ChD Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't think we'll see Nolan in this category. He might deserve it for his past projects, so he might get in as some kind of pity nomination, but for Interstellar itself, I doubt it'll be possible. That is mainly because Cuaron already brought Science Fiction to another level with this technology... Interstellar doesn't sound like a project to take the next step, so as much as I hate saying this, Nolan's only nomination this year will be for Interstellar Best Picture Nomination, as producer.

The Panda Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I think as long as Unbroken is good (even if it's just Blind Side good) it'll get a picture and director nom, Jolie is to baity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would rather nominate her for Maleficent (even if reviews for Mal were bad and Unbroken good) than let her in for Best Director. They didn't even let Bigelow get second fully deserved nom.

Joel M Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Imagine a category with Fincher, Nolan, Aronofsky and both Andersons. It won't happen but it would be one for the ages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most white-old-fart-dudes category If Jolie gets in, it's for Unbroken.And the academy has slowly been trending younger, but 2012 was a weird year for director noms (The Affleck snub, no Tarantino, no Bigelow), and I think it was the controversy behind ZDK not Bigelow (who won may I remind you).Jolie is the perfect person to be the second female director nod.

She's barely on her 2nd movie, she's actress-turned-director AND she's a woman. I just can't see this happen, scoring Best Actress nod for fantasy Maleficent role seems more likely than people who actually vote in Best Director branch (reminder: a bunch of old, white dudes) letting her in. I can see Best Picture nom for Unbroken quite easily, but DIrector's gonna be extremly hard Edited March 22, 2014 by BobbyJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Sofia Coppola was nominated for her second film and she was an actress-turned-director. (Even if her acting never won her any fans). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyJohn Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) (Even if her acting never won her any fans). Well yeah, kinda important part. Especially since Jolie already won acting Oscar, then got nominated again. It is very hard to break out when the Academy says "no, you can't be THAT good in 2 things". Especially for a woman. None has done it. Men are much more likely to be seen as general 'man of film' = can be nominated in everything Edited March 22, 2014 by BobbyJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Think this'll be Burton and Fincher fighting it out. Linklater would have a really good shot if Boyhood had a better distributor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 As I said on the last page-very unlikely we get a 3rd year in a row of a bp/bd split for the reasons I've mentioned already. (2012 was just a plain random year, and last year was almost as odd, but still 2012 was even more odd and it felt like a 1940s Oscars considering how split out it was) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 My prediction - Fincher won't get in but PTA will. Inherent Vice may be a December movie but I fully expect it to premiere at either Cannes or Venice (more likely) and it will build a steady buzz leading up to its December release.

The academy has been moving more towards going with the times, and that includes a woman director. Honestly, Angelina Jolie for a directing nod would help draw an audience as well. I also hope Grand Budapest Hotel can get a cinematography nod, it had fantastic cinematography. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm beginning to think Linklater will get a nomination here at the very least. The directorial achievement of Boyhood seems just way too self-evident (similarly to films like Mulholland Drive and United 93, both nominated in this category but not in any other). I wouldn't even rule out a win for him if Boyhood ends up popular enough with the Academy and gets nominated in other main categories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
