Anyone have thoughts on this?

A few surprising/shocking snubs: no Jake Gyllenhaal for NIGHTCRAWLER, no LEGO MOVIE as best animated feature, no LIFE ITSELF for best doc.

I didn't check all your list but film editing is wrong. It should be


    American Sniper – Joel Cox and Gary D. Roach
    Boyhood – Sandra Adair
    The Grand Budapest Hotel – Barney Pilling
    The Imitation Game – William Goldenberg
    Whiplash – Tom Cross

Normally . . . ?! I won't comment on what I have not seen, but I do like to make an exception for the Oscars.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I can remember how "Lord of the Rings : Return of the King" swept the Oscars. Now you get to "The Hobbit : the Battle of 5 Armies" and you have 1 nomination for Sound Editing, which it may or may not win.

Well, one thing about the internet, as soon as something makes the news, people are immediately on the internet, agreeing or disagreeing with what they have read. Which leads to "The Lego Movie" and why it wasn't nominated for Best Animated Film. One of the reasons seems to be that while it was popular among populous audiences, it was not popular among people who make animated films or those animators who are members of the Academy, who thought there were 5 animated films that were better, or those 5 animated films that were nominated ahead of "The Lego Movie." As to why they thought it was better . . .?! I'd be interested in knowing.

With "The Lego Movie" not being nominated, they might as well give the Oscar to "Big Hero 6." Of the other films nominated in the same category, the one that I can see giving it any competition is "Box trolls," and I don't think that will be that competitive.

Disney/Marvel/Pixar . . .?! Would you rather have an international box office of over $4 billion or 9 Academy Award nominations?

Actually, just looking at this year's nominations, it looks to be one of the weakest years for films in Hollywood that I have seen.

What will next year bring . . .?! Considering how well "Star Wars : Episode IV" did in nominations, it'll be interesting to see how well "Star Wars : Episode VII" does, as it's release date is in December of this year.

Did you include the "Best Picture" category?  I don't see it.

I forgot it DOH

fixed  :teddyr: now we have a proper score card

No one pays attention to the minor awards like that anyway.  :wink:

 :teddyr: :teddyr:

Well, there's at least one South African in all those nominees: the SA born producer Eric Abraham was nominated for Ida.  :thumbup:

Uh Best Actor / Actress nominations are missing  :bluesad:

To be fair, the Actor category is even more pathetic than usual this year, so I can see why he'd forget it.

I copied the original post from another forum I frequent, stupidly assuming the person had all the categories and nominees correct.

Everything in thing first post should be accurate now.  :thumbup:

To be fair I don't really keep track of movie awards, but it's kind of cool to see some movies in the best animated category that I thought looked really cool. Namely Song of the Sea and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. I'm really looking forward to seeing those when they come out on blue ray or DVD that is if they're not out already.

I thought Unbroken would get more "important" nominations being the kinda movie it is. Would not consider it the best movie, but at least Jack O'Connell should have gotten a nod.

Just watched Birdman, and despite being a technically amazing film, I can't help but feel that some of it is just Oscar bait.  Everyone has a 'big scene'. 

I really liked Keaton in it, despite being a bit hammy, but I still think Ralph Fiennes deserved some sort of recognition for Grand Budapest Hotel. 

Here we are a few days away now.  :thumbup:

 :thumbup: Fiennes in GBH and Michael Fassbender in FRANK were easily my two favorite performances of the year.


The critical response to it was pretty "meh" if I recall and SNIPER stole a lot of its hype. O'Connell and Ishihara were both great though; it would've been nice to see them get nods if nothing else.

Here are the winners:

Best Picture: Birdman

Best Actress: Julianne Moore (Still Alice)

I've seen exactly ONE of those.

And STILL no Oscar for Roger Deakins! *facepalm*  :bluesad:

Which one?

One of the worst things about Award Season is that people who consistently do great work tend to be the ones most overlooked - there's this attitude of "Oh we'll get to him/her next year" and then every year they don't, and then said person finally gets a Thalberg trophy and a kick out the door.  (See: Charles Chaplin, Peter O'Toole, Alfred Hitchcock)
And there's also the fact that Hollywood is a petty, clique-y, self-important industry and they'll shun talented people for not playing nice or projecting the "wrong" image (See: Mickey Rourke, Alfred Hitchcock again.)

I don't know which attitude is responsible for  The Deakins Situation. If it's the latter I am inordinately curious as to what he did. Sleep with one of the Weinstein's wives? Badmouth Clooney? Or is it something even more petty? Does he have a 10-inch cock? I bet he has a 10-inch cock.

I haven't seen Unbroken but was it worthy? I mean it was always going to be a pretty tall order beating Emmanuel Lubezki this year given how crazy it would have been shooting Birdman. Don't get me wrong, I love Deakins, but he always seems to get nominated in really strong years which makes it all the tougher.

Yeah, Dean, that's what I thought, too. I understand his being passed over has turned into this noticeable anomaly, but you can't give him an Oscar just because he's been nominated a bunch of times before and it's "his turn," either.

Right, because that never happens. THE DEPARTED is Martin Scorcese's directorial masterpiece and Al Pacino never turned in a greater performance than SCENT OF A WOMAN.
I don't want to begrudge Luzbeki his win, he's not the problem. The problem is the Oscars have made an annual joke of Deakins and that's irritating as hell. The man has 3 BAFTAS, 4 ASCs, 3 NSFCs, 2 Satellites and trophies from about 40 other organizations. The Academy needs to either acknowledge him or stop adding him to the also-rans just because he's a name they recognize.
 

I really think makeup should've gone to Foxcatcher this year.

A message to the mumbers of the Academy:

(https://i.imgflip.com/i02e0.jpg)

I would've happily gone to see WHIPLASH, BIRDMAN, GRAND BUDAPEST  and CITIZENFOUR in the theater  if ANY THEATER IN A 200 MILE RADIUS HAD PICKED THEM UP!!!  :hatred: :hatred: :hatred:

Same here, but my "Which one?" was "Big Hero 6," which won the award for Best Animated Feature. And this after "How to Train Your Dragon 2," also nominated, won both the Annie and the Golden Globe. Thus not a sure thing. Of course, I am not unhappy that "Big Hero 6" won, as the other film left me majorly unimpressed. Of course, "How to Train Your Dragon" also left me majorly unimpressed. That is not to say that I thought the best film won, as there were 3 other films nominated. 5 films nominated. You could probably get 5 opinions as to which film was the best.

This category is actually becoming more interesting to me than the Best Picture category, and next year looks equally interesting, as Illumination Entertainment's "Minions," of which I've seen the trailer, is eligible for the award, as is whatever Pixar has in release this year.

Of the baker's dozen that have been nominated for this award, only Andrew Stanton and Brad Bird are still batting a 1.000. 2 nominations each. 2 awards each.
