baumer Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think Marigold Hotel is going to sneak in....I just have that feeling. So my nominations (assuming we have 7) are:ArgoSLPLes MizZDTMarigoldDjangoLincoln 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think Marigold Hotel is going to sneak in....I just have that feeling. So my nominations (assuming we have 7) are:ArgoSLPLes MizZDTMarigoldDjangoLincolnI agree w/ 7. Though I'd switch Best Exotic with Life of Pi.

baumer Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 You guys are probably right, but I just have that feeling that something like Marigold will surprise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 If The Intouchables hadnt bombed so hard in the US it would have had a chance at a BP nom, i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 We came quite close once quite some time ago. With what film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 With what film?Hoop Dreams from 1994. It by traditional logic would've made the BP list had there been 10 nominees, or the 5% rule. [10 nominee rule for sure, 5% is on more shaky ground] I would hazard a guess and say Inconvenient truth would've made a 10 nominee line-up as well.

Jack Nevada Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Bowling for Columbine was the best film of 2002, it should have got a BP nomination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Didn't F911 come close as well?That totally slipped my mind, yeah that probably would've made a 10 picture line-up. Maybe March of the Penguins as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 If I were going for 8 nominees I'd be predicting Best Exotic to make it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'd switch moonrise with marigold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Every year we have debates about the timing of movie releases but the truth is that movies like TBEMH and Moonrise would've been likely nominees if they were October/November releases. The timing matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'd switch moonrise with marigoldDon't think so. Marigold will get Brit support, and it got SAG which means that it has substantial support among the actors who treat this category often times like BP. (In 2003 3 nominees had 4 people or less in their "ensemble" ) Also, Marigold is much more accessible and Academy friendly than Moonrise.
