Dementeleus Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Actually, no.The dudes at Awards Watch often call locks 6 to 9 months in advance and they more often right than wrong. Jlaw was called the frontrunner for best actress the night SLP was first screened at Tiff in early September, 6 months before Awards night.We know almost every contender except for 3 or 4 (Her, Hustle, Wolf, Banks), it is very easy to make predictions right now.I'm talking about wins in major categories.

The Futurist Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I'm talking about wins in major categories. Well, Hathaway was locked for the win after the first Misérables trailer hit youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Star Wars- popcorn entertainment, Gravity- popcorn entertainment, 2001- existential treatise on the metaphysical origins and evolution of human life in the universe Plotwise, sure. But approach to filmmaking, perhaps not? Edited October 8, 2013 by The Stingray™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Plotwise, sure. But approach to filmmaking, perhaps not? Not sure where you go with that. In terms of approach to filmmaking, what Star Wars did for filmmaking with its impressive use of miniatures, models, camerawork with them against a matte backdrop, etc is no less meticulous and pioneering and effective as what Gravity did (or 2001 for that matter). Furthermore with approach to the character side of filmmaking, the characters of Gravity bear more similar features to the archetypes of Star Wars than the almost non-entities of 2001.

ChD Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 All I know is that Monuments Men, Nebraska and Gravity will be nominated. Except mayb that last one. I'm guessing you've considerably changed your mind, Coolio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Early predictionsGravity and twelve years a slave are complete locks, I also think saving mr banks, August: Osage county and American hustle are all in. Then in my view, there are many films vying for the final four spots. Two spots will go to big releases. In my view this category contains Captain Philips, Prisoners, Rush, Wolf of Wall Street (if it gets released) and Monuments Men. The other two spots will go to more limited films. This includes The Butler, Her, Dallas Buyers Club, Blue Jasmine, Fruitvale Station, Before Midnight, Philomena and Nebraska. I don't think inside llywen Davis will get nominated at the minute though it is close to be included in limited films category.My predictionsGRAVITYTWELVE YEARS A SLAVESAVING MR BANKSAUGUST: OSAGE COUNTYAMERICAN HUSTLECAPTAIN PHILIPSTHE WOLF OF WALL STREETTHE BUTLERBLUE JASMINEPrisoners, Her and Philomena are just missing out at the moment Edited October 12, 2013 by Films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I think Captain Phillips is far, far closer to a safe bet than August: Osage County is. My predictions: Gravity (Winner) 12 Years a Slave Captain Phillips Out of the Furnace Wolf of Wall Street (Hell yea it's coming out) American Hustle Philomena Inside Llewyn Davis And one of either Mr. Banks, Her, or August: Osage County Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I think August: Osage County looks like shit. It reminds me of those shitty Lifetime movies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I have a feeling August will get entirely snubbed, even Meryl. Trailers look pretty bad and reviews have been mixed at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyla Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) i have a feeling it will have only Meryl nom If im not mistaken Harvey has Philomena also & imo it has better chance overall+Dench & Coogan The Butler can get in really inclined to not predict Monuments men in major categories & less & less sure about AH aside from Cooper/JLaw, prod design, costumes hair & all that stuff I will not count out The Counselor or Out of the Furnace quite yet. they should happen Edited October 12, 2013 by Leyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
