[acsc1312]

My rankings:

Boyhood

Whiplash

Birdman

Ithe Imitation Game

The Grand Budapest Hotel

The Theory of Everything

Haven't seen Selma or American Sniper

[Leyla]

Just vote for Jake in our BO awards please!

 

 

I am sad neither Force Majeure or Two Days, One Night got nominated for best foreign film. 

Cotilliard nomination is a bigger win for the film than a would be Foreign nod imo

[Empire]

Oh, and I am disappointed Nightcrawler got left out of BP & Jake in Best Actor.

[Mango]

Jesus, the only BP nom I've seen so far is Birdman. I haven't seen American Sniper so I can't comment on quality but it getting the nom over Gone Girl makes little sense.

[Noctis]

1. Paramount royally fucked Selma's chances. Picture and Song is so weird.

2. Cotillard? Fuck yes.

3. LEGO MOVIE SNUBBED?! WTF. WTF. WTF. BOXTROLLS GETS IN INSTEAD?! FUCK

4. American Sniper love is...insane.

[Avatree]

Wait, Lego Movie didn't get nominated for Animated Film?

 

WTF? How is that even possible?

[acsc1312]

I'm more pissed that the horrifically average Theory of Everything has coasted to a bp nom.

[Blankments]

The great thing is now "Everything is Awesome" will definitely win Best Original Song, because the Academy has to make up for snubbing LEGO.

Selma sadly

 

That said, I want the Lonely Island to win an Oscar soooo

[MovieMan89]

Just watched the trailer for Song of the Sea and dear lord does it look gorgeous. If the movie is half as good as the animation I can't be mad at it bumping LEGO. Although Boxtrolls has absolutely no business there over LEGO, so still no excuse for not nominating it really.

I agree, but I wanted both.

[Blankments]

Just wanna say that out of the BP noms I've seen, LEGO outclasses all except Boyhood

[Joel M]

from twitter: 

 

Selma's Best Picture nomination is the Academy's "but I have a black friend!"    

 

 

For me even more annoying from the Lego, and Gone Girl snubs was Cooper over Gyllenhall. But it's just typical for the Academy.

 

As long as Boyhood, Grand Budapest and Whiplash win everything they can I will be fine. I also hope Imitation Game is this year's American Hustle.

[Dementeleus]

I'm more pissed that the horrifically average IMITATION GAME has coasted to a bp nom.

[riczhang]

I'm more pissed that the horrifically average Theory of Everything has coasted to a bp nom.

 

Horrifically average? You mean terribly awful and boring right?

[CloneWars]

Honestly the only movie I could see beating Boyhood now is Imitation Game, which got all the right noms. but even that feels like a distant second.

GBH is in a much better position, but let's not kid ourselves, Boyhood is winning.

[ShouldIBeHere]

Let's hope Apes wins VFX. 

[Dementeleus]

I confess, I find LEGO's snub hilarious.

[Leyla]

Desplat double nom tho   lol I hoped he'd get triple but oh well   

[CoolioD1]

Selma sadly

Lonely Island aren't even credited as nominees. That's weird. I swear they wrote their part.

[riczhang]

GBH is in a much better position, but let's not kid ourselves, Boyhood is winning.

 

Still not buying the Boyhood win until it wins the SAG ensemble. Then I'll start believing this narrative is real or whatnot. I honestly still think that the guilds have a chance and a big chance of choosing another film to rally around.
