I thought Gravity was so great, my nerves were shot after!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen Her? The concept scares me.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Lawrence has been nominated 3 years in a row now.
@Lotta I saw it and loved it. Concept is weird but the story is amazing. Phoenix and Amy Adams were stellar and I totally want a ScarJo in my phone.
Delete@Kristin, I'll withhold criticism until I see it, thanks for the feedback! And I want a ScarJo phone too!
DeleteInteresting that Joaquin Phoenix got snubbed for Her. I really want to see that. I think it sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think Leo could handle losing to anyone on that list but Matt Mc.
ReplyDeleteI SO want Amy Adams to finally win.
I'm sad Joaquin wasn't nominated.
Nominating Julia Roberts is a joke.
I'll bet everybody will flip out that Jonah Hill is now a 2-time nominee. I don't mind him. On film.
Impressed with the fact that 'Jackass' got an Oscar nomination, even if it was for hair and makeup.
ReplyDeleteWhat's next? A best actress nomination for Madonna?

ReplyDeleteI saw Her on Monday (and Nebraska).
ReplyDeleteI liked it. It is just a small little story that looks at relationships, makes you think all the way home.
Joaquin was excellent.
I'm glad that '20 Feet From Stardom' got a documentary nomination. It's about the great girl-group backup singers of the 1960s and 1970s, and what happened to them when everybody started using Autotune and didn't need backup singers any more.
ReplyDeleteI was very surprised Joaquin didn't get nominated, and I hope Matt McC wins. I'm sorry but American Hustle wasn't that great and neither was The Wolf of Wall Street.
ReplyDeleteAlexander Payne is one of my top 3 current favorite directors. But Nebraska is not his best. The acting nominations are right on, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised The Butler was ignored and saddened Fruitvale Station didn't get a nomination.
ReplyDelete@Henriette, you're right - Fruitvale was entirely forgotten! I think it came out too early in the year. The Place Beyond the Pines also came out earlier in the year, and was also forgotten, although I though Ryan Gosling was excellent in it.
DeleteMatt should have won last year for 'Magic Mike'. He was fantastic in that movie - an honest portrayal of an aging hunk.
ReplyDeleteI really loved Dallas Buyer's Club. It was so sad yet uplifting at the same time, and Matt and Leto were both superb. Even Garner did a great job, when usually she can be annoying.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Judith Densch got a nod for Philomena too.
I hope Leo wins. He's deserved far more than this one nomination, he's a talented actor. He was very good in The Wolf of Wall Street and I'm happy he finally got his oscar nomination!
ReplyDeleteI so hope Meryl Streep doesn't win. She should take herself out of the running like Candice Bergen did with the Emmys. I don't want to see Streep or Julia Roberts win anything.
ReplyDeleteI'm really rooting for Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Dallas Buyers Club looks great. Matthew M really does throw himself into his roles. He was the only saving grace from that travesty Magic Mike. God. I hated that movie.
ReplyDeleteThat documentary on the backup singers sounds fab. I will keep my eye out for that.
@Susan, the documentary is available on iTunes.
DeleteI didn't get more than 10 minutes of Magic Mike and I pressed the stop button.
Delete@califblondy you are doing yourself a disservice as a woman. There are butts for every interest.
DeleteHated Gravity, American Hustle was ok, although Bale & Adams were fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Wolf of Wall Street, Leo was great, probably won't win though.
Looking forward to seeing Her (love Joaquin) & Nebraska.
Never seen a Woody Allen film and don't plan to, so I don't know how Cate's performance was.
Only people I am opposed to winning on this list are Meryl (she's won, give it to someone else), That Hag Julia & Sandra (i didn't think she was that great, ).
I am rooting for Bruce Dern , although I don't know with such strong competitors if he will win.
I think Bruce Dern will win due to his long body of work. The academy is good about that.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet Nicole Kidman feels like an idiot for passing on Gravity now.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Best score category Enty? John Williams earns his 49th Oscar nom and no mention? At least Hans Zimmer's 12 Years A Slave score wasn't nominated which is nothing more than a Thin Red Line re-hash.
We are now living in a world where Stanley Kubrick never won an Oscar while Jackass gets nominated.
I saw Her this weekend. I liked it. Joaquin was excellent. Has anyone seen Inside Llweyn Davis? Thoughts, I was thinking of checking it out this weekend.
ReplyDeleteCate Blanchett's performance in Blue Jasmine is incredible, I'm rooting for her.
ReplyDeleteIt will be hilarious if Matthew McC beats Leo to the Oscar.
ReplyDeleteIf Cate Blanchett doesn't finally get an Oscar I will be pissed off.
@mynerva Cate already has one. All the actress nominees do except for Adams.
DeleteSorry, meant leading actress as opposed to supporting.
DeleteThat best actress category is pretty fierce this year. A few weeks ago I would have said it would go to Cate but now I think Amy could take it.
