To go over a few points:
1. I agree on Jackie. I will try to get to it. The subject isn't interesting to me at all. However, as a Natalie Portman fan, and based off the love of her performance and the little bits I've seen I'm pretty damn sure her performance alone is worth the watch. Also I believe it was Hayden who gave a glowing review of it a few months back and honestly that made me more interested in the direction and more technical aspects present in the film.
2. Toni Erdmann looks really good. My buddies at filmspotting loved it, and others whose opinions I respect. Will get to that once I find a good copy of it.
3. Picked up some blu rays and DVDs at the store today. Including Manchester By The Sea. I just watched it again, and it's solid as my number one of the year and one of my all time faves. It resonates with me intensely. Casey's performance is an all time great one, and some of the moments just shake me. I love the non linear timeline. And I adore the whole atmosphere and world of the movie. As far as films about death and tragedy impeding all forward thrust or happiness for a person, this is up there as one of the best. Reminds me of The Sweet Hereafter so much at times, and that's an all time top 10 movie for me. I guess I just gravitate to sobering, bone-deep sadness depicted in films. Also went to a very emotional memorial for a friend this morning. So this movie's power was further boosted as a result.
Also got a copy of Edge of Seventeen. Will watch that soon and maybe move it up higher (unlikely to go lower).
4. As for sausage party, never got around to it despite its constant presence just a click away on Netflix. Animation and comedy just haven't been drawing me out recently. May get around to it someday but there's about a 3 percent chance it'll be before the deadline.
5. Casey Affleck. I know i mentioned it earlier. But seriously this performance is so astounding I have to mention it again. Seeing it a second time knowing where the story goes and where his character is at emotionally/spiritually, just made me admire the power of his small actions and facial changes and the details of his performance.

Yeah, course I remember Marvin. One of the best parts. That mailbox scene? Gold. The dog actor was actually female (playing a different gender in film is very difficult, kudos to her for pulling it off so convincingly). Sadly, she passed away shortly after filming. I'd be all for it if you wanted to include her in the best actress category.

It might be because I'm not American, but I really don't give a damn about JFK or Jackie Kennedy... which, you know, kinda makes sense. However, Jackie is easily one of my favourite of the year. Such a phenomenal final product. It's a far bigger film than just politics.
Yeah, Toni Erdmann is a must-not-miss film. I'm really surprised Hollywood wants to remake it... it's really European humour. There's one scene in particular that I think will go over terribly in an American version... I actually think they might have to cut it. But yeah, I saw it in a little theatre a couple of months back and for the entire last hour of the film the crowd was in hysterics. There's genuinely some things in Toni Erdmann that I've never seen in any other films It has all the signs of being a cult classic.
I thought Sausage Party was meh, but I'm still glad it exists.
And I agree with everything you said about Manchester By The Sea. It'll be an indie classic. Affleck's performance came out of nowhere (for me anyway) and hands-down deserved the Oscar.

This movie is too much fun to pass up.
I've heard good things about Jackie, but as a history buff I'm skeptical. The history of the Kennedys is fascinating, and I'm pretty certain this movie is going to whitewash, omit, or plain disregard historical accuracy. The movie supposedly takes place in the aftermath of JFK's assassination. Will there be any mention of JFK being a bad husband by cheating on her? I doubt it. Will there be any mention of Jackie sleeping around with RFK during her grief post-assassination? Again, I doubt it.
Been busy and thus haven't seen much lately. Gonna try to catch Jackie and/or Demolition before deadline. Overall I wasn't impressed with the 2016's movie output.

Honestly, I expected to get a pure Oscar-bait film out of Jackie, but I came out of it incredibly moved. The score from Mica Levi does as much, if not more, than Portman's Oscar worthy performance for the film IMO.

Definitely watch Demolition if you're a Jake Gyllenhaal fan as I am. It's not his best (but we're talking about one of the decade's best actors if you ask me), and not as humorous as the trailer suggests, but it's really good.

A reminder that the deadline is coming up. If there's any interest in extending it a week, I'm all ears.

Deadlines are normally Saturdays, and I thought an extension was being considered?
Ok I'll get something posted today.
