Re: Nomination Talk
Steve James just keeps getting snubbed by the Documentary committee.

20 acting nominations, 20 white people: 14 Americans, 5 Brits, 1 from France. Draw your own conclusions.

Re: Nomination Talk
Mine was less of a prediction and more me trying to will the nomination into existence. I was not going to see her get snubbed again after she came so close with RUST AND BONE.flipp525 wrote:Also, I think rolo and I were the only ones to predict Marion Cotillard for Two Days, One Night.
Not as pissed as Sasha Stone. I cannot wait for the shit show to start on AwardsDaily.flipp525 wrote:Gillian Flynn must be pissed.

Re: Nomination Talk
Now I will really have to see American Sniper... At least the directors proved indifferent to American flagwaving (though the writers didn't) and pickled Bennett Miller's subtle work on Foxcatcher over Eastwood's swan song.
The absurdity of having more than five Best Picture nominees: we get one with ony one other (and very minor) nomination. I know that it happened (twice, I think) even under the five-slots format, but this year it's really ridiculous.
Surprises? Dern, no Lego Movie, and - to my personal relief - no Gyllenhaal for his unconvincing, juvenile imitation of a sociopath. No Rene Russo, sadly.
I still think that the Academy will see through Ida (the stereotypical "foreign movie" one has to admire) and that it won't win the Oscar - but I must admit that the (deserved) Cinematography nod makes its chances stronger.

Re: Nomination Talk
Is Selma the first ever film nominated for just Best Picture and Best Song?

Re: Nomination Talk
Fortunately?
But seriously guys, we got a lone director. I've been wanting this to happen ever since they announced ten best picture nominations.

Re: Nomination Talk
I am actually happy with the slimmed-down list of just 8 nominees! Though I wish either Foxcatcher or Nightcrawlers were in instead of Selma!

Re: Nomination Talk
In the thread here maybe, but I've been saying it all along and included Cotillard in my predictions on CinemaSight.flipp525 wrote:Snick's Guy wrote: Also, I think rolo and I were the only ones to predict Marion Cotillard for Two Days, One Night.
I watch this on Good Morning America. Fortunately I didn't have a shoe in my hand to throw at the TV with stupid comments like Chris Connolly's "Marion Cotillard got Jennifer Aniston's slot"

Re: Nomination Talk
Nightcrawler got the Drive treatment. Other than screenplay, it was totally shut out.
I think no one predicted Miller for Best Director
