Noctis Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm absolutely thrilled that Emma's getting attention. She really deserves it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 YES! My hometown continues the derailment of the Leo train!That`s sad because Waltz has no chance of winning and Leo`s role is riskier. But once the hype dies down and years pass people will appreciate Leo`s turn more. Just wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 San Diego winners announced tomorrow and they tend to be one of the more free-spirited critic groups. For example last year they gave Director to Drive, Actress to Brit Marling, Animated Film to Arthur Christmas, Ensemble to Deathly Hallows 2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) ZDT's sweep is more annoying to me because of the massive sense of THL deja vu that I'm experiencing. Do we really need to award Bigelow again for such a thematically similar film?Thank you!!! My point exactly. Why does this woman need to be showered with awards again for staying right in her comfort zone and doing what she did last time? I don't care how good it may be, and I'm positive critics are over praising it just like they did THL.

fishstick Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Thank you!!! My point exactly. Why does this woman need to be showered with awards again for staying right in her comfort zone and doing what she did last time? I don't care how good it may be, and I'm positive critics are over praising it just like they did THL.I can relate to everything you say but this is overpraise for patriotic reasons. critics aren`t imune to it, just like critics who obviously are giving TH a pass because they don`t want a stain in LOTR legacy are opting to submit mixed reviews as fresh. It`s true. And this is Bin Laden. That hits the spot.I relate to your rant because I think THL is one of the emptiest, most overrated movies I`ve seen but I can understand why they flipped for it. They want patriotic movies to happen because they are usually boxoffice poison unless it`s some really embarrassing piece of Americana popcorn. It`s liberal thing since most flim critics are liberal. lets have a balanced, low-jingioist take on current politics (aka opposite of how Tea Party propaganda would like it) and lets make it a hit. It also doesn`t help ZDT case that sweeps are annoying in general especially when nobody but critics saw the movie so they are,like, we know something you don`t and you just have to trust us.

TLK Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 People like different movies for different reasons. Patriotism is as good of a reason as any other. ZDT will not win Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival but AMPAS membership is overwhelmingly American so it makes sense that a movie like this may win Best Picture and Best Director at the Oscars.

riczhang Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 AFI MOVIES OF THE YEAR ARGO BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD THE DARK KNIGHT RISES DJANGO UNCHAINED LES MISÉRABLES LIFE OF PI LINCOLN MOONRISE KINGDOM SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK ZERO DARK THIRTY Surprised to see Les Mis in here as it is a UK production. (Though by definition if they included Les Mis, Skyfall should've made it as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I agree, Les Mis should be ineligible for an AFI mention since it's clearly a UK production. I wouldn't have figured Life of Pi to be considered eligible either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
