Sims Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I can't really see Twelve Years A Slave doing as well as he expects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 12 Years a Slave is insanely good though. Subject matter is too harsh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm surprised how big Tapley went on that and Rush. He's predicting 10 nominations for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Early predictions: The Counselor Wolf of Wall Street Out of the Furnace Fruitville Before Midnight Nebraska American Hustle Have to think about other films to put. Possibly:Mr. Banks August The Butler Captain Philips 42 (If they are running low they could, doubtful but you never know) Untitled film that does not come out till December I chose one of the Wienstien films for now, was unsure which to chose. I don't think Fruitvale will be nominated. Okay I think Grace will be there considering it had the lucky release date that the recent Weinstien films have had. I know I have more posts on here about my picks-but I'm not going to search the entire thread Monument Men and Gravity are also possible.

riczhang Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I think Grace could be nominated. Academy loves Biopics, and Grace is good. Like very good. It looked to be an actress only film but now it's looking good in many categories including supporting actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pieman Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Ugh... more Oscar bait, seriously do blockbusters have a chance in this day and age? Argo, Lincoln, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Silver Linings Playbook, Django Unchained were all hit films. If by blockbusters you mean cartoonish comic book movies then I don't think many of them are good enough to be nominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Tdk was that will probably the closest a comic book movie will ever come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Tdk was that will probably the closest a comic book movie will ever come. Unless if you include the film "Skippy" from 1931 that was based off of a comic strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sims Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm so torn on my loyalty to Gravity. On the one hand, I LOVE Cuaron and have been waiting for him to get his due. On the other hand, I HATE both Clooney and Bullock with a seething passion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sims Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 It has to be better than District 9 to make it in a more competitive year, but I am not ruling it out at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
