Noctis Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 If there is any justice in the world, then DH2 will win this award. My God, how fucking overdue it's been for this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I think Hugo will win. Some of the snippets of stuff we've seen in the trailer = wow! Early reviews for the film seem to back that up. Plus Dante Ferretti is a very respected art director w/ ten prior Oscar nominations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Agreed about Hugo. Besides they owe it to him anyway, because in my opinion, Ferretti being snubbed for Shutter Island was an absolute crime. The Artist and War Horse also have a good chance.

RichWS Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 After seeing Hugo, I can't imagine it not winning. I'd be fine with that, because the work is absolutely incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 This is the only category in which I REALLY want Hallows to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Really? What about visuals or costumes? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 The series has only been nominated once for Costumes, even though DH1 should have easily gotten in. It wouldn't be fair if DH2 didn't get a costume nomination, especially after having seen the huge amounts of costumes used for over a thousand people, but Academy has never been fair regarding Potter, so I'm not expecting a nom. However, the series has been nominated three times for Art Direction (looking back, I'm at a loss for words as to why Prisoner of Azkaban and Half-Blood Prince didn't get one (Sherlock over it, really????) and with the momentum DH2 has so far, it does have a decent chance to win. The effort went into making these films is staggering. Did you know that Godric's Hollow in DH1 was ALL sets? Even the houses that were never entered. DH2 has spectacular sets. Gringotts, Room of Requirement, Chamber of Secrets, the tower with Helena, Shell Cottage, Boathouse, Potter's house, etc. Even if Hugo is just as deserving, it shouldn't win, because Potter needs to win not only for DH2, but for the rest of the series.

CoolioD1 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) No, I'm totally against that way of thinking. A movie should just win for the the merits of that movie itself. (even though that rarely happens.)Basically if Hugo has better production design it should most definitely win.

CoolioD1 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 And none of Stuart Craig's work is as good as Dante Ferretti's work on Gangs of New York. ALL of that shit was a set that was built. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
