255? Pfft. No match for Fredrick Zoller...

 

Or Vasily Zaytsev

 

[The Futurist]

The Grand Budapest Hotel has the earliest release date of any Picture nominee since The Silence of the Lambs 23 years ago.

So happy the momentum lasted the year. I remember already resigning to the fact that it would be unfairly snubbed this awards season when I saw it last March because of its release date.

[The Futurist]

Once Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 passes Guardians of the Galaxy, 2014 will be the second year in a row the highest grossing film of the year didn't receive any Oscar nominations.

 

[CoolioD1]

Ethan Hawke actually is up to his fourth nomination (who woulda guessed?). But I guess you're only counting acting nods.

[MovieMan89]

Once Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 passes Guardians of the Galaxy, 2014 will be the second year in a row the highest grossing film of the year didn't receive any Oscar nominations.

 

Don't worry that will all change next year when Episode VII sweeps the Oscars and finally gains retribution for ANH.

I'm sensing a theme...

[Ethan Hunt]

Don't worry that will all change next year when Episode VII sweeps the Oscars and finally gains retribution for ANH.

:/

[Ozymandias]

Or Vasily Zaytsev

 

 

I wanted to like that movie but I'm now allowed to enjoy a movie about a soldier sniper killing people in a war.  These kinds of movies are evil and feed upon morally bankrupt societies... thanks to so many bloodthirsty savages, this latest one is gonna be a BO giant...

 

Don't worry that will all change next year when Episode VII sweeps the Oscars and finally gains retribution for ANH.

 

SW7 will be very lucky to get a nomination outside of technical categories.

[Chewy]

Oyelowo, yes

 

Gyllenhaal is a bit overrated IMO but then again he wasn't nominated for an Oscar so I really can't say that

 

I don't know how anyone could watch Nightcrawler and say his performance in that is overrated. I'm usually not a big Gyllenhaal guy but he was incredible in it

[MovieMan89]

In all seriousness, SW7 should have no problem getting a nom in the expanded BP category if it's as well received as Abrams ST reboot and is a huge blockbuster. I'm sure winning won't happen, but a nomination won't be a stretch.

[Empire]

I am predicting now it will get nominated for best picture. We will find out next year if I am wrong or not.

[Ethan Hunt]

Still don't think so.

[Chewy]

It's not rocket science. Selma got snubbed because it came out the year after 12 Years.

 

Seriously hope this is sarcasm

[The Futurist]

I am stealing those stats from the Awards Watch forum.

 

With Cotillard's and Witherspoon's second nomination, there are only 2 one hit wonder of the recent era : Halle Berry and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Nah, I don't think it gets a BP nom unless it's a really weak year.

[The Stingray]

I wish it were.

[Empire]

Nah, I don't think it gets a BP nom unless it's a really weak year.

I think it will sneak in in a strong year.

[MovieMan89]

Nah, I don't think it gets a BP nom unless it's a really weak year.

If it's universally liked and a huge hit, why wouldn't it though? It would be like Avatar and Gravity not making it. I think it will have to be a really strong year for it not to make it if it delivers in a big way.
