The Official 87th Academy Awards Thread

[FlyRy]

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.

damn breh you've only seen 2 of the 8? got some work to do

i liked that flick i just think it had the potential to be so much better than it was if they explored more of turing's character

no wonder people say 2014 had no good movies. i see you casuals

It had no good movies. Every time I think of my current top 10 I'm like at some of the movies I might have to put up there to fill it up.

I love this idea. I think it'd also be cool to roll in some "un-Oscar" like categories like "most overrated" and "worst dialogue", etc.

Yo these nominations are SCUST

Last year, lol. La Vie d'Adele, The Wolf Of Wall Street, Only God Forgives, Prisoners, La Grande Bellezza, Rush, Snowpiercer, 12 Years A Slave, and those are just top of the head movies.

This year is pretty much the year of movies that have some undeniable quality to them but all have too obvious flaws to truly deserve top mentions.

You serious? I'm having trouble narrowing my list down. If you include indie and foreign picks, this was a VERY strong year for film

I thought these were pretty funny....well most of them. I disagree with the Selma and Imitation Game ones, so I'm only posting my favorites. You can see the complete list here: http://www.filmtotaal.nl/artikel.php?id=40979

GREAT read. Thanks. Ava sounds like she's really got a solid grasp on this industry, and a level head. I think she's gonna be around for awhile.
