Impact Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It's nice to know dicaprio's win is "obvious" 13 months in advanced. watch him not even get nominated. He was going to win for Django also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I predict Tom Hardy win get his first Oscar Nomination and Leonardo DiCaprio his first win, both for The Revenant. So basically Leo's not even gonna get nominated Every time we peg him to win, he seems to never get nomianted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryallen30 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) It's nice to know dicaprio's win is "obvious" 13 months in advanced. watch him not even get nominated. I say that because he's been making the rounds for awhile. Whether or not he delivers the best performance, I think he will win for 2015. The film is getting a lot of buzz already. Hollywood wants DiCaprio to win at some point - even if he isn't the best of the year. For the record - I'm not a big fan of his. Phoenix for Her >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DiCaprio for WOWW. A lot of it boils down to the predictability of the politics behind who gets nominated. Edited February 7, 2015 by coryallen30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryallen30 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Kidman is out for Queen. I was expecting this to happen sadly. http://www.indiewire.com/article/berlin-review-why-queen-of-the-desert-starring-nicole-kidman-is-werner-herzogs-worst-movie-in-years-20150206 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Alicia Vikander has already made my best performance of the year in Ex Machina. If Tulip Fever is good then I'd love her to win. Btw Panda, Light Between Oceans is set for 2016 not 2015. I really have no idea what or who could win the awards tbh, though I expect Star Wars to win VFX, sound editing would be nice too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 LOL I love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler but let's be honest now: they aren't getting anywhere even close to nominated for Sisters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray G Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 LOL I love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler but let's be honest now: they aren't getting anywhere even close to nominated for Sisters. Definitely not in lead actress. There's a history of some comedy performances getting supporting nods, like Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder and Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids. But it's a long shot either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) It's a lot more fun for me to think of this as just predicting what will be the film buff consensus best in each category, not whether the Oscars will actually nominate them or not Best Picture The Avengers: Age of Ultron The Good Dinosaur The Hateful Eight Inside Out Joy The Revenant Sicario Star Wars: The Force Awakens St. James Place That's What I'm Talking About Best Director JJ Abrams - Star Wars Alejandro G Inarritu - The Revenant Richard Linklater - That's What I'm Talking About Steven Spielberg - St. James Place Quentin Tarantino - The Hateful Eight Best Actor Leonardo DiCaprio - The Revenant Michael Fassbender - Steve Jobs Joseph Gordon-Levitt - The Walk Jake Gyllenhaal - Demolition Tom Hanks - St. James Place Best Actress Emily Blunt - Sicario Jennifer Lawrence - Joy Julianne Moore - Freeheld Natalie Portman - Jane Got a Gun Meryl Streep - Ricki and the Flash Best Supporting Actor Alan Alda - St. James Place Bradley Cooper - Joy Benedict Cumberbatch - Black Mass Bruce Dern - The Hateful Eight Ken Watanabe - The Sea of Trees Best Supporting Actress Annette Bening - Danny Collins Marion Cotillard - MacBeth Nicole Kidman - Lion Rooney Mara - Pan Naomi Watts - Demolition Best Original Screenplay The Good Dinosaur The Hateful Eight Inside Out St. James Place That's What I'm Talking About Best Adapted Screenplay The Avengers: Age of Ultron In the Heart of the Sea The Revenant Spectre Steve Jobs Best Animated Feature The Good Dinosaur Inside Out The Little Prince Shaun the Sheep When Marnie was There Best Visual Effects The Avengers: Age of Ultron Midnight Special Pan Star Wars: The Force Awakens The Walk Best Production Design Pan The Hateful Eight The Revenant St. James Place Star Wars: The Force Awakens Best Original Score Roque Banos - In the Heart of the Sea Alexandre Desplat - The Light Between Oceans Michael Giacchino - Inside Out Thomas Newman - The Good Dinosaur John Williams - St. James Place Edited February 25, 2015 by tribefan695 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Got the feeling John Williams might just win for Star Wars if the score is at least on the level of what he did on the prequels. He hasn't won in 22 years and he's turning 83 this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I don't know if Star Wars will be eligible, though I've given up trying to figure out what constitutes an "original" score at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Star Wars have been always eligible. Why wouldn't it this time? There will undoubtly feature a lot of new themes and musical achievements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Crazy year. Full of great directors with great Oscar past: Spielberg, Zameckis, Tarantino, Iñarritu, Van Sant, Scott, Howard, Boyle, O'Russell, Malick, Valleé, Del Toro, Stone, Hooper, Levinson... It's going to be a bloodbath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 He wasn't nominated for any of the prequels, despite Episode 1 having the iconic Duel of the Fates. I assume the Oscars altered their rules between Return of the Jedi and Phantom Menace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Strong bets on paper St James Place - Spielberg + Hanks + Cold War + Coen bros = obvious biggest pre-contender Joy - O'Russell + JLaw + Cooper + De Niro + Madsen + inspirational theme + December opening = strong chances The revenant - Iñarritu + DiCaprio + possible big BO in January + true event + December opening = solid pre-contender Wouldn't be surprising In the heart of the sea - Ron Howard knows very well how to score with AMPAS. And story is powerful. Hateful eight - Tarantino is a well respected auteur. Great cast and schedule will help. The walk - Zemeckis almost always delivers great films. The story is a sum of strong Oscar bait points. Be careful with The sea of trees - Gus Van Sant + McConaughey + Watanabe Demolition - Jean-Marc Valleé + Gylenhall + Watts Carol - Todd Haynes + 1950 lesbian drama + Blanchett + Mara And there's also... Inside Out / The good dinosaur - be careful with Pixar! But animated? Snowden - Stone doing what he does best. But too controversial? Steve Jobs - Boyle and great casting. But another biopic? Who knows? The martian Southpaw Suffragette The new Woody Allen film Everest Crimson Peak The Danish girl Spectre Ricki and the flash That's what I'm talking about Knight of cups 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the Oscars altered their rules between Return of the Jedi and Phantom Menace. He wasn't nominated for TPM because he was already nommed for other score, Angela's ashes, because the movie had weak responses, and because the movie was released in May. Too early. Also, the original CD was a mess and did no justice to the full great score Williams had composed. That year American beauty, Red violin and Cider house rules were locked to get a nom, for different reasons. I think for the 5th slot there was a close race between TPM, Sixth sense, Snow falling on Cedars, Sleepy Hollow, The green mile and Talented Mr Ripley, that got finally nominated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
