pieman Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Philomena is in, because Judi will be in the mix for Best Actress. No. It doesn't work like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It does when the Weinsteins are behind it. Remember The Reader. Remind me who were the producers and director for that film? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yeah, philomena is now suffering, but it was meant to conquer AMPAS, not critics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 No one was calling 12 Years a Slave the obvious BP winner. Everyone thought it'd be zero emotion and all brutality which would cause it to be shut out from the AcademyA few pages ago there were some that already predicted a winner...

TLK Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Yeah, philomena is now suffering, but it was meant to conquer AMPAS, not critics This. Critics are very cynical and movies like this aren't for the very cynical types. This is going to kill with the AMPAS members.

Both will benefit from a December opening. Mr Banks is thematically very appealing to AMPAS. And thanks to the voting system, Her is in a very good possition to get in thanks to #1 votes. This is a crazy year. Too many beloved films out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToddThatcher Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 envisioning an alternate Oscar universe... what would've been the runner-up in all six major Oscar categories since 1990? Life of Pi, Pulp Fiction, Bugsy, and so on. http://toddmthatcher.com/2013/12/06/an-alternative-oscar-history-1990-present/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Not going to search for all of my lists wish it was easier on here but whatever) Current: 12 Years American Hustle Captain Philips Gravity Inside Lewis Desmond Philomena Saving Mr. Banks Wolf of Wall Street I see The Butler having a chance here due to how political it is for them...but that's another story. 8 films there Other films that could make it in-Her (umm yeah looks like a screenplay only nom but you never know), The Butler (see above), Nebraska (good chance), All is Lost (if this is a frontrunner for actor-it needs another nom as said before only Last King has won best actor with no other nomination since the first Oscars, wont be nominated for screenplay, so there you go), Blue Jasmine (Oscars love that dirty old dude...), Fruitvale (that one Summer film), Before Midnight (Like Fruitvale, that one Summer film not a lot of people saw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Banks will manage to get in. It's kind of interesting that the only live-action Disney film to be nominated for Best Picture was Mary Poppins and fift years later, a film about the making of it could also get in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
