Films Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'm not following this race too much but I'm guessing this is going to come down between 12 Years a Slave and Gravity?I'd say yes, 12YAS is the big favourite though gravity and American hustle are not beng ruled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Any chance Mandela gets nominated for Best Picture or Best Actor? I haven't seen the film but it's what I consider Oscar bait AND the unfortunate timing may play in its favor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyla Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 hope Saving Mr. Banks does get a best picture nod. ^ this & I still blindly hope that rush gets in by some miracle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 ^ this & I still blindly hope that rush gets in by some miracle Whilst it's not popular amongst General Audience (as we do), it is very popular among critics and the fact that it got voted for Golden Globes might also help it. I say we can expect seeing it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Anyone else think Harvey made a big mistake by releasing his strongest movie Fruitvale Station so early on in the season? This is the sort of movie that could've gotten some awards traction if it was released in October/November. I think TWC over-estimated the strength of their awards slate. They have a lot of movies this year but nothing that truly stands out. Edited January 1, 2014 by TLK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of movies this year but nothing that truly stands out. Can't really blame them. Philomena, Mandela, and August seemed like the more obvious Oscar bait at the beginning of the year. And no one knew who Ryan Coogler was. Edited January 1, 2014 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Isn't The Butler, TWC's main Oscar movie? It still has the best shot of all TWC nominees for BP nod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 PGA nominees today. Should give us some idea. Personally I'm thinking Philomena is weinstein's best shot at a picture nod right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Gravity will fall back just like Avatar did, I see American Hustle pulling a The Departed & shocking 12 Years a Slave. Anyone else with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, PGA completely snubbed Harvey this year. His awards slate just isn't very good this year but yeah it is stupid to count him out so early in the season.

eXtacy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 A lot of my friends disliked Gravity and mocked me loving it, so I hope it wins best picture so I can shove it in their face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Gravity will fall back just like Avatar did, I see American Hustle pulling a The Departed & shocking 12 Years a Slave. Anyone else with me? I hope so. It's the best of those three and I don't think any of them are that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToddThatcher Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 here's my latest round of predictions for the six top categories. taking sm banks out and putting db club in. also taking Scorsese out and putting in Spike Jonze, among other changes. Still having tough time deciding which actor gets left out in lead http://toddmthatcher.com/2014/01/04/2014-oscar-predictions-todds-picks-for-early-january/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
