riczhang Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Why? Is there something wrong with IV? I would love if Linklater got nominated. I just feel like IV isn't something the Academy would go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fincher not having an Oscar in 2011 was wrong, Tom Hooper stole the Oscar that was rightfully his. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I know it's early but it doesn't seem likely Linklater misses out. That's the kind of directorial achievement they'll want to reward with a nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Iñárritu Linklater Miller Nolan Tyldum Dark horse: Fincher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) I wish people actually put the films sometimes (Don't worry I've done that too) The 2 current ones I see are:Jolie for UnbrokenFincher for Gone Girl Other names: Iñárritu for Reverent Eastwood for Sniper (breaking the oldest director nod ever) Miller for Foxcatcher Some random indie and/or foreign guy for some random film And again don't expect a BP/BD split-the last 2 years were just odd (last time it happened 2 years in a row was 1948/1949) I would say David Ayer but his history is not so great-then again look at the director of Lone Survivors history before he did LS! Edit: The Reverent comes out in 2015, it was Birdman you guys meant (I would say Scott but not sure how the Oscars will treat it. I do think Robin Hood should of been nominated for something) Edited September 14, 2014 by Impact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldIBeHere Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Linklater and Fincher should be the frontrunners now... Nolan will have to deliver a masterpiece with Inception to win against those two, imho. Unless it will be a "he already should have one"-win. But the same is true for Fincher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Fincher not having an Oscar in 2011 was wrong, Tom Hooper stole the Oscar that was rightfully his. Ficnher not having an Oscar in 2000 was wrong. Fight Club was easily more distinctive than American Beauty in terms of direction. But Fincher should have also won in 2011. David Fincher - Gone Girl (closer to Academy's wheelhouse and Fincher's overdue) Christopher Nolan - Interstellar (overdue, but the sci-fi genre could hurt it) Angelina Jolie - Unbroken (likely to get a female director in the list, and it looks like Oscar bait) Richard Linklater - Boyhood (film is too indie to win the category, sadly... especially since IFC probably doesn't have the funds to deliver a strong campaign) Alejandro Gonzalez Inarrtu - Birdman (quirky, lesser known but Keaton's performance should give the film enough strength to get a nod) Bennett Miller and PTA being the runnerups for a nod.

CoolioD1 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm thinking it gets into best picture, but Gone Girl not doing much better than Girl With The Dragon Tattoo at the oscars wouldn't surprise me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If all is right in the world Fincher and Linklater will be in. Possibly Nolan too, but we have to see Interstellar first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Anderson is absolutely out based on the reactions I've been seeing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think people need to remember the academy has ever so slowly been progressing. They nearly awarded Gravity BP last year, and they gave movies like Wolf and Her a strong number of nods. I think Gone Girl should definitely be in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think people need to remember the academy has ever so slowly been progressing. They nearly awarded Gravity BP last year, and they gave movies like Wolf and Her a strong number of nods. I think Gone Girl should definitely be in. Gravity winning BP would've been a travesty. Not a bad movie, but Best Picture material? Just no. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Inarritu is probably the only lock in this category so far, with Linklater and Tyldum nearly there. I'm guessing Miller also looks good, and Nolan and Jolie will fight for the last spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
