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

[Jack Nevada]

"We suffered from little to no distribution...it's somebody else's problem. I'm fine."

--Redford on his ALL IS LOST snub

[MovieMan89]

ALL IS LOST is brilliant. That is all.

Kon Tiki is better.

[Dementeleus]

Kon Tiki is better.

 

I loved KON-TIKI too. (I think ALL IS LOST is slightly better, but fuck yeah, KON-TIKI!)

[MovieMan89]

My mind wandered so much during All is Lost, I forgot at points I was watching a movie. Kept thinking about studying, groceries, my leg is falling asleep, FUCK this is boring, Gravity is amazing, how many sheep am I gonna count tonight, etc...

 

If you're gonna do a silent film these days, at least make it entertaining like The Artist.

Dunno, 12 Years a Slave is pretty fucking black as well.

 

 

I'm still miffed that the Jerk never received any Oscar love and the main character in that was born a poor black child

Ehhhhh.. 

[DAR]

Make it like Silent Movie

[Dementeleus]

Gotta have some patience, yeah

all it takes is patience,

just a little patience

is all you need.

AH is severely overrated. It better not win best picture. 

[Akatsuki]

This just in: Brie Larson nominated for 'Best Actress' in cooler parallel dimension where indies can afford more screeners.— edgarwright (@edgarwright) January 16, 2014Adele Exarchopoulos is also nominated for Best Actress in cooler parallel dimension. Also known as France.— edgarwright (@edgarwright) January 16, 2014

 

[John Marston]

it looks like American Hustle is almost guaranteed to win now. For some reason 12 Years a Slave seems to have lost a lot of steam

[AniNate]

Shit, no expansion for Nebraska. Guess I'll have to wait for Blu Ray.

[baumer]

Since we are discussing the best that film has to offer today, I think it's only fitting that I tell you I am watching perhaps the worst film I have ever seen.  It's called AE:  Apocalypse Earth.  It's about the end of the Earth and this rag tag bunch of marines has to go to different planet to survive.  They face Predator like invisible indigenous beings.  There is even a Latin female marine named Vasquez.    

 

Oh boy this is awful.

Sounds like an Asylum production.

 

(checks IMDB)

 

Yep.

[AniNate]

At the point where they're knocking off bad Shyamalan movies, I start to think they're actively trying to make the worst films ever.

Its funny all this hate for AH on here, yet all these people involved in the nomination/award process for all these various awards seem to see things differently.

[baumer]

Yep.

 

HTF did you know that?  I've never heard of Asylum before.  Kinda reminds me Golum Globus productions from the 80's.

I don't think any of us hate the film, I certainly don't, but because it has the most Oscar noms and is now looking like it could win, that is causing the backlash.

Asylum does ton of movies that are very similar to blockbusters released by the big studios. AE is their version of After Earth.

Nope. I hate it. I thought it was awful.

 

Then again, I'm apparently part of the Highbrow Elite.
