Fiennes carried that movie.
He did, don't get me wrong.
But. And that's a big stinky but
This might be the best written character Wes Anderson has ever had. That performance is more Wes directing and the script then it was Fiennes, You could replace Fiennes with Giamatti, Branagh, Brolin or Downey Jr and get a similar performace

Ehh kinda tasteless tweet but whatever.
Whiplash is the first film you should see imo...then Birdman, Nightcrawler, Selma of course; and overseas you need to fukk with Starred Up starring Jack O'Connell, the next big thing, and Leviathan; Locke is another great performance. That's where you should start.I ain't seen ANY oscar caliber movie this year. Put me on on who to watch and who made a
no wonder people say 2014 had no good movies. i see you casuals 
Last year’s decade-high ratings for Ellen DeGeneres’ Oscars hosting gig could be a very hard act to follow. After mixed attempts to court younger viewers with the likes of Seth MacFarlane, Jon Stewart, Chris Rock, and the disastrous pairing of James Franco and Anne Hathaway, it turned out the most winning formula for the Oscars wasn’t mimicking MTV, but offering family-friendly gags.

And Ellen got a boost from a movie slate that included a smattering of blockbusters: “Gravity,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “American Hustle” and “Captain Phillips,” all of which went on to gross more than $100 million, not to mention Idina Menzel crooning the movie anthem of the century, “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen.”
the Academy has managed to nominate one of its least-commercial best picture slates ever: six indie films (“Boyhood,” “Birdman,” “The Imitation Game,” “The Theory of Everything,” “Whiplash” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel”) and two studio features (“Selma” and “American Sniper”) that have yet to open in wide release. So far, the highest-grossing movie of the best-picture nominees is “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” at a modest $59 million domestically.

It seems like they have this conversation every 5 years or so..how to attract younger viewers, which in reality, they do need to do not just from a business standpoint but reality; you need new customers as opposed to relying on your older ones. I don't think they need to start putting movies in categories JUST because they're popular (which they do at times) but maybe it's the process that needs to change. I was reading this back and forth on deadline between two writers and one of them is an academy member. Homie says that he never got his Selma screener and when he notified Paramount, they sent him a letter scolding him because the screener was already sent to him. Then of course there's no transparency in the process and I don't think there ever will be but I think that's the populist thing to cling to; people want to know how the process is done, who's voting, and more importantly, why the movies they saw aren't nominated. They got lucky last year with a great host and a few 100 million dollar flicks
Oh that was your cousin??? He did a damn good job breh; Yea that was one of the best films of 2014 and will be on my list. @HHR and I are leading the campaign to expose the world to the greatness that is Jack O'Connell

I saw The Imitation Game yesterday. As of right now, thats my leader for Best Picture. I still need to watch another 6 or so of the nominations tho. Doesnt appear to be a thread created on this movie, so I'll make one later.
We should do a "Film Room Oscars" or whatever where we have a thread with poll dedicated to each category (all the good categories, at least) and everyone in the film room votes for who they feel should win the oscar in that category. Then we close the polls like the day before the Oscars or whatever and we can compare our collective winners against what the academy ends up voting for. I think itd be fun. Thoughts?
@MartyMcFly @NobodyReally @Jax @hexagram23
I also have another idea. Its called "Movie Night in the Film Room" (working title) where every week we select a movie we're gonna watch. We give it a couple days for everyone to watch the movie, then we all reconvene in the thread to post our thoughts/analysis or whatever else we wanna say. It wouldnt be for new movies tho...it would be for classics that have open ended interpretations. I got this idea over xmas break after we were discussing Eternal Sunshine and Vanilla Sky. It would be interesting to get a bunch of people together and hear everyones take on some of those real interpretive like movies.

Talked about that film room oscar idea a couple weeks ago and it's a go. Just holding off on it.
And we had the film club breh which was going strong for a while but then it crashed and burned
Someone earlier mentioned a Film Room Awards show where we'd vote, and there seemed to be interest in that, but we'd have to nail down the categories, etc.
We had a "weekly movie club" or whatever it was called, and it worked for a while, but it was too hard to get everyone to watch the same movie.
