Box Office Theory 2014 Oscar game! (game closed-new game on 1/15/2015)

[Impact]

Completely unintentional-but my original screenplay predicts+alt are the same as Movie Man (I did not expect that )

[Impact]

Does Selma feature an original score? I just noticed I'm the only one with it on here. (Granted an alt, but still)

[CoolioD1]

Does Selma feature an original score? I just noticed I'm the only one with it on here. (Granted an alt, but still)

Y'know I've never seen anyone bring it up. So if it does I assume it's not especially substantial.

[Impact]

Well I currently have Interstellar with 6 noms, which would make it unique as I said on the last page only 6 films have gotten 6 nominations with no major noms! (which I have a link to Wikipedia on there also)

[Impact]

I am tempted to add Cooper in.

(Which I love how the father of the real man mentioned that if it was anyone other then Eastwood directing he be very worried!)

I just noticed I have 4 noms for adapted and Unbroken as the alt

[Impact]

Still trying to work out who to put in acting. The tech cats I'm likely not to change given that anything could happen in those.

[CoolioD1]

btw since it's in everyone's predictions it turns out Whiplash is actually an adapted screenplay.

Thanks

(Now watch it not get nominated at all)

[Impact]

Trying to think what to replace with American Sniper on adapted now. I think I'll take out Wild. (Imitation Game seems like a lock there, while Gone Girl and Theory of Everything both seem safe. So does Whiplash)

 

And I think I'll add Nightcrawler on my original screenplay predicts.

Edited January 6, 2015 by Impact

[Impact]

I PMed mahnamahna earlier about having 5 alts in a cat as well as that Into the Woods is not on the makeup list as well as the songs he has. But still no reply. (A few weeks ago I sent it)

So what to do for points on that?

Well still a week away.

[Impact]

So what are other peoples nomination count based off of there predictions in this game?

Well I need to update my count.

And I'm trying to decide on either Cotillard or Aniston for the alt on actress.

[Impact]

Updating my predicts now, adding American Sniper in. Also added in Glenn Campbell on the song list.

[Impact]

I just hope Foxcatcher does not pull a Philomena and gets nominated

 

(No I'm not saying its a bad film or anything as I've never seen it-its just that Philomena was a film I had on my predicts forever until I got rid of it about a week earlier as well)
