riczhang Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 That's be kinda like 2007 or was it 2005 when Salma Hayek(?) announced the Oscar Foreign Nominations and said, "and from Canada, Water." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Last year I was hoping "No" would win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I always like when the nominations are announced and someone does the Foreign film category and you hear Goat Boy and Llama Girl, Kryghistan, and you hear the random clap or woo.

Impact Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Animated short is sometimes amusing. Still I can never forget in 2000 when they went "The Oscar goes to Father and Daughter" Me: Oh sure you give it to the only normal sounding title and the only normal looking one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Current Predictions: Best Actor: 1. Robert Redford for All is Lost 2. Oscar Isaac for Inside Llewyn Davis 3. Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street 4. Michael B. Jordan for Fruitvale Station 5. Colin Firth for The Railway Man On the Outside: Matthew McConaughey and Chiwetel Ejiofor Railway Man might actually happen. Standing Ovation at TIFF; we'll have to wait for reviews though. Hopefully good cus I love it when I'm right. Edited September 7, 2013 by riczhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Captain Phillips looks very good, judging by the trailers, and is getting great reviews. Another lock, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Captain Phillips looks very good, judging by the trailers, and is getting great reviews. Another lock, perhaps? I wouldn't call it a lock until more reviews come in. It's trajectory might be changing, but it would still be a very strong contender. Also depends on how the rest of the year shapes up. Seems that this fall brings us real quality movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Am really hoping that it is not Weinstein this year. (Studio wise I want Fox, Sony or Disney to win-surprisingly Fox has not won since French Connection (!-and they use to be one of the big winners, and Columbia not since Last Emperor. Well Unforgiven was WB's 2nd BP winner since Casablanca! And the 1st since My Fair Lady!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) WB won lost year though. I know-that has nothing to do with what I said-I said Unforgiven was only WB's 2nd win since Casablanca-meaning it took them a while to get another win is all. Edit: And WB won lost?

stripe Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That would of been funny just to hear "The winner is..Doubt" I doubt it! I still am waiting for a film called "Nothing" to win. There was a similar funny joke in The Naked Gun 3. When Dreblin discovers that the danger is inside the envelope announcing the Best Picture winner. He shouts "It's the bomb!" and the producers of underperforming nominee "Sawdust and Mildew" run merrily to the stage thinking they've won LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 We will learn about August: Osage County tonight. Strong reviews for DBC and Mandela, but they seem far more likely to just be showcases for their respective lead actors. Gravity and Twelve Years a Slave are the only sure things at this point, though word on Phillips is probably leaning towards it being very positive. Rush and Prisoners could sneak in depending on how else the year crumbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Update: American Hustle The Counselor Grace of Monaco Gravity Inside Llewyn Davis The Monuments Men Saving Mr. Banks Wolf of Wall Street Will All is Lost and Fruitvale looking in-as I put in another post I have some reasons to why I think All is Lost will be nominated-which is the fact that only Last King of Scotland won best actor with no other nominations (except the first Oscars). And if All is Lost wins best actor it would need another nomination-it wouldn't be screenplay so picture, here we go. Okay there has to be a family film there! Every year since 2009 there has been 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.... 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 Early predictions: The Counselor Wolf of Wall Street Out of the Furnace Fruitville Before Midnight Nebraska American Hustle Have to think about other films to put. Possibly: Mr. Banks August The Butler Captain Philips 42 (If they are running low they could, doubtful but you never know) Untitled film that does not come out till December I chose one of the Wienstien films for now, was unsure which to chose.

TLK Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 So August Osage County is getting mixed reviews. People who are familiar with the play seem to be the most critical but the actors are getting good reviews across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
