03.02.14 | other things i forgot but kinda have opinions on: best original score - gravity. best original song - let it go. best visual effects - gravity. |

03.02.14 | Will Win - Jennifer Lawrence.
stopped reading here. |
theacademy
03.02.14 | i love her but she has no shot |
fallenbird
03.02.14 | J Law is a beast |
iswimfast
03.02.14 | well, i'm just basing the "will" win thing off everything i've read before that. i'd say it's the closest of the categories besides best picture. |
theacademy
03.02.14 | no way not even close. the 12 years a slave girl is going to win
the closest category is very obviously Best Production Design. The second closest category is Leading Actor. |
ZombicidalMan
03.02.14 | i love her but she has no shot [2]
Lawrence deserved it for Silver Linings, but this time I think the competition's too strong. Surprisingly I haven't seen any Oscar nominated films this year, since my hillbilly theatre didn't get most of them |
theacademy
03.02.14 | gravity > 12 years a slave = her > wolf of wall street = american hustle = dallas buyers club >>>>>>> cap'n phillips |

YoYoMancuso
03.02.14 | as long as Roger Deakins wins for cinematography I don't really care |
apert
03.02.14 | As long as McConaughey wins best actor and Gravity wins best film i'll be happy |
theacademy
03.02.14 | no reason to think deakins will win this year |
Toondude10
03.02.14 | Gravity is probably going to annihilate this year, but I think 12 Years a Slave is going to win Best Picture |
RivalSkoomaDealer
03.02.14 | 12 Years a Slave and Wolf of Wall Street would be my choice cuts for best picture.
I really want Jonah Hill to get that best supporting actor win, though the odds probably aren't in his favor. |
Ending
03.02.14 | So many I need to see still. |
Guzzo10
03.02.14 | WoWS for best picture lol
That movie is just drenched of Martin Scorsese in almost every poor way possible. Jonah Hill was the only saving grace tbh |
iswimfast
03.02.14 | I can honestly say I enjoyed every one of the nominees. which is way better than recent years |
mike197
03.02.14 | I reckon the Academy Awards are pretty laughable; that said I'll be really pissed if Meet the Croods wins the best animated film award. |
Toondude10
03.02.14 | Nah, either Frozen or The Wind Rises is going to win that |
mike197
03.02.14 | Probably Frozen because it's Disney. First time in a while (ever?) that Pixar didn't get a nomination but I dunno how good that Monsters University film was. |
lyzakthellama
03.02.14 | WoWS for best picture lol
That movie is just drenched of Martin Scorsese in almost every poor way possible. Jonah Hill was the only saving grace tbh [2] |

03.02.14 | Dallas is going to win Best Supporting Actor for sure |

03.02.14 | Jared leto was sooooo great |
NordicMindset
03.02.14 | Leto says so |
JokineAugustus
03.02.14 | I hope 12 years wins all it can. |
Faraudo
03.02.14 | I really want Leo to get an oscar, am I the only one? |
apert
03.02.14 | yeah i'm surprised Monsters university didn't get a nomination, the only other time was Cars 2 which was far worse than all the other pixar films. |
Toondude10
03.02.14 | @Faraudo He might actually have a chance this time. There really isn't that much competition with the exception of Matthew Mconaughey, who is probably going to win it. |
iswimfast
03.02.14 | the dude from 12 years a slave or mcconaughey will win. still no dice for leo. |
Toondude10
03.02.14 | The razzies just came in. Movie 43 got worst picture, no surprise there. |
RivalSkoomaDealer
03.02.14 | Surprised to see all the WoWS hate. Not surprised, however, to see vague claims of why they hate it. |
theacademy
03.03.14 | so yea told u re: supporting actress |
avonbarksdale221
03.03.14 | alright alright alright |
NordicMindset
03.03.14 | Leto deserved it |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | 12 Years is going to win Best Pic but Gravity is gonna sweep everything else. |
NordicMindset
03.03.14 | Leto gave away his statue for an orgy |
Trebor.
03.03.14 | Harold Ramis was a late, high power nominee, but best death still gotta go to Phillip Seymour Hoffman |

