fishstick Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Michael Shannon wasn't a newcomer in 2011. Especially not young, hot and diverse. There are several strong contender roles with black actors in the lead this year so someone's gotta get in.

Impact Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Since I am not a fan of the quotes here-here I go: Impact, on 11 May 2013 - 7:02 PM, said: Current: Forrest Gump for Mr. Banks Batman for Furnace Young Magneto for Counselor Mr. Dern for the state east of Colorado That annoying dude from Titanic for Wall Street: The Legend Continues Okay Hanks I think might be for Captain Philips actually now. Now here is my predictions right now: Tom Hanks for Captain Philips Leonardo DiCaprio for Wolf Robert Redford for All is Lost The Basketball Player's cousin for Fruitvale Bale for American Hustle Could make it in: Carell for Foxcatcher, the main star of Inside Lewis Davis (or whatever it is called ), McConaughey for one of his 2 films.

The Futurist Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I really think nobody will be able to defeat Redford's narrative this year. Sorry Léo, come back next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilusha Bandara Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I really think nobody will be able to defeat Redford's narrative this year. Sorry Léo, come back next time. You're talking like you've seen all the movies this year. Redford is safest bet from what we've seen already, but all other actors' performances are still to come. I'm sure Redford will be a strong contender, but he can't win the Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 You're talking like you've seen all the movies this year. Redford is safest bet from what we've seen already, but all other actors' performances are still to come. I'm sure Redford will be a strong contender, but he can't win the Oscar. Redford is winning. (And some of us already have seen a decent number of Awards contenderes And coupled with Neilsen screenings we've basically had word on everything but American Hustle and Monuments Men, both of which are still unfinished I believe.) I don't even think Leo's getting nominated anymore. The subject matter just isn't there and Wolf looks not up the Academy's Alley. (Though, The departed wasn't as well. But that got amazing reviews. And this probably won't match it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 ^Agreed on Leo. He will miss out again, even if the film does okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 How about The Book Thief? I read the description and it sounds like a Oscar type film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 do you think Carell has any chance for a nom? Sounds baity, and SPC will put up a good campaign, but I don't think he'll make it. I don't believe in the film's quality, especially with it getting the shaft from Sony to SPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 How about The Book Thief? I read the description and it sounds like a Oscar type film. Book Thief is a YA adaptation isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Book Thief is a YA adaptation isn't it? I have no idea-the premise upon reading it just sounded like a Oscar film. (Hey to be fair-so are quite a few classic films though) Edit: Hugo and Life of Pi were these also, but this one sounds more PG-13 or even R just off the plot I read.

Jake Gittes Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 In one scene in the film, a coked-up Belfort furiously dry-humps a first-class stewardess on a flight to Switzerland. It’s reminiscent of the alarming comedy in Scorsese’s earlier films—classic Joe Pesci stuff. DiCaprio’s natural grace remains (it was there even when he played a sadist in Django Unchained), but he’s never been so feral. And this is one of Wolf’s tamer scenes. “It’s a modern-day Caligula,” says DiCaprio, “the height of debauchery.” http://www.vulture.com/2013/08/dicaprio-scorsese-wolf-of-wall-street.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 In an alternate dimension where the BLANKIES are an award show, Simon Pegg is nominated for Best Actor. Only performance I really like so far beside Pegg is Jordan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
