Jake Gittes Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Philomena is a big Weinstein crowdpleaser. Those tend to happen pretty much by default. Frears might miss a BD nom if some unseen contenders (Scorsese, DOR) prove to be strong enough, but other than that I don't see it missing BP, Actress, or Screenplay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Philomena is a big Weinstein crowdpleaser. Those tend to happen pretty much by default. Frears might miss a BD nom if some unseen contenders (Scorsese, DOR) prove to be strong enough, but other than that I don't see it missing BP, Actress, or Screenplay. Basically this. I have Frears in second right not for BD actually. This is beginning to sound like Queen 2.0 in terms of Frears quality. It debuted with 78 on MC and is missing an absolute RAVE by THR which will push it into the 80s. That's "Universal" acclaim for a movie that everyone on IMDB and ADF had dismissed.

Jake Gittes Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think McQueen and Cuaron are as close to locked as they get (after last year's triple failure of Affleck, Bigelow and Hooper I'm hesitant to call anyone 100% locked), I'd give the #3 spot to the Coens, and the remaining two spots are between Scorsese, DOR, Frears, Howard and Greengrass. If we see a Benh Zeitlin-like out-of-nowhere nominee this year, right now I'd place my bet on JC Chandor. And if Her really delivers - which it certainly could - I wouldn't be shocked to see Jonze get in at the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Of course, if it were up to me, three of the five BD nominees would be Derek Cianfrance, Harmony Korine and Richard Linklater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The top three are pretty easily: 1. 12 Years A Slave 2. Gravity 3. Rush With Philomena far behind in the 8-10 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Of course, if it were up to me, three of the five BD nominees would be Derek Cianfrance, Harmony Korine and Richard Linklater. And Shane Carruth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Well, I've just looked over a Romanian movie site and they seem to have a lot of trust into Walter Mitty. Glad to see that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 They could have it like the early Oscars where there were some cats with more then 10 films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The ten field thing is so st00pid when every other category has 5 slots. I don't think so. I think that when you have years like this, 10 is definitely the best way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I don't see it happening. And Sims, I typed up a long response to your Philomena not happening post. But my computer crashed and I can't be bothered to type it. Basically: 12YAS No Gravity No American Hustle (IMO looks too gimmicky) August Not happening unless it suddenly makes like 150 million. Wolf on Wall Street No What else is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I don't think so. I think that when you have years like this, 10 is definitely the best way to go. True! I liked the expansion and liked it more when they announced the posibility to have diferent number of nominees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You know-for some reason Prisoners seems like this years "Flight" I wouldn't be surprised if it got an original screenplay nod and/or an acting one, maybe supporting actor for Gyllenhaal or something.
