MovieMan89 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think 8 right now. Birdman, Boyhood, Grand Budapest, Gone Girl, Imitation Game, Selma, The Theory of Everything, Whiplash. Maybe 9 if Unbroken really does play better to the academy than critics. Yep, I really am confident in those 8 films being the ones. And if there is a 9th one this year, I think it will be a "shocker." I'd say Wild or A Most Violent Year. I don't see 10 happening at all, but who knows I guess.

Impact Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Maybe Into the Woods as well. Quick question-what else is Whiplash likely for other than supporting actor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Quick question-what else is Whiplash likely for other than supporting actor? Screenplay, sound, maybe editing. I hope it gets a Director nom a la Benh Zeitlin for Beasts of Southern Wild, except this one would be deserved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 My thoughts today. Can Whiplash be finally snubbed? There are two heavier independent choices that will get a lot of #1 votes. I'm reconsidering Gone Girl chances. It may be the BO king of this year nominees. Either Into the woods or Unbroken will be nommed. They usually support these kind of ambitious Holiday hits. We won't have less than 9 films nommed. It's all headed for a surprise inclusion in the BP race. I'm thinking on A most violent year, American Sniper, Wild, Nightcrawler or Ida. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Maybe Into the Woods as well. Quick question-what else is Whiplash likely for other than supporting actor? In the game I've got it down for 5 nominations. Picture, supp. actor, screenplay, sound x2. My alternate for editing as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Birdman Boyhood Gone Girl The Grand Budapest Hotel The Imitation Game Selma The Theory of Everything Unbroken Whiplash With American Sniper replacing either Unbroken or Whiplash if it gets in. Everything else feels like a non-factor in the race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Birdman Boyhood Gone Girl The Grand Budapest Hotel The Imitation Game Selma The Theory of Everything Unbroken Whiplash With American Sniper replacing either Unbroken or Whiplash if it gets in. Everything else feels like a non-factor in the race. I really see it replacing Unbroken if it gets in. Into the Woods could slip in to possibly. I think either of those are more likely than Unbroken.

mahnamahna Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I see Into the Woods getting in over Unbroken. Better reviews, more Oscar nominations (Actress possibly, Supporting Actress, Costumes, Production Design, Sound categories, outside shot at BD) and likely to have a higher BO total. ITW is already outpacing Unbroken by $1 million a day. Selma Boyhood The Imitation Game Birdman Gone Girl Into the Woods The Grand Budapest Hotel The Theory of Everything American Sniper (if it breaks out at the BO and if reviews stay fresh) Alts. Whiplash, Unbroken, Wild, Foxcatcher, Interstellar (very outside chance) Edited December 31, 2014 by mahnamahna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Into the Woods is not happening. Box office is strong, yes, but I don't see the film getting the passion (aka the #1's) necessary to enter the Best Picture line-up (especially not with a distributor that's historically incompetent at awards stuff). Missing SAG Ensemble despite having a perfect balanced cast of big stars and established names was a pretty big blow, and missing the final listing of the Hair/Make-Up bake-off despite the showy work in the film was another sign that support for the film likely isn't strong enough (although probably not weak enough to prevent another default Meryl nom). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In ITW's defence, the screeners didn't en masse arrive for AMPAS members until 12 December. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Which goes back to Disney being an ass campaigner. Of course, but it means that the SAG snub wasn't as big of a defeat for it as we thought. It's likely that people voted for Meryl because she's Meryl regardless of whether or not they've seen it and while it sounds kinda ridiculous, things like that do happen. So, there's still hope on the back of great reviews and great BO for ITW to get BP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Top RT score is Toy Story 2, doesn't make it the best movie of all time. No, Boyhoods higher. I'm not saying it's the best movie of all time, but there is an overall consensus that it's better than the hurt locker. A 100 on Metacritic is something that I legitimately thought would be impossible for a movie with over 200 reviews but it has it. It's safe to say the majority of the people who are going to be voting that have seen it think it's pretty great.

Impact Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Well hearing very mixed stuff about Woods (to be fair though-it is for things like the ending, the story and being too long, stuff that the film couldn't control) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