03.03.14 | Gravity is cleaning up, got 5 already |
Trebor.
03.03.14 | all tech though
|
apert
03.03.14 | yeah its not surprising, might get best director but won't win any more imo |
MisterTornado
03.03.14 | if you aren't watching the on cinema 2nd annual oscar special stream... R.I.P. |
Trebor.
03.03.14 | Even though it happened last year, best picture and best director being separate movies is really rare
They seem to be sucking Cuaron's dick lately so idk |
silentstar
03.03.14 | I want Her to win at least one award
out of the three nominees I've seen (Her, American Hustle, Gravity), it was by far my favourite |
Trebor.
03.03.14 | Her will likely win best original screenplay
|
silentstar
03.03.14 | good on you for seeing that coming, haha |
scottpilgrim10
03.03.14 | Johnny Knoxville for best actor
Did you guys see all the nut shots he took.
That's commitment. |
iswimfast
03.03.14 | nice mcconaughey got it |

03.03.14 | Leo will never win |

03.03.14 | gravity deserved that award so much, that has to be the most claustrophobic movie ever. |
Calc
03.03.14 | leeoooo nooo!!!!!!! |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | 12 Years A Slave is such an academy movie so I'm not surprised it won. I wanna see it now. Fassbender
looked insane in that. |
iswimfast
03.03.14 | i had 12 years at a close second so i can completely understand the decision. the fact they split director/picture is odd but hey, it's been a great movie year imo. |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | "gravity deserved that award so much, that has to be the most claustrophobic movie ever."
-user has never seen Buried |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | Nah Alfonso was the only one who could have gotten that award he had no competition. I'm kinda surprised it didn't win because how how intense and innovative it was but then again the academy loves movies like 12 Years A Slave. |
klap
03.03.14 | no reason to see Gravity outside of imax tbh |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | Yea because it's not an amazing movie outside of imax |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | klap babe you're so wrong. the film was still as colorful on my HDTV
AMERICA!!! |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | I torrented it and watched it on my small laptop screen and I don't regret any minute of it. |
JokineAugustus
03.03.14 | Only 3 Oscars for 12 years :( Still super happy lupita won |
MisterTornado
03.03.14 | The best film nominated tonight by far was a documentary called The Act of Killing, one of the most eye opening and horrifically brilliant documentaries ever. Honestly if you haven't seen it go out and do so immediately. |
Spec
03.03.14 | The Gravity Awards. |

