The Futurist Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I do get chills every time I see the trailer, so that's a good sign. I'm sure she'll win the Oscar.The scene where she sings live while crying, I mean come on, the thing is already in her bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm seeing "The Sessions" mentioned a bit in the acting threads but not here. Remember-the last film to win 2 acting Oscars without a pic nod was Hud in the 1960s. Now not saying it will be nominated, i just find this intresting.

Jake Gittes Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'd be surprised if both Hawkes and Hunt won. But we'll see how the buzz builds after release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Hawkes won't win. No chance at the moment. Edited September 17, 2012 by acsc1312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I didn't say they would win. But I was commenting on how I saw them both listed for nominations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Hawkers won't win. No chance at the moment.I'm so empathic about Amour being the best picture of the year, that I read your post as Haneke won't win, and I almost went nuts.

Impact Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 I should add that people are saying Hunt and Hawkes are frontrunners. So I'm just surprised that nobody has it in this thread. I don't know that much about the film though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Well, if the field turns out to be weaker than expected (or if the movie is really, really loved) I can see it following, say, a film like The Kids Are All Right to the BP nom. It also seems like a good contender for Screenplay in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that much about the film though Lots of films out there but no reviews yet. So hard to judge it's chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yep.Cold Mountain was a OC. Closer was a OC. Alexander was a OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Cold Mountain and Closer were nominated in major categories, so yes, they were Oscar contenders. Just not as big as most were expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webslinger Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 To be fair, though, I think Cold Mountain would have made the Best Picture cut under the current system. Its position as a prestige picture that was generally more admired than loved (and still snagged a few below the line nominations) is similar to that of War Horse last year.

CoolioD1 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Nominee announcement this year is on Jan 10th. Apparently this is the first time the nominations have been announced before the Golden Globes ceremony. I hope this means they'll eventually move the Oscars up a couple weeks as well.

Impact Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 It is possible then we could actually have the first winner for best drama not to be nominated for picture in 50 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
