Sims Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 None of these overblown blockbusters is making it in, so there's no point in arguing over it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Flight's pretty much out. Hasn't shown up anywhere, and the movie is a bit of a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloneWars Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I am going with:Locks:ArgoLincolnSLPZDTDjangoLes MiserablesAnd, if more than six make it in, in this order here are my predicts7. Skyfall8. LoP9. Beasts10. MoonriseI think we will get 7 nominees and LoP will miss and Skyfall will cause an upset. But, maybe we will get 8. Either way, if we get more than 6 nominees, I am predicting for Skyfall to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 I would love Skyfall to get in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I wonder if by this afternoon they knew that they were going to have SF as a BP nominee, and that's why they announced that they're doing a Bond tribute. It'd be kinda awkward if they did the tribute by SF wasn't nommed in BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically, they may not know the nominees for certain until they're announced live. Edited January 5, 2013 by 4815162342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherak knew by the Monday ( I think that's what he mentioned in an interview) before nominations last year where they drew movies out of a hat to determine the order in which to announce the nominees. That theory was kinda grabbing at straws anyways. They must be feeling good about a SF nom though if they're doing a tribute, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) EW's Oscar predicts as posted on ADF. I'm not sure who wrote the article in the issue, so I can't be sure how extensively they talk to insiders and how much stock to take in this. But, I do like the look of some of these nominees. Actor:Cooper - Day-Lewis - Hawkes - Jackman - WashingtonFor Your Consideration: Jack BlackActress:Chastain - Cotillard - Lawrence - Riva - WattsFor Your Consideration: Quvenzhane WallisSupp. Actor:Arkin - De Niro - Hoffman - Jones - WaltzFor Your Consideration: Javier BardemSupp. Actress:Adams - Field - Hathaway - Hunt - SmithFor Your Consideration: Nicole KidmanDirector:Affleck - Bigelow - Hooper - Lee - SpielbergFor Your Consideration: Paul Thomas Anderson / Michael HanekeOriginal Screenplay:Amour - Django Unchained - Looper - Moonrise Kingdom - Zero Dark ThirtyFor Your Consideration: FlightAdapted Screenplay:Argo - Beasts of the Southern Wild - Lincoln - Perks of Being a Wallflower - Silver Linings PlaybookFor Your Consideration: Life of PiPicture:They have a picture that seems to suggest: Amour - Argo - Les Miserables - Life of Pi - Lincoln - Silver Linings - Zero Dark ThirtyThe article says they expect there to be 10 nominees, and adds Moonrise Kingdom, Beasts of the Southern Wild and Best Exotic Marigold Hotel to that list.For Your Consideration: Django Unchained / The Dark Knight Rises / SkyfallI'm slightly surprised that they aren't predicting Django for BP and no DiCaprio. :kane: And FYC looks more like next in line as well, cus no one would think that Flight had a FYC worthy screenplay. That was a mess. Edited January 5, 2013 by riczhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forg Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Overratedness (is that a word ?) is overrated. True. "Overrated" is one of the most overused word in the Internet age that it kinda lost its meaning Edited January 5, 2013 by forg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) If for some odd reason we were to get 10 nominees this year, I think they would go back to just making it 10 and not some number from 5 to 10. That would make 2011 an oddball year with 9 nominees. Otherwise, I think they will stick with the system they have for at least one more year. Most likely longer. In the long run, I wouldn't be surprised to see them make the amount of nominees limited to 7. Edited January 5, 2013 by CloneWars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
