Oscars
- Thread starter seminole72
- Start date
I have not seen one single movie nominated for best picture, director, actor, actress, supporting actor, or supporting actress. However, I do have The Grand Budapest Hotel saved on the DVR.
I have seen Boyhood, Birdman, Grand Budapest, and Theory of Everything.
I would have Boyhood and Theory in a tie at the top with Grand Budapest close behind. Birdman is one of those love it or hate it movies, but I think it will win best director. Very close for best picture, and I don't know what might win.

Good List. Mine would be:
Best Pic: American Sniper
Best Actor: Benedict Cumberbatch Imitation Game (agree on Fiennes for write in)
Best Supporting Actor: Robert Duval (and I did see it
Best Actress: Keira whatever for Imitation Game
Best screen play: The Grand Budapest Hotel
Disclaimer: Haven't seen Birdman or Boyhood.
I could care less about NPH's sexual preference, I just can't stand him. I think he is very plain as an actor and I don't find him funny at.
I feel the same way about Ellen and her acting and she comes across very plain to me, but it showed that she had some decent writers last year and she was funny and I thought that the she did a good job hosting the awards.
Heck, I would take Billy Crystal for the 30th straight time over Harris.
My major problem is that they are too long and I lose interest real fast, especially of the host, like NPH, doesn't keep my interest.
Throw Dice Clay up there and I would watch just to see him push the envelope.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, in a way, does this sort of thing every night.
I read this an thought no way, but the more I think about, John Travolta would be a decent host, IMO.
Like this list. Haven't seen American Sniper but I hear very good things.Originally posted by seminole72:

I thought Boyhood was a waste of time. Nothing happened to make his life movie worthy in my opinion, I didn't get it.
Loved The Judge.
Got bored watching the Grand Budapest previews so i won't watch, same with Birdman but will watch it for Keaton
Haven't seen Sniper or Selma but want to

Nph is hilarious and über talented. The fact you mention his sexuality tells me someone has some insecurity about themselves. Or thinks this is 1970 when a persons sexuality is an issue for a lot of bigoted people

Hollywood always nominates movies that most don't give a damn about, the public votes with their money. American Sniper has grossed more than all other nominated best picture films combined!!
As for the Oscars, it has turned even worse politically. Talking about "fighting for women's rights" in the nation that is female centric while not even MENTIONING women forced to get their genitals mutilated, women being raped and sold into slavery or that "hashtag" effort to get the abducted little girls that are being raped and tortured back.
It was equally nice to see the Mexican director preach to us how we're all immigrants so OBVIOUSLY we need to allow the flood from the south to continue.
Nice little plug by the "hands up" Selma actor, nice to know that we're still fighting for civil rights as Hollywood sees it..
The other thing better is seeing previews for Mr "anti gun" Sean Penn's film, the Gunman..

Aren't you being a little hyperbolic? Did a movie you really like not win or something?

^^^ Dude you have some serious issues. Oh and just because a movie makes a ton of money doesn't mean it is the best picture.

Grand Budapest is really good. Whiplash is just as good and jk Simmons is absolutely astounding as an actor. And I thought imitation game was amazing. Still wanna see bird man

Only best picture nominated movies I didn't see were Imitation Game and Selma.
Favorites were also Grand Budapest and Whiplash. Grand Budapest was beautiful, possibly my favorite Wes Anderson film.
Whiplash made me a nervous wreck. J. K. Simmons was startlingly convincing and brutal. The music was vibrant and I really connected to the film more than the others.
I thought Theory of Everything was good as well, Eddie Redmayne was fantastic. Love Michael Keaton, but didn't care for Birdman.
Boyhood was gimmicky, amazing effort to create the film, but wasn't very fulfilling.
American Sniper was good, but not sure about Oscar worthy.
I was very surprised that Birdman won, to be honest, but I can appreciate the artistry of the film.
No, what's "humorous" is that in a female centric nation, where women are protected and their freedoms assured she took the opportunity to make a speech about the phoney pay gap but didn't mention supporting women being forced into marriages, genital mutilation or the Islamic rape justification of women and children. Just like the constant attack of Christian values without ever mentioning any other religions.
Right there with ya. Who are these women that want to get paid fairly? I, for one, love making more money than my female co-workers that do the same job and have the same level of education. That's just he way God intended it. They're lucky they get a paycheck at all! Should just stay in the kitchen where nature intended. Amirite?
You don't think that Eastwood's choice to use a plastic baby with some CGI arm moving had anything to do with their final choices?
AS was still nominated for best picture, but I think that was a fairly big turd in the punch bowl that had absolutely nothing to do with politics or money.
I haven't seen all the movies, but I don't recall hearing about any glaring issues like AS's fake baby.
The reason women get paid less is because the HR industry is dominated by women, who inherently hate other women.

does treated as equals simply mean treated as the same? there is a distinctive difference no? are roles for women the same as roles for men? are they up for the same parts?
are you upset that women have equal amount sports in college? or should they be competing as the "same?"
I didn't think it was humorous. I haven't watched any awards show in at least ten years, so I had to rely on news clips online after the fact. Ms. Arquette was obviously being ironic, correct? I mean, after all, it had to be a shock when Jennifer Lawrence discovered she and Amy Adams were getting two points less for their roles in American Hustle than Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper and yet all four were close in "star power". And in Hollywood? I'm shocked, just shocked.
