TLK Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Gravity is the sort of movie that you can only truly judge a few years after its release, like Avatar. Anyone here remember Avatar hype ? Then it lost to The Hurt Locker and today very few people think it deserved to win either BP or BD. Gravity may be in the same boat 5 years from now.

I can already tell you Gravity will be better remembered than Avatar, since unlike Avatar, Gravity is a film about the human spirit at its heart, but no one remembers Avatar for the human story, it was known for solely the 3D. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also pretty much a nail biter from start to finish with maybe the best performance of Bullock's career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether simple or not, it was a story -- and characters -- that people connected with. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Fairly confident right now in these being the nominees: Gravity Saving Mr. Banks The Wolf of Wall Street American Hustle Captain Phillips The Monuments Men 12 Years a Slave Inside Llewyn Davis Blue Jasmine If a tenth gets nominated and/or Wolf moves to next year then I think it will be between Nebraska, The Butler, and Before Midnight. Hopefully Midnight, but I'm not holding my breath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether simple or not, it was a story -- and characters -- that people connected with. Was gonna argue, but agree with Ozy, screw it. Though it'd be an interesting thread in maybe two years time, Gravity vs. Avatar. Edited October 7, 2013 by Blankments 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I'd go with Gravity Picture Director Actress Original Screenplay Original Score Cinematography Film Editing Production Design? Sound Editing Sound Mixing Visual Effects ten, possibly eleven noms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Last year Les M. was the popular choice on the poll. And I remember that in 2009 NOBODY picked Hurt Locker (which tied with Avatar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 12 Years A Slave will probably get the most nominations. BP,BD,three acting noms, screenplay,costume, sound,editing, soundtrack etc. It may get as many as a dozen nominations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Who are the 3 acting noms for? Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Lupita N'yongo (Best Supporting Actress). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 How about Out of the Furnace? It looks like it has a chance by the trailer I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think Gravity will manage the most noms. Though 12 YAS stands a chance as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Flip a coin between Gravity and 12 Years a Slave, IMO. I don't know if anything else has a shot Yep, I don't see any other movie capable of competing with these two unless a schmaltzy affair a la King s Speech derails everything ( Mr Banks ?). They are possibly already classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) It's way too early to call anything a lock. Actually, no. The dudes at Awards Watch often call locks 6 to 9 months in advance and they more often right than wrong. Jlaw was called the frontrunner for best actress the night SLP was first screened at Tiff in early September, 6 months before Awards night. We know almost every contender except for 3 or 4 (Her, Hustle, Wolf, Banks), it is very easy to make predictions right now.

Avatar haters, still cute ( & clueless) after all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
