 Re: Sweeney Todd Will Win Best Picture
This doesn't seem likely to even get nominated any more.

There's still hope! As long as Oscar nominations are to come, there will always be!

 Re: Sweeney Todd Will Win Best Picture
Saw it, didn't hate it, didn't love it. But I think it has too much going against it to get even a nomination

 Re: Sweeney Todd Will Win Best Picture
As much as I love the film, I think we're out of luck loyal. It's too bad, Burton at the very least deserves a nom.

 Re: Sweeney Todd Will Win Best Picture
Loyal, are you ready to at least concede that it's not winning Director/Picture/Actor at the Oscars?

If Sweeney fails to get a BP/BD nomination, I'm tossing my love and support behind Blood. Deal? Deal. I expect you in my thread by Tuesday

 Re: Sweeney Todd Will Win Best Picture
One could argue that this is a better film than, say, Into the Wild...but honestly, how could someone think it has a better chance of getting in?
Into the Wild - a movie about freedom, nature, experiences with humans, etc... Academy-adored material
Sweeney Todd - a movie about revenge, throat-slitting, meat pies, and singing that isn't, for the most part, beautiful to listen to...as un-Academy friendly as ever film that has been considered for Best Picture before.
