Halba Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Will be hilarious if Selma missed best picture after all this. Mostly for the ultimate Crone meltdown. selma's omissions from most awards is due to screener availability, and not critical reception. academy have the screens, and academy voters will have full knowledge of selma. selma is #2 pole position imho and is a top 2 contender for picture.

Alpha Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Interstellar is more likely to get nominated than Unbroken, and even then it's fighting for the final spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Interstellar is more likely to get nominated than Unbroken no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 But I wouldn't say Unbroken was higher than 12th right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 If there were 5 noms, this is what I would think they would be: Birdman Boyhood Grand Budapest Imitation Game Selma (I almost had Gone Girl but then I realized I forgot to put Hotel). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 this is pretty cool. instead of just announcing the big categories like they normally do, on thursday's nomination announcement they're gonna announce every category in a two-part announcement, I assume the first part will be all the techs and stuff and will only be web-streamed and the second part will be the categories regular people care about and will be on tv. Either way, I think it's cool the smaller categories are getting the recognition nonetheless. http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/star-wars-director-jj-abrams-will-help-announce-nominees-for-all-24-oscar-categories 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Movies from this year s oscar race I am interested in : Whiplash, love drumming. Gone Girl, Amazing Amy Interstellar, but I think it will have to settle for tech noms only maybe. The rest meh, especially the premises and descriptions and reviews I ve read from Boyhood and Birdman : no thx. One trick ponnies. Don't call boyhood or Birdman one trick ponies until you actually see them. There's much more to them than their "gimmicks", which aren't even gimmicks btw but more of an extra layer of excellency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I didn't even know about Birdman's "gimmick" until I saw it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Interstellar is more likely to get nominated than Unbroken, and even then it's fighting for the final spots. To be honest, it is. I know Nolan is secretive and cares about confidentiality, but the fact that Interstellar screeners still haven't leaked onto torrent sites tells me that either Paramount took some special measures to make sure that didn't happen, OR, just like Selma, not many screeners, or none at all, had been sent out to those smaller award circles.

ladyevenstar22 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) in order of preference and what i've seen so far among the potentials for best picture noms: gone girl nightcrawler american sniper my very dark horse : guardians of the galaxy , to bravely go where no marvel movie has gone to before the big categories at the oscars , really hope it gets in at least for screenplay wouldnt that be amazing? I have to watch all the other films first will get to it asap Edited January 11, 2015 by LadyEvenstar22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well I put this in the Oscar predict thread, but I really hope a surprise happens. What could happen in picture? Theory misses out? (I would say Whiplash but that would be far less surprising) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Locks for nomination: Birdman Boyhood The Imitation Game Selma Strong chances: American Sniper Foxcatcher Gone Girl Fighting for the final spots: A Most Violent Year Interstellar The Grand Budapest Hotel Nightcrawler The Theory of Everything Unbroken Whiplash Wild I think the final total for nominations will be 9, considering that's been the number since the new guidelines started in 2011. What I'm guessing the final list will be: American Sniper A Most Violent Year Birdman Boyhood Foxcatcher Gone Girl The Imitation Game Selma Whiplash Maybe if there was a tenth nominee (or if a ninth nominee gets switched out) it could go to Interstellar, The Theory of Everything or Unbroken, but that's probably it.

Impact Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 I will be upset if Foxcatcher is nominated. For this reason-I got rid of it from the Oscar game seeing it had no chance anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Most Violent Year isn't getting nominated for anything but maybe Supporting Actress. And The Theory of Everything and Grand Budapest are locked, they aren't missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
