  1. Alright, come on now. There are great performances, there are Phoenix-level performances, there are DDL-level performances, and then there is Denis Lavant in Holy Motors. Get some balls and give the man some fucking awards.
  2. I can't call myself a big supporter of either Riva or Amour, but even I won't deny she has a perfectly fair chance to be nominated. Hell, at this point, the only two contenders with a noticeably better chance to get in than her are Chastain and Lawrence (who, by the way, hasn't won a single award for her performance yet), and then she basically has as much of a chance as Cotillard, Wallis, Watts and Weisz. Arguably even a better chance than the last two. What would make someone run around trying to prove she's a non-lock (and nobody ever claimed she's locked) I have no idea.
  3. Good to see Moonrise tying for 2nd place for Cinematography. It deserves it completely
  4. Gitesh Pandya ‏@giteshpandya WKND BO: #Skyfall $11M/$261.6M, Guardians $10.5M/$61.9M, Twilight $9.2M/$268.7M, Lincoln $9.1M/$97.3M, Pi $8.3M/$60.9M.
  5. Gitesh Pandya ‏@giteshpandya #Skyfall now bigger than DarkKnightRises at Intl BO w/ $656.6M. $918.2M global, Sony's top grosser ever beating Spidey3.
  6. Definitely. It's now ahead of New Moon by over $1m when it was behind it by $700k last weekend.
  7. Well, it doesn't happen that often, and I personally loved watching HTTYD run. Also, someone has already asked this question a day or two ago.
  8. Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice With all films in release totaling just $78M at the box office, this weekend's grosses are the 2nd lowest of 2012
  9. Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice TWILIGHT: BDp2 faded from the top spot w/ $9.2M this weekend. Total cume is now $268M. So it's slightly ahead of Lincoln and I'm guessing ROTG is #2.
  10. Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice Despite soccer moms, Groupons, & a B+ from CinemaScore, FilmDistrict's PLAYING FOR KEEPS opened w/ just $6M.
  11. Gitesh Pandya ‏@giteshpandya #Skyfall reclaims #1 spot in its 5th wknd at US box office w/ $11M & $261.6M cume. Global haul now over $900M.
  12. An easy candidate for the best film score in the worst possible movie. Or the worst movie that has a best possible score.
  13. It would definitely have had an American Gangster/Safe House type of run if it had opened in 3000-3200 theaters.
  14. Wasn't it playing in 2600 theaters for the past three weeks? Seems like as good an expansion as was needed after a start in 1900.
  15. Don't think so unless it's nominated for BP. Otherwise it should land near $95m.
  16. I think it's ZDT, Django, Moonrise, The Master and either Looper or Amour for the last slot.
  17. Wait, Waltz is supporting now? Having Di Caprio and Jackson there wasn't enough?
  18. I like those guys. Skyfall for cinematography, The Master for score, Moonrise for ensemble, Cloud Atlas and Holy Motors in the top 10. On a side note, Lawrence really needs to start winning some awards already. Not that I'm rooting against Chastain (I just hope her character in ZDT is substantial enough), I'd just like to see something of a race here.
  19. David Lean was the last director to win BP and BD two times in a row, for Bridge on the River Kwai in 1957 and Lawrence of Arabia in 1962.But, Joseph L. Mankiewicz managed to win BD in both 1949 and 1950, with the latter of the films (All About Eve) also taking BP.
  20. Lord of the Rings.If a more down-to-earth one, then Five Easy Pieces or The Shining
