2015 Awards and Precusors (PGA NOMS ON PG. 10)

[Webslinger]

Attaway, Boston. 

 

I would say that I'm a little surprised that Spotlight didn't take the top prize, but then, the wounds of the scandal still aren't completely healed nearly 14 years later.

We should make a "Max Max gets best picture nomination" club. With the awards so far, I'm definitely in.

This is BOFCA, who are the junior pups.

 

Boston Society of Film Critics is the main group and they announce tomorrow I believe.

So yeah, junior. And do note that I have been pushing Stalloscar in the Creed thread before the forum caught on to the term.

[4815162342]

Tomorrow we get LA, Boston, and NY Online Critics.

Nominees for DC Film Critics. Not for nothing, but DC film critics are probably the most accurate by far of the early precusors. Looking through their history, they usually pick 4/5 nominees in each major category, and quite a few winners. Still take it with a grain of salt, but perhaps a smaller grain of salt, because they're pretty accurate (this is an unpredictable year, though).

As much as I love Creed and am happy for it, how does Anomalisa get in the top 10 of the year if Inside Out won Best Animated over it?

EX MACHINA in DC. Nice.

[4815162342]

Max gets 7 DC noms including Pic, Miller, and Furiosa.

[Cmasterclay]

DC usually gets at least 4/5 Best Pic noms, which is a good indication for either Max or Sicario, obviously. Sure, it's just one metric, but I do think both have a shot, actually. Max seems likely, at this point, but don't underestimate Sicario, which has shown up here and NBR. Like Jake Gittes mentioned in another topic, Sicario is the sort of movie that can get a ton of partisan number one support. It's about an important topic, showy performances, rising star director, and solid box office. With a good push, it can do some damage. 

[FilmBuff]

Just don't get the Mad Max love. It's incredible overrated garbage. Shouldn't be close to winning any of these categories.

You made a couple mistakes in that post, but I corrected them for you.  I can't believe Mad Max Might actually have a shot, this is amazing!

Did JOY not screen for the DC guys?

[The Panda]

Joy and Star Wars haven't screened from what I believe.  So it makes me wonder about their chances.

[4815162342]

LA will live tweet their winners/runners-up starting shortly after 1 PM EST

[Cmasterclay]

Boston Winners. They went for Spotlight, which isn't remotely stunning considering this is a bunch of Globe journalists. Interesting to see Dano at Lead. Mark just won at NY Online and was runner up in LA- he's rapidly becoming the favorite, though Stallone is doing great, too. Stewart starting to round into shape for a nom.

BEST USE OF MUSIC: Love and Mercy

[Jake Gittes]

After seeing Bridge of Spies I don't believe there's any way Rylance wins the Oscar. Even if we don't count Stallone, he's just way too subtle and restrained and doesn't have that much screentime even by "supporting" standards.

 

If Stewart keeps taking critics' awards, yeah, IFC should probably wake up and start doing some campaigning, if they aren't doing it already. 

[Joel M]

I really hope the rest of the critic groups make Kristen Stewart their cause to get her a nomination similar to Cotillard. Her performance is amazing.

 

Also I hope all the love Mad Max is getting is gonna boost Furiosa to a nomination.

[Avatree]

I don't really follow awards, oscars etc. so can someone explain something to me.

 

Who chooses what role an actor is going to be eligible for? (as in lead actor vs. supporting actor)

Because Rooney Mara keeps getting nominated for Supporting Actress in CAROL even though she is the protagonist in the film, the main character. And it's confusing.
