85th Academy Awards (24/2/13) Official Thread- TONIGHT!! NOMINEES IN THE FIRST POST

[Michael Gary Scott]

Errr.. its Jack, Michael. Not Tom.

Nice one

[Jake Gittes]

Am I the only one who found Amour to be incredibly beautiful to look at? I mean, camera movement was minimal, but the images were just incredibly composited, and the viewers eye has time to observe almost every detail of every shot because of the extraordinarily long shots.

I'm sure Riczhang disagrees...

Can't believe Django, apart from the obvious, has the lowest votes in the poll. So much more deserving than that.

[Jake Gittes]

I'm more surprised that Lincoln has the lead it does.

No. It's incredibly well shot. I nominate it.

[Gopher]

Weaver was solid in SLP. She's solid in everything. But one of the top five female supporting performances of the year? Hell to the no! 

[RichWS]

I voted for Amour, but I'd be totally cool with anything but Les Mis and SLP winning.

Yeah, it's hard to go wrong this year. There's no real use pondering 'what-ifs,' sure, but if they get on stage and go "And the Oscar goes to... AMOUR!" or and most of the country goes "WHAT?" that would be so awesome and deserving too. 

[baumer]

100% guaranteed Amour will not win BP99.5% sure Argo does

[fishstick]

Committing treason in Flshlandia is worth a Congressional Medal of Honor.

 

As if you`re going to drive to that one theater on LA playing that Shittfest to add to its miserable boxoffice.

 

WHY TOMMY WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? WHY ARE YOU COMMITTING A SELF SABOTAGE? BECAUSE WALTZ WON HARVEY-BOUGHT GOLDEN GLOBE??? SNAP OUT OF IT AND CAST OUT SHITTO! I`LL LOVE YOU AGAIN!

I wouldn't drive to LA for any film because it's 2,700 miles.

Weaver has more right to be there than "I`m acting in a separate movie" Anne-oying in LM. Fantine was in her own movie, didn`t support shit. Weaver supported the whole thing. He rperf didn`t boil down to one anguished song. Anne-oying should have been nominated and won for Catwoman.

My point exactly. You`re goading me although you don`t give a shit about Shitto. Tommy`s a traitor. End of.

I don't care about Otto. I care about TLJ and will defend him because he has more than earned the benefit of any doubt. If that means critiquing somewhat irrational Otto hate, I will.

Tommy`s duped into casting Shitto. I`m positive he wouldn`t if he heard her horrific Southern accent. We must save Tommy.

Totally disagree. Just like Selina Kyle, her character was integral to the story and she worked the hell out of it. I think she deserves what's coming to her. 

 

 

100% guaranteed Amour will not win BP

 

If we're talking absolutes, it's also 100% guaranteed Bradley Cooper doesn't win Best Actor. 

[Sims]

LOL, Weaver's nomination is just as big a joke as Arkin's. Is fishnets for real right now?

I`m for real. Weaver is the real deal, Arkin`s one of those gimmicky show stealing roles I was talking about.

Only Sith deals in absolutes.
