rockNrollaDIM Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I just hope Jolie gets a nomination. Will be a huge victory. Academy is notoriously biased against actors turned directors, especially females. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I just hope Jolie gets a nomination. Will be a huge victory. Academy is notoriously biased against actors turned directors, especially females. Like Jlaw said herself, you are talking about the king and quen of America. Don't forget her narrative about her medical hardships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I just hope Jolie gets a nomination. Will be a huge victory. Academy is notoriously biased against actors turned directors, especially females. They might not be female, but Costner, Redford and Gibson all won BD with their first nomination. Affleck is the exception to the rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 So 12 Years a Slave lost everything except Actor and Picture, this really is a jumbling mess.I'd say 12 Years probably wins picture, but it lost all of its awards (McConaughey is would have won had he been eligible). I just can't see 12YAS only winning BP but it is currently not locked to win anything right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I still think Slave should win Adapted Screenplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Watch 12YAS end up like Grand Hotel. It might actually happen. That's not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I still think Slave should win Adapted Screenplay. Should yes. But adapted is probably Harvey's only place to win so it isn't certain. That's not going to happen. I'm not saying it will absolutely, but you can't deny that there is the possibility. The sum, it seems, is greater than its individual components.

Jake Gittes Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 12YAS should win at least 2 Oscars in addition to BP to save some face (the best bets are obviously Supp. Actress and Adapted Screenplay), in that case we'll basically have a Godfather / Cabaret repeat. (Which would be fine with me). If it wins BP and one other Oscar, or only BP, it'll just look embarrassing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 12YAS wins 1 or 2 awards and let's say Gravity gets 6 or 7, people are going to further question the Academy's ability to award mainstream box office hits. Oh well, however, that scenario could really help Interstellar in 2014 if the film is as good as most of Nolan's past work. Perhaps, the most bizarre and almost impossible scenario, 12YAS ties with Gravity while winning no other awards.

The Panda Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Same here. He really should have had one by now. He's going to have wait another year (Despite deserving it), McConaughey is winning the award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 If we want to solely go off patterns the last 10 years have had a blockbuster winner followed by a non blockbuster since 2004 to now - so that pattern dictates that Gravity/Hustle/Wolf/Phillips are all off the table.... just an observation (and a knock at the mainstream hits idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 There are some 6000 voters. The odds of two movies getting tied for an award are very, very small and we already had a tie last year so the odds of another tie this year are not that high.

I feel the last time we had a box office smash awarded was RotK. I know what you mean, but I don't consider films with sub $150M grosses to be blockbusters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see you calling Chicago a blockbuster and Return of the King a blockbuster, yet those won back to back. The last actual blockbuster to win BP was Return of the King, you also aren't taking into account the majority of the 100m+ BP grossers wouldn't have gotten to 100m if they handn't gotten Oscar nominees, Argo and the Departed being the two exceptions (Although they barely scraped by 100m). An actual mainstream film has not won since Return of the King. Edited February 19, 2014 by The Panda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 There will not be a tie for BP. The guys in charge have said that if a tie somehow happens, they will use tiebreakers to determine a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
