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

[Blankments]

The sudden arrival of an actual race in Best Actor would be thrilling for me if Jackman had a chance.

[Noctis]

The best film of the year didn't get a single nomination. Utter blasphemy that it didn't even manage a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination.

[CJohn]

I just got home from seeing Silver Linings Playbook and I have never laughed so much with the Oscars nominations like this year. Seriously, fuck you Academy.

Burton says with a gun pointed at his head.

I'm calling it (again). SLP will get big 5. It's gonna break out like crazy after all these nominations and the academy won't ignore an audience favorite. Lincoln will get some techs to start off the night like Hugo did last year, but that's it. Weinstein gets three in a row:circles:

How was the film? I'm seeing Reacher in 5 minutes

[Noctis]

Gah, it's aggravating to see Perks snubbed completely.

Loved it. Best romantic comedy/drama I have seen in years. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper deserve those nominations and I hope SLP wins the big one. Edited January 10, 2013 by CJohn

I really hope PSH wins SAG and the oscar. I just wanna see the look on TLJ's face

Yeha, I don`t know why pundits call Linc vs Pi race when SLP is obivously a huge breakout here. It scored every single big nom - BP, BD, BS, BA, BA, BSA, BSA, BE

[The Dark Alfred]

Lincoln is going to sweep. SLP has 8 noms, which is truly impressive, but how many cats does it have a shot to win?BP - can happenBD - Russell won't upset Lincoln, even if SLP wins BPBest actor - very unlikely that Cooper beats DDLBest actress - JLaw has it in the bagBest supp. actor - it's anyone's game, but realistically De Niro is behind Jones and Hoffman and I'd say even WaltzBest supp. actress - it's Fields vs. HathawayBest adapted screenplay - I still think it's going to be Lincoln, but Russell might win this oneBest editing - no chanceSo it has a realistic shot at 5 cats and 2 of them are very unlikely. I think the best case scenario for SLP is 3 wins, screenplay, JLaw and either Cooper or De Niro.

What a fucking joke, apparently ZDT, Argo, Django made themselves. Bigger morons that vote for the Academy or for baseball's HOF?

Too too bad about Bigelow snub but I'm over the moon for SLP love. Imagine if it sweeps acting, BP/BD??? I guess Best Actor and Supporting Actress will be the toughest of those but Actress is looking more and more likely, and Supporting Actor is a strong possibility too.

Yeah. I can't believe they're going to award the oscar to Tommy Lee Jones with a wig playing Tommy Lee Jones in real life.

Is Kargar saying that? Because if he is, then he knows something we don't and you'd better believe him. That guy's a fucking psychic, Weaver, Sydow, ELAIC, and all the weird noms every year he calls.

[Gopher]

The saddest part about the possibily of Weinstein winning for an okay movie the third time in a row is that he had truly great movies (The Master, Django Unchained) that will likely go unrewarded.#TeamLincoln

[GiantCALBears]

SLP is nothing special, neither is Lincoln. In my opinion the Academy is a total joke, watch this years ratings tank.

[cozmeesah]

I've seen several people say that today. However, it's kind of silly. Not that I agree with some of the snubs. But, with up to 10 BP noms and only 5 BD noms you are always going to say that about 1-5 films per year. They can't all be nominated for both.

[acsc1312]

Like I said before, Weaver's nom is the most indicative of the SLP love at this point. Also the fact that Russel got in over BOTH Affleck and Bigelow is huge ( I know zeitlin was probably the last nom, but still)

[RichWS]

Watch this years ratings tank.

Doubt it.
