  1. I'd love it if DiCaprio lost, just because of what the reaction would be. Hell, give it to Redmayne or Cranston. I wanna watch the internet burn.
  2. Both of those are excellent, they just don't bring unneeded attention to themselves. (Cinematography comes close though, see all the shots with the church in the background or the ridiculously unsubtle wide shot with the AOL sign).
  3. Good seeing The Witch with a possible sub-50% weekend drop. It won't overtake Ex Machina among A24 releases, but a $21-23m finish would be a very good result.
  4. They could stop tracking Spectre now and then BOM will quietly update it a month or two later with a new total just over $200m. I've seen them do it with a lot of Universal releases, although those just stop tracking while in 100+ theaters. Or they could wait until Grimsby and then fudge it just enough.
  5. Casey Affleck - Manchester By The Sea Christian Bale/Oscar Isaac - The Promise Andrew Garfield - Silence Michael Keaton - The Founder Nate Parker - The Birth of a Nation some alternates Warren Beatty - untitled Howard Hughes Joel Edgerton - Loving Ryan Gosling - La La Land Michael Fassbender - The Light Between Oceans David Oyelowo - A United Kingdom Brad Pitt - War Machine
  6. Affleck, Parker and Garfield seem like good possibilities, especially the first two since they already got a lot of praise. I think Hanks will miss out as is usual for him these days.
  7. The Little Prince is 1/3 stop-motion at the most, the rest is CGI. It's quite good though, so I could see it getting a nom.
  8. Looks to me like it might easily tip over into contrived/melodramatic territory but I'm hoping that's just the trailer and Cianfrance will find the right balance in the finished film. I really like everyone involved so I'm looking forward to it, anyway.
  9. I'd think a decent expansion could get it to $10m or so. Kung Fu Hustle made $17m a decade ago.
  10. And the entire forum will pull a Nolan and suddenly stop talking to you
  11. That's just because you're already brainwashed by teh man-hating feminist propaganda
  12. Prisoners is very well-directed though. Its faults mainly lie in the screenplay. Enemy and Sicario don't have that problem so they're firing on all cylinders.
  13. I'm kinda bewildered that people not only consider Inside Out a comedy but think it's better at comedy than any other film last year.
  14. I was lukewarm on Crimson Peak but its costumes and art direction were a feast for the eyes if I ever saw one. Glad to see it picked up at least one of those.
  15. Actually this would give Sony a good chance to do what MGM did with Bond numbers back in the '90s, have it finish its run with $200,007,007 or something.
  16. It'll be over $199.8m this weekend, probably over $199.9m the next. It'll get there, should end up below Superman Returns' $200.081m though
  17. Looking at the supporting actor nominees in 2013 and lead actor nominees this year, Fassbender was easily the best among them both times. Can't wait for them to give him his own overdue Oscar in a year where he's like the 3rd or 4th most deserving nominee.
