UPDATED Oscar Predix 9.23.16

I have decided to take out "Silence." All signs point to it not even coming out this year and if it did wouldn't you think Paramount would push the film a bit more for Awards season? We don`t have a trailer, no promotional events and barely a still. Do they even have fate in it?

"Lion" has been added after my TIFF screening. I am not a fan of the film, but its crowd-pleasing roots are irresistible for the mainstream.
