________________

Surprised Blue is the Warmest Colour didn't get in for best Foreign and Best Supporting Actress for Adèle Exarchopoulos. Blackfish for best Documentary the only other snub I see.

Everything else looks fine and expected.

As I said before France didn't put it forward, and boy did it backfire on them. If they had done not only do I think it would have made the list, but it possibly would have won as well. You are right Adele should have been nominated, her and Blanchett have produced the best two performances I have seen this year. Sadly for whatever reason the Academy rarely nominate Foreign films or actors in the leading cataogories.

I will make my predictions soon.

 

[Chris]

I've yet to see Nebraska or Philomena yet but here's how I'd rank the Best Picture nominees without those two.

The Wolf of Wall Street
Dallas Buyers Club
Captain Phillips
12 Years a Slave
Gravity
Her
American Hustle

I've enjoyed all of these quite a bit so far, usually there's a few nominees that I don't care for but they've all been enjoyable this year.

 

[Keith]

[Chris]

These aren't predictions, but which ones I think should win even if I don't think they will:

Best Picture: The Wolf of Wall Street

Best Actor: Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club

Best Actress: Sandra Bullock for Gravity

Best Supporting Actor: Michael Fassbender for 12 Years a Slave

Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Lawrence for American Hustle

Best Director: Alfonso Cuarón for Gravity

Best Original Screeplay: Spike Jonze for Her

Best Adapted Screenplay: Billy Ray for Captain Phillips

Best Animated Feature: Frozen

Best Foreign Language Film: Haven't seen any.

Best Cinematography: Emmanuel Lubezki for Gravity

Best Editing: Alfonso Cuarón for Gravity

Best Production Design: Her

Best Costume Design: The Great Gatsby

Best Makeup and Hairstyling: Dallas Buyers Club

Best Original Score: Her

Best Sound Mixing: Inside Llewyn Davis

Best Sound Editing: Gravity

Best Visual Effects: Star Trek Into Darkness

Best Documentary Feature: Dirty Wars

Haven't seen any of the short categories.

 

[We Are Legion]

Dallas Buyers Club will clean house. If Wolf of Wall Street wins anything, it'll probably be Scorsese for Best Director. But Dallas Buyers Club has a lot of potential to go fucking nuclear on these awards. McConaughey has had a ridiculous year, so I would be really disappointed if he didn't win best actor. But if Jared Leto doesn't win Best Supporting Actor, the show is fucking rigged.

Frankly I hope Gravity doesn't win anything. Terrible movie.

 

[Chris]

It was so hard for me not to give Leto Best Supporting Actor but man of all the slaveowners I've seen in movies (to be fair, I've seen like 6 between this one and Django), Michael fucking Fassbender absolutely killed it.

 

[Keith]

Fassbender should win for me, but I just don't see the Academy going that way.

Also if Lawrence does win as expected then that is a very soft Oscar win. She is a good actress, but that is not one of her great performances.

Another thing I find silly is how the winner of best picture hardly ever wins for best director, considering that the director is considered king in film.

 

[Chris]

Also if Lawrence does win as expected then that is a very soft Oscar win. She is a good actress, but that is not one of her great performances.

I thought it was just a weak year for supporting actresses. The only other one that stood out to me was Julia Roberts.

Supporting actor is a very strong race this year though, all those guys did great.

Wolf for best picture for me. Terrific movie especially for 3 hours. Enjoyed it the most. And was originally was gonna go with Leo to finally win the big one for TWOWS, but man McConaughey was too good in DBC. I'm fine with whoever wins best supporting. Thought Leto was great don't get me wrong, but not THAT amazing. Going with Bullock over Blanchett because she was terrific as pretty much the main character throughout the whole film and gave a very believable and gripping performance despite some of the movies flaws. Oh and because Blanchett's movie is Blue Jasmine and Woody Allen is a pedo. That golden globes dedication thing to him was oh ever so laughable. Gravity will win a lot of awards in the production area.

 

[Gimmick]

Also if Lawrence does win as expected then that is a very soft Oscar win. She is a good actress, but that is not one of her great performances.

It was soft when she won it the first time as well. I think she's good, but I didn't see anything overly impressive about her performance in Hustle. I'd also argue that she was too young for the part as well, but I guess that's another argument altogether.

I think the nomination is to just appeal to the younger audience a bit more.

 

[Keith]

I thought it was just a weak year for supporting actresses. The only other one that stood out to me was Julia Roberts.

Supporting actor is a very strong race this year though, all those guys did great.

Don't agree it has been a weak year for supporting actress. Sally Hawkins was great in Blue Jasmine, Lupita Nyong'o who would be my winner tonight was excellent in 12 Years, and Lea Souydoux should have been nominated for BITWC.

That has nothing to do with it, you can still respect someone's talent without respecting them personally.

Gimmick I did think Lawrence's win last year was well deserved, it is rare for someone that young to win an Oscar, but I thought it was well deserved. I have nothing against her performance in American Hustle its enjoyable, but nothing more.

 

[We Are Legion]

Dallas Buyers Club already has 2 Oscars. Fuck Bitches, Get Money. :
