2014 Academy Awards: The Official Thread (ALL NOMINEES IN THE FIRST POST)

[Jessie]

Cool to see Bale nominated just so we can see this again

 

 

And this

 

 

Some of this

 

Maybe even this

 

 

But it shouldn't have come at the expense of Tom Hanks or Joaquin Phoenix. Bale did a great job, but ultimately, I would have understood him getting left out in a 6th or 7th slot.

 

Christian Bale is an asshole, after hearing him shouting at that guy on set, ive never liked him. If he spoke to me like that I would have punched him in the face.

Hm...... Grandmasters got nommed for Cinematography. Surprising but really awesome. 

 

 

And the only place where Cate might lose is BAFTAs to Dench, who has what 7 wins now or something ridiculous like that.

AH is like this big glittering jewel that looks gorgeous and impressive initially, but then you look closer and you realize the metal isn't gold, but gold-plated (and it's chipped in a few places), and the big-ass chunk of diamond is actually cubic zirconium.

Oh yeah. No Zimmer for 12 Years a Slave.

 

THANK YOU

[riczhang]

Leto is also locked.

 

But much less so than Blanchett. Like Blanchett's Oscar is more locked than Fort Knox. 

[CoolioD1]

Oh yeah. No Zimmer for 12 Years a Slave.

 

THANK YOU

ARCADE FIRE! (well two of them)

 

FUCK YEAH.

[Jessie]

Who has the biggest chance to win best Actor?

 

I don't care

[forg]

I haven't seen American Hustle but happy to see Amy Adams nominated.

[baumer]

blackfish not being nominated is a travesty.

 

I think I'll skip the oscars this year.

[Dementeleus]

I do like the love thrown GRANDMASTER's way. It's a beautiful and sumptuous-looking movie.

[Dementeleus]

blackfish not being nominated is a travesty. I think I'll skip the oscars this year.

ACT OF KILLING deserves the win. Which means it won't.

[forg]

I hope Hanks wins SAG to shake things up lol

Well, I wouldn't fight a guy who secretly beats up thugs at night, but...

 

Bale is an enigma. For as much as we hear about him being an asshole of sorts, he's also done many many charitable acts and great things that make Bale a tough shell to crack. Maybe he has a nasty temper, but ultimately is a nice person. Maybe he's calmed down since then (2008 was not a happy year for him...), maybe we just don't have the full context of what happened. Yeah, he chewed out a guy on set, but at least he didn't near beat a guy to death like Mark Wahlberg.

[CoolioD1]

I thought Stories We Tell was easily the best documentary of the year. So of course that didn't get nominated.

[riczhang]

 

There I said it. (And i know you guys were all thinking this )

[4815162342]

A little surprised Stories We Tell didn't show up in Documentary.

[riczhang]

I thought Stories We Tell was easily the best documentary of the year. So of course that didn't get nominated.

 

Act of Killing?

[baumer]

ACT OF KILLING deserves the win. Which means it won't.

 

Well, you know where my interest lies.  So Blackfish not being nominated is a bit of a pisser for me.

Doing something for charity gives the impression of being a nice guy, it doesn't make you a nice guy. he's still an asshole from what ive seen.

This is genius. And it isn't even gold-plated. More like pyrite.
