Essay21 2,385 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I hope they give it to Grand Budapest Hotel. Also, i havent seen Boyhood, do ill ask, is it a great movie or are we just rewarding the idea of filming it over 12 years? Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm full out in Birdman mode. I suspect that Keaton and Screen writing will be the only nods it gets, but I really, really want it to get directed. It would be a slam-dunk almost any year, but the novelty of Boyhood will create a lot of buzz. A lot of anger on twitter about the lack of PoC and Women in the big categories. I haven't seen Selma yet, so I can't comment on the injustice of any of it, but i will say it is a loaded year 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Its annoying to me that people cry racism after oscar noms? Like seriosuly, must everything be about the white man oprressing everyone? Can Selma not be nominated for a lot of awards because it just didn't deserve it? Is that not possible? Just playing martin luther king jr in a movie doesn't mean your denzel in training day, with some transcedent performance. Boo hoo, all the actor noms were white people. Cry me a fckin river.

king_tanner 84 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think the most overrated film getting nominated is Foxcatcher. I thought it was good, but not in the same league as the other movies getting nominated. I'm really confused as to why Mark Ruffalo is getting so many accolades for his part. He really wasn't in that much of the movie and nothing stuck out to me as award winning acting. I think Selma should have taken the place of all Foxcatcher's noms. Selma was very good. Birdman and Whiplash were by far my favorite movies of the year, and I just saw American Sniper and it ranks up there. I'm happy to see it got nominations The only thing I haven't seen yet is Boyhood. People either love it or say it's boring. I have a hard time getting excited for a movie with a long running time when people are saying it is boring. I'll get around to it eventually. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The biggest travesty is Lego movie not getting nominated. I haven't even seen it put people seem to be freaking out over it getting snubbed. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Inherent Vice is pretty easily the best 2014 movie I've seen. I haven't seen a lot of the nominated movies, but it's lame that PT didn't get more love for it from the academy. He did write the screenplay and is nominated for adapted screenplay but probably won't win, and that's its only nomination other than costume design. It was leaps and bounds better than The Imitation Game, which is nominated in most of the major categories but which I thought was pretty disappointing. I love me some Cumberbatch but the film just wasn't great. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think the most overrated film getting nominated is Foxcatcher. I'm going to have to agree. It was completely unpleasant. The acting was fine, I just don't understand why this got made into a movie Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen Birdman yet but I've been looking forward to it. Now I'm a bit more excited. Inherent Vice still got a heavy snub though. It easily could (should) have been nominated for best picture, since they enlarged that category and it can now include up to 10 nominees. Shoulda been nominated for director too, certainly over The Imitation Game. "Fun" Fact: PT Anderson has never won an Oscar. Really. - He was nominated for original screenplay for Boogie Nights but lost to Good Will Hunting. - He was nominated for original screenplay for Magnolia but lost to American Beauty (he was also up against Being John Malkovich). - He was nominated for adapted screenplay, directing, and best picture for There Will Be Blood but lost to No Country For Old Men in all 3 categories.

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 boogie nights should have swept every category. i don't even need to see what it was up against. edit: damn it was up against good will hunting. so maybe not a landslide, but still should have won. titanic is a joke.

BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Boogie nights isn't the type of movie that wins the oscars. It's greatness and creativity have nothing to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Inarritu winning best director was the only category I had any sort of emotional investment in. I'm disappointed Keaton didn't win but hey, the Academy loves cripple exploitation movies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
