Just read on another forum that sprinkler system went off and got the red carpet wet.

I keep wondering every year why the Academy, which loves media coverage and attention, stick to the outdated 5am announcement of Oscar nominees.

 

I would have imagined making it a huge TV event, a one hour special with famous guests who run down the top contenders for that year for the first 50 minutes followed by the announcement of nominees for the last 10 minutes. They could air it in prime time as well.

when does the academy ever do as any normal group would?

 

i saw there's a 12YAS screener , so tempted but i'm going to hold off till next weekend if by then its not coming to my theatre to hell with them and per site it doesnt look like it , i'm so mad!

They probably have a budget that doesn't include all of that extra stuff. Their income is from membership and what else? I'm curious to find out.

Remember that awful american TV Spot of Batman Begins? Yeah, it is nothing compared to what they did in Italy:

I hope they don't change it. Here in the UK they announce round 1:30pm so I get to have my lunch while watching the nominations. It's cool.

BOF Awards will be troll-worthy.

 

Because Shane Carruth will win Best Director.

I can hope.

I can hope.

 

I won't send my ballot in until the last day but right now he's on mine for Director and Original Screenplay.

 

But I can imagine the WTFs thrown around by over half the forum if something like him sneaking a win happened.

[MrPink]

I'm going with Jon Chu.

 

The tough decision is whether vote him for GI Joe Retaliation or Believe.

So Hobbit is at 240 mill.  What will it end with realistically?  265?

Yeah, that's probably not a bad guess. From this point on, AUJ added about 25 million, but DoS is running behind it, day-to-day. 260-265 is probably about right.

I have Upstream Color for Picture, Director, Actress, original Screenplay, and Score.

It is earning slightly less than AUJ day to day, so 260-265 seems to be the final range.

I have the same (except Score) since Gopher wants 10 films for Pic
