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

[RichWS]

Riva will win. I get the sinking, sickening feeling that Life of Pi borefest will end up with the most win. It's locked to win 3 tech award and it might as well win Best Director, too.

 

I've got it winning six.

From ADF's personal Dame Leogend impersonator:

 

Dame Leo SICKENED,

First O'Russell gets got red handed with a look of disgust when Madame Riva won BAFTA. Now Kevin Costner gets caught red handed sleeping during her speech! Who knew Madame Riva could provoke such RUDE reactions!

TLJ was probably like

The best thing about the cesars was that Argo won Best Foreign Film. What can that muthafucking thing lose?

[MovieMan89]

The screenplay of Life of Pi is the worst by far!

Have you read the book? It's an outright miracle they were even able to adapt a coherent film screenplay for it, let alone one that worked. I don't think it's the "best" of the bunch, but it's easily the most impressive and that counts for soemthing.

You finally came to your senses and changed the movie before 89. And avatar/sig.

Charming little bit from THR's lovely 2000 word profile on Riva published over the weekend.
 

And what of the Oscar nomination and potential to make history with a win at the Oscars, for which she will soon be flying to Los Angeles? When the nomination was announced, she says, "Everybody around me was so excited, and they were dancing and yelling, and I am just calm about this. I think that it's a wonderful thing to be nominated, and if it happens, that will be great. It will be a great surprise for me. But if I don't win, then that's the way it's going to be." After a brief pause, she adds with a giggle, "But now, if I do win, it would be a very nice thing, and I'll be just like a little girl, completely surprised and completely thrilled!"

And in other news. Haneke's just arrived in LA, and Riva arrives tomorrow.

 

Lastly, just a fun fact. Amour is only the second film in Cesar history to have picked up the big 5, Picture, Director, Lead Actor, Lead Actress, and Screenplay. The first was Francois Truffat's Last Metro in 1980 at the 6th Cesars.

I'll be disappointed with the first two. But, I have absolutely nothing invested in the Supporting Actor category. I thought De Niro was nothing spectacular, TLJ was TLJ in a wig, Waltz was Hans de-nazified, Arkin's nom was barfworthy a complete waste of space, and PSH was the only one I really liked out of the 5 and he has no chance of winning.  

[Dementeleus]

I confess, I'm kinda tired of JLaw just from her constant cheerleaders here.

Amen. I have no problem with her, but some people are simply overbearing in their incessant praising. We get it. You REALLY, REALLY like her.

So true. At least it isn't as bad as ADF's Michael Bay who's Pro-JLaw and Anti-Riva crusade is just ridiculous. Or IMDB's Madness.
