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

[CJohn]

Just arrived from Lincoln. Wasn't expecting to like it but I did it. It is a shame that Spielberg had 3 good chances to end the movie but that thing justs keeps moving foward.

Goddammit, I havent seen all the nominees yet after all. I forgot about Mirror Mirror, which is nominated for costumes. I guess I have to watch this shit.. Luckily its on Netflix

[CoolioD1]

Mirror Mirror is better than Snow White & The Huntsman. Neither are good though. So um, enjoy that. The costumes are really spectacular though.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Both are shit

[dashrendar44]

It's like saying dog poo is better than horse doodoo.

[Jack Nevada]

Oh god this movie is so awful. Nathan Lane and the admittedly fabulous costumes are the only bright spots about this crap

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Argo sweeps. Well, if you count winning 7 awards as a sweep.

You mean you think Alan Arkin is gonna win?

At this point, anything is possible. I honestly have no idea who wins Supporting.

I think it's between TLJ, Waltz and DeNiro. Even if they love Argo I can't really see Arkin standing a chance.

[Sims]

Why do people keep insisting De Niro has a chance? He's won nothing. Hell, Hoffman's a bigger potential threat.

Now that we're gonna get a BP/BD split this year, Sasha brings up a good point. Just because there's a split this year, and because Argo defied the Driving Miss Daisy precedent, doesn't mean that it will happen every year. We're gonna get 5 years in a row of people insisting that we'll get a BP/BD split because of this. It'll be like TKS vs TSN all over again because "Oh, well they awarded the feel good movie "Crash" and awarded the respected director "Lee." " 

[DAR]

I think if Arkin wins then Argo is pretty much going to win the night

[Gopher]

I can think of 50 more deserving wins for Best Supporting Actor this year than Arkin. 

[DAR]

I'm not saying he deserves I thought Goodman was better from that film.

[riczhang]

Luckily Arkin's not winning.

[DAR]

I haven't seen the other films but from what I've heard he's not going to win. What I'm saying is if he does when then expect to hear Argo's name a lot that night

Yeah but that's only happen if we see a sweep on the scale of the ones of an older academy, the ones they liked giving to Epics. In other words it's not happening.

[Impact]

Though Argo will need to win screenplay-remember it needs to win one other major Oscar to win picture. Screenplay is what it is depending on. And since Chariots of Fire, only Crash has won picture without winning director or an acting Oscar.

[DAR]

I know there different awards show but the Grammy's > Oscar's
