Alpha Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Pretty interesting awards, especially MM:FR for Best Film. The Stallone win for BSA solidifies the Oscar talk as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 THE MARTIAN picking up some few awards bodes well for its Oscar chances, although it's already seen as a big contender. So that's not a big surprise (but still good news for it). FURY ROAD's win is utterly delightful, and that's what the movie needs if it wants to gain traction: some recognition to get people talking about it again. Good news for THE ROOM as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 While some people online are already saying "Well, Most Wanted Year won Best Picture and didn't get nominated, so Fury Road won't either!, it's really worth noting that until last year, every single NBR Best Pic Winner since 2001 has been nominated for Best Picture (and many of those in years of only five nominees.) So this really does bode well for MM: FR picking up a nomination for Best Picture. Pretty great awards generally. Very, very popular films being picked, and can't really argue too with a single one. I don't really GET the hype for Ridley Scott's direction of the Martian- it was an average direction of a good screenplay based off a terrific book, IMO- but if the Oscars looked something like this, maybe we could get one year without people whining "Wahhh the Oscars only nominate pretentious indie films"- while still also having great movies nommed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Wow, NBR was very populist this year. This is how well they typically line up with the Oscars: Picture: Haven't matched a winner since Slumdog Millionaire and last year's winner (Most Violent Year) wasn't even nominated. Not including this decade, on average they have 2-3 movies per decade that don't get nominated. Director: Their track record is very hit or miss here. The last three winners weren't even nominated and last decade they only got 2 winners and one nominee right (Scorsese for Departed was the most recent match). On average 2 directors match per decade and they've yet to be correct so far this decade. Actor: The winner is almost always nominated, so this is good news for Damon. Oscar Isaac missed last year while Michael Keaton didn't, and before that you have to go all the way back to 2002 when Campbell Scott wasn't nominated. For winners they've yet to be correct this decade, but on average they get 3-4 winners right per decade. Actress: Their track record this decade has been very spotty but Julianne Moore won last year. Typically the winner has almost never missed a nomination since the 70's and they get 3 winners right per decade on average. Supporting Actor: They have had a very strong record for nominations, missing only 6 since 1980 (2 being this decade). The bad news is they only get 2 right per decade on average, and two have won already this decade. Stallone will likely get nominated still. Supporting Actress: They have an awful record here, Jacki Weaver was the only NOMINEE they got correct this decade in 2010. They get 4 nominees on average per decade, and with how weak the category is JJL should be able to get in. Original Screenplay: Ever since the category started in 2003, they have only gotten 6 nominations and 1 winner right. A Serious Man in 2009 was the last nominee. Given how weak the category is, Hateful Eight should be fine for a nomination. Adapted Screenplay: Ever since the category started in 2003, only two movies have missed a nomination: Cold Mountain in 2003 and Painted Vail in 2006. This is a great sign for The Martian. They've gotten 5 winners right with the last one being in 2011. Edited December 1, 2015 by WrathOfHan 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Keep in mind that NBR is notorious for being biased for WB in how they pick their favorites. Cool pick up for Mad Max, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misafeco Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Last year: A Most Violent Year American Sniper Birdman Boyhood Fury Gone Girl The Imitation Game Inherent Vice The Lego Movie Nightcrawler Unbroken I bet half of the Top Films won't be nominated this year either.

LOL these awards are also notorious for being Eastwood biased as well. How else does one explain why Fury won Best Ensemble other than his son Scott having a supporting role in it? I bet Jersey Boys would've gotten in the top 10 despite its floppiness if American Sniper hadn't come out last year as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Well, there's no clear picture of how much those movies really screened for NBR members. They're both screening really late in the game outside of the DGA/PGA. Then again, so iss H8ful, and it got nominated. Also, how did Mad Max win best Picture and Miller NOT win Best Director? I know it's all a matter of opinion and stuff, but honestly, it seems pretty much impossible to separate Mad Max's greatness from it's direction. The direction is what makes it what it is in so many ways. The film's final product is as intricately linked to its direction as any movie in recent memory. I just don't follow the thought process where someone says "Yes, Mad Max is the best movie of the year, but the visionary director who MADE it the best movie of the year....is not the best director." But what do I know? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Looking at these awards, it's clear Mad Max: Fury Road isn't out of the Best Picture race yet. Similar to Inside Out, I think it's quite more than 5% of voters could place MM:FR as their #1 pick. It's in a much better position than A Most Violent Year was last year anyways. Other than that, I don't think the rest of the list for Best Films matter. There's hardly any chance of Sicario making it's way into the BP field, let alone Straight Outta Compton.

The Panda Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm still wondering if Star Wars has a chance. It isn't screening until late, but if its as giant as it's looking to be I wouldn't consider it out. Wont win anything from critics simply from not being screened.
