With a capital f, for fine.I don't think she will win, but damn she was fine in that movie.

Based on the scores and critics' awards thus far, the darling is ZDT but that doesn't seem to matter at all for the Oscars.which movie is the critic's darling this year? ZDT or Lincoln? Amour?

Politics has made Lincoln the runaway favorite... and unless things change over the next few weeks, it will clean up.
I enjoyed Brave a lot more than I expected to but it being widely perceived as a "lesser" Pixar film means it won't take home the prize.I would love to see Wreck It Ralph or ParaNorman win for best Animated Feature. Although I wouldn't mind Brave winning it. I still need to see Pirates and Frankenweenie.

I've yet to meet anyone who's heard of Beasts of the Southern Wild
Being a critical darling (even if you're not an Academy favorite) doesn't necessarily translate into universal praise from moviegoers.haven't seen ZDT yet (it's not out here) but I've been reading the some of the impressions here and on other boards and while the movie seems to be generally well-like, it certainly does not get the reaction I expected from a 93% RT and 95/100 MC movie. Is it just undeserved backlash because of the overwhelmingly positive critical reception?
Tarantino has a legitimate shot to win another screenplay Oscar.ZDT's the only front runner I really want to see, that and maybe Argo.
I'd love for Django to win but that's about as likely as Tarantino getting a best director nod.

Amour and Flight aren't really contenders. And Boal won for Hurt Locker just a few years ago.
That pretty much makes it a two-horse race between Django and Moonrise Kingdom. And Quentin's been winning the more high profile contests between those two films.
Finally saw Beasts of the Southern Wild.
It's a pretty, confused little flower of a movie, isn't it? Amazingly beautiful, even touching at times, but mostly just a jumbled, chaotic mess.
Argo is clearly the frontrunner now. There's no stopping it now.
Unlikely without a Best Director nomination.
As a film ever won best picture without a best director nomination?
Argo is Hollywood self congratulatory bullshit.
Argo really wasn't that great... surprised it's winning all these best picture awards.
meh
I really enjoyed Argo. Actually, I've enjoyed all the Best Picture nominees I've seen so far (Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Life of Pi and Silver Linings Playbook). Hoping to see Lincoln tomorrow.
Chastain's gonna lose Best Actress, isn't she? :/
Academy gonna knife Spielberg '98 style?
The director category is definitely the most unpredictable now; it's probably not going to become any clearer either, since Affleck could easily take the DGA and BAFTA.Academy gonna knife Spielberg '98 style?
It depends on the BAFTAs. In the last 10 years, the 4 times the SAG best actress winner lost the oscar, the BAFTA winner got it. The BAFTAs showed a lot more love for ZDT in their nominations, so it's still wide open.Chastain's gonna lose Best Actress, isn't she? :/
Emmanuelle Riva deserve to win IMOChastain's gonna lose Best Actress, isn't she? :/
Emmanuelle Riva deserve to win IMO
What is it with the Academy and Harvey Weinstein? I don't really know the story there, I know some see him as a villain. lol
How is this movie ?
How come Jennifer Lawrence gets more attractive every time I see her?
Seen none of those, damn.Best Picture
Amour
Argo
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Django Unchained
Les Miserables
Life of Pi
Lincoln
Silver Linings Playbook
Zero Dark Thirty
Chastain's gonna lose Best Actress, isn't she? :/
Hopefully. She did absolutely nothing of interest in that movie.
How is this movie ?
Dude is a marketing force like no other and represents what is wrong with a lot of these ceremonies. It isn't about which is the best whatever of the year, it's which has had the most aggressive/expensive marketing campaign - which Harvey Weinstein is the absolutely sultan of. The dude earns every award he gets - because any filmmaker would be lucky to have a producer with the sway and understanding of Weinstein promoting and supporting their film.
absolutely didn't enjoy it, which means you and most other people will probably love it
going to see either Lincoln (original version) or Zero Dark Thirty (dubbed) tonight. Watched Heart Locker last week and quite liked it actually. Which one should I pick first?
