CoolioD1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 These awards used to have a real British identity but over the last few years they've become just another Oscar precursor with the occasional unique pick. Shame, really. Even the Best British Film nominees aren't British any more. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Awards season was much more exciting before the Internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 SMB doesn't seem to be considered an Australian film in Australia for the AACTA Awards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_AACTA_Awards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Uh....no. Matt Damon is not a supporting role. He's totally a co-lead with Douglass. And no Adapted Screenplay nod for Before Midnight? For shame, BAFTAS, for shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Uh....no. Matt Damon is not a supporting role. He's totally a co-lead with Douglass. Same deal with Daniel Bruhl and Julia Roberts. Though everyone's just kind of weirdly accepted those. (and the BAFTAs are usually pretty good at correcting category frauds, they nominated Hailee Steinfeld and Berenice Bejo in lead in previous years after all) Edited January 8, 2014 by CoolioD1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The lack of Dallas disturbs me. Curious to see the Oscar nominations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's certainly strange, but given how well the film has been playing in the guilds, I think it has a chance for Original Screenplay and Picture along with the obvious Actor and Supporting Actor.

ladyevenstar22 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 there is a uniformization trend in wanting to have a more global appeal and relevance the world knows who won the oscar not so much bafta or goya or cesar and yet perhaps their choices are just as good or better!

CoolioD1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I predict the best actress category will go 5/5 with the oscars. One or two different nominees in every other category though. Trying to decide if Christian Bale or Leo gets nominated in actor. Bruce Dern, McConuaghey, Hanks and Ejiofor are gonna be nominated and then it's between those two. Leo's been getting better reviews but Bale is in the film that all the awards so far have had a major hard-on for. hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I approve more of the BAFTA nominations than any other guild pre-cursor, sure there are some snubs I think they gave, but their nominations were well chosen imo. Plus, I am really happy Leo got a best actor nom, that hopefully heightens his chances in knocking out Redford or Hanks (I can't see Dern getting knocked out) for a best actor slot, im also really happy Amy Adams knocked out Streep. I was hoping Oprah would get the snub, because if she did it'd increase the chances of her not getting the nom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) no Robert! love you Leo but if its at the expense of Robert then no please! but no Streep either its a + & Rush & Adams! & a couple of noms for Dos No Dallas & Her - BS!
