CoolioD1 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 One place where there is correlation - Margin Call won best debut feature at NBR! Hopefully such an awesome film doesn't get ignored. Maybe a screenplay nomination or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm happy to see Drive and 50/50 getting love this week from Indie Spirts and now NBR. Sweet.Did anyone tell Noctis that DH2 got a mention?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think there must be an embargo on Dragon Tattoo, but the fact it made top 10 is the first sign of it's good quality, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozmeesah Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Is there a list of when the film critic awards are? I do not feel like type each one in to find when they are.This is as close as I could find:http://www.awardsdaily.com/awards-calendar/Doesn't show nearly all of them though.

Gopher Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm loving this start to the awards season. So many nice unexpected wins. I actually hope we don't get a clear frontrunner for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It really sucks when there is a frontrunner, because you can always count on the Academy to be trite and choose it. I was begging for Basterds or Social Network to surprise, but I deep down new they wouldn't happen. Even if the film I don't want to win wins, I'd prefer it to be a surprise as opposed to a dreaded disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 The King's Speech really was such a bland and boring pick. The movie is almost totally forgettable. Have no desire to ever see that again. They called it a big emotional crowd pleaser, but I don't know, I thought it was mostly cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 What I notice about the NBR top 10 is the absence of Moneyball and Midnight in Paris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloneWars Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 NBR's BP winner tends not to win BP, right? Anyway, what are the chances of Hugo getting a BP nom? It pretty much flopped on opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pretty much flopped on opening.This may be true, but in the last twenty years only ROTK was not on NBR's top 10 and managed to win BP. So there might be a winner in there. i think Hugo has a great chance at a nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bacon Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 My concerns about Dragon Tattoo not meshing with awards season are being confirmed.However, largely predictable outside of the unexpected Drive and Win Win love. Good to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Very nice showing for Drive, though it was always going to do well with critics. Does the Andy Serkis nod mean anything serious towards his Oscar campaign? Probably not. Edited December 4, 2011 by CoolioD1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 That acting ensemble lineup is also pretty good, Hugo, Harry Potter and Margin Call! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
