acsc1312 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Just saw The Sessions. Should definitely get Actor, supp Actress, script, and maybe best pic nominations. The audience ate it up. Great film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Skyfall just isn't an actors film, they won't warm to it or take it seriously.Support for Skyfall will come from the techs. Edited November 15, 2012 by pieman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Skyfall just isn't an actors film, they won't warm to it or take it seriously.Support for Skyfall will come from the techs.That's why I only said Dench. Dench is one of the old veterans, and I think she has enough prestige to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Also it probably is one of her last roles....sadly she is going blind so yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Also it probably is one of her last roles....sadly she is going blind so yeah.I know. It's so tragic. I just hope she can get a few more meaty roles before she goes blind. I heard she was returning for a sequel to Exotic Marigold hotel.

acsc1312 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I actually wish Dench would get a nom for Marigold. She was so sincere and natural in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I would think she has a better chance at a MARIGOLD nom than a SKYFALL one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I would think she has a better chance at a MARIGOLD nom than a SKYFALL one.She'll get the Skyfall one, simply because in Marigold I believe she's getting campaigned as lead so there's no chance of her getting in there. They'll probably throw her a nod in Supporting instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've heard the blindness discussion is over-exaggerated. "It's something that I have learnt to cope with and adapt to - and it will not lead to blindness." ~ Judi Dench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Just saw The Sessions. Should definitely get Actor, supp Actress, script, and maybe best pic nominations. The audience ate it up. Great film. Yup, The Sessions is the feel good movie of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Saw Lincoln last night. It's gonna be a huge player for sure. Now, can I see it winning? Possibly, though Les Mis is gonna have to not meet expectations. Argo is also gonna be a tough competitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I said I could "possibly" see Lincoln winning, though my feelings are a little more forceful than that. It certainly has the makings of a winner. I think it has a better shot being on top at the end of the race than Argo does, which is not to take anything away from that awesome film. Right now, it's all about Les Mis being the film we think it could (or should) be. I have a feeling Zero Dark Thirty will be good enough to score a nod, but winning is tougher to see. At least by this time next week, both films will have screened so we'll finally have a firm grasp on how things will shake out.My current rankings (I think the top five are in for sure):1. Lincoln2. Argo3. Silver Linings4. Les Mis5. Life of Pi6. Zero Dark Thirty7. The Impossible8. Amour9. Beasts of the Southern Wild10. Moonrise Kingdom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think it's entirely possible that Lincoln or Les Mis or even Zero Dark Thirty wins Best Picture but Affleck ends up winning Director because of the respect people have for him nowadays and they may not want to give it to Spielberg/Hooper/Bigelow again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splits only happen when the race is very, very tight. If one of the films like Les Mis emerges as the front runner then it'll get both BP and BD.

acsc1312 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hell, TSN couldn't even get a split. It's always good to see one, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 I have mentoined this before-but splits tend to happen when a director is overdue or is more known. Even when Hitchock and Copala lost but there films won picture.Only in 2000 was the lesser known director the winner in the split (at least among recent times) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
