[Bobby Roberts]

I don't see Boyhood winning. I can't imagine a Best Picture that goes home with that and Best Supporting Actress... and nothing else.

is that even a thing that's happened before?

It's got best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Director. It's gonna get Best Picture.

 

[jett]

Why is that?

I thought JC had only won two for Titanic, but apparently he won three, so nevermind.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Selma snubbed for Actor and Director nominations, gonna win Best Picture to make up for it. Upsetting Birdman and Boyhood

oscar storylines!

And summoning the fire of the right-wing pundits tomorrow.

 

[wedward]

It is weird how people let their opinion of a movie be changed by awards season.

 

[Cormano]

Man, I really didn't like Birdman, hope it doesn't get BP

Not my favorite either, but I loved the fact that it seemed like a "one take" picture.

 

[AlfredX1990]

I wish Grand Budapest was getting hate. Wes Anderson makes shit movies and it doesn't deserve any of the 4 awards it's won so far.

There's 2 of us, TWO!!!

 

[?oe?oe]

Boyhood was fucking robbed.

It deserves a nomination. Nothing more.

 

[LuuKyK]

Boyhood was a great experiment, not an Oscar winning film.

Thats how I feel too.

 

[Hours Left]

That McDonalds commercial. XD

 

[OricWindstar]

C'mon Keaton. I need your epic speech to happen.

 

[dallow_bg]

Damn. A McDonald's commercial got me.

 

[GavinUK86]

she is so beautiful

 

[injurai]

Can't wait.

hell ya

 

[Linkyn]

I can live with either Redmayne or Keaton.

 

[Monocle]

I wish Grand Budapest was getting hate. Wes Anderson makes shit movies and it doesn't deserve any of the 4 awards it's won so far.

Bullshit. Best movie of the year, no contest.

 

[Cagey]

The day a superhero film wins best picture?

What a beautiful thing it would be, too. A superhero movie taking a massive dump on every superhero movie and how awful they all are is showered with accolades.

In a just world, this will happen.

 

[Finalow]

HNNNNNG!

she's not even an 8

 

[Toad.T]

Did they just play a Toy Story 2 song, or am I going even more insane?

 

[arts&crafts]

It's gonna be Sniper for Best Pic.

Oscar voters always have an agenda. If you think Birdman had the best cinematography, best script and best director why give it to a movie that has minimal awards. (Happens every year)

 

[Kobe24]

MICHAEL KEATON OR I GO NUTS

 

[Kacar]

HNNNNNG!

hmmm for Norton, I think Emma's face looks pretty rigid in this. Kinda weird.

 

[vinnygambini]

I love Cate Blanchett

 

[A_Gorilla]

Was Boyhood a bad movie or something? Cause I heard it was really good.

Critics kept creaming themselves over "ZOMG took 12 years to make!"

Put that aside, and the film's just okay.

 

[bgbball31]

Alright, Eddie. I have a bet riding on you.

I'm terrified I'll lose because of the Birdman hype train.

 

[Schrade]

WTF Cate... her hair looks horrible.

 

[RusselUp]

Still calling Keaton for Actor here.

 

[Salsa]

that fucking kid better not get it


KEATON

 

[nin1000]

Go Michael

 

[UrbanDandy]

carrell for best actor

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I don't see Boyhood winning. I can't imagine a Best Picture that goes home with that and Best Supporting Actress... and nothing else.

is that even a thing that's happened before?

In early Oscars it did. one only took 1

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

is that the guy from the office?

 

[Hamlet]

Come on Michael Keaton

 

[Eggbok]

this will be good

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I will fight anyone who badmouths Wes Anderson

Also lol "Golden Eagle"

 

[wedward]

It was good if you're a psuedo-intellectual blowhard.

This is without a doubt the dumbest thing said in this thread tonight.

There is nothing intellectual about that film at all. Has anyone ever argued otherwise?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

I would be okay if Cooper takes this.

 

[Slurmer]

Michael Scott got this

 

[Bobby Roberts]

If Keaton gets this (and he probably will) Birdman for Best Picture is done deal.

 

[rude]

Redmayne is trash. Hope batman wins.

 

[Good Job Bob]

It was good if you're a psuedo-intellectual blowhard.

K.

 

[BigJonsson]

I hope Rocket Raccoon or Smaug or Batman win this

 

[DrForester]

It took Richard Linklater 12 years to make a movie that would not get him a Best Director award.

 

[Dr.Acula]

"That's my plastic doll daughter! Hey!"

 

[TheJoRu]

Did they just play a Toy Story 2 song, or am I going even more insane?

They did, and it was beautiful.

 

[jett]

QUEEN CATE

You plebs can't even.

 

[zeemumu]

Lady Gaga looks beautiful when she's not covered in Kermit the frog or meat.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Keaton as expected

 

[Panzon]

GAF meltdown in 3...2...1...

 

[plasmawave]

If Keaton gets it the prophecy will be complete.

 

[RusselUp]

so it was like a paid beta or something?

Sorta. Just quoting the Wiki page as it's a better description:

"Originally conceived in the form of an 85-page screenplay, Whiplash came to prominence after being featured in the 2012 Black List that includes the top motion picture screenplays not yet produced.] Right of Way Films and Blumhouse Productions produced, and in order to secure financing for the feature, helped Chazelle turn 15 pages of his original screenplay into a short film starring Johnny Simmons in the role of the drummer and J. K. Simmons in the role of the teacher. The 18-minute short film went on to receive much acclaim after screening at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, which ultimately attracted investors to sign on and produce the complete version of the script..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiplash_%282014_film%29
