[Heart Attack]

is Amour really that good? or is it the hip choice like the artist was last year?

 

[Guzim]

So who has the most noms? I know SLP has 8, but thats probably not the highest.

Solo, tell SLP to play in a theater near me!

 

[ColR100]

What are the chances that either SLP or Amour could win 'Best Picture'?

Or is it a lock between Lincoln and Les Miserables?

 

[gdt]

Hot damn SLP is killing it. I just saw it yesterday and it totally deserves it.

 

[Solo]

Solo, tell SLP to play in a theater near me!

Done!

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Prometheus got a nom!

 

[tino]

Moonrise Kingdom waz robbed.

 

[lazybones18]

What are the chances that either SLP or Amour could win 'Best Picture'?

Or is it a lock between Lincoln and Les Miserables?

It's Lincoln vs ZDT

 

[Merino]

So who has the most noms? I know SLP has 8, but thats probably not the highest.

Lincoln: 12
Life of Pi: 11
Silver Linings Playbook: 8
Les Miserables: 8
Argo: 7
Amour: 5
Zero Dark Thirty: 5
Django Unchained: 5
Beasts of the Southern Wild: 4

 

[xenist]

TDKR worst movie of 2012 confirmed.

Amour is a lock for foreign, so zero chance for Best Picture.

I think this year is wide open.

 

[Row]

Wow, the Hobbit was really snubbed too.

might not have been eligible this year

 

[kiryogi]

Loving the Lincoln landslide.

 

[smr00]

No nod for Jason Clarke as best supporting in Zero Dark? Fuck the oscars.

 

[Fox318]

Go Les Mis

 

[Koodo]

Dat Adele...

Effortless.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Lincoln: 12
Life of Pi: 11
Silver Linings Playbook: 8
Les Miserables: 8
Argo: 7
Amour: 5
Zero Dark Thirty: 5
Django Unchained: 5
Beasts of the Southern Wild: 4

Skyfall has five noms.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Lincoln: 12
Life of Pi: 11
Silver Linings Playbook: 8
Les Miserables: 8
Argo: 7
Amour: 5
Zero Dark Thirty: 5
Django Unchained: 5
Beasts of the Southern Wild: 4

Does that mean either Lincoln or SLP will win? So few for Django and ZDT (neither are up for director either).

 

[The Elite]

might not have been eligible this year

I'm pretty sure it was. It has a nom.

 

[Solo]

Lincoln: 12
Life of Pi: 11
Silver Linings Playbook: 8
Les Miserables: 8
Argo: 7
Amour: 5
Zero Dark Thirty: 5
Django Unchained: 5
Beasts of the Southern Wild: 4

You forgot Skyfall: 5.

 

[Diprosalic]

Last year actually had two foreign nominees, Chico and Rita and A Cat In Paris in what was also a weak field.

By the way, what are your specific thoughts on those animated nominees?

i liked them a whole lot more than any of the 5 this year. From Up on Poppy Hill (if eligible), while one of the weaker ghiblis, is also better than all of them. and Spirited Away actually won a couple of years back.

 

[Cheebo]

It's Lincoln vs ZDT

ZDT is out. Underwhelming nomination count. No director killed it.

It's Lincoln vs. Silver Lining Playbook

 

[Dabanton]

is Amour really that good? or is it the hip choice like the artist was last year?

I wouldn't say "hip" but I'd say it was the easy foreign choice.

I found it a bit overlong tbh.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Searching for Sugar Man got this

 

[xenist]

might not have been eligible this year

I liked it but it really didn't deserve anything above the usual technical awards.

 

[Mindwipe]

Glad Silver Linings got a good showing.

But no The Master for best picture? WTF? No Tarantino or DiCaprio?

 

[lazybones18]

might not have been eligible this year

It got three nominations

ZDT is out. Underwhelming nomination count. No director killed it.

