Re: Best Picture: 2015 If they nominate TFA, and don't include Inside Out, I'm gonna piss and moan about it.

Re: Best Picture: 2015 Start to think Bridge of Spies will miss. It's sort of in no man's land, not big enough to be discussed among all the blockbuster contenders and not small enough to stand out as art house darlings. It's just there, and in this year where the two extremes are offering great options, it's getting lost.

Re: Best Picture: 2015 Repladed Brooklyn with it, but hey, we could see ten nominees.
BTW, what if we just had five this year? Which films would make it?
I'd say:
Star Wars
Spotlight
Carol
The Martian
The Revenant

The Revenant Woah, caaaaaaaaalm. I'm not confident Star Wars is getting in the lineup at all, even with these reviews. Don't jump the gun yet.

Re: Best Picture: 2015 I think Trumbo has a shot, how many times have we learned how the Academy feels about films about them

Re: Best Picture: 2015 Star Wars is not getting in. The reviews are great, but from what I see, they are not Oscar worthy. Not anywhere near Fellowship of the Ring on Metacritic.

A well made and high quality cash grab, but nt one they are going to shower with Oscar nominations.

Re: Best Picture: 2015 Just like when Toy Story 3 wasn't nominated for Best Picture.

Re: Best Picture: 2015 Chippy wrote: Just like when Toy Story 3 wasn't nominated for Best Picture. A third Toy story is far more justified than a seventh Star Wars. Plus, it had better reviews. And Pixar had never released a bad film yet. Star Wars has the prequels to dilute brand strength.

Re: Best Picture: 2015 Toy Story 3 came out 11 years after Toy Story 2. This came out 10 years after Sith. Their nominations had nothing to due with any of the previous films.

Re: Best Picture: 2015 It's simply a hyped up fanboy picture. Plenty of those get 90% on RT and they never score nominations unless they're Lord of the Rings. And you can't use the "Star Wars is in a different league" argument, because Empire Strikes Back missed a nomination.

Re: Best Picture: 2015 If I were to argue against a Star Wars BP nomination, I would use Star Trek, which had 95% at RT and 82 at MC and of course the same director. However, Star Wars franchise has always had way more success at Oscars than Star Trek. The former had 7 wins and 22 noms so far (albeit most of the success came from the first film), while the latter didn't manage to one until the reboot and has yet been nominated in any major categories.
