riczhang Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Musicals don't win screenplay is the thing.Well this movie could break the record for most noms in the most categories, so it's not out of the question, and also it's the entire academy that votes, so if Les Mis really sweeps, then I can totally see Academy members going, "Well, I'm voting for Les Mis in a lot of categories, and it's got a boatload of noms I might as well just throw Screenplay in there." It's kind of like how Hugo won 5 awards in the techs last year. But, with that being said, I'm not predicting it for a win, I'm thinking:1. Argo2. Les Mis3. SLP (It's too light, and not what I think the Academy loves enough for it to translate to wins anywhere except weakass Actress, and even there I'm thinking she probably will end up getting upsetted.)4. Lincoln5. Anna Karenina (Having read the screenplay, and seen the movie, I can totally seeing this get in, it's really a prestige pic) Edited October 22, 2012 by riczhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) I guess Argo, SLP and Lincoln are pretty much locked here. With two spots left, I'd just like them to not nominate Les Mis at all and go with Killing Them Softly and The Perks of Being a Wallflower instead. In reality, though, I'll have to be very happy if even one of them makes it... and even then, it will need to upset Anna Karenina, Life of Pi or The Sessions for the fifth spot. Damn.

RichWS Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'm sensing it comes down to Kushner for Lincoln and Terrio for Argo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 This is a very close 3 way race. Argo vs. Lincoln vs. Silver Linings Playbook. I would actually give the edge to Silver Linings Playbook because it is the kind of angsty realistic dramedy that always does well in the screenplay categories.

JackO Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Took out Beasts for Life of Pi since I think it will have BP/BD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm crossing my fingers for Perks. It's starting to get some traction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 It's be nice for Perks to get some love but the reports of quite a few Academy members coming out of screenings telling others not to bother with the film is concerning to say the least.

forg Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yes, Perks! I'm still not raising my expectations that high in case Oscars snubbed Perks! It happened to me with 500 Days of Summer but I'm really happy it got the WGA nod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