It's Lincoln vs. Silver Lining Playbook

Works for me. Go SLP!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Wow, the Hobbit was really snubbed too.

Visual Effects
Makeup
Production Design

What else were you expecting?

 

[teruterubozu]

As if Nolan and the Wachowskis never existed. LOL

 

[Cheebo]

Glad Silver Linings got a good showing.

But no The Master for best picture? WTF? No Tarantino or DiCaprio?

Nobody in the oscar blog scene thought master had a chance for best picture really, not a surprise it didn't get nominated

 

[qindarka]

11 years actually. Poppy Hill was fine but probably didn't deserve a nomination either.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

I liked it fine but it's Aardman's worst film yet and doesn't deserve anything.

Poppycock!

 

[grandjedi6]

BEST DIRECTOR
David O. Russell, “Silver Linings Playbook”
Behn Zeitlin, "Beast of the Southern Wild"
Michael Haneke, “Amour”
Ang Lee, “Life of Pi”
Steven Spielberg, “Lincoln”

So Best Picture is down to those 5, huh? Can't complain

 

[Takamura-San]

might not have been eligible this year

Hobbit has 3 noms.

 

[Addi]

I just realized I haven't seen any of the movies nominated for best picture, ha! I got some watching to do!

 

[Solo]

Would be amazing if SLP wins.

 

[Talon]

Ben: "Argo fuck yourself, Academy."

 

[hoos30]

Since Leo and Sam Jackson didn't get a nom, I hope that the other guys in that category were truly outstanding.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

It's Lincoln vs ZDT

No Bigelow nom means Lincoln vs. SLP.

I can't wrap my head around no Affleck for director.

[ColR100]

Amour is a lock for foreign, so zero chance for Best Picture.

I think this year is wide open.

Looks that way going by history and how Life Is Beautiful faired in 1998.


Here are the odds on Best Picture win:-


BEST PICTURE ODDS

Lincoln - 1/2
Les Miserables - 4/1
Zero Dark Thirty - 5/1
Argo - 7/1
Silver Linings Playbook - 28/1
Life of Pi - 33/1
Amour - 50/1
Beasts of the Southern Wild - 100/1
Django Unchained - 100/1


Highlighting SLP purely on what price it is there. Shouldn't be anywhere near that big.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Give Aardman the Oscar, please, they can never have enough.

 

[Solo]

What an amazing upswing for Bradley Cooper. From a supporting role on Alias to the douche in Wedding Crashers to The Hangover to a Best Actor nom. Love this guy!

 

[qindarka]

Give Aardman the Oscar, please, they can never have enough.

Give it to them when they deserve it, not this year. In 2005, yes. In 2011 too though Arthur Christmas wasn't even nominated then.

 

[blainethemono]

Bradley Cooper, “Silver Linings Playbook”

I don't remember them announcing this on the stream, is this actually accurate?

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Now wait, what is this SLP slayage. Let me watch that movie, if only to gaze at Bradley Cooper's scruffy face.

Same, but with Jennifer Lawrence's beautiful one. Though I'm legitimately interested in the story as well, not just the eye candy.

 

[BowieZ]

I don't remember them announcing this on the stream, is this actually accurate?

No. There's an error-filled list going around courtesy of Yahoo.

 

[Fox318]

Hugh Jackman should win best actor.

 

[DjRoomba]

Since Leo and Sam Jackson didn't get a nom, I hope that the other guys in that category were truly outstanding.

Agreed.
Call me crazy, but Wreck it Ralph should be in best picture noms too, not just cos were here on a game forum neither. If TS3 (overrated sappy garbage) got it, WIR sure should have.

 

[xenist]

Since Leo and Sam Jackson didn't get a nom, I hope that the other guys in that category were truly outstanding.

Tommy Lee Jones was wonderful. Having not seen Django or Argo yet he's my favorite. You can't give someone like him a script with the kind of glorious insults that Kushner's script has and not have him knock it out of the park.
