rockNrollaDIM Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Uhm, what movie would that be for? Selma - MLK biopic releasing on Christmas day. DuVernay will be this year's "historic" candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Selma - MLK biopic releasing on Christmas day. DuVernay will be this year's "historic" candidate. Oh. I asked cause I checked and saw that the release date was the 9th of January, 2015. Just checked again and it's limited on 25. Thanks. You think she could pull it off, though? I mean, just the idea of the movie doesn't secure her the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's got a narrative, and her last film was really well received (won director prize at Sundance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 No way Linklater doesn't get in now, if he doesn't it'll be the biggest snub in oscar history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halba Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) linklater wont get it..they generally dont award indie productions, they leave them to the other indie circuits. it'll be forgotten by awards season just like before midnight. oscars generally have to be major releases and productions e.g. lincoln, argo, gravity etc. gone girl should get it i.e. fincher. it looks amazing.

Jake Gittes Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 You mean indie productions like Juno, Capote, Precious, Beasts of the Southern Wild, etc... wasn't 12YAS an independent film too? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 you're listing films that were distributed by fox searchlight and spc and the like who are really good at oscar campaigning, but boyhood is IFC which has gotten screenplay nods for a couple films (in the loop, greek wedding, y tu mama tambien) and nothing else really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 None of those movies had a 9+ average rating on RT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 an awards run similar to beasts of the southern wild is the best case scenario, and what I'm thinking at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'm thinking closer to The Hurt Locker, except without the actual Best Picture Oscar. I think, like THL, Boyhood has a strong chance to sweep the critics' awards for BP and BD (especially the latter), which will raise some awareness. And what you said about IFC is true, obviously, but they should know this is a special opportunity for them if they ever had one. I think they'll do as much as they can here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 You have to wait till next year for Miller to be nominated for FURY ROAD. No silly, he's getting nominated this year for LEGO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) None of those movies had a 9+ average rating on RT. But still it does not have anyone who worked on the film that appeals to the academy. Edited August 8, 2014 by Snoopy of Suburbia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Linklater, Miller, Jolie, Inarritu, Fincher Still thinking this, but Mike Leigh and PTA (and maaaaybe Nolan) are all threatening Miller. The other four I'm fairly sure about. Edited August 30, 2014 by Jake Gittes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Linklater's probably a better bet than him, maybe Fincer as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something wrong with IV? I would love if Linklater got nominated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
