87TH ACADEMY AWARDS CEREMONY DISCUSSION THREAD AAAHHH! | Discuss It Live Here

[grim22]

Nightcrawler snubbed after it looked like it was building momentum in favor of American Sniper. Sniper may just be the spoiler when the awards are presented, especially if it manages to stay in the news with a good box office performance.

[#ED]

American Sniper is a GREAT movie.

[CoolioD1]

Cotillard's performance was the best of the nominees in ALL the acting categories. so yeah, it's pretty good.

[Hatebox]

Again, is Redmayne going to win Best Actor? I'm worried it'll only encourage more prestige biopics...

50/50 between him and Keaton. I'd wait to see who wins the sag award before I swing it in either's favour.

Pointless trivia time:
X-Men is the first film to start with the letter X to get nominated in any category!

[CoolioD1]

 

Only category I got 5/5 right in my predictions! Good line-up. Surprisingly I'd say Deakins work is the weakest.

[Blankments]

Interstellar does deserve the Cinematography nod over Unbroken I must say

[MrPink]

Shit I didn't even realize Oyelowo missed out on a nod

[#ED]

Btw, once again a Nolan movie makes the top 10 AFI movies list.

[grim22]

Shit I didn't even realize Oyelowo missed out on a nod

Once BAFTA didn't nominate him, he was always a long shot here.

[CoolioD1]

I'd say the three people in Best Actor who came really close to a nod and missed (Oyelowo, Fiennes, Gyllenhaal) all gave better performances than the five who were nominated.

[ChD]

People are going crazy over the Lego snub. No one expected a movie snub to break the internet.

[ecstasy]

Has Ralph Fiennes ever won an Oscar? Guy does great work.

[MrPink]

Once BAFTA didn't nominate him, he was always a long shot here.

God hates Nolan associated people today

[Hatebox]

Once BAFTA didn't nominate him, he was always a long shot here.

 

McConaughey didn't get a BAFTA nom last year either. Like Selma, Dallas Buyers Club didn't come to the UK until really late.
