THE EE RISING STAR AWARD (VOTED FOR BY THE PUBLIC)
Jack O’Connell

RUFFALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Did Mike Leigh piss off BAFTA or something?

Selma snubbed, again. This is getting sort of bizarre.

Also: Rene Russo! I hope she snatches an Oscar nom. Truth be told, Meryl doesn't need another one for Into the Woods.

A couple of very solid choices, including 20,000 Days on Earth in Best Documentary.

A couple unfortunate omissions, too, including Timothy Spall in Best Actor.

I think Russo is now #4 for Oscar, and everyone else is fighting for fifth spot.
Nightcrawler wasn't as strong as I would've hoped, but Original Screenplay appears to be a lock at Oscar (joining Actor and Picture)

believe Selma is not eligible due to its release date? It should show up in next year's awards like we've seen with BAFTA in some cases.

Selma was eligible, but the studio reportedly did not send DVDs to British Academy members. (This excuse again.)

If Tyldum can't make it here, can't see him making the Oscars. On the other hand, the continuing presence of Gyllenhaal makes me think he is safe, while the surprise omission in Actor could be Oyelowo, replaced by Cooper.

Just noticed no Boyhood for editing even with a tie.

Another thing I noticed: complete shutout of Calvary! What the hell?

cool that Chazelle got a nomination.

And very unexpected too. Whiplash is getting stronger and stronger, IMO.

Paramount really screwed up there. Luckily it should still get an Oscar nomination, but they could done a better job at pushing it.

Not even for her beautiful singing? She made that role the performance to emulate Forever now.

I'm not buying it. A film backed by Pitt and Oprah and they don't send out screeners again. No...

Selma was finished early December and Paramount decided that it could not make enough screeners for all awards bodies in time so it settled for making enough and sending them to the Academy. That is all. It all might still be too late, apparently the screeners were sent on December 19th. They should have delayed the release till next year. Or this year rather.

10 years ago, Million Dollar Baby was snubbed completely but it was nominated for Best Director.

These noms are just boring. It's all the same movies getting nominated in every category.

I would start to be worried for team Selma, delays or no delays this is troubling.

So strange..... Replace The Theory of Everything / Nightcrawler with Interstellar, and you have my five favorite films of the year. Weird because this never happens, last year my top 5 included Enough Said, In A World..., and The Spectacular Now. This year the official awards are lining up with my tastes.... What's happening?


Absolutely fantastic movie, and I usually don't like documentaries. Hope this gets in for the Oscars. Recommend ya'll see it if ya'll ain't haven't done gone seen it yet.

20 Feet From Stardom was eligible for Oscar last year, was nominated and won. Haha.
