 Re: Oscar Nominations Anticipation/Discussion! Mr. R wrote: Damn Academy has no shame and no drive! The help will surely be extremely loud and incredibly close, the artist is the year's moneyball, and Hugo can finally see some midnight in Paris (but only for my week with Marilyn). Meryl Streep needs a margin call, Michelle Williams and Octavia Spencer are the best bridesmaids, Christopher Plummer is by far a war horse, while George Clooney is our only tinker tailor soldier spy. I just hope the tree of life is no puss in boots and the descendants face a separation, so I could have some rango!

Carrey should at least have two under his belt by now, for Truman and Eternal Sunshine.  This is really despicable. _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself. Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

Re: Oscar Nominations Anticipation/Discussion! I'm glad that Tattoo didn't get nominated for Best Directing or Best Adapted Screenplay. But Extremely Loud, The Help, Moneyball, and War Horse for Best Picture?

Re: Oscar Nominations Anticipation/Discussion! Tree of Life in and not DT?
At least I'm not invested in it.

Re: Oscar Nominations Anticipation/Discussion! You know what is remarkable too? Despite nine BP nominees and ten potential Screenplay slots, only five of the BP nominees got Screenplay noms... The Tree of Life got BP and BD nods, but three screenplays made it into the Best Original category before it.

It looks to me most of it came out of Malick's head as he had the idea of what he wanted the movie to look like. I'm guessing the screenplay is very simplistic.

Everyone forgets that he had another great performance in Man on the Moon, it was just nowhere near the movie that Truman or Eternal were. It really doesn't seem right that Jonah Hill got a nom and Carrey never got one with 2 or 3 great performances. And someday the Academy has to award Andy Serkis for what he does. He should have been nominated for Two Towers/ROTK, and he easily could have been for Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Re: Oscar Nominations Anticipation/Discussion! I don't think they will. They obviously have a problem with mo-cap (the Tintin snub) and it's hard to see how much of what Serkis does is his performance and not just special effect.

Re: Oscar Nominations Anticipation/Discussion! Best Song question:
For a Song to be nominated, the voting process requires a song to achieve an avg. rating of 8.25 from the Music Branch, but what if no song, or just one, reaches that number?

Re: Oscar Nominations Anticipation/Discussion! Spielberg should have gotten a Best Director nomination over Allen. Paris is one of his weakest films, IMO. I don't get the fuss at all. I'm glad War Horse was at least nominated for Best Picture. Am pissed Fassbender wasn't nominated for Shame. I already knew Mulligan wouldn't make it, though both were robbed. These were definitely the biggest injustices, IMO. Also very unhappy about Drive being shut out everywhere but Best Sound. That is definitely a deserving nomination but I was hoping it would at least get a Supporting Actor nod. Such a great film! Extremely Loud being nominated for Best Picture while it sits at 47% Rotten on RT is a joke. Am sad We Need To Talk About Kevin wasn't nominated for anything.
