It's probably be a patriotic Lincoln sweep. "An American Classic" and all that.

 

[fuenf]

Hope Haneke wins this. Amour best movie, Emmanuelle Riva best actress and best original screenplay.

they might as well shut down the Academy.

 

[bomma_man]

I haven't even seen it but I hope Amour wins everything.

 

[jett]

Give all the awards to Life of Pi.

It's probably be a patriotic Lincoln sweep. "An American Classic" and all that.

Also the fact that it's a great fucking movie.

 

[ColR100]

Give all the awards to Life of Pi.

That's a perfect scenario.

 

[Takamura-San]

Truly surprised by no Bigelow for director and the inclusion of Joaquin in best actor. That hurts ZD30's chance at best picture and all the thing J. said didn't end up hurting him. He still received a nomitayion for his performance, which I've heard is very good in The Master.

They still own him for Gladiator... Biggest Oscar Snub.

 

[jett]

Also the fact that it's a great fucking movie.

No it's not. But it's pretty decent.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Wow, that Bigelow/Hooper/Affleck snub

Spielberg got this shit on lock

 

[Eidan]

What are the odds of a Quvenzhane Wallis upset?

 

[Aselith]

Sally Fields was fucking AWFUL in Lincoln. They must be trolling. Good to see Life of Pi get a lot of recognition. I feel like Dredd should gotten nominated for best sound editing/ mixing though.

 

[Pooya]

Anne Hathaway has a good chance at winning me think.

 

[Takamura-San]

What are the odds of a Quvenzhane Wallis upset?

That would break Anna Paquin's record right?

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Wow, that Bigelow/Hooper/Affleck/QT snub

Spielberg got this shit on lock

Fixed. I didn't think they'd all be ignored.

 

[Aselith]

Anne Hathaway has a good chance at winning me think.

Yeah, she acted her ass off. If she doesn't win, she got robbed.

 

[sangreal]

Guess I really need to see SLP. I feel django actors, especially SLJ got a bit robbed

 

[grandjedi6]

Except Les Mis isn't really a contender at all. It's Lincoln, SLP, and Life of Pi. Movies like Les Mis always get lots of tech nominations but the lack of best director shows Les Mis support is pretty minimal for the the big catgories, it's a non-factor in the best picture race.

SLP and Pi are up there but this is Lincoln's race to lose.

I can see SLP pulling it off if only because Russell was passed over the last few times.

What are the odds of a Quvenzhane Wallis upset?

Low. She's the very candidate that the academy awards love but she's so young and has only been in one movie.

 

[Eidan]

That would break Anna Paquin's record right?

Yep.

 

[MeBecomingI]

How in the hell did Wally Pfister not get a nomination for Best Cinematography for The Dark Knight Rises? Say what you will about the film if you hated it or whatever, but the camera work in that film was incredible. Couple that with Ben Affleck not getting nominated for Best Director? Pathetic! I feel the Academy is usually a joke anyway, but those two really piss me off. I don't necessarily hate the nominations throughout, but those two just annoy me.

Seeing Bradley Cooper nominated for Best Actor is straight up bizarre. Awesome, but bizarre.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Silver Linings Playbook is the first film to get a nomination in all 4 acting categories in decades.

 

[Oersted]

Hope Haneke wins this. Amour best movie, Emmanuelle Riva best actress and best original screenplay.

Second that.

 

[Can Crusher]

No clear winner this year. Those movies are all around the same ball park of quality.

 

[grandjedi6]

That would break Anna Paquin's record right?

What record? She never had a record. Tatum O'Neal was always younger, wasn't she?

 

[Szu]

Battle for Best Actress between the youngest nominee ever vs the oldest nominee ever.

It's going to be a real barn burner.

 

[UberTag]

The Best Director category is like one colossal snub.
Everyone's reaction to it has been, "Oh there's Spielberg and... OMG where the hell is everyone else?!?"

 

[jett]

Silver Linings Playbook is the first film to get a nomination in all 4 acting categories in decades.

And it will win none of them.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Ang Lee is the only guy to get nominated by the BAFTAS, GG, Oscars, and DGAs...

 

[DerZuhälter]

The Oscars are just as useless as the Grammys. Get over it.

 

[RichardAM]

Genuinely thought Skyfall may have gotten something. I think Lincoln and Les Mis are the two big contenders. It's a great line up for Best Picture all the same though.

Silver Linings Playbook is the first film to get a nomination in all 4 acting categories in decades.

It's got a good cast. Certainly I don't think either Cooper or Lawrence are the *best actor* but they were both really good throughout I thought.

 

[Can Crusher]

Any reason why Katherin Bigelow isn't nominated when she has already won one or two awards....?

Weird snub.

 

[grandjedi6]

Weird snub.

The academy doesn't like rewarding "repeat performances" as it were.

 

[jett]

Ang Lee is the only guy to get nominated by the BAFTAS, GG, Oscars, and DGAs...

Like I said, Life of Pi deserves everything it was nominated for.

 

[Jimothy]

Yet they nominate Waltz instead of Leo or SLJ. Cunts.

 

[jett]

Yet they nominate Waltz. Cunts.

wut. Waltz is very different in Django.

 

[arts&crafts]

Yet they nominate Waltz instead of Leo or SLJ. Cunts.

Waltz was awesome.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Oh right, no Leo. Keep holding dem Ls, son

 

[Can Crusher]

The academy doesn't like rewarding "repeat performances" as it were.

Repeat performances? And others aren't?

I hope Ang Less wins it anyway.

wut. Waltz is very different in Django.

Leo and SLJ were the highlights of the movie in any case imo

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Also the fact that it's a great fucking movie.

Amen. Fuck the haters.

 

[airmangataosenai]

Cloud Atlas has got this.

You jinxed it.

 

[Jimothy]

Waltz was awesome.

Not discounting his performance at all. Leo and SLJ were simply more deserving, and Waltz is a recent winner of the same award so his nom is already void.

 

[grandjedi6]

Silver Linings Playbook is the first film to get a nomination in all 4 acting categories in decades.

Interesting, but doesn't mean much. Lincoln and Life of Pi don't even have females to be nominated in Best Actress.

 

[jett]

Cloud Atlas should've got a nom for best score. I imagine the movie wasn't put in consideration for noms at all.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Hope Haneke wins this. Amour best movie, Emmanuelle Riva best actress.

If things were fair in the world.

The Oscars are just as useless as the Grammys. Get over it.

When have they not being?

 

[Jimothy]

Cloud Atlas should've got a nom for best score. I imagine the movie wasn't put in consideration for noms at all.

Best Editing, too.

 

[Eidan]

Silver Linings Playbook is the first film to get a nomination in all 4 acting categories in decades.

Damn, seems like you're right. I've seen a lot of movies come close (Million Dollar Baby, Chicago, Adaptation, The Hours, and In the Bedroom), but none hit all four.

 

[jett]

Best Editing, too.

I don't know. I was kind of disappointed that the Wachowskis didn't push the envelope there like they did on Speed Racer.

 

[DMczaf]

Our war ended with us both having nothing.

It's time to put our differences aside.
