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

[riczhang]

I really like that the Make Up & Hairstyle branch don't really give a damn if the movie has bad reviews or reputation and they focus on craft

 

Except for the song I don't know, the Original Song nominees are strong. Let It Go has tough competition with U2

 

I can't believe that the branch snubbed AH for the one nom it deserved.

Meryl Streep was fantastic in Hope Springs, if she campaigned last time she would easily get that nomination

[The Futurist]

Jlaw giving the Oscar to Léo after the Globe would be dreamy.

 

12YAS underperformed a bit because it is a tough watch.

[CoolioD1]

This is the second time ever where the majority of the best actor nominees were nominated in the comedy category at the globes rather than the drama category.

[forg]

Saw this on twitter: Barkhad Abdi to Tom Hanks: "I'm the captain now!"   

 

Hanks is probably 6th, too bad he got snubbed. Really wanted him to get a nomination again but anyway glad both CP and SMB did well in the box office

I dunno. Last year was pretty competitive. I mean who would she have bumped out? Wallis? or Nanny? I don't actually see either of them missing. Wallis was BP and BD nommed and so were Legend Riva and JLaw. And Nanny was in a hardcore emotional drama with the pathos ramped up to 15/10. So  I don't see her missing either. The weak link (Cotillard) already missed out.

Exhibitor Relations

JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA is an Oscar nominated film, LEE DANIEL'S THE BUTLER is not. Let that sink in.

 

 

Bad Grandpa was better, that's why.

[JohnnY]

The only one I saw was Gravity, does it have a chance of competing for BP with 12YAS and AH?

[Klingo]

How does that describe any of us who just don't think the film is worth all the praise?  I'm the guy who thinks Homefront is one of the 10 best films of the year.  I am certainly not a high brow film elitist.  

On that note, I didn't like AH because of the story.  Performances in my opinion was good, but not the story.

Hanks perf is so great that it hurts not seeing him in the list. I hate to see Bale there

 

Now, O'Russell is the first guy to have two consecutive films with an acting nomination in every category. It's really that great, Oscar voters?

Not just consecutive. He's the first guy to have two films make it in every acting category period.

[Leyla]

Take out Cooper and Hill and replace with Gandolfini and Bruhl and you have one hell of a Supporting Actor lineup (even if Bruhl is a true lead).

cant be more true 

 

 

& oh well here goes 11th nom for Deakins & obv he's not going to win

SAVING MR BANKS ONLY ONE NOMINATION!???

 

The year was so great that some films were going to be painfully snubbed

[riczhang]

This was pointed out on ADF: 

 

 

 

Oscar nomination tallies for Glenn Close+Sissy Spacek+Jessica Lange=Meryl Streep.

[riczhang]

cant be more true

What was Deakins's nom?

[riczhang]

Awful piece of history

 

Pretty much. Another mar on our history books.
