Morrissey Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Plenty of movie buffs here, thought I would get an early start on the Oscars that are tomorrow night. Here are my predictions, only listed awards I thought mattered or that I have seen enough of the movies to make any sort of prediction. Nomineese with bolded red are who I think will win, if theres another bolded black nominee in a category that means I think they should win but won't. DOCUMENTARY FEATURECitizenFour Laura Poitras, Mathilde Bonnefoy and Dirk Wilutzky Finding Vivian Maier John Maloof and Charlie Siskel Last Days in Vietnam Rory Kennedy and Keven McAlester The Salt of the Earth Wim Wenders, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado and David Rosier Virunga Orlando von Einsiedel and Joanna Natasegara CINEMATOGRAPHYBirdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) Emmanuel Lubezki The Grand Budapest Hotel Robert Yeoman Ida Lukasz Zal and Ryszard Lenczewski Mr. Turner Dick Pope Unbroken Roger Deakins WRITING – Adapted Screenplay American Sniper Written by Jason HallThe Imitation Game Written by Graham Moore Inherent Vice Written for the screen by Paul Thomas Anderson The Theory of Everything Screenplay by Anthony McCarten Whiplash Written by Damien Chazelle WRITING – Original Screenplay Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) Written by Alejandro G.

Bugg Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 is there a best cleavage category ? No, because the Oscars are the gay Super Bowl. If you want to see boobs, watch Emma Rossum on "Shameless". Also, the 3rd episode of the Durst doc is on HBO, as is "Walkng Dead". Something might even happen on WD. Or they may continue with this sweatingest film since "Cool Hand Luke" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I posted this trailer in the movie thread just now for Larz, but Jodorowsky's Dune not getting nominated for Best Doc is ******* bullsh*t. The bias against SciFi from the academy is just something I will never understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Can someone explain to me what was so earth-shattering about The Theory of Everything and Eddie's performance, I just don't see it. The move is a romanticized story about the least interesting part of his life as far as I'm concerned. The guy is an icon for his scientific work, I really couldn't care less about his love life.

The bias against SciFi from the academy is just something I will never understand. It's the same bias they have against comedy, just to the nth degree. They either don't consider it "art" or they don't understand it, that's really about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think Nightcrawler, Blue Ruin, Enemy, Skeleton Twins were overlooked, liked those movies more than I liked American Sniper, The Theory of Everything, Foxcatcher, or Boyhood. I think they really screwed the pooch in the best actor category. Jake Gyllenhaal should of been nominated for either Nightcrawler or Enemy. Bill Hader for Skeleton Twins, Ralph Fiennes for The Grand Budapest Hotel and David Oyelowo for Selma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was ambiguous and caused people to think, the academy doesn't like to think. They took one look at the monolith and was like f*ck it, we're already giving this award to the movie with the black actor in it, let's not rock the boat too much.

That's how I feel about Cloud Atlas too. Both the general public and academy were just like omg i'm not having a story spoonfed to me boooo booooooo.

RutgersJetFan Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Also I am not the biggest Anderson fan, but Grand Budapest deserves to run away with Best Cinematography. Shooting in 3 different aspect ratios while channeling Kubrick for the hotel timeline was some seriously original and brilliant sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Anderson movies remind me of the 90's when I was constantly being told how Janeane Garfalo and pre-Meet the Parents Ben Stiller were funny.

RutgersJetFan Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't mind Wes Anderson, although his fan boys are terrible. Darjeeling Limited was great. Rushmore is still brilliant and I loved everything about Moonrise Kingdom. But yeah, it's a little annoying hearing people try to throw him up with Scorcese and Kubrick. It's not that hard to make entertaining sh*t when you put Bill Murray in everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 8 of 10 correct, not too shabby. Kinda pleased a gimmicky dull film like Boyhood didnt win the big one's. Convinced myself he would atleast be giving best director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Zimmer not winning for Score is kinda bullsh*t. Him and John Williams should own that category because everything they do is amazing and any voter who doesn't vote for them every single time they are nominated is a big smelly fart faced cock gobbler.

T0mShane Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Glad American Sniper didn't win. Weird, off-putting jingoistic claptrap. Captain America: The Winter Soldier made a more conscious effort to create a realistic hero than this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting in 3 different aspect ratios while channeling Kubrick for the hotel timeline was some seriously original and brilliant sh*t. I'm a huge Anderson fan and GBH is, by far, his best movie. Shoulda won Best Picture imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
