riczhang Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'd say take Julegend out of contention too, but that's never gonna happen. Surprising NBR gave the award to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 The only upside is that we now know a few people who are not gonna get homed now. And it looks like NBR will have its winner miss BP for the first time in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 A Most Violent Year!!! Can't wait to see it. Also, dat LEGO win for Best Screenplay. I can still see it kind of just sneaking in there and surprising everyone, but the odds are pretty small. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) The rest of NBR Top Films American Sniper Birdman Boyhood Fury Gone Girl The Imitation Game Inherent Vice The Lego Movie Nightcrawler Unbroken Top 5 Foreign Language Films Force Majeure Gett: The Trial of Vivian Amsalem Leviathan Two Days, One Night We Are the Best!

And how many times have NBR named Eastwood Best Director? 5 times? Edited December 2, 2014 by TalismanRing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think the lego movie would technically be an adapted screenplay at the oscars, and the competition is much weaker there this year... (not saying it'll happen. just let me entertain the idea for a sec.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many times have NBR named Eastwood Best Director? 5 times? Well NBR only loves 3 things. WB, Eastwood (preferably WB and Eastwood) and picking non-nominee winners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not saying it'll happen. just let me entertain the idea for a sec.) LEGO can't be adapted. That makes no sense. Adapted from what? Anyway, if LEGO pulls a screenplay nod that would be fucking awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if LEGO pulls a screenplay nod that would be fucking awesome! If In The Loop is adapted because they used ONE character from a tv show, then surely lego is adapted.

riczhang Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 That's bullshit. The Academy is so full of shit with their rules. Don't they know what original means? The argument, from Toy Story 3, was that since they are using characters that are already in existence, the art of writing the screenplay is therefore substantially different from the art of writing a screenplay that was wholly based on new characters because the writers already had some sort of screenplay/pre-existing material to base some of the characters off of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, The King's Speech got best original screenplay. And, that film was based on lots of pre-existing material. The Academy has such fucked up rules at times.

Jake Gittes Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Toy Story 3 is adapted because it's a sequel. LEGO isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
