CoolioD1 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 ^For sure. Huge tech contender, I think Lubezki could finally win. I'm not sure the academy will fully appreicate hard sci-fi like this. Unless it's a big hit which feels unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I doubt Nebraska will be in serious contention as I recall Payne saying it's just a small, low-budget comedy that's not really ambitious. He might have been downplaying things, of course, but I don't think we should automatically assume it's going to be another Sideways/Descendants.

He might have been downplaying things, of course, but I don't think we should automatically assume it's going to be another Sideways/Descendants. Perhaps. Bruce Dern seems a likely contender, and a Screenplay nod is probably assured. Payne's basically in Woody/Tarantino territory now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Wicked in 2014 will be nominated for Best Picture and maybe Best Director. Le Daldry can't do subtle though. It'll be more bombtastic than Les Mis x 100000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 After reading up on the true story of the Monuments Men this morning, I've come to two conclusions: 1) I'd like to read the book, 2) It sounds like something the Academy would eat up with its bare hands.

RichWS Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I suppose these are my "year in advance predictions", but I like to think of them as "ten films I'm throwing at the wall and seeing what sticks for fun". August: Osage Country - I'm somewhat wait-and-see about it, but Harvey will push. Before Midnight - This could be the critics' darling. Captain Phillips - The first of two Hanks contenders. Call it a comeback. Foxcatcher - Bennett Miller has a lot of respect, and it's a passion project. Gravity - I think it'll be the big tech contender so with ten slots I'm guessing it'll get in (i.e. Avatar, Hugo, Life of Pi). Labor Day - Reitman. Monuments Men - Cloon. Nebraska - Payne. Rush - Howard. Saving Mr. Banks - The second of the Hanks contenders. The script is very well-regarded. I can't wait to see how many I'm wrong about, which is part of the fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Holy shit, I just realized August: Osage County has Harvey AND Clooney as producers. Should we just give it the Oscar now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 So do you think Nolan will be snubbed again in 2 years for Interstellar? Without a doubt. Doubt he'll get nominated until he does something more up the Academy's alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
