:002017-02-13T14:59:03.696-05:00If #5 Lead Female has 154 points or fewer, I for o...If #5 Lead Female has 154 points or fewer, I for one WON'T forget what you said below.<br /><br />Also ... neither FENCES actor getting s "nomination"?? #SkandiesSoWhiteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-44052887401729667332017-02-13T14:52:58.014-05:002017-02-13T14:52:58.014-05:00Hmmm... okay, let's all just forget about what...Hmmm... okay, let's all just forget about what I said below.
