CALVARY

For your consideration in the following categories:
BEST PICTURE
BEST DIRECTOR, John Michael McDonagh
BEST ACTOR, Brendan Gleeson
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
FUNNIEST COMEDY OF THE YEAR

What do the critics say:

89% on Rotten Tomatoes..

"Thanks to writer-director John Michael McDonagh's powerhouse script and Brendan Gleeson's superb central performance, Calvary earns its sour stripes -- it's a bruising beauty of a film." - Matt Brunson, Creative Loafing

"Gleeson provides an emotional anchor with an understated portrayal that balances strength and vulnerability." - Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue.com

What do I say:

"Please, just watch it before voting. I urge you to watch it. It's a delightful and powerful black comedy with a fantastic script. If, after watching, you don't think it's worthy of any WOKJ awards, then at least you've just had a great two hours watching it. It really is the most overlooked film this year."

Whiplash

BEST PICTURE
BEST DIRECTOR (DAMIEN CHAZELLE)
BEST ACTOR (MILES TELLER)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR (J.K. SIMMONS)
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
BEST EDITING
BEST SOUND



"It is one of those scorching films that burns through emotions, uses up actors, wrings out audiences. And the jazz, well, it has its own moments of brutal, breathtaking fusion."

Los Angeles Times


"The exhilarating, inventive and suspenseful story hinges on a pair of commanding performances."

USA Today


"However genius may flourish, you know it when you see it, and Whiplash is it."

The Telegraph


"The music is brilliant, Chazelle’s writing and directing are something to behold, Teller is really good — and Simmons delivers one of the most memorable performances of the year."

Chicago Sun-Times


"Beat the drums for a Simmons Oscar, and add a cymbal crash for Whiplash. It's electrifying."

Rolling Stone


"Teller delivers a career-making performance as Andrew Neyman, a 19-year-old jazz drummer who wants to be great."

New York Daily News

Yes I did. It was spam in this thread and I was not in the mood for spam in this thread. :)

Lay off, trix. I cannot be bothered with spamming or faux drama today. Really not today. Don't wanna vote, don't vote.

For Your Consideration

Edge of Tomorrow

Image

BEST PICTURE
BEST DIRECTOR (DOUG LIMAN)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS (EMILY BLUNT)
BEST EDITING
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS
BEST SOUND


"An entertaining, effects-driven black comedy, with shades of "Starship Troopers" in its depiction of warfare as a futuristic turkey shoot, the movie is distinguished more by how fluidly it handles its high-concept premise than where it takes it."

The A.V. Club


"Emily Blunt as a commando legend is indomitable, a credit to her exoskeleton"

Christian Science Monitor


"A mix of forward-looking sci-fi, classic themes, deft plotting and superb writing and direction, Edge of Tomorrow may be the pure-pleasure blockbuster to beat this Summer."

Film.com


"Absolutely fucking amazing"

Dr. Lecter


Nightcrawler

Image

BEST DIRECTOR (DAN GILROY)
BEST ACTOR (JAKE GYLLENHAAL)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS (RENE RUSSO)
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
BEST EDITING


"Nightcrawler executes its ideas with tremendous craft and cool, and the courageous and counterintuitive pairing of its leads — Russo is 60, and Gyllenhaal 33 – produces two electrical, interlocking performances and undeniable erotic chemistry."

Salon.com


"Mr. Gyllenhaal’s startling portrayal is far from the only distinction in this impeccably crafted feature film. Mr. Gilroy’s directorial debut connects its hero’s tacit madness to the larger craziness of a broadcast medium that teaches vast numbers of viewers to live with a false sense of insecurity."

Wall Street Journal


"Nightcrawler curves and hisses its way into your head with demonic skill. When the laughs come, they stick in your throat. This is a deliciously twisted piece of work. And Gyllenhaal, coiled and ready to spring, is scarily brilliant. He truly is a monster for our time."

Rolling Stone


The Interview

Image

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
FUNNIEST COMEDY


"The Interview is laugh out loud funny all the way through, and once again proves that Rogen and Goldberg will do anything, no matter how dark, for a big laugh, and that character is just as important as punchlines in their work."

HitFix


"Crazy funny."

Philadelphia Inquirer


"Within the bloodshot-eye perspective of their other stoner comedies, it’s bluntly funny and ever-so-slightly sweet."

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I told you the FYC thread makes no difference. People vote for what they vote for. Most of the FYCs went unnoticed as can be seen by the nominations.

Make no difference? Did you not blame David for half the nominations for campaigning so hard?

So you say they made a difference... and then say they don't make a difference.

Way to go, Sparrow.

That was heat of the moment comments. Thinking about it, and having him highlight it, he campaigned for Mr. Turner, Tracks and Nymphomaniac, and they hardly registered. Then I posted the above.
