TLK Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Why is Into The Woods considered an awards contender ? Is this because of Meryl because nothing else about the project sounds like an Oscar movie ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If anything we should take Meryl's involvement as a sign it won't be very good. Well that and Rob Marshall directing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Rob Marshall can fuck away off. Tell that to the Academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Tell that to the Academy. They thankfully did with Nine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 on another website i was talking about my stupid early oscar predictions for 2014 and i said that big eyes was gonna win "the big five" so yeah, i hope it doesn't suck and make me look stupid. If there's one thing I know about next year's Oscars, it's that Waltz isn't gonna win his third Oscar in five years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 duly noted. it's just that there's no obvious frontrunner a year in advanced this year in that category so right now i think anyone's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I think this could be Nolan's year... [*]Christopher Nolan (Interstellar) [*]Tim Burton (Big Eyes) [*]David Fincher (Gone Girl) [*]Paul Thomas Anderson (Inherent Vice) [*]Angelina Jolie (Unbroken) - if it's above 80% on RT, I'd give it the nom since they'll want a female nominee again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If Malick's new films are done in the style of To the Wonder, he won't be anywhere near this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Obviously. But I'm betting they aren't (or at least Voyage of Time isn't. Seems perfect for his style) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Voyage of Time is a documentary, no? His features are Knight of Cups and another as-yet-untitled one (formerly titled Lawless). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure if it would really qualify as a documentary. I don't think there's any actual "real-life" footage in it. Edited March 4, 2014 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I wouldn't be so sure on Ridley Scott just yet... Especially after that last abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yeah I see Fincher or Nolan nominated before Scott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 As a note-don't expect a picture/director split again, as last year was the first time in 61 years there was a back to back P/D split. Now I know this wont happen-but imagine how ironic that be if Affleck wins director for a film not nominated for best picture. (Which has only happened once-the 2nd Oscars with The Divine Lady. Though technically it did happen during the 1st year as there was an award for comic director) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
