CoolioD1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Tree of Life was getting delayed so much that I remember people putting it on their predictions for like, 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Ha ha. I remember that everyone was getting Revolution Road and Reservation Road mixed up. Heck some even had "No Reservations" due to them thinking it was another film. Of course I did put one year "I know this much-a sound film will win" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 How about how due to Hugo's really misleading and terrible trailers tons of people (including me) thought it had no chance. (I thought it was a really odd fantasy sci-fi due to that) I also remember saying Hurt Locker had no chance of being nominated since it came out so early in the year and was not even wide. Whats a funny one you said Coolio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 How about earlier in this thread... All I know is that Monuments Men, Nebraska and Gravity will be nominated. Except not that last one. Urh... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have a sinking feeling that August: Osage County could be this year's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXtacy Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 For those worried that Gravity wont be as good on the small screen at home I can honestly say that it is not true. I just watched it and enjoyed it at home as much as I did in the cinema. Just make sure its dark and the sound system loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I guess while we're talking about early predictions, some early 2014 guesses of mine: Boyhood - Richard Linklater (Sure to be his consolation nom after Before Midnight is shamefully snubbed) Far from the Madding Crowd - Thomas Vinterberg Get On Up - Tate Taylor Gone Girl - David Fincher Interstellar - Christopher Nolan Jane Got a Gun - Gavin O'Connor Magic in the Moonlight - Woody Allen (He's hit or miss, but since his last film was a hit I'm putting this on) Noah - Darren Aronofsky The Search - Michel Hazanavicius Wild - Jean-Marc Vallee How to Train Your Dragon 2/Muppets Most Wanted - dark horse family entries Edited January 9, 2014 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 AV Club are doing a feature on films that should be considered for Oscars, but won't be. Their first article is one I very much agree with on the production design of The Conjuring http://www.avclub.com/article/the-conjurings-greatest-triumph-may-be-its-product-200754 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Does DBC have a chance of bumping either Philomena or Mr. Banks off the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 12 Years a Slave (it has a legion of supporters) Gravity (the blockbuster) Captain Phillips (classy Academy voters going to support this) American Hustle (the quality December hit spot) Nebraska (a lot of #1 votes for the indie supporters, part 2) Wolf of Wall Street (despite my initial doubts, with all this precursors, it's in) Her (a lot of #1 votes for the indie supporters) Saving Mr Banks (classy Academy voters going to support this, part 2) Philomena (surprisingly in thanks to Weinstein factor + catchy emotional story) Fighting for 10th Dallas Buyers Club (don't feel so confident about this) Inside Llewyn Davies (indie's supporting other options with #1) The Butler (lack of #1 votes) Blue Jasmine What I would love to see getting in? Rush and All is lost. My last update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
