ban1o Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) There s an Oscar trivia saying it 's been a long time since the number one movie of the year, Catching Fire, didn't receive ANY Oscar nom, not even some technical ones. Not really Spider-man 3 didn't get any nominations ETA: Unless 6 years is a considered a long time. Edited April 28, 2014 by ban1o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't think the THG movies are worthy of any particular tech nominations anyways. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't think the THG movies are worthy of any particular tech nominations anyways. I really like the movies, but I have to agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't think the THG movies are worthy of any particular tech nominations anyways. I could have easily seen Costume and Make Up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I just find it funny that they keep nominating JLaw least last few years for roles that's not Katniss. I'll argue she did a way better job in CF as Katniss than she did in American Hustle, and she didn't need to show massive cleavage to do it.

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If any of the recent blockbuster franchises had to the best chance for wins it was The Hungers Games. It even has the Oscar darling and winner, Jennifer Lawrence. I don't expect a win, but I was think they could give the movies token nominations. The Academy seems so out of touch with the public. Jennifer was incredible in Catching Fire, but for a YA franchise to get AMPAS love, I think it would have to be much more than that...all the younger leads would have to give awards caliber performances and get the material for that opportunity, and most YA fantasy/adventure books being made into the next franchise just aren't written on that level. There are YA books that good, but it's more things like The Fault in our Stars, not the big-budget franchise stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Loved at Cannes, the London film festival, the London film critics, the Globes, the Baftas, the Australian Academy awards, the Cesars, the Oscars - and those are only the awards I actively followed. There were many others.As I said, you either fell in love with it or you didn't. And millions across the world did. It's bottom of the barrel film making.

baumer Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I could make The Artist. My 1 year old niece could probably direct it. Then again, she can't talk yet, but it wouldn't matter. All she'd have to do is point, laugh, say a few goo-goo ga-ga and she'd be on par with the product they put out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, man, never followed the NHL at all. I guess if anything I'd root for the Sharks, since they're from the Bay Area. (I follow Wil Wheaton on Twitter and he's a HUGE Kings fan, though).

BadAtGender Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I just watched The Raid 2 a second time. While I expected the action to be entertaining (it was), I was surprised that the buildup didn't bore me, even if it's still a bit excessive. Evans certainly made an iffy script work very well (even if it was his own script.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
