The Panda Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) The third best picture nominee Boyhood "I just thought there would be more." Honorary Nomination: Ellar Coltrane for Breakthrough Performance Tomatometer: 98% Box Office: 24.9 million Oscar Nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing Nomination Total: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Original Song (7 total) Boyhood is a stirring twelve year epic that is the epitome of the work of Richard Linklater's already masterful filmography. Boyhood follows the character of Mason, played by Ellar Coltrane, through shots and glimpses of twelve years of his life, and carefully weaves many small, touching moments to mold one of the most beautiful experiences that can be seen on film. With Boyhood, you never feel as if you are watching a film, but you legitimately feel as if you are watching a real person grow up and experience many of the same things everyone faces in life. Boyhood is a masterful cinematic experience that plays out like none before it. Edited January 31, 2015 by The Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Django Unchained "I like the way you die, boy." Honorary Nomination: The Acting Ensemble for Best Ensemble Tomatometer: 88% Box Office: 162.8 million Oscar Nominations: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Editing Nomination Total: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Action Film (5 Total) Django Unchained is a pulp filled revenge flick that serves up one of Quentin Tarantino's most invigorating cinematic recipes yet. Django Unchained follows a freed slave, named Django, and his freer, Dr. King Schultz, in Django's quest to rescue his wife out of slavery. Django Unchained is a film that is unapologetic in it's gruesome violence, language, and more comedic take on one of the darkest points in United States history. It is a film that never ceases to entertain with it's instantly classic dialogue, over-the-top action sets, and sheer thrill in a classic story done well. It serves up the best in the arthouse and mainstream genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Brief intro for this category, I am not necessarily giving the award (and nominating) based on the song that I like the best as a song alone, but also how well the song contributes to the impact of the film. (Notice there are no end credit songs here, but all songs that were integral parts of their respective films) Best Original Song "For the Dancing and the Dreaming" from How to Train Your Dragon 2 "I See the Light" from Tangled "Let It Go" from Frozen "Please Mr. Kennedy" from Inside Llewyn Davis "The Moon Song" from Her "Split the Difference" from Boyhood Winner "Split the Difference" from Boyhood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
