GiantCALBears Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm tempted to say Argo's moving into frontrunner status.Lol I love these statements with no basis, support the claim please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Lol I love these statements with no basis, support the claim pleaseUm, did you see the BAFTA nominations? They went crazy for the movie. Ben Affleck for Best Actor!? Snubbing Spielberg? I don't want Argo to win by any means but it certainly appears to be in at the very least third place behind Lincoln and ZDT.

Jack Nevada Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think Mirror Mirror will get a costume nomination at the Oscars, but lets face it:that award has been locked for Anna Karenina ever since the movie got announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a WTF only at the BAFTAs nom in acting each year that doesn't mean anything in the end. This year it's obviously Affleck.

Most of the time they go with the majority of other film award groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think it would be a goddamn shame if Marigold Hotel got a BP nomination at the Oscars instead of Moonrise Kingdom or Beasts.IT WASNT THAT GOOD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that nomination as well. I too think Argo is the frontrunner this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Maybe Skyfall. I feel it's between those two. The Academy is in love with 3D cinematography.

CoolioD1 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 A lot of people have been digging it. I don't think Argo is entirely unlikely for a nom there.BTW Cinematography guild announces their nominees later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Am I the only one to notice the lack of new fresh blood at the Oscars this year or is it alaways like this ?All Oscar movies are made by respected filmmakers who already won or at least got nominated.Affleck is the only Oscar virgin.Where is the new generation ???
