Prometheus has a nomination! I am so proud! :D

[Straker]

Prometheus has a nomination! I am so proud! :D

If it was anything other than visual effects I would've cried like a baby. :p

[hammerfan]

I have a feeling that "Lincoln" is going to run away with it.

[newb]

and I've seen...lets see....1...2...3....4....wait....None

I've seen none of those movies

[Angra]

My vote goes to Life of Pi.

Best actor will probably be Daniel Day-Lewis.


That'll be all.

[hammerfan]

and I've seen...lets see....1...2...3....4....wait....None

I've seen none of those movies

Neither have I.

[MichaelMyers]

A horror movie hardly ever gets nominated for best picture. The last won to win I think was Silence of the Lambs. Horror has a bad rap in Hollywood, but as a genre brings in some of the most cash. I guess the academy doesn't know which side its bread is buttered.:cool:

[metternich1815]

I completely agree with Michael Myers. The horror genre has often included some of the best artistic films in history that never got nominated. They often talk about subjects that no one wants to touch. However, time and agian quite a few that deserved to be nominated never were. Films like The Shining (1980), Rosemary's Baby (1968), The Cabin in the Woods (2012), just to name a few. In the entire period from 1929, when the Academy Awards were created (although not the Golden Globes) to today ony five horror movies have ever been nominated for Best Picture: The Exorcist (1973), Jaws (1975), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), The Sixth Sense (1999), and Black Swan (2009). As Michael Myers mentioned, The Silence of the Lambs (1991) was the only horror film to ever win Best Picture (it also took home four of the other major awards. I think this reality is most unfortunate, even high critical apporval does not mean the film will get nominated because quite a few horror films had this, but were still not nominated.

[ChronoGrl]

Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman for Les Mis, please. Other than that, I haven't seen any of the Best Movie candidates. Argo and Django Unchained are next on my list of Must-Sees.

[hammerfan]

Finally saw "Les Miserables" last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Who knew Russell Crowe could sing?! :D

[Ice Pik]

I could of sworn that more then 5 movies came out last year....yet it seems like only those 5 movies get nominated....smh. I haven't seen not one of those movies but my brother said Django Unchained was a kick ass movie and topped Kill Bill.

I'm glad Argo won, but I think Ben Affleck should have been nominated for Best Director.

Was surprised that DeNiro didn't win, knew Daniel Day-Lewis would win but wanted Hugh Jackman to win, figured Anne Hathaway would take it (she was excellent in Les Miserables). I went to bed after the Les Miserables cast performance.

Yes, Django Unchained was so awesome. :D You should definitely watch it if you enjoyed any of Tarantino's other films.

Agree on all of that - Affleck is a damn good director and Jackman should have one.

Also - What the HELL - Frankenweenie got beat out by BRAVE?! Seriously?!

F the Oscars.

Haven't seen either Frankenweenie or Brave.....but they're both in the Netflix queue.

Finally saw "Les Miserables" last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Who knew Russell Crowe could sing?! :D

Les Mis was amazing! Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time now :)

And FYI, Russell Crowe has had his own band for a long time, called 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. Odd name, and the music is not my taste, but I loved him in Les Mis. His take on Javert was different but very suitable.

[ChronoGrl]

Haven't seen either Frankenweenie or Brave.....but they're both in the Netflix queue.

Frankenweenie was simply wonderful (wonder if it didn't get enough attention because of its stupid name???)... Brave was beautiful but I thought that the story was just so/so, which was too bad because the main character was fantastic.
