Oscars 2014

Outerspec

My picks for who should win are in BOLD and who I think they're going to pick are in ITALICS and UNDERLINED. Admittedly I have not seen every single movie nominated and I left out the less popular categories, not because they're less important but because I haven't seen the movies in those categories. Anyone who has seen those movies from the categories I left out (or are interested in sound editing etc..) feel free to add to the discussion.

As you can tell I really loved 12 Years A Slave. I'll see how well I do come Sunday. What are your picks and please feel free to add categories I missed out on.

TLC

I'd really like it if Wolf of Wall Street wins. It'd probably go to Twelve Years a Slave because it's the sort of movie the Academy loves. As long as it doesn't go to Gravity or American Hustle, I guess that's fine though I personally feel all three are overrated.

I really, really want Leo to win. Dude deserves an Oscar after years of cockblocking.

Khamolen

Wow, I didn't seeany of the Best Picture nominees this year.

Ok, i will give it a go: (I just put in BOLD the ones i think are going to win)

korobka

I think by now, we all know what the Academy does and doesn't like. It likes things like 12 Years a Slave, and doesn't like The Wolf of Wall Street. I know many people love it, but I don't think it's going to win anything. Chiwetel Ejiofor for Best Actor is also a no brainer.

And yeah, truth be told I haven't seen any of these movies either…

Cyan D. Funk

12 Years a Slave should win everything

Maybe throw DiCaprio a Lifetime Achievement Award or something

Insider2000

Oh, what fun!

Even if Let It Go doesn't win, I'm so hyped for Menzel singing on stage!

Kaiolino

Gravity and Wolf of Wall Street were my favourites, with Her close behind it.

Ubiq

I went last night and watched the collection of animated shorts.

a) It's a damn crime that The Missing Scarf didn't get a nomination.
b) Anything other than Room on the Broom winning will be a miscarriage of justice.

Nobodyman

Of the best picture films, I've only seen Gravity and Captain Phillips. I prefer Gravity. Really want to see 12 Years a Slave though.

And I'm gonna try to see The Wind Rises, after which I'll decide whether I want that or Frozen to win (of course, I think Monster's University was better than Frozen)

Steven D. Teach

I've been in many back and forths with friends about The Wind Rises and been pretty open to being convinced otherwise with another viewing, but as it stands I can't say I enjoyed it much.

I've only seen Wolf and Hustle, but found a theater nearby still doing Gravity so will likely check it out.

Truth be told, the foreign film category fits my tastes a lot more than the best picture category. I find Broken Circle Breakdown, Hunt and Great Beauty to be better movies than most nominated in best picture, especially titles like American Hustle, Gravity, Wolf or Philomena.

Outerspec

I like Leo and I liked Wolf of Wall Street, but this isn't his year. Maybe they'll throw him a bone but it wouldn't be genuine.

As for The Wind Rises I'm going to see that tomorrow.

MetaMario

Sadly, I've only seen Captain Phillips and Dallas Buyer's Club. So….I guess, one of them?

Then again, I've heard nothing but acclaim for 12 Years a Slave. Gotta see that.

korobka

I imagine no one actually wants to see 12 Years a Slave as much as they want to know why it's so good, while also expecting to go through some serious white guilt and to wince at all the brutality. At least that's how it is in my case…

CaptainAppleJack

I somehow really want Barkhad Abdi to win Best Supporting Actor.

Green_vs_Red

@korobka:

It likes things like 12 Years a Slave,

Strange they didn't seem to like Amistad all that much.

MrPecans

I've only seen American Hustle, Her, and Wolf of Wall Street this year. I saw Inside Llewyn Davis too, but it didn't wind up getting a nomination, which is weird.

American Hustle is my favorite of the ones I've seen. Just a really tight, fun movie. Wolf of Wall Street had one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen though, with those "lemons." Jonah Hill is the fucking man. Has anyone seen his overly talkative Jewish child bit that he does on SNL? Funnier than anything you've ever even THOUGHT OF.

Wooden_Giraffe

Clearly I didn't watch many movies last year. Only one I've seen that got any sort of nomination was Frozen.

Pochipochi

Inside Llewyn Davis was my favorite English film release from 2013 really so I can't even vaguely care about best picture since they decided there was no money in it awarding it anything lol. Really funny how the past few times they expanded Best Pictures noms by so much just to have half of it be throwaway entries.

Weird too, since rich film fucks love Coen Bros

I will legitimately be kind of upset though if Dallas Buyers Club wins any more awards for its awful drag queen character. I really don't want that stuff to be rewarded.

The only movie anyone has talked about I haven't seen is Her though, which is weird since I… love the concept...??

Outerspec

I just came from the movies and was in the middle of The Wind is Rising and really getting into it! Then the fire alarm goes off and the whole theatre is evacuated…From what I saw which I believe was probably most of it I can see why it was nominated. The animation is great, has lovable characters, engaging story, and it just makes you root for the main character. I wish I could finish it but that'll have to wait for another date. Still enjoyed Frozen better mainly because it came out of nowhere for me and I enjoyed immensely.

CaptainAppleJack

One film I feel like got legitimately snubbed of getting a nomination at all in some category is "Rush". Heck, Daniel Brühl for example would have really earned it for his portrayal of Niki Lauda. As an Austrian you see Lauda in TV quite often…and I couldn't really see much difference between the original and the actor.

