 American Sniper has got to win something, right? A week ago, I wouldn't have thought that this really had a chance to win anything...seemed as one of those "lucky to be nominated" films, but now the perfect storm is building up.
Could it win 3-4 Oscars? I am thinking both Sound awards, Editing and either Cooper or Screenplay maybe?

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? It'll pull off a Bourne Ultimatum, two sounds and editing.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? I think Interstellar has sound in the bag.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? I 100% think this could surprise and win both Picture and Actor.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? It better not beat Boyhood.
The only contender in Actor I've seen is Redmayne and I don't think Cooper has ability yet to pull that off, so it would be a tragedy if American Sniper went home with awards.
At least Linklater will surely take home the prize since Clint ain't nominated.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? I don't see American Sniper as a strong contender for anything if what David feels about the film is in fact true. I think he has a good eye for what's good and what's bad. It probably just got nominated due to patriotism or for the lack of anything better.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? Haven't seen the movie yet but I would be more than happy if this takes away the BP award from Boyhood. I like Cooper too, so I wouldn't mind a win for him either.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? I'm gonna predict it walks away with just one of the sound awards. Cooper was good but he better not win.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? I think it's drawing dead for major awards. The nominations will be seen as award enough. Could win a sound or two, but wouldn't be surprised if it won 0.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? With Birdman out of the picture, it is not hard to imagine it winning Editing.

It's between it and Boyhood there, and even without the incredible box office, it seems to a film fit to win editing. Also think I read somewhere before that 75% of the ballots are turned in the first week or so, so American Sniper is really in a position to maximize its awards potential. I still don't think even at that maximum, it can win best picture, but a Cooper win is fully in play.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? that would piss me off so much. Redmayne and Keaton are deserving winners.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? Hehe, it'd be crazy if it ends up with most awards of the night, winning both Sound awards, Editing and Actor or Screenplay.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? Still shocked Birdman did not pick up even a nod for editing, troubling signs for the year's best film

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? Yeah, this should take both Sound awards easily, and I'm tempted to predict Editing and Actor. Picture won't happen, and the screenplay seems to rank low among the movie's achievements.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? MLK weekend was supposed to be the weekend Selma picked up momentum, but instead the buzz has all gone to American Sniper,. Another BP/BD split this year?

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? I'm thinking it takes both Sound awards and Editing, with an outside shot at Actor. I'm not sure box office alone will be enough to power it to any of these major categories, though.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? I think Keaton is the frontrunner, but Cooper is ahead of Cumberbatch, Carell and Redmayne.

Re: American Sniper has got to win something, right? Is the sound in the film that great? I haven't seen it, but I find it hard to believe that it's more impactful than Interstellar.
