The Official 87th Academy Awards Thread

[MartyMcFly]

I haven't seen that in the past. Like I said, the buzz was around the acting and the screenplay for wins, but I never heard anyone seriously considering American Hustle to fight Gravity or Twelve Years A Slave for Best Pic...it was a two horse race last year

Agree to disagree breh. That's normally how it works. And last year it didn't but any prognosticator will tell you that's how it works. It's a good indicator anyway and it didn't happen

That doesn't mean it was a contender for best picture...it just means that the actors/actresses were major contenders for individual awards, which many of them won. Ensemble was about the actors and not the movie itself.

The history of the SAG Best Ensemble award links pretty tightly with Best Picture. That is the SAG equivalent of best pic.

I'm going to see wild with reese soon. Will she get in?

I'm hearing she will although apparently Julianne Moore has had it locked up since the summer

I think the middling reception for Alice overall may hurt her chances, but she's the favorite.

Yeah I agree. She wouldn't be the first person to win an award for a meh or bad movie though.

I hope so, I'll be mad if reese gets an oscar for peeing in a bush.

Julianne has it locked up easily...its her to lose at this point.

Yup just like last summer with cate blanchett

I have to see that movie, honestly, I heard it's very good. Winning so late is good for her too, she hasn't peaked early like some other actresses.

 

[StraxStrax]

Man.

Gone Girl is fantastic 2 hour movie, too bad it has that extra 30 min that ruins everything. I've never seen so much wasted potential, this could've been a film classic.
Fuuuuuuuuck.

Yes she's been great since the early nineties.. her film Safe from like 20 years ago proves she just acts her ass off all the time...