Hey Treb, lightning struck twice brah |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | i cant believe the dark knight swept again 5 YEARS RUNNING. Wow. |
Deviant.
03.03.14 | It really doesn't help Leo that he's pretty much the same in every movie he's in. Don't get me wrong, the guy has talent, but he rarely mixes it up. He didn't even change it up that much for Django |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | Dev. Jesus. What??????
Seriously, i could care less about leo, but you saying he's the same in every role is pretty stupid. |
Deviant.
03.03.14 | Well when is he not? |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | give two examples first, right? isn't that how comparisons go? |
Deviant.
03.03.14 | Well given how I just said "pretty much the same in every movie he's in", I would think that that would give you enough to work from |
Deviant.
03.03.14 | But okay - Inception>Shutter Island>The Aviator>Catch Me If You Can>The Great Gatsby>The Wolf Of Wall Street
He's pretty much just doing variations on the same theme |
FearThyEvil
03.03.14 | how the fuck isn't he different from gilbert grape, titanic, and some of the films he's in now? |
Monsieur
03.03.14 | Leo is constantly an appealing, engaging and intense character. Man, I wish he would branch out and
start playing boring shitty roles. One dimensional prick |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | don't be dumb. that response doesn't work because it doesn't follow suit from my first [i]orrr[/i] second question. |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | Dev that ranking + your evaluation of leo don't fit. You realize that right? The character in Inception - the same as the one in Shutter Island??? WHAT? |
Deviant.
03.03.14 | I'm not in any way talking about the characters he plays, or any of the roles he takes. I'm talking about the fact that his acting never really changes from one role to the next. You can always tell what you're going to get with him. And like I said, he's a good actor, I just feel like he's consistently the same
"Leo is constantly an appealing, engaging and intense character. Man, I wish he would branch out and start playing boring shitty roles. One dimensional prick"
1. Leo is not a character
2. I'm talking about his acting, not the roles he's played you utter twit |
Monsieur
03.03.14 | Oh, Christ, the characters he PLAYS, then. When you can't defend yourself, just be grammatically
critical and vague |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | LOL |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | who knows anymore with this site |
iswimfast
03.03.14 | slightly jaded yet unbelievably self confident with a soft spot for something is undeniably leo's thing. |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | dont make 12 years a martyr film please |
Deviant.
03.03.14 | "Oh, Christ, the characters he PLAYS, then. When you can't defend yourself, just be grammatically critical and vague"
There's nothing vague about the ability to form a coherent sentence, but continue whining. I'm all ears |
Spec
03.03.14 | I still loved Wolf Of Wall Street. Spectacular film. |
TheRubberbandMan
03.03.14 | Dev presenting his nine inch nails |
Monsieur
03.03.14 | You do realize that you chose the incoherent way to interpret the sentence because you wanted to
insult me without putting effort into a retort, right? I wasn't calling you a one dimensional prick,
if that's where all your snoody frustration is coming from. You probably aren't as lame as you seem,
so let's be friends! |
Deviant.
03.03.14 | I never assumed you were calling me a one dimensional prick, I'm well versed in the comprehensive art of reading. You simply didn't seem to understand what I was saying, in that I was talking about his acting abilities and not the roles he's taken |
Masochist
03.03.14 | I get what Dev's saying, I think. George Clooney is the exact same way, as is Morgan Freeman. |
mike197
03.03.14 | Just sitting here, knowing that these awards are meaningless to the artform itself. |
Spec
03.03.14 | *masturbating |
Monsieur
03.03.14 | Nah, I simply understood. I was initially just having fun but then was sniped with laughably misplaced diction, which I don't appreciate. Anyway, I merely disagree and believe the exact opposite. The similarities of his roles would obviously start tiring his techniques. The roles are tangled with the same themes of obsession, being seduced by power, delusion, and they are unwound in tragedy. His abilities let him easily knock these out of the park, but the roles can afford to be more varied so his performances fall into context.
Also, was there anybody who couldn't smell the Shutter Island twist a mile away? |
mike197
03.03.14 | Hm. Looking over the awards only reminds me of why I normally ignore them. |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | He kinda changed it up in Django a bit. I've never seen him do anything like that dinner scene with the skull. That shit was intense. |
MO
03.03.14 | "He's pretty much just doing variations on the same theme"
while I'd agree for the most part, lets not forget the basketball diaries. |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | Never really thought about him doing variations but he still deserves one at some point because he's just so goddamn talented. He was up against too much competition this year so I knew he wouldn't win. |
silentstar
03.03.14 | "Also, was there anybody who couldn't smell the Shutter Island twist a mile away?"
raises all hands.
honestly, I didn't quite buy the ending and was still quite skeptical, so I had to turn to the interwebs for confirmation |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | Yea I saw that twist coming like a half hour such a disappointing movie. A couple of my friends that saw were like "damn such a mind blowing twist." No lol. If I wanna watch a movie with a twist like that I'd watch The Sixth Sense or something. |
Calc
03.03.14 | the sixth sense twist wasn't any less predictable if you're the type who likes to over analyze movies as you're watching them |
Nikkolae
03.03.14 | leo didnt deserved that oscar last night, boom |
silentstar
03.03.14 | yeah, I'd agree with Calc - the twist in Sixth Sense wasn't any different in surprise-factor when compared to Shutter Island
I mean, if we're talking real good twists, we're talking about:
Usual Suspects, Memento, Prestige, Fight Club and others I haven't seen yet |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | Well from my point of view I didn't see that twist coming. Shutter Island I saw coming from miles away. It's just the kind of twist that's overused imo. Of course Fight Club and The Usual Suspects had better twists than Sixth Sense, but personally I still didn't see that one coming. |
ZombicidalMan
03.03.14 | Best plot twist of all time: Lois Einhorn was actually Ray Finkle in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. |
silentstar
03.03.14 | well, you had your moment of intuition!
It's just that you cannot compare those two while saying that one is of a much higher calibre. |
Mongi123
03.03.14 | Seriously though, my mind was blown when I watched The usual suspects. |
ZombicidalMan
03.03.14 | really? I thought that was a predictable twist too |
