[Bobby Roberts]

The only golden statue I'm even remotely worried about this year is Supporting Actor.

That needs to go to JK Simmons for Whiplash.

 

[aparisi2274]

I'd love to see Keaton win for Birdman

 

[Cerberus]

Simmons has the Oscar locked down.

Simmons has the Oscar locked down.

I thought that about Ellen Burstyn in 2001. And then Erin Brockovich happened.

That was one of the best performances I have ever seen on screen..

American Sniper is coming on strong, so Bradley Cooper might knock out Gyllenhaal. I put Chazelle in 'cause I like Whiplash, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Ava Duvernay get a nom.

 

[Jb]

Best Actor category seems crazy crowded this year. I was hoping Ralph Fiennes would get a nom but there were a lot of fantastic performances this year that will probably edge him out.

 

[dmshaposv]

Out of all the films I've seen, I'm also backing J.K. Simmons Best Supporting actor win the most. It was a perfect role for such a character actor.

I also would like some recognition in the director category for Damien Chazelle for Whiplash who did a fucking fantastic job. Imitation Game was such a zzzzz movie, despite the fact Cumberbatch brought his A game and Alan Turing's story is amazing, but the film was so blasé in its direction that they should not have Mortem whathisname on the list.

[BowieZ]

So awesome that things like costume and score get announced right before screenplay and picture.

I remember a good 10 years ago when Best Original Score was like the third or fourth last award at the actual ceremony. (I think it was when Williams' "Memoirs of a Geisha" lost to Santaolalla's "Brokeback Mountain" despite having won every music award earlier that season.)

 

[Choomp]

Yay. I wish I had time to make predictions man, but this'll be fun anyway.

 

[one_kill]

I was about to sleep, but I'll watch this first before heading to bed

 

[Wilbur]

Can't watch this but will be following.

 

[lednerg]

[Ridley327]

Lego Movie not nominated for Best Animated Feature

I can't imagine a bigger snub than this from any other category. I am stunned.

 

[one_kill]

Anyway, 3 minutes til the next batch of nominations

 

[Diprosalic]

Lego should not have a chance against Kaguya anyway.

[Hamlet]

Nice The Tale of the Princess Kaguya got nominated. Really surprised The Lego Movie didn't make in there though.

 

[DieH@rd]

I cheered a bit when Transformers 4 did not get nomination for best visual effects!

3 superhero movies got nominations for VFX.

 

[Aiii]

Lego movie was fine, but did it really deserve an Oscar nod? I'm not so sure guys, sorry.

 

[thenight11]

Lego should not have a chance against Kaguya anyway.

It not even being nominated is the head scratcher.

 

[thenexus6]

I want Princess Kaguya, but I feel How to Train Your Dragon will.

 

[Diprosalic]

It not even being nominated is the head scratcher.

it wasn't that good.

[kmax]

J.K Simmons got the academy on a lock.

 

[lazybones18]

Meryl gets another nod

 

[Linius]

But for the win I was backing Kaguya anyways.
