Impact Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't think they would give the win to John Huston, especially since DiCaprio is overdue, but given the academy loves to snub DiCaprio I could totally see John Huston winning for The Other Side of The Wind as a post-humorous acting win. John Huston has been dead for a while.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Woah, when did Hail, Ceaser! get shifted to 2016? Just saw that on IMDB. Couple months ago. It was never officially a 2015 film 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Seriously look at Cranston He is the one who knocks for the OSCAH Cranston winning an Oscar would be so amazing. But if Leo turns in yet another award worthy performance then may the Academy members be violently smitten from the Earth if they don't finally recognize it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Trumbo has: The director of Game Change Cranston in his first lead role ala Cumberbatch in Imitation Game John Goodluckcharmman Mirren/Lane/CK/Fanning in a great supporting cast A movie about a Hollywood guy facing adversity from things now considered horribly outdated and horrendous It's Oscar bait 101, and I can't wait to see Cranston's performance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Apparently that Bryan Singer Broadway movie is in post-production now. Might end up being a player here just because the Academy loves musicals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 As far as this category goes I bet Inside Out and Good Dinosaur split the votes and neither get in. With Lego Movie's snub I've just about lost all drive to pull for any specific films at the Oscars. Ehhh... Good Dinosaur seems way too fluffy for a BP nod. Inside Out looks like classic Pixar. I see it being the blockbuster BP nominee if there is one. I will agree that the 2014 BP nods were missing some solid commercial hits. Gone Girl, LEGO Movie and GotG/Interstellar (either one) were all pretty easy blockbusters to choose. The Grand Budapest Hotel Nightcrawler The LEGO Movie Gone Girl The Imitation Game Selma Guardians of the Galaxy Whiplash Birdman But if LEGO Movie couldn't get one despite being the 2nd best reviewed film of 2014, Inside Out is sadly a longshot.

AniNate Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ehhh... Good Dinosaur seems way too fluffy for a BP nod. Even if that were the case, it has the later release date so will be fresher in AMPAS' minds. And I imagine humanity's relationship with animals will be a major theme of the story so I don't believe it will be as fluffy as you think.

Blankments Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 People told me the same about Boyhood last year. There's a major difference between Before Midnight to the max and The Artist 2.0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 There's a major difference between Before Midnight to the max and The Artist 2.0 But Wells is a legend and many consider citzen Kane the greatest movie ever made. If movie is well revived. I see it getting a nomination. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) There's a major difference between Before Midnight to the max and The Artist 2.0 I'd consider The Other Side of the Wind the Artist to the max. Instead of just being a nostalgic senback, it's an actually movie from a nostalgic director that never got much attention from the academy (or anyone) until after his career had mostly expired. Not only that, it will be the 100th Anniversary of Orson Welles, I don't see how anybody else can't see how this screams Oscar attention if they actually campaign it.

mahnamahna Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'd rather see Inside Out win Best Picture, but I doubt any G or PG-rated animated film will accomplish that feat. Beauty and the Beast is the closest any animated film has gotten to winning the big one (I'd guess only Lambs and JFK were ahead of it. TS3 was probably 5th or 6th. Up probably 6th or 7th). Either Inside Out or Hateful Eight - those are the two I'm rooting for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Under a unofficial rule-a film with George Clooney will be nominated this year for picture and a Black actress will win supporting. Just check every odd year since 2005 for the Clooney fact. Edited January 18, 2015 by Impact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Tomorrowland? but the coens movie getting an oscar-qualifying run seems more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray G Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'm fairly certain it's gonna be a Cranston vs. DiCaprio race next year I would say Cranston vs. DiCaprio vs. Hanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray G Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Tomorrowland? but the coens movie getting an oscar-qualifying run seems more likely. Coens will be up for Screenplay this year already for St. James Place, if it's good. Tomorrowland, I expect will be one of the year's best reviews blockbusters, but it won't be nominated. Now the big-budget film that I think might have an outside chance? Crimson Peak. Sure, a horror movie getting nominated is unlikely, but it has happened before - The Exorcist, even a winner in Silence of the Lambs - and Crimson Peak is a gothic period piece ghost story with an all-star cast. That's my dark horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I read the Crimson Peak script a while back and found it pretty mediocre, but I also totally dismissed Gravity's chances after reading that script a couple years ago SO DON'T LISTEN TO ME.
