Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Anyways I think this year seems like the best year for Oscars.

Life of Pi seems like a good bet, the book was highly popular. Django should do well, even though Harvey could blind-side it and as a result it could miss a nomination, and LIncoln should at least do War Horse numbers. Argo I can see being a huge sleeper hit, and the trailer is amazing. Only one that probably won't make money is Anna Karenina. Also, I see Gatsby being nommed right now, the trailer looks amazing, and it's addicting, and it's gonna probably be a pretty big money maker come December.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I forget about Gatsby. I think the academy likes Jackson too much not to give The Hobbit a BP nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Gatsby looks like a disaster waiting to happen. That movie has never translated well to the big screen, Luhrman has only hit it off once with the Academy and critics, and the whole idea of a Great Gatsby movie in 2012 just feels outdated.Anyways I do agree this year has oodles more potential than last or several others with the BP noms being more mainstream and profitable. In fact I'd say the only "indie" that has a shot to win this year is The Master. Although that could very well be the one that does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I'd say the only "indie" that has a shot to win this year is The Master. Although that could very well be the one that does.The Master only really has three things going for it, PTA and the Star Cast, plus Harvey. The subject matter is extremely dark, and it is similar to There Will Be Blood, and No Country, so that could be a detriment, seeing as the Academy has gotten on the award the feel good movie train. However, this year after doing it for the past 3 years out of 4 could be looking for a change. And Gatsby looks to be very good and the trailer totally sold the movie to me 150%, it's typical Baz style, and takes getting used to, but it definitely looks amazing.

fishstick Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I don`t believe in TDKR noms, not with reviews that come with a reservation. Most of them are "best superhero movie ever" but they are not "best movie of the year so far" or bigger praise. So we are still largely within the genre in a race which favors non-genre movies. Especially sincePJ, who is AMPAS`s sci fi/fantasy Stephen Daldrey, also has his already awarded pony once again on the racetrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 How much money does Moonrise Kingdom have to make for this?It's still the highest rated film halfway through the year. I'm surprised not more people think it'll get a nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I thought TDKR was going to happen a week ago but after these good but not great reviews I really don't think it has much of a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 If TDKR's continues to get more negative reviews than TDK, and The Hobbit disappoints, then I say Avengers takes the token blockbuster nomination for the year. After all, every other movie that grossed 600m+ got a BP nomination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
