Ezen Baklattan Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I know 12 Years A Slave seems like the front runner at this point, but I wonder if it's peaking too early. The only thing is that I don't know what could replace it. American Hustle, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think it'd be great if somehow Her won. It looks delightfully modern for an Academy that every year seems more and more stuck in the past 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Critics don't seem to be over the moon about it. I'm thinking Wolf is the one obstacle now. Gravity is honestly another obstacle, i'm currently thinking it's going to be a three horse race as of right now. As for nominees, i'd really like it if Fruitvale could get a slot, ESPECIALLY if knocked out the mediocre Butler.

pieman Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The Wolf of Wall Street doesn't have a chance. Gravity can't win because it's so out of step with the Academy's more traditional taste and really lacks any greater subtext or depth.

Impact Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well I do have a friend who is a member of the Academy-his current pick is Mr. Banks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yjs Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 yeah I think we shouldn't oversee Mr. Banks. it could pull out Shakespeare in Love which didn't come in to the Oscar race till very late and changed the whole picture while everyone had thought it was Ryan that would win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Anyone else starting to think American Hustle has a chance for an upset? Nah. Not "important" enough to overtake 12 Years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Anyone else starting to think American Hustle has a chance for an upset? It might be between that and Slave. Both get the most globe nominations, the only sag ensemble nominees that have a chance of winning (as impact likes to point out, braveheart is the only movie to win without that) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Seems like a 3-way currently with 12, Gravity, and Hustle. But you never know how things shape up with the DGA and PGA (or even BFCA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hmmm, don't know about Gravity. 12 Years a Slave with a strong possibility of a Hustle upset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hustle is also riding on the success of Silver Lining and the love for JLaw, O'Russell is overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 After seeing 12YAS, the last awards it deserves to win are Screenplay and Score. Very good film, but it's really the direction that drives it, not the writing, and Zimmer winning for his half-assed two tracks here would be just embarrassing.
