Oscars 2014
I thought it would be fun to make a Oscar predictions thread. So calling all cinephiles. Bob, jackhammer, Exo and anyone else that wants to join in.
Let's see who you think will take home Oscars. You can just copy/paste the list and bold the winners. Also since it is like a little over a month away we can also have discussions about why we think certain films are going to win certain categories. It will be cool to see how many we get right.

I ****ing hated Gravity. I wanted to take a dump because that was more interesting. If it wins an Oscar it means that all you need to win one is by floating in your underwear.

He has to win for best director and it should get an Oscar for Cinematography as well. Nebraska is a close runner up for Cinematography imo.

The story may have been weak but it is by FAR the most technically advanced film ever made and a one of a kind film. But yeah, Sandra was in her underwear once so it should fail. |

If Gravity beats American Hustle (which lets be honest, it won't) I'll be pretty happy. I mean a 2 person sci-fi/thriller movie from a Latino director with a 49 year old lead female... yeah I'm not seeing it.
The only predictions I feel comfortable making is that Martin Scorsese will be snubbed for as will Lupita Nyong’o. |

Marty isn't even near the top 2 for best director.
It is either going to Steve Mcqueen or Alfonso Cuarón. I don't feel Marty deserves an Oscar for Wolf of Wall Street honestly.

Yeah I voted who I think will win not who I want to win.
Maybe in Italics you can choose who you really wanted to win.

Best Picture
American Hustle Captain Phillips Dallas Buyers Club Gravity Her Nebraska Philomena 12 Years a Slave The Wolf of Wall Street Snubs – Inside Llewyn Davis gets the shaft over films that featured great acting. Dallas Buyers Club and Captain Phillips should have been swapped here for Davis or Fruitvale Station. Who’s gunna win? – Her was one half of my best of 2013 but I can tell either Wolf of Wall Street or 12 Years a Slave will be getting this one. Gravity also has a shot. Best Actor Christian Bale for American Hustle Bruce Dern for Nebraska Leonardo DiCaprio for Wolf of Wall Street Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club Snubs – I can’t really blame anybody on this one. There were so many amazing performances that could have made it into this category. Notable ommission are Joaquin Phoenix for Her, Oscar Isaac for Inside Llewyn Davis, Michael B. Anthony for Fruitvale Station, Mads Mikkelsen for The Hunt, Robert Redford for All is Lost, Hugh Jackman for Prisoners, and Tom Hanks for Captain Phillips. I still haven’t seen American Hustle but I couldn’t see any of these nominations being swapped for anybody else. Just wouldn’t be fair. Who’s gunna win? – I know Bruce Dern isn’t going to win. I think that this is the year Leo gets his Oscar although Ejiofor and McConaughey deserve it as well. This one will be interesting and will be talked about for a long time. Best Actress Amy Adams for American Hustle Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine Sandra Bullock for Gravity Judi Dench for Philomena Meryl Streep for August: Osage County Snubs – Enough with the praise for Meryl Streep. She has been nominated enough. It’s honestly not fair anymore. This was a very weak year for female performances but I would have liked to see a young actress like Greta Gerwig in Frances Ha or Allison Brie for Short Term 12 get the spot. Oh well. Who’s gunna win? – Cate Blachett. Hands down. She was incredible. I’d be shocked if she didn’t win. Really, as long as Streep doesn’t win I’d be happy. Best Supporting Actor Barkhad Abdi for Captain Phillips Bradley Cooper for American Hustle Jonah Hill for Wolf of Wall Street Michael Fassbender for 12 Years a Slave Jared Leto for Dallas Buyers Club Snubs – Bradley Cooper? Again, still haven’t seen the film but apparently Daniel Bruhl was incredible in Rush. Jonah Hill is now a two time oscar nominated actor. That’s insane. Paul Dano gets snubbed again for his work in Prisoners and Matthew Goode was incredible in Stoker. I’m glad to see Abdi get a nomination though as he was pretty incredible. Who’s gunna win? – I hope Fassbender wins. Although I’d totally be okay with Leto or Abdi taking home the statue. Fassbender has it coming though. Best Supporting Actress Sally Hawkins for Blue Jasmine Julia Roberts for August: Osage County Lupita Nyong’o for 12 Years a Slave Jennifer Lawrence for American Hustle June Squibb for Nebraska Snubs – Scarlett Johansson was amazing in Her and really thought this would be the first year a voice only nominee would be included. Besides that I think they got it right with including Hawkins and Squibb. Who’s gunna win? – Lupita Nyong’o deserves this. She put everything into her role and while Hawkins and Squibb were equally great it was Nyong’o who deserves this award. Best Director Alfonso Cuarón for Gravity Steve McQueen for 12 Years a Slave David O. Russel for American Hustle Martin Scorsese for Wolf of Wall Street Alexander Payne for Nebraska Snubs – Spike Jonze? COEN BROTHERS? SERIOUS? Ugggghhhhhh. Who’s gunna win? – I couldn’t care less. Cuaron deserves it for inventing technology but James Cameron did the same and that dude lost. McQueen deserves it for his unbashingly bleak directing style. Payne deservesit for bring black and white back to the Oscars. I think they’ll give is to Cuaron. Best Original Screenplay American Hustle Blue Jasmine Her Nebraska Dallas Buyers Club Snubs – Again, the lack of Coen brothers is appalling. All is Lost was also a perfectly written film. Who’s gunna win? – If it isn’t Her, then I’m done with this show. I KNOW WHAT I SAID BEFORE! Here’s a little more observations and musings from the whole list. It should be an interesting show! ~ The Croods and Despicable Me 2 got nominated over Pixar. This is weird. ~ Like last year with Amour, The Hunt is the only film that should be even considered for Best Foreign Language Film. ~ Gravity should take all the technical awards and deserves to take them although Her and Inside Llewyn Davis were both magnificently shot. ~ Bad Grandpa got nominated for make up. LOL ~ No music nominations for Inside Llewyn Davis. Travesty. ~ I’m surprised Man of Steel didn’t get nominated for visual effects. That was a pretty film. ~ The Act of Killing should and will murder the rest of the competition |
