[JackO]

Got in top 8% on Gold Derby! 210/2457. Not bad for intensely following the race for first time.

With great Oscar nominations haul, SLP nationwide expansion is coming very soon. It may have a shot with $100 million now

It's coming next week.

Bitter much? Wow...STFU Marion.

I think that's just a joke, AD forums are like that

Harvey better get it out next weekend...he has to go wide. I know next weekend is kind of crowded but he has to get it out as quickly as possible.

2012 got snubbed? WTF?

Did you not know that? The earthquake and ground shattering California scene was one of the greatest visual scenes in recent memory.

[Jessie]

There was nothing great about the VFX in TDKR at all, TA, Promestheus, LOP, TASM, Total Recall, John Carter, Battleship and The Hobbit were all superior in that category so would the nolanties please talk sense.

Yea, how did Beasts get nominated for the two major awards and get left off in the category that even people like me who haven't seen it know was universally incredible?Lincoln is a lock to win, just like Benjamin Button.... oh wait. If Affleck had been nominated, Argo would still be the favorite. Because he wasn't, Lincoln still is, but Pi, SLP, Amour, and Argo still have solid shots. Lincoln is a great movie, but not a lock for anything.

Ok, sorry, I don't know these things.

Lincoln buzz has passed.All children have seen the movie during the Holiday season as homework.People REALLY intrested by the movie are too old to get into a theater.

:rofl:Nice. We need comedic interlude in between discussion. Lincoln will win big.

With JLaw's SNL hosting on the way as well and possible Golden Globes win, SLP is in for a good box office run. People who were complaining why SLP didn't get a wide release from the get-go will likely realize it was a wise decision from Weinstein since he let Les Mis and Django pass (and to some degree Zero Dark Thirty). Hate him or love him we can't deny how good he is as a strategist Edited January 10, 2013 by forg

Beasts didn't deserve its BP/BD nominations, probably not its Adapted one either. But I agree it got snubbed in Original Score.

Gotta disagree with you.

Yea, I've been critical of the decision in the past, but the Oscar nominations make it easier to sell, WOM is out there to build buzz, and it will provide excellent counterprogramming to the action and horror doldrums of January. It turned out to actually be a wise choice.

Benjamin Button had the most nominations, Slumdog had the second most. The films with the most or 2nd-most nominations win well over 90% of the time. So no, Lincoln is not locked. But its status as the frontrunner has not been affected, only that the films trying to pull even have shifted from Argo/ZD30/Les Mis to Life of Pi and SLP.

Where is Harvey ?Always a step ahead of us.

Did you not like SLP? You seem to have something against it.

[forg]

Since SLP is also a romcom it could likely do good business during Valentines Day as well

Dramedy is the word you are looking for here.
