GiantCALBears Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Haven't seen any of these three yet but from what I hear... War Horse, The Descendants, The Artist are locked in at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Horse, The Descendants, The Artist are locked in at this point I haven't seen War Horse yet, obviously, but of the three I'd rather have The Descendants win. It's a great movie. The Artist is too... lighthearted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artist is too... lighthearted. I have some movie homework to do for Oscar season, the only serious contender I've seen so far (out of the top 7 or so consensus picks) is Moneyball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 If early critics awards are any indication, Drive may be building up a bit of steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I really think War Horse looks awful... Why are all the contenders so sappy-emotional this year? War Horse, Artist, Extremely Loud.... I like my Oscar movies dark and depressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Locked The Artist (momentum is everything with Oscars, and TA seems to have it. Already winning prizes) The descendants (glowing reviews, success in its first weeks. It reminds me a lot of Up in the air) The tree of life (divisive film, but has too many diehard supporters, Already winning prizes, plus Pitt year, plus Malick) Moneyball (has many factors Oscars do love, and also is a mainstream film and well respected by critics. Already with precursors love) Very probable Hugo (good early WOM, building a mainstream audience. Already has precursors prizes) Midnight in Paris (Comeback, success independent film, despite being a summer release it hasn't lost its heat) The Help (voters can see this as an actress vehicle, but the success it had can proppel to a nom) War Horse (almost not shown. Also the long time it's been as the frontrunner can turn back to dissappointing results. But it's Spielberg) Possible Extremely loud (almost not shown. Early critics precursors didn't name it) Tinker spy (critics liked it a lot, but possibly not loved it the way a film needs to get Oscars) Not likely (but not out of the race) Harry Potter (heavy campaign I didn't expect, but not the kind of film and genre that will get enough supporters) The Ides of March (the descendants heat hurts this film options) Dragon Tatoo (not seen, and will likely be divisive between those who preffer the european version) Young Adult (not seen, but if it's good enough and Theron gets raves for this, it can happen) Drive (mmmmmaybe we're killing its chances before we should. It had enough critical love) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Tree of Life is nowhere near locked. It's very, very divisive and it's buzz right now is minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Predicts as of right now: Green Lantern Bucky Larson Breaking Dawn 1 The Sitter Conan Immortals Big Momma 3 Sucker Punch The Worst Movie Ever! Evil Bong 3D Whoops! Wrong predicts Okay really: The Artist Decsendents Extremly Loud The Help Midnight in Paris Moneyball Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy War Horse Okay here are other possible titles: Hugo DH2 Rango (You never know) Super 8 (See above) Young Adult (Forgot about this one) Dragon Tattoo The Muppets (Longshot, but yeah) Drive 50/50 Contigion Win Win Not a fan of this multiquote as I wanted to quote the 2 posts I had that I had in another post. Anyway, one thing I will add that I believe Hugo will be nominated now. Making it 9 films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Harry Potter and everything but that's fucking ridiculous. What a waste of money. It represents everything that's wrong with the Oscars/Golden Globes/Critics etc. You have to "campaign" for them and spend money. The work should stand on its own.

Impact Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Exactly. Its all who pays the most now or who is the most political. Something of intrest though I learned about 6 or 7 years ago, that apparently Mel Gibson did no campaining for Braveheart. As he felt like the Oscars should not be campained but what was liked the most. And ironically his film won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
