Jack Nevada Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I think Before Midnight will get in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It's hard to call this early. I think Fruitvale Station and Before Midnight probably have a good chance. Inside Llewyn Davis too bcos of the love for the Coens. Rush as well because early word is that it's really great. Gotta wait and see on everything else.

The Futurist Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Before Midnight is locked for script, dialogues are just too sharp. Edited August 2, 2013 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Before Midnight is locked for script, dialogues are just too sharp. ^this is an absolute lock. There's no way this will miss out. Inside Llewyn Davis also I'd say, at this point, has a 80% chance of getting a nom. It's something right up the Academy's alley. (well ish, but it's still pretty baity) I'm on the Fence about Fruitvale Station. It's good enough to get in, but it came out a bit too early. Also, it might get shafted by Harvey due to August, and even Grace, which I'm hearing is fantastic. It might turn out to be his third horse and therefore not get too much attention. Especially considering he produced August, and he hasn't been nominated for Best Picture since Gangs and hasn't won since Shakespeare in Love. He's pretty desperate now. It might even be fourth after Philomena, which is also very good. However, what Fruitvale has going for it is that if he can get Octavia nominated, then he would've made history. No Black Actress has ever been nominated again after winning and he's all for making history with the headlines and all. That focus of firepower might push Fruitvale into the field fpr BP.

Jack Nevada Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Before Midnight is locked for script, dialogues are just too sharp. Yes. I also dont see how Blue Jasmine and Inside Llewyn Davis would miss screenplay nods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Ric, what are your predicts? [*]Inside Llewyn Davis [*]August: Osage County [*]The Wolf of Wall Street [*]Monuments Men [*]Philomena [*]American Hustle [*]Blue Jasmine [*]Gravity [*]Le Passe [*]12 Years a Slave Just Outside: Fruitvale Station, Dalas Buyers Club, Nebraska, Captain Phillips, and Railway Man. NOTE: I really have no idea what I'm doing right now. Check back with me in 4 weeks. I'll give you something better then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all just throwing films at the wall, and now we have to wait to see what sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Great call on HER. Nothing about its Oscar chances will be apparent until we hear some early word, but Jonze's prior history with the Academy (three nominations, including Best Director, for BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, four nominations for ADAPTATION.) definitely suggests it could be a dark horse. That's why it shocked me that WTWWA got zero noms. Despite what you think about the movie, that had fantastic costumes and art direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough with White Guilt movies already especially after DU showed you can do it without WG shit. Brace yourself Ric! I'm seeing El Snechitto de la Wiggolo Streepolo tomorrow.

Only one snatching Streep's oscar is dench. I'm seriously considering putting Dench at #1 in my predicts. I know she's that strong. I need to see August though, maybe TIFF.

Are we just haphazardly assigning the "white guilt" label to any film about black people now? Jesus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Hatebox says, its the post-internet era. Everything has to be looked at with as much cynicism and post-modern irony as possible, otherwise you're not cool.

fishstick Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Yes, I know Steve McQueen is black, does it mean he can't direct a movie based on a White Guilt script? That thing looks like such a shameless bait it's embarrassing. I'm glad that Slave supporters got their fair share of shock when DU turned out to be a major contender, not Kill Bill type of a romp that they "heard". Slave won't win shit after DU's great showing and maybe it won't be even nominated. DU 4eva! Edited August 3, 2013 by fishnets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
