CoolioD1 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 If we make a website for our critics group then people will think we're legit and sites like AD will post our winners. Maybe studios would send us all screeners. Holy shit, this is a great idea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I bet our results wouldn't even be that different in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 I bet our results wouldn't even be that different in the end.I'd expect Avengers or Batman would probably win best picture w/ us. Though it was cool/surprising to see that members here voted Drive as best movie of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It all depends on if we could release the fanboys in us and vote non biased. Maybe The Master could pull off an upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cloud Atlas and Perks would be big contenders with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Awards season here will be crazy. I'll run it next month so voters get a chance to see Django, Les Mis, ZDT and whatever else they have to catch up on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Lincoln and ZDT aren't coming here until January 25th. Flight and Cloud Atlas are feb releases. So I'm probably not gonna have seen every thing I wanna before voting on these BOT awards.... unless screeners leak online anytime soon.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 We should create a 'film critic group' here on the forums. How awesome would our picks be?What should we call our film critic group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 We should have a forum-wide vote anyway when Academy awards nominations are announced. It will be interesting to see how many winners the forum can correctly call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 I hate when critics groups announce nominees instead of just going straight for the winners. Like anyone gives a fuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
