Impact Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Though it is odd it is not on his picture predictions....I could see a film being nominated for director without picture. Remember some films like "Short Cuts" got one nomination and nothing else so there is one it could of happened to if there were 10 at the time.

riczhang Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 You should just put for what film Definitely, especially earlier this year when people were just putting down Anderson. It's like which one do you mean? Wes or PTA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was talking about Paul Thomas Anderson for RE5 DUH ;)I remember looking at my predicts from earlier in the year on BOM one time and was going "What film is that?" or even "who is this????" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 And IB was just downright stupid in parts. Was that suppose to be a serious or satire film? Derpty derp Quentin.Did people think IB wasn't a satire? My god. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Well, it did have a lot of serious moments, but I thought the dramatic and the satirical blended beautifully into a single whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I just realized I put my predicts for director and I had them already on the last page and yes they happen to be the same 5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I know the answer is obvious because they have their own category, but why don't directors win the award for BP? It's like for producers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I know the answer is obvious because they have their own category, but why don't directors win the award for BP? It's like for producers.Because the producers are responsible for getting the movie financed and made. So even though the film isn't necessarily their vision (assuming we're not talking about a director who is also credited as a producer), they did the work necessary for getting the film made in the first place.However, things get stranger in the Animated Feature category, where the award does go to the director.

riczhang Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) I know the answer is obvious because they have their own category, but why don't directors win the award for BP? It's like for producers.Well technically, the Producers are supposed to be the ultimate force behind driving a picture so they're getting rewarded that way. It stems I think from the Studio system of Hollywood, when the studios used to get the Oscars back when the studios controlled the entirety of Hollywood's direction, and were huge behind financing and getting pictures and projects of the ground.

JackO Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hooper, Affleck, Russell, PTA and Lee.Those are the same as my current gold derby predictions. Hooper only wild card since Les Mis still has chance to suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 PTA is in or it`ll be a huge scandal. His movie is best reviewed of the year so far and no small amount of praised is heaped on directing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 PTA is in or it`ll be a huge scandal. His movie is best reviewed of the year so far and no small amount of praised is heaped on directing.No it isn't.Beasts of the Southern Wild beats it in both RT percentage/avg. rating (86, 8.3 vs. 85, 8.0) and in Metacritic score (86 vs. 85).Looper beats it in RT percentage/avg. rating (93, 8.1 vs. 85, 8.0) and is just 1 point behind in Metacritic score (84 vs. 85).Moonrise Kingdom beats it in RT percentage/avg. rating (94, 8.1 vs. 85, 8.0) and is just 1 point behind in Metacritic score (84 vs. 85).A couple major awards contenders also beat it in both areas but they're unreleased so the sample size is small.

Travod Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The Master certainly is not the best reviewed of the year. Where did that come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 PTA is in or it`ll be a huge scandal. His movie is best reviewed of the year so far and no small amount of praised is heaped on directing.PTA's new film is divisive, to many it is the best film of the year, or near the top, but to equally nearly as many, it's shit, or it's just simply ordinary. That number in the academy will be reversed, and even more polarised. I expect the vast majority to hate it, or simply be indifferent, and the passionate support group it has will get it a BP nomination under the new rule, but BD is on the rocks.

I still have him in my five but I've had my first doubts about him in the past few days. Ultimately, his high status and pure greatness of the filmmaking probably makes him hard to ignore.
