pieman Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 so is there no chance of Rush getting in for BP? I would say it has no chance. I don't think it's shown up anywhere except for Bruhl and the Globes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Depends... Whilst Rush hasn't been a hit with general audience, you'll never know how the Academy members will react to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think the internet film snobs are way overestimating Inside Llewyn Davis and Her. I think only one of them can get into Best Picture and it will probably be Her because it's had a much better precursor run. It's like when people were still predicting The Master and Moonrise Kingdom to get nominated despite little precursor support. I also think that Dallas Buyers Club, despite doing well with the guilds, could get ignored in Best Picture (it seems to me like the type of film that would have a hard time generating that many number 1 votes). This would leave space for the more conventional but Academy friendly films like Philomena and Saving Mr Banks to get in. Which I think is what will happen. This. I think Llewyn Davis is in though. It's up the Academy's alley and it's much more accessible than Her, which is an odd movie (and not that good imo) and totally the antithesis of what the Academy likes. And I don't think DBC gets in either. And i do think Philomena gets in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Her I see getting a screenplay nom and possibly something like score. Though I do have it on picture for the Oscar game after it got attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 If there were 5 noms this is what I think: American Hustle, Captain Philips, Gravity, 12 Years and Wolf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXtacy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) 12 Years a Slave American Hustle Captain Phillips Gravity Her Nebraska I think Gravity, 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle will take a good percentage of the number 1 votes leaving room for maybe 6 total nominees.

pieman Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 12 Years a Slave American Hustle Captain Phillips Gravity Her Nebraska I think Gravity, 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle will take a good percentage of the number 1 votes leaving room for maybe 6 total nominees. Votes are redistributed after a film gets 20% of the number one votes so I don't think it would cause anything that major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Votes are redistributed after a film gets 20% of the number one votes so I don't think it would cause anything that major. That's interesting. I didn't know that My main problem though is that there are a lot of films with a lot of heat going for them. In recent years, at this time, there were 10-12 films competing for room, and some of them even had mixed reviews/reception. This year we have 12YAS, Gravity, AH, WOWS, Nebraska, CP, ILD, SMB, Her, DBC, Philomena, The Butler, Blue Jasmine, Fruitvale, August, All is lost, Before Midnight and Rush. All of those will have supporters. That means that #1 votes will be widely spread through a lot of films. It could be more difficult to reach the #1 votes necessary to get in. Because of that factor, we could see a six / seven BP field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the director of Downfall, though. Before and Llewyn should've been in based on their critical receptions. But Elysium, Prisoners, and Trance all got less enthusiastic responses than I was anticipating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Apparently nominees for Wolf of the Wall Street's Best Picture nomination have been announced. Leo's among the producers nominated. That's new to me. Had no idea he produced it. So, he's standing at 5 Oscar Nominations and no win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
