baumer Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) No offense, b, but i dont think Marigold will not get absolutely any nominationsNone taken. But it's the kind of film the academy loves. British, old people, fish out of water and off the radar. I think it will get a best picture nomination. Just a gut feeling.

Dementeleus Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not to mention, it's a real crowd-pleaser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not to mention, it's a real crowd-pleaser.True, and one of the year's best, imo. Taking out BD2, which obviously has no traction with the academy, I have it as the fourth best film of the year behind Argo, SLP and Wallflower.

Jack Nevada Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ang Lee actually deserves the award. LoP was a work of a true visionary, and a true professional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will get a best picture nomination. Just a gut feeling.I agree. I've had Marigold at #10 for a while now in my predictions. It also got SAG, so we know that the guilds responded well to it. I wouldn't be surprised it if made the final line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloneWars Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I never see Tarantino getting an Oscar unless he does something very different that has no violence and bombs at the BO. lol I'm actually being serious here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see an honorary one either. They're just so anti-everything the academy likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think Fincher would've had a chance had he done Cleopatra. There's something up the Academy's alley.Anyway, I just came here to say that I REALLY REALLY hope the Academy doesn't award Hooper with a nomination. He basically ruined the whole movie with his horrendous directing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically ruined the whole movie with his horrendous directing.Hooper's still happening, IMO. The Brits and the Les Mis lovers will push him in. He's not a bad director per se, and he's one of the best actor's directors out there. He really connects with the actors and brings out of the world performances out of them, but his visual sense isn't always the bets. However, some scenes like Valjean in the mountains are among the best, if not the best of the year.And Fincher doing Cleopatra's essentially Fincher Oscar begging.
