mahnamahna Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 richard linklater - boyhood chris nolan - interstellar eastwood - american sniper inarittu - birdman jolie- unbroken winner will be nolan for interstellar I would be pumped that Nolan finally gets Oscar recognition, but also sad that Fincher is snubbed.

Jake Gittes Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'd certainly expect Fincher to get in before Eastwood and Nolan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'd certainly expect Fincher to get in before Eastwood and Nolan. Eastwood for sure, but Interstellar looks like a film where great direction will shine. So I'd say Eastwood isn't likely unless the Academy seriously hates Nolan... or if another film becomes a frontrunner. I expect at least a nod for Nolan. He's gunning for it at this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'd certainly expect Fincher to get in before Eastwood and Nolan. Believe it or not but, as they see the movie, the entire Awardswatch forum is dropping Fincher for best director because according to them, he adapted a trashy airport novel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I might have understood the logic if they'd done it before seeing the movie, but after? Seriously? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn t believe the flame wars the movie has created over there but as a whole, they are not kind with the movie and Fincher. So yes, they are dropping Fincher from the top 5 currently ... We ll see on Oscar morning... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I still think he gets in. He was almost nominated for TGWTDT which is 10 times the trashy airport novel that Gone Girl is, and was a much less successful and talked-about film (at least after people saw it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 You are thinking it is going to be a bad film? No but maybe not the masterpiece it's been hyped as for the last year. Maybe more commercial than critic darling. I'm just not sure why else they're not screening it until so late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure why else they're not screening it until so late. The premiere is a whole month before the movie comes out, idk if they're leaving it too late.

The Futurist Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) No but maybe not the masterpiece it's been hyped as for the last year. Maybe more commercial than critic darling. I'm just not sure why else they're not screening it until so late. Jolie is shooting her next film as we speak. She is not available at all to promote Unbroken and I am pretty sure she s gonna do a media blitz like never before in her career. So they are releasing the movie to fit Jolie s schedule.

Jake Gittes Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I always thought Unbroken would be "more commercial than critic darling". Not to say it can't turn out to be a very good movie, but it's a big studio-financed biopic that I'd expect to be done in broad, crowd-pleasing strokes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Linklater is gonna win the majority of the critics awards for sure. i think he's likelier than folks like Anderson and Miller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think Anderson could take his place. I would place him in 5th on my list. Interstellar has the later release date and seems like the token tentpole for this year's Oscar race. I'd say Nolan's in the BD shortlist for now. All depends on how Interstellar is received.
