I like how you could read that as meaning they are no longer around because they thought it looked stupid. -
It's very likely to receive a Best Picture nom, Jonze could get in for Director, and it seems like the actual Original Screenplay Oscar is gonna be between it and American Hustle.
-
And an Edgar Wright film is gonna get shamefully snubbed... once again. http://www.avclub.com/article/editing-is-key-to-the-drama-and-comedy-of-the-worl-200786

Hm. So if what I posted was neither PG-13 nor pornographic and there was a warning but it wasn't in the topic title or description... anyway, I removed it, at least for now.

I think I'll give in and watch the WOWS screener, and I'll be sure to watch Short Term 12 in the next couple of days. Might still send my ballot without seeing American Hustle, Her, Inside Llewyn Davis, Blue is the Warmest Color and Dallas Buyers Club, though.

I'm gonna guess that wasn't a problem back in the day when they nominated Redford, Costner and Gibson (who all went on to actually win afterwards).
-
And Inside Llewyn Davis misses here as well.

A great film Walter Hill has directed is The Driver (sadly, it's pretty much the only one of his I've seen). Great little piece of minimalistic neo-noir with a stoic Ryan O'Neal, an unhinged Bruce Dern, a very young and very beautiful Isabelle Adjani and a shitton of atmosphere (dat LA at nighttime). Required viewing for everyone who loves Refn's Drive.
-
So they aren't fans of Dallas Buyers Club, that much is obvious. Shame to see Redford snubbed here too, and it's extremely weird that Damon gets nominated for Behind the Candelabra while Douglas doesn't, no matter how crowded the lead actor category may be.
-
Kubrick is my #1 but QT is right behind for sure. Not sure who my #3 is yet. Probably either Leone or Polanski.
-
Not sure even that would've sufficed in a year as strong as this. Look at Elizabeth Olsen in 2011. If Winter's Bone had been released in 2013 with Lawrence being an unknown, I don't think she'd have gotten in either.
-
Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist are both wonderful
-
The Past is average at best and is vastly inferior to A Separation.

Film Critics Awards 2013 (Winners in 1st post - I'm bored...)
Jake Gittes replied to CoolioD1's topic in And The Winner Is...
Is she really the frontrunner? She has won about twice less awards than Nyong'o so far, and her win last year should only take away from her chances. She's clearly #2, but only because the rest of the field is so weak. -
I've never even seen a Peckinpah (I know, I know) and I had the same reaction

Film Critics Awards 2013 (Winners in 1st post - I'm bored...)
Jake Gittes replied to CoolioD1's topic in And The Winner Is...
Should be noted that the NSFC Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Oscar in the same category only went to the same person 9 times in the past 47 years; and only once in this century. -
How can you not love those people that think if they didn't enjoy a classic movie then all those who did just willingly deluded themselves. It's almost adorable.
-
I hope Downton Abbey is nowhere near the final nominations.
-
Alright. I'll send a list by the 15th or so then. Seen 36 BP winners, might as well catch a couple more.
-
Also, is there a deadline on this?