ReplyDeleteWonder if Meryl's speech about Disney's bigotry factored into the Emma, Hanks, Saving Mr Banks snub.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe Blackfish got locked out by that back up singer doc.
American Hustle is the one to beat. Pitt better pick up his game.
Sandra Bullock should get best panting in a major motion picture--it seemed like all her acting was breath work.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I got shot one station away from Fruitvale (Coliseum) at 10:30 in the morning. Oakland is no joke. I haven't been able to bring myself to see the movie yet tho.
I hope Leo gets the best actor award. He has been so close several times and is a brilliant actor!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite nomination is JACKASS. I hope they're seated next to Meryl at the nominee luncheon.
ReplyDeleteNebraska was meh. Big deal in the my hometown because the screenwriter is a homeboy. But I found it to be uniformly uninteresting.
Maybe if someone took a baseball bat to Bruce derns junk.... that would have elevated it.
Between the Jonah Hill nom for playing himself in the 80's, no Idris, a set up repeat win for JLaw and Ellen hosting, I won't have to watch the show at all. Thank you Academy!!!
ReplyDeleteGO LEO!!
ReplyDeleteFruitvale was a superior movie to Nebraska. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteJonah Hill has 2 Oscar nominations already. That must infuriate all the people who hate Jonah Hill.
ReplyDeleteImma sticking with my pledge to NEVER see another movie again if Leo wins Best Actor Oscar. Go Matthew!! (Cant believe I just said that but it worked for AnnE when she starved down for a role.)
ReplyDeleteBoring - it reads much like the Golden Globes nominations list
ReplyDeleteWhile the performances were pretty good in American Hustle, I didn't think it was that good of a movie.
ReplyDeleteI am also surprised The Butler wasn't nominated.
I was surprised that Tom Hanks wasn't nominated for Capt Phillips, Thought he'd be a shoo-in.
ReplyDeleteim all for Leo winning best actor he was amazing. Flat out amazing.
ReplyDeleteMatt should have won for Magic Mike
Why did jonah turd hill get nominated. Jeesh his ego went from epic to colossal. Ugh and wolf of wall street sucks. I hope matthew wins and leo loses. He can go cry his loss away in some supermodels vagina.
ReplyDeleteWhat about idris elba?!
ReplyDeleteBlackfish was robbed!
ReplyDeleteWe often don't get to see some movies until after the Academy Awards. Having written that, I really enjoyed Gravity & American Hustle. They have started True Detective here in Australia & Matthew Mc is incredible. He was also great in Magic Mike. A group of girlfriends & I went to see Magic Mike & we were impressed there was a plot.
ReplyDeleteWhat about ROBERT FUCKING REDFORD?!? He's been robbed - ROBBED.
ReplyDeleteFuck Leo - go McBongo or Chiwetel or Dern as a nod to his body of work. Hell, even Bale - he was fabulous in American Hustle.
Cate's a lock and it's about time they did more than give her a consolation best supporting Oscar. Sorry Amy Adams, I loved American Hustle but no. Meryl was godawful in Osage County. Sandra's a nice girl but hardly in Cate's league as an actress. Judi Dench probably deserves it as much as Cate but I doubt she'll get it.
Oprah - DENIED! Yay. I wouldn't mind JLaw taking it but I'd prefer a Lupita Nyong'o win. Julia sucked in Osage County. Sally Hawkins was great but no and June Squibb is honored just to be nominated.
Leto will probably take it although Michael Fassbender has been robbed in the past and they make up for that with consolation best supporting Oscars sometimes. Jonah Hill can blow me, I'm certainly not going to blow him.
Best Picture - 12 Years A Slave. Best Director - Steve McQueen. The Academy likes to pretend it's more than a popularity contest. It isn't and David O'Dickhead has a lot of enemies.
Don't let me commence on Foreign Language films and Documentaries.
Yawn, mostly the same boring actors and actresses are nominated.
ReplyDeleteI want Sandra to win.
ReplyDeleteI seriously do not get the Sandra Bullock nom. It was BARELY any acting at all. So weird.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I like her. But if you saw the movie and watch a lot of movies, there was barely any acting going on really. Voice acting, sure.
The "supporting" categories are always tough, I find. There are just way too many excellent performances to nominate.
Bullock again shows she can do the breathy-panic voice as she did in both Speeds. Not nom-worthy, to me.
ReplyDeleteBlanchette's acting was amazing-slight & very subtle facial expression changes told entire chapters without words. Shows what a great actress without botox can do.
Meryl's Disney references had nothing to do with Mr Banks outcome - votes were already in.
McConaughey fans need to see "Mud" & we've got True Detective here on premium cable - just started last week.
>Michael H - I hope you're fully recovered from your injury. Terrible! I'm in SF & I fear Oakland. Don't go there anymore & won't see Fruitvale. Didn't see Milk either, since I felt like I already lived through it.
I'm shocked American Hustle DIDN'T get nominated for best hair & makeup. Seriously. While I was watching it I was thinking, "each one of these godawful hairdos deserves its own individual Oscar."
