Dilusha Bandara Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Early word on Rush is that it's apparently really good. And it's Ron Howard. Seems like the kind of thing Academy could eat up. I think it could happen, I'm predicting it atm. Early word for any movie is good, Btw Da vinci code and Angels and Demons were so dull and bloated!

Ezen Baklattan Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The Butler's getting strong reviews. If box office is strong enough to gain traction, it could be the 'pathos pick' of the Oscars this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If box office is strong enough to gain traction, it could be the 'pathos pick' of the Oscars this year.This sounds racist, but the Butler is too black to win in a 94% white, 74% male and mostly ancient academy.

Jake Gittes Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 So Precious wasn't too black for them, but The Butler is? Unless I'm mistaken and Spaghetti is talking about it actually winning BP which of course will never happen. But with those reviews a BP nomination wouldn't be anything surprising.

Ezen Baklattan Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yeah, I was talking about a nomination. A win is completely unlikely. I'm guessing it snags a nod for Picture, and probably Winfrey, too. Perhaps a few nods for more performances and script, if it really does well.

Maybe it'll be released too early and die in the festival circuit. A distinct possibility, with the slew of awards contenders premiering in the next 8 weeks, Butler could be buried by the avalanche of greater, more buzzed, and higher profile movies.

Jake Gittes Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 So SPC is giving Foxcatcher a limited release on Dec. 20. I guess it's a good sign that they are confident enough to do that (otherwise they'd probably just push it back to March a la The Place Beyond the Pines), and based on his track record it wouldn't be wise to bet against Bennett Miller. On the other hand, such a late addition to the calendar along with the lack of any promotional materials makes it look like a major dark horse at this point. I don't think it's scheduled to appear in any festivals right now either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMovieGuy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This sounds racist, but the Butler is too black to win in a 94% white, 74% male and mostly ancient academy. This sounds racist because it is. anyways I've decided to compile a little list of potential BP Nominees from what I know now. Obviously things are subject to change The Wolf of Wall Street Her 12 Years a Slave The Monuments Men Lee Daniels The Butler American Hustle August: Osage County Gravity inside LLewyn Davis Captain Philips Fruitvale Station and Saving Mr. Banks will be my alternates and I do wonder how Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem Will turn out.

Jake Gittes Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nobody at AMPAS knows who Terry Gilliam is. Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King, Twelve Monkeys and The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus each received numerous Oscar noms. Granted, Gilliam has never had a film nominated for Best Picture or Director, but to claim he's unknown is ridiculous. He's responsible for more than a few stone cold classics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 CinemaBlend's first look at the Oscars American Hustle August: Osage County Gravity Inside Llewyn Davis The Monuments Men Saving Mr. Banks Those are some awful winner picks. I can only see half of them conceivably winning. American Hustle, August, and Llewyn Davis. I don't think Monuments has a chance anymore. Nominations it'll do very well, but it's too much like Argo to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
