Because Gone Girl might sneak in and win then. Now, we all know either Boyhood, Grand budapest or Birdman will win
I just think Paramount did a crappy job...again. Les Moonves been dropping the ball too much when it comes this for a while now.
Huffington Post said this: Come out in November, not December
And I don't think it would win. There was an LA times article written back in October saying that oscar voters greet Gone Girl with a shrug

Yeah, any time before december is good. Sounds like December - January - February is a dumping ground for film. I thought the Oscars would like to get more originalHuffington Post said this: Come out in November, not December

Nah just Selma. I knew Gone Girl wasn't getting anything minus 1 so I had no hope for that whatsoever. You can't be disappointed if you never expect anything:whoknows:
And apparently I'm not the only one rooting for Selma

Post is my hometown paper and a bastion of liberal values. That's an op-ed written by a member of LBJ's staff. The Post' film critic has had nothing but praise for Selma and I believe someone else who writes for it calls it the most important movie to come along in a long time

I have my own Oscar presentation in my brain. Its a lock

Los Ingobernables de Sala de Cine
I've seen Ida and Leviathan and would rate both 3.5/5, although Ida had me leaning towards a 4/5 as well. Leviathan is pretty much the umpteenth modern take on the Book of Job, and probably owns a lot of its hype due to its heavy criticism of the Russian government and focus on corruption. Ida has a straight forward story that's littered with subtleties, but most of its credit goes to beautiful imagery and the smart choice to film it in a very tight 4:3 aspect ratio.
Of the other movies I'm only a bit familiar with Timbuktu which did quite well at Cannes.

I think the Academy has no idea of the shytstorm it started with the snub of Ava DuVernay and to a lesser extent Angelina Jolie in the Best Director category.
Not adding a woman to the best Director sausage party when there was an opportunity to include DuVernay, Jolie or even Amma Assante (another female director of color) for Belle which was very well reviewed.
