ChD Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) If I want a movie to enter the Best Picture and surprise everyone it's either Walter Mitty or The Fifth Estate Edited August 27, 2013 by ChD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I really like the predictions done by Nathaniel Rogers in thefilmexperience.net He recently updated his predicts. As he says, there are 20 films in the conversation. Meh. I think he's got it all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Meh. I think he's got it all wrong. I've been following his predictions since 2001. Believe me. He's not that wrong. The first time I read anything about Slumdog, Hurt Locker or The Artist it was thanks to his rankings. He even put The Artist as the frontrunner since April.

He has all the right movies, but it's all in the absolute wrong order. And, I've been following the Oscar race for about that long, and I'm decently connected with the oscar world. I will just say that his predictions are not ones that I value a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his choices, I'm not sure of Dallas, foxcatcher and her. The rest is looking very solid IMO Edited August 28, 2013 by stripe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 What's your order? From his choices, I'm not sure of Dallas, foxcatcher and her. The rest is looking very solid IMO This was from a few weeks ago: 1. Inside Llewyn Davis 2. August: Osage County 3. The Wolf of Wall Street 4. American Hustle 5. The Monuments Men 6. Philomena 7. Gravity 8. Le Passé 9. All is Lost 10. Fruitvale Station Now, I'm thinking: [*]Inside Llewyn Davis (This is my NGNG) [*]August: Osage County [*]American Hustle [*]Gravity [*]Lee Daniels' The Butler (Le Sigh ) [*]Rush [*]All is Lost [*]Le Passé [*]The Wolf of Wall Street [*]Saving Mr. Banks Most substantial change are the drops for Wolf and Monuments. I just don't have a lot of confidence in any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I do think All is Lost will be nominated if Redford does win as I can't see it being in any other cats (Wont be in screenplay). And this comes into play-only King of Scotland won best actor without being nominated in any other cat. (Excluding the first year, where the winner won for 2 films) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) From August 10th: Since you have to search in order to quote something instead of just quoting what was said when you quoted it, I'm just copying and pasting what I put earlier: Impact, on 10 May 2013 - 9:03 PM, said: Impact, on 08 Jun 2013 - 4:40 PM, said: Okay I think Grace will be there considering it had the lucky release date that the recent Weinstien films have had. I know I have more posts on here about my picks-but I'm not going to search the entire thread Monument Men and Gravity are also possible. _____________ Right now my predicts are: Blue Jasmine The Counselor Grace of Monaco Monument Men Saving Mr. Banks Wolf of Wall Street Some movie that came out already that made about 1M (seems to be a trend) Some film nobody knows about yet And another film Current: Before Midnight Blue Jasmine The Counselor Grace of Monaco Inside Llewyn Davis The Monuments Men Saving Mr. Banks Wolf of Wall Street And dang you can't even read my old posts with this dang quote thing on here... There were some other films I was thinking of.... ___________________________ Sorry I hate the quote thing so I did that instead. I am thinking of a new set right now. Currently I would not be surprise if Scott win director though. Edited August 29, 2013 by Impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 If reviews are great, I hope to see Walter Mitty get in. Also Monuments Men is kinda assured to get in. It's going to be like Argo was Post Nomination, but this will be before. The word of mouth will gather from its opening to the Oscars and it'll be nominated the same way Argo won with good word of mouth AFTER it was nominated for Best Picture. No one thought it would win before the nomination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one thought it would win before the nomination. I certainly wouldn't say a nomination is assured for TMM. Clooney doesn't have a great track record as a director recently and the lackluster trailer disappointed quite a few people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 This year seems to be very strong in terms of pre-contenders. Don't see how Mitty gets in. It will need mindblowing reviews and stellar BO to be a real contender. It's a comedy, and we know what usually happens with that genre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floofy Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Life of Pi I guess I hope people weren't taking their little kids to see this just because it had a CGI tiger in it. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
