Ozymandias Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Probably because of how night and day the reviews for it were. At the very least, it should've been nominated for best adapted screenplay and score IMO. Fuck the academy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Because the Academy members are fucking idiots. But everyone knows that by now, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 On the Neo-Seoul scenes. THE WACHOWSKIS Finally! The only segment of the movie we seem to have put any loving craftsmanship into! It’s a dystopian cyberpunk epic about a brainwashed corporate automaton who lives her entire life in a tiny box until a bunch of ninja-hacker-rebel-prophets break her free and show her the bleak ruins of the real world, only to get overwhelmed by the inhuman forces of oppression until she sacrifices her life to free people’s minds!!! AUDIENCE Seen it. THE WACHOWSKIS Crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashrendar44 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Did this movie really deserve any Oscar nods? Basement dwellers Geek Nation said so. Speed Racer and Scott Pilgrim were snubbed too, stupid academy wankers. Edited February 28, 2013 by dashrendar44 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Idk why you would compare speed racer with cloud atlas. Atlas was s beautiful film that absolutely dederved oscars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The reviews were just too mixed. For every person who absolutely loved it, there was someone who absolutely hated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The fact that Cloud Atlas didn't win Best Editing, let alone it wasn't nominated for Best Editing, is a load of crap. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 It deserved to win Editing and Make-Up, even if the latter wasn't absolutely perfect (e.g. Doona Bae as a caucasian red-head). It did in both of those technical fields something that 99.9% of films never even attempt to do, with very admirable results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Agreed. Especially considering how piss-poor 2012 was for film scores, I'd actually say CA would've deserved to win it. Just for the main theme alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 That article doesn't really prove shit. You can trivialise any good movie with that kind of script. Total Film does that shit in every issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, kinda a dumb comparison. Speed Racer and Scott Pilgrim were just exercises in style (tho i do like both movies!) and Cloud Atlas was more than that imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
