mahnamahna Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Nolan has never been nominated for best director. I doubt interstellar will be his first. Neither has Wes Anderson. Nolan also has two screenplay nods (Memento and Inception), just like Anderson. The later release date gives Interstellar an edge over Grand Budapest Hotel at the moment.

CoolioD1 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 PTA chances of getting nominated here for that film are in the negative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I was thinking of P.T Anderson. Ohh, well Inherent Vice hasn't really gotten any buzz. Plus, Gone Girl's probably going to steal its hard-R crime thriller thunder. Birdman Unbroken The Imitation Game Gone Girl Interstellar Boyhood Into the Woods Whiplash The Theory of Everything/American Sniper/Inherent Vice/Foxcatcher/Selma (last slot seems pretty fluid for BP) Seems like the order for likelihood of a BP win at this moment. Could easily change. I just don't see Inherent Vice making any noise when there's plenty of other directors making a run for the top prize (Linklater, Fincher, Inarrtu, Jolie, Eastwood, Nolan, etc). Interstellar's also going to be the token critically acclaimed blockbuster/"sweep all the technical categories" film (like Gravity, Life of Pi, Hugo, Inception, Avatar, etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we don't know if going to be critically acclaimed. Hasn't there only been one screening in Texas and now there is one in California for tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 This category I feel that regardless of if it wins BP is going to Boyhood. The other two uber-ambitious movies are either divisive/too similar to Gravity (Interstellar) or the ambitiousness lies with the cinematography (Birdman). Linklater is the obvious person behind Boyhood and he's overdue for an Oscar anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Ava DuVernay, Selma Angelina Jolie, Unbroken Richard Linklater, Boyhood Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Birdman Christopher Nolan, Interstellar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Nominees: Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu - Birdman Angelina Jolie - Unbroken Ava DuVernay - Selma Bennett Miller - Foxcatcher Richard Linklater - Boyhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) 1) Linklater 2) DuVernay 3) Jolie 4) Inarritu 5) hopefully anyone other than the two British biopics' guys and Rob Marshall. I'm personally hoping for Damien Chazelle, and if not him, then Fincher or Miller. Edited November 30, 2014 by Jake Gittes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Early Trade reviews in for Unbroken - strike out Jolie. Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu - Birdman Ava DuVernay - Selma Bennett Miller - Foxcatcher Fincher - Gone Girl Richard Linklater - Boyhood Though I'd like to see Anderson get in for GBH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) God how I'd love to see Anderson sneak in here (Wes not PT). I know it won't happen, but if it did I would seriously consider absolving the Academy of all past transgressions. He really deserves his spot in the five here out of all the big contenders I've seen (haven't seen Imitation or Selma yet).

MovieMan89 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Miller has no business in a top 20 shortlist, let alone the actual 5. I have no idea what anyone is buying into there, but apparently I don't even shop in that same planetary code.

TalismanRing Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I wonder if Mike Leigh will make it for Mr Turner. With it's current very high reviews and his rep I could see him getting in over Miller and Fincher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
