riczhang Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Pi is more of a director's movie than SLP, and this is the director's branch voting for it after all. Plus, Ang Lee's cred is about 10x that of Russell's. So, I say it'd be Pi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best field we've seen in a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best field we've seen in a long time.Nolan, Boyle, and the Coens were all left out. Besides PTA's inevitable snub, I think there was more in 2010. I just hope acting noms gets Russell another nom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope acting noms gets Russell another nom. The coens got in. It was nominated for ten Academy Awards,[34][35] but won none: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor (Bridges), Best Supporting Actress (Steinfeld), Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing.[36] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Btw, anyone think Bigelow has a chance to win another one? Reviews so far seem to say its even better than Hurt Locker. And to anyone who's seen Hurt Locker, how good is it on a scale 1-10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'd say between 8 and 9. It's a great film. But Bigelow winning another Oscar so soon would be even more surprising than Hooper doing it.In 2010, Nolan, Boyle and Scorsese got snubbed imo. But The Fighter did very well at the box-office and came out almost a month later in the year than SLP, plus the performances Russell got out of Bale, Adams and Leo were even more impressive, I think, than his work with Cooper and Lawrence. Plus, it was a successful comeback for him after a 6-year hiatus, and Hollywood loves comebacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for her to win another one if it truly surpasses THL, but I really think it's Hooper or Affleck's to lose atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
