I legitimately can say I never liked a single Keaton performance before Birdman (loathe him as Bats). And even Birdman's I think has been overrated, though good for sure.

I'm hoping that The Two Towers and Return of the King will be left off this list since Baumer recently admitted that they're good films and upped his ratings of them to 8/10. You have seen the light of Gandalf the White and been cleansed for those sins, right Baumer? Or is Sauron's corruption still flowing through your veins? Hmm.

It's locked for a BP nom. In fact it may end up joining or even knocking out Birdman as the real threat to Boyhood at the rate it's going this awards season.

Well if we're talking unique acclaimed movies, then I'm rooting for GBH. Anderson is even more overlooked than Linklater has been and his style of film-making is very much his own.

Well then by that logic Transformers: Age of Extinction would be a great BP winner too. Can't get much more "unique" for BP than a third sequel in a panned blockbuster Michael Bay action franchise.

Anyone else think the Supp Actress category could be an entire surprise for the Oscars excluding Arquette of course? I could legitimately see 4 completely different actresses getting in over the 4 expected. No one seems to have much of any momentum for a "locked" nomination outside of Arquette.

If rather see Eddie win the Oscar over Keaton. Even though the race should actually be between Gyllenhaal and Oyelowo. Crazy strong year for lead actors though.

I fucking hate how they let the tv awards take their sweet ass time and now we have to rush the ones 95% people watching actually care about.

My favorite movie of the year actually won a big award for once!

OMFG YESSSSS!!!!!!

I like it but I still hold no one would have made a big fuss over the exact same movie but using a different actor for the boy instead of the 12 year deal. But its a good movie.

I like Linklater so good to see him recognized. I think it should have been for The Before trilogy over this but whatever.

That was mercifully succinct. And well done.

Seeing that montage, it's amazing how few big hit movies he's really had despite being such a massive name.

I really hope he doesn't ramble on and on.

The globes are always hard to get all the Tv awards right. I don't even bother.

Yay, less chance for Boyhood to win the biggie now!

I hope not, but Patricia definitely deserved that.

Phew!

Good for Dragon! I can't say it was my favorite this year, but it's a rock solid animated film and after how snubbed the first was during awards season it's a nice consolation prize.

Lol, no. It's a mediocre performance through and through in a mediocre movie through and through. It literally feels like a film that had no director and was made by a robot on auto-pilot.

I wouldn't go that far as she can be very good, but she is overnominated. And this one was the definition of a mediocre performance.

Haven't seen Aniston or Cotillard yet, but right now Swank would easily get my vote for 5th slot at the Oscars.

Oh god, they really fell for that vanilla performance? Not a strong category this year, but still. She better not get a nom at the Oscars.

15m would have been "passable" for Selma, but 11m is borderline bad. This is a very well done biopic of one of the most important and known figures in American history. Throw in the Christian element and the fact that it's close to MLK day and it should have been beyond an easy sell. A far easier sell than something like The Imitation Game, which is doing better thanks to smart marketing and awards rollout. Not only that, but if they had played the game right for awards season like all the other big contenders did, it would be a major force to be reckoned with instead of slipping out of the race entirely like has been happening. Paramount definitely fucked up with it. Shameful too since it's a brilliant film with one of the best performances of the decade.
