I only glanced at them, but was happy to see Timothée's and Michael Stuhlbarg's names as Best Actor/Supporting, and the film named first in the Best Picture list. But Armie wasn't there, boo hoo. He had a strong performance but there were many strong performances this year in that category.

Michael Stuhlbarg wasn't nominated this year.
I'm very happy for the best film nomination and for Timothée, but I believe both are long shots.
James Ivory may have a shot for adapted screenplay.
I'm most happy for Sufjan Stevens and his marvelous song.

Must have been wishful thinking on my part.

I’m thoroughly impressed whenever I come across such artfully delivered fundamental truths pertaining to the human condition in literature and films, the latter being furthermore founded upon astounding acting, just like Michael Stuhlbarg’s.
“[...] and have less to offer each time we start with someone new.”
“[...] our hearts and bodies are given to us only once, and before you know it, your heart's worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point where no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it.”
This left me dumbstruck. And inexplicably miserable. Put yourself in the shoes of all those aching people. I know, CMBYN is a film. So is BBM. But think of how many such helpless Elios, Olivers, Jacks and Ennises have to throttle their true feelings, confine their insatiable desires, conform to the society, give up their dreams.
I read the book. I liked it even more than the film. André Aciman has proved to be an agonizingly wise writer, judging by the strong individual conscience presented through the characters.
MILD BOOK SPOILER “[...] but I felt I should say it, because this was the moment to say it, because it suddenly dawned on me that this was why I had come, to tell him “You are the only person I’d like to say goodbye to when I die, because only then will this thing I call my life make any sense. And if I should hear that you died, my life as I know it, the me who is speaking with you now, will cease to exist. [...] We missed out on so much. It was a coma. Tomorrow I go back to my coma, and you to yours.”
So, so sad.

Michael Stuhlbarg wasn't nominated for anything by the Academy this year. Considering how many chances they had, it's revolting. Is the Academy as stupid as Trump now?
(Then I remember Crash.)

While Call Me by Your Name skirted many of the typical tropes of gay love story, its sequel may tackle one of them directly: the specter of HIV and AIDS. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter *, Luca Guadagnino said the sequel, which will likely be set in the late 1980s around the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall, will certainly address the epidemic. “I think it’s going to be a very relevant part of the story,” he said. “I think Elio (Timothée Chalamet) will be a cinephile, and I’d like him to be in a movie theater watching Paul Vecchiali’s Once More … That could be the first scene [in the sequel].” Once More (also known as Encore) was released in 1988 and was the first French feature film to address the disease.
If that were the opening scene, then the sequel would a far different tone than the sunnier original (and André Aciman’s original novel), that, it seems, is Guadagnino’s intention. “In my opinion, Call Me can be the first chapter of the chronicles of the life of these people that we met in this movie,” he said. “If the first one is a story of coming of age and becoming a young man, maybe the next chapter will be, what is the position of the young man in the world, what does he want — and what is left a few years later of such an emotional punch that made him who he is?” Not to give Luca any notes, but if we open with Elio watching Once More and wearing Billowy, the hand-me-down shirt he got from Oliver, that might be too much to bear.
