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

[Michael Gary Scott]

The media seems to want a Riva win. They want a win for the ages because it'd make good stories, as Jennifer Lawrence winning won't sell papers. (her target demo diesn't buy papers or listen to the news)

This i agree with Riva would be the better story.

deniro hasn't won any of the major awards so how can he be the frontrunner for the oscar lol

 

it's between waltz and jones

 

I like how unpredictable this year is though. only best actor is a lock

Listening to the Life of Pi soundtrack now. it's really cool. I never really noticed it when I was watching the movie, which is good because it means it blended perfectly. Hope it wins.

Some of these are OK. They sound like the level of jokes u usually hear at the oscars. Liked the Anne Hathaway one.

I will probably listen through the Anna Karenina soundtrack tonight, because a lot of people are praising it but I barely noticed it when watching the film

It's brilliant. And the fact that you didn't notice it is a good thing probably.

[Jack Nevada]

Alexandre Desplat hasn't won an Oscar yet, right? Thats one of the two reasons why I think he's going to win for Argo

[fishstick]

Are we going to have a special thread for telecast?

I think we should keep it in this thread.

You just don't want people taking their business elsewhere.

 

A separate telecast thread is the norm.

[Michael Gary Scott]

You just want a high page count

[Jack Nevada]

Well, yeah.

Duh. Having a separate thread is probably a better idea.

[Jack Nevada]

Anyone can go ahead and make a separate thread as soon as they feel it is sensible, i guess

Locks are:

 

Argo:  best picture

DDL:  Best Actor

Hathaway: Best supp actress

 

Everything else is up for grabs imo.

I wasn't that much of a fan when I listened to the samples before seeing the film, but it's almost one of my favorites of all time now. Great great great score! It's been a really strong year in general, though the academy really fucked up the last 3 noms.
