Impact Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 We did have a arsty theater here, closed about a year later. Good. (It had strange films and it didn't even have soda!) Of course we do have a couple of really old theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Some of them are cool. The Paris Theater (Theatre?) which is playing The Artist has really comfy seats and downstairs it has the whole normal concession stand.

Impact Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 So what will be the highest grossing nod? I say War Horse right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 So what will be the highest grossing nod? I say War Horse right now. I'm gonna go ahead and say no to your War Horse and yes to TGWTDT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Well my suburban theater has The Descendants as of last weekend, thankfully, but not much else. It's literally all kids' films now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Dragon Tattoo's chances of a nod are fucked. It's getting literally zero awards attention from critics. I can just hope I enjoy it at this point... All I can see it getting attention for at this point is some technical nods, Cinematography, and Score.

Dementeleus Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 WAR HORSE is great. I could see it really being embraced by an older crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour has it that GWTDT`s best chance at nom aside techies, Maramania (oh, wait, where`s the mania?) withdrew herself from contention. Such noble act after piss poor showing at critical nomionations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Locked The Artist (NYFCC/NYFCO/Boston/DC/NBR top ten/GS nom) The descendants (LAFCA/AFI top ten/DC nom/NBR top ten/GS nom) Hugo (NBR winner/AFI top ten/GS nom/DC nom) The tree of life (San Francisco/NBR top ten/LAFCA runner up/AFI top ten) Moneyball Probable (from most probable to less probable) Midnight in Paris The Help War Horse Extremely loud 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) Tinker spy (critics liked it a lot, but possibly not loved it the way a film needs to get Oscars) 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) I'm guessing we will have 9-10 noms this year. Why? Not sure, maybe because there's no consensus about which film is the frontrunner. We have very solid options with a lot of supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 But they aren`t known to more people than arthouse cicle. At least as of now. But they are better than lot of the mainstream shit like transformers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think we will have 8 nominees this year. I'm afraid of that. But I can't see any of my top 9 missing the mark. Right now MiP, WH and Incredibly loud have the weakest possition IMO, but Allen / Spielberg / Daldry have proven many times before the Academy loves them. On the other hand, Drive is getting major attention from critics prizes. It really can be the dark horse of the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm also keeping in mind that Oscars like to surprise us with some nominations out of nowhere or some hurting snubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Drive is a critics movie so of coruse it gets lots of love from them. With the Oscars I don't see it going much further than brooks and an outside chance at categories like sound, editing and score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yeah I know. I remember Into the wild or Collateral hype transforming in only two noms both. A sad thing, IMO, because the two were great films. But then I think the scenario is now very different with these 10 possible nominations. With this scenario critics movies like TKAAR and Winter's bone were nominated. Who knows what will happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 No big surprise, but after seeing it last night, I feel safe in saying Dragon Tattoo has no shot at a nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
