mahnamahna Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The LEGO Movie and Marvel for BP? What's wrong with LEGO Movie? It deserves a BP nod over Imitation Game, Theory of Everything, Sniper, Into the Woods and other Oscar bait. It's easily the most original and inventive major blockbuster of this year - and honestly the most fun I had with any film this year. It deserves its spot in a list of 10 nominees. GotG is pretty inventive, too. It also deserves some recognition. I would be more upset with Interstellar getting a BP nod than GotG or LEGO. At least those two got critical acclaim. Interstellar had relatively mixed/middling reception. Cap 2 doesn't deserve a BP nod, though. It would be 13th or 14th on my list of potential BP nods. If I had submitted a ballot (got distracted by school ,work, etc): The LEGO Movie Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Boyhood Birdman Selma Guardians of the Galaxy Gone Girl Whiplash The Grand Budapest Hotel The Fault in Our Stars/Edge of Tomorrow (would be happy with either) I don't get the hate for LEGO, though. Easily has more critical acclaim than every major Oscar nominee except Birdman and Boyhood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Glad Leviathan isn't there. I was pulling for it before I saw it. I know it plays somewhat differently outside Russia but I couldn't believe how bad it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvikk Lunsj Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Jesus Christ, was there a category that Coolio didn't bitch about? I love you man, but damn. You're like the resident hipster now. He kinda like the Ann Hathaway of the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 For the record: BEST PICTURE (10) Calvary Force Majeure Foxcatcher God Help The Girl Jodorowsky's Dune Inherent Vice Nightcrawler Noah Only Lovers Left Alive Two Days, One Night Citizenfour would be in over Nightcrawler but I saw it literally hours after I voted. Vice, Calvary and Nightcrawler came very very close. Cap just had one more #1 vote that put it over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Vice, Calvary and Nightcrawler came very very close. Cap just had one more #1 vote that put it over the top. I think that is where the problem happened. Some people sent in ballots in alphabetical order instead if ranked. It was never stated we had to rank our noms. I did, but I think some didn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never stated we had to rank our noms. I did, but I think some didn't. Precisely. Mine weren't ranked for any category. I just wrote them down as they came to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 ... we were supposed to rank Best Picture? No wonder Whiplash wasn't nominated; everyone would've put it 10th anyway. Sending in my ballot now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Vice, Calvary and Nightcrawler came very very close. Cap just had one more #1 vote that put it over the top. Were these supposed to be ranked? I listed all my votes alphabetically. Still, I voted for Cap and Vice. 4 /10 of mine for Best Pic. - Cap, GBH, Birdman and Selma I wish Vice had made it (I nominated it for I think seven categories) Though I voted for Russo I disliked Nightcrawler so I'm not sorry it was bumped out of the top 10. I'm disappointed but not surprised to see Pride didn't even make Best Comedy when it was also one of my Best Pic Noms. But happy for the noms for Snowpiercer, Ida and cinematography and score for Under Her Skin.
