The Panda Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Then this probably how the final list will look. American Sniper Birdman Boyhood Foxcatcher Gone Girl The Grand Budapest Hotel The Imitation Game Selma The Theory of Everything Looks about right, I'm thinking it's something like Likelihood for nom rankings Near-Locks (nothing is ever truly locked till it gets the award) 1.Boyhood 2.Birdman 3.The Imitation Game 4.The Grand Budapest Hotel 5.The Theory of Everything Fighting For the Last Spots (depends on nom number) 6.Whiplash 7.Gone Girl 8.American Sniper 9.Selma 10.Nightcrawler 11.Foxcatcher Outside possibilities 12.Mr. Turner 13.Into the Woods 14.Interstellar 15.Unbroken 16.Wild 17.A Most Violent Year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I think Galaxy has a better chance then Most Violent year. And from the looks of it-Gone Girl will be the only high grossing nom this year. (I also would have Woods, Interstellar, Unbroken, and Wild over Mr. Turner and Woods/Unbroken over Foxcatcher-other then that its decent I suppose-not sure if I would have Whiplash that high either as I could see that missing out, then again it could surprise big time!) And I'm surprised at the number of Nightcrawler predicts sneaking in all of a sudden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is poised to be a big grossing movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Starting to believe Boyhood might just walk away with this. Never thought it'd be that easy, but Selma really isn't doing very good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have three +100M grossers. Maybe even 4 if Unbroken or American Sniper manage to get in. Not bad. We still have to wait for post-noms bumps for Birdman or Theory.

Alpha Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I really wished Interstellar had gotten more attention in the guilds. It's a great movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Boyhood is winning this and nothing will stop it. Completely deserved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Boyhood is winning this and nothing will stop it. Completely deserved. It isn't my favorite movie from last year, but it is great, so I am fine with it winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yup. Boyhood is winning. I do have this to say, I think 20 years from now that Boyhood will actually be up there with Shawshank Redemption, Citizen Kane, and the Godfather as one of the best films ever made in the history of cinema. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Even though I only first saw Dazed and Confused and the Before movies in 2013, I'm weirded out by the fact that a Linklater joint - and one that's in no way pandering to the mainstream - is a Best Picture frontrunner that's loved by the industry. I can only imagine how his longtime fans feel. Also, while Boyhood is my favorite movie of 2014 I can't help but admit its recognition makes me angry at how little attention the Before films received in comparison. I realize quality by itself doesn't win you awards and your movie needs to gain enough buzz in the industry, etc. But for a guy who made Dazed, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight, it still feels ridiculous that Boyhood is going to give him his first Picture & Director nominations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Just be happy for it man. Awards don't always go to the movies you want it to, but you just hope they'll eventually find their way to the people you want it to, that's not the way it SHOULD work, but hey ho, what am I gonna do about it? I've been in Linklater's corner since Sunset and this is beyond awesome. I feel the same way about this huge wave of love Wes is getting for grand budapest, even though it's not quite my favourite. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 How many nominations Boyhood can get? Picture, Director, Both supportings, screenplay, editing and what else? maybe song but even that is a strech. Grand Budapest, Birdman and Imitation Game will probably have more nominations but that won't make much of a difference. It reminds of Hurt Locker's run. All the way up to the guilds I thought something more oscar-y or Avatar will stop it's momentum eventually, and nothing did. But we have to wait for the guilds to call it. DGA will most likely go for Boyhood, SAG is Birdman's to lose. So if the Producers decide to play hipster and give it to Grand Budapest then the race is not over. Or maybe Imitation Game takes all the guilds ala King's Speech, I commit suicide in protest and then who cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know. I don't really mean I'm angry, it's just really weird in retrospect, especially considering BM was just a year ago. On a positive note, one great thing to come out of this is that more people will seek the Before movies and other Linklaters, and those could always use more fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah, Paramount totally fucked over Selma, and the Golden Globes showed Birdman's vulnerability, so I think it's Boyhood's to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Most likely final: American Sniper Birdman Boyhood Gone Girl The Grand Budapest Hotel The Imitation Game Selma The Theory of Everything Whiplash Alt: Nightcrawler Though I can also see these bumping in: Into the Woods, Unbroken, Wild and Foxcatcher (Which I had on my list forever but then got rid of it).

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 My first prediction is that one year from now there will be 117 pages of bitching in this forum devoted to Nolan not getting a directing nomination. Looks like we're taking it better than we thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I remember 2 years ago I saw the nominations and there were some major surprises and stuff, then I came to this forum and there were paaaaaages of talk about The Dark Knight Rises not getting a visual effects nomination. so don't underestimate them.
