At what point does Boyhood enter this conversation? Does it need a great theatrical run? Is it the type of film the Academy would nominate?


Nominate? Sure. Win? Nope.

Chadwick Boseman is getting raves for Get On Up. He could definitely sneak in the race.

But outside of him, the movie isn't supposed to be very good. Will his performance be enough?! I would think he would need two of the spots in the race to be up for grabs to have a shot.

It's too early for any Best Actor potential anyway. It's just that Libs cannot wait for her favourite time of the year.

The movie has an 82 on Rotten Tomatoes, 77 on Metacritic and 88 on BFCA. The movie is definitely good enough and will be a major crowed pleaser.

It doesn't have a very good average, though.

We will see but one thing is for sure. It's getting good reviews, raves for Boseman and will be a major crowed pleaser like 42, The Help and The Butler.

Get On up has a 6.7 avg and a 7.1 top critics avg after adding 6 reviews in the last two hours. It may not be an masterpiece but I think its safe to say the film itself is good to really good with outstanding acting. We will know for sure tomorrow.

Most major critics reviews are out. As of now it has an 84 with a 7/10 avg and 90 top critics score with a 7.1/10 Avg. Metacritic
Score is 73 and BFCA is up to 90. I think it's safe to say the film is good. Chadwick has gotten flat out raves.

The film is average. Down to an 81 with a 6.7/10 avg, with a drop to 83 top critics with a 6.8/10 avg.

Even The Help had a better avg and it had a worse score.

If The Butler wasn't nominated for anything Get On Up sure won't be. People will forget about it by the time the Oscars roll around anyway.

Now Boyhood is a sure-fire Best Picture and Director nominee. Could easily see it winning Director.

looks like reviews for Wild are saying Witherspoon and Dern are likely for nominations.

Awesome. :thumbsup: I thought it looked really good and I'm always up for Witherspoon in a great, meaty role. She doesn't get the praise she often deserves. I'm excited for it.

September-December is really shaping up to be exciting, I'm hoping it will be great enough to save the rest of the year, which has been pretty disappointing.
