 Best Picture 2013 We've got a poll on the winners, but this is for general discussion of the contenders in this category.
I think four movies that have played at festivals seems likely:
Prisoners
Gravity
12 Years a Slave
Rush
My current list:
Prisoners
Gravity
12 Years a Slave
Rush
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Monuments Men
The Butler
Blue Jasmine
American Hustle
Inside Llewyn Davis
Yeah, I think we might see ten nominees this year.

Re: Best Picture 2013 If Captain Phillips keeps up its current reviews ( http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain_phillips/), I can't see it missing the top 10. Rush is probably out even with the good reviews given it's still a film about driving after all. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Re: Best Picture 2013 Ron Howard is a strong force, though. I think it can make it.

Re: Best Picture 2013 Can't see no other movie this year getting anywhere close to the masterful reviews 12 years a salve and gravity has gotten.

Re: Best Picture 2013 In my dream world, I would love to see Before Midnight nominated, but I sincerely doubt it will happen. It would just be really nice to see the Academy recognize the film in a substantial way to honour what is, I think, an amazing trilogy.
Peace,
Michael

Re: Best Picture 2013 Captain Phillips was like, a lot better than Gravity.

Re: Best Picture 2013 Agreed. Leagues superior. Smarter, more intense, and with superior acting.

Peace,
Michael Agreed. It's guaranteed they'll both be nominated but I believe Gravity and 12 Years A Slave are strong contenders to win Best Picture. Gravity has become too big to ignore.

Re: Best Picture 2013 Just give me 9-10 for the AMC BP marathon. That's it. Though, Gravity making it will surely seal the deal for me.

Re: Best Picture 2013 At the moment I'm seeing....
"American Hustle"
"Captain Phillips"
"Gravity"
"Inside Llewyn Davis"
"12 Years a Slave"
"The Wolf of Wall Street"
Only alternatives I see happening...
"Blue Jasmine"
"Fruitvale Station"
"Rush"
* projected winner
Yeah I know only 6 noms, but there are going to be so many #1's going to "Gravity" and "12 Years" that there won't be much percentage left for films to gain the 5% needed.

Re: Best Picture 2013 Foolish to not at least consider All Is Lost, August: Osage County, and Nebraska as alternatives.

Re: Best Picture 2013 Redford isn't going to be enough to drive All is Lost close to a BP nom.
August's campaign seems very quiet.
Nebraska should also have more going for it but it seems a lot of reactions are moving towards it's alright but not close to being one of Payne's best.

Re: Best Picture 2013 All three are at least better positioned than Rush.

Re: Best Picture 2013 If Captain Philips wins this I don't think I'll bother with Oscar's ever again. And if Gravity wins that might be the case also. I want something actually great to win this year.