Sucks that that happened! I had a similar experience when I went and saw that Mike Judge movie, Extract.

Saw that! Lauda was awesome in that.

Is the character very stereotypical or something? Haven't seen it.

@Wooden_Giraffe:

Likewise, except replace Frozen with American Hustle. For that matter, I haven't even ever heard of a fair number of the movies on that list. So you certainly aren't alone, at any rate.

Pochipochi

@MrPecans:

Yeeeeah, something like that. The character themselves is somewhere between being a drag queen and a transperson, but isn't really convincingly either. It's more like a label slapped on the character, who is basically portrayed and acted in this way that's just… more like pity with a hint of disgust? The actor himself who played them also has basically said they're just a weird, exotic thing played up for tragedy so the main character can be sad. They entirely lack agency, basically.

On that note, the movie itself has a really bad savior complex and follows this super generic underdog arc. It's just not a unique, interesting, or good movie in any real capacity although some moments in its directing have inspiration that puts it a tad bit further away than just "Hollywood".

Prismeru

i don't really mind the Oscars but i get so much kicks from people that always say that they hate them and then follow every FUCKIN movement of the academy. Is like the rabbit chasing the turtle but only both are retarded. I'm only posting here so i can remember to check the thread.

(uh sorry, if it feels i'm talking bad about you i guess you metaphysical person that will be offended by this?)

@Holy:

Holy, I….I....oh, thank you.

MrPecans

Yeah it was awesome. Love the whole chasing the cat bit.

korobka

@Green_vs_Red:

Strange they didn't seem to like Amistad all that much.

Well, when I said the Oscars like things like 12 Years a Slave, I meant they like movies about human suffering and overcoming it. That's proven by their love of Holocaust movies. Captain Phillips doesn't seem to be anywhere near the level of suffering of slavery or the Holocaust. Just guessing here again, but I would bet on either Jared Leto or Michael Fassbender. But who knows? Maybe he will win. That award seems like more of a tossup than a lot of the others.

Outerspec

For anyone who is thinking about seeing 12 Years A Slave do know that people are not recommending it with a light heart. 'Oh go see this movie it's really great and you'll love it.' It is a great movie but be prepared for some very harsh and disgusting reality. This is how slavery really was. I don't mean to turn people away from it. I just want people to go in prepared so they're not too shocked, but you will be shocked. You'll feel a lot of things by the time you're finished, and hopefully one of those feelings will be inspiration to care for your fellow man.

–-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside Llewyn Davis and Dallas Buyers Club are 2 movies I haven't seen yet which I regret. I've heard so much about them it's only a matter of time before I see them. Then I can judge them for myself.

Outerspec

The red carpet portion of the Oscars are on and I'm watching all the beautiful and/or famous people walk the red carpet. I'm lookimg forward to seeing Lupita because…

Any live streams for non-Americans available?

I always use tvpc.com. It usually has at least one adequate stream.

I don't even know what to say. She's just beautiful. I really hope she wins. She deserves it.

Nobodyman

Oh, Ellen's hosting again. I had no idea.

Outerspec

Ellen's doing a good job I think. Not as good as her previous year but it'd be hard to live up to that

So Jared Leto just won for Best Supporting Actor. Wow, he just gve a really touching acceptance speech.

Pochipochi

I feel sick to my stomach

Kaiolino

@Holy:

I feel sick to my stomach

Did he forgot to thank the LGBT again?

WolfWood37

@Outerspec:

I don't even know what to say. She's just beautiful. I really hope she wins. She deserves it.

SO after seeing her strut with Pharrel, now what do you say?

Nobodyman

Hmm, seemed kind of inevitable that Jared Leto would win when everyone cheered for him the most.

Hey, they did it again for Best Costume. Knock it off, guys!

Outerspec

Catherine Martin wins for costume design for The Great Gatsby. I forgot that film even came out last year.

Dallas Buyers Club wins another reward for hair and makeup. Didn't catch the names of the people.

@WolfWood37:

I'm jealous of Pharrel.

WolfWood37

So it'll be another hour and a half before we get through the unknown awards.

Pochipochi

@Kaiolino:

Oh he thanked gay people. Despite his character being a bad attempt at being a trans person?? Jared Leto is dumb as shit fuck him

korobka

So I haven't found any sites streaming, because quite frankly, I'm not all that interested. The only award I was waiting for was Best Supporting Actor. Could someone paraphrase Jared Leto's acceptance speech for me? I'm curious to know if a certain someone's conversation with him had any impact on him or not.

Outerspec

Mr. Hublot wins for short animated feauture.

I REALLY need to get into these short animated films. They just look so interesting and I feel like I'm missing out on so many great stories. Not enough time in the world to read all the books and watch all the movies..

Best animated feauture film goes to…FROZEN!!!

First one I got right!

Nobodyman

And Frozen won. That was predictable.

Anyway, I saw Wind Rises yesterday and…I dunno. I still think Monsters University was the best animated film I saw in 2013.

He thanked his mom after telling how she struggled as a single mom raising 2 children. Then he thanked his brother and people who helped on the film. Lastly he dedicated the award to the 36 million AIDS victims and LGBT community. This acceptance speech is the only thing I know Jared Leto from so yeah…haven't seen the movie yet.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

Gravity wins for best Visual Effects.

WolfWood37

No shocker for Gravity, but I wanted Star Trek to win.
