2015 Academy Award Nominations

[YankeesFanboy]

I might have to wait before posting anymore polls around here, I’ve made some pretty bad ones

Well, someone ought to. I wonder which Freak is the best prognosticator?

I was pretty certain Cumberbatch would win the Best Actor Oscar, but following the GG, he and Redmayne may wind up splitting the vote, with Keaton winning it.

Julianne Moore probably wins it, finally. I met her once. It was a disaster.

I loved Birdman, but I don’t think Keaton deserves a win. Cumberbatch or Redmayne should win it.

How did Selma get in there?
Not even out yet
Unbroken should be there instead
For best movie

What an *****.

 

[Solidus]

Can't stand that race-baiter.

 

[Brainiac]

What people should be nominated based on their race?

 

[CriterionCollector]

Channing Tatum snubbed for Foxcatcher! He was the best performer in that film. Giant wankfest anyways.

People have won it based on their race, so why not?

The Lego Movie not getting a nomination? WTF? I didn't love it like I've loved some animations, but I rated it better than Dragons 2.

 

[Rotfish]

Surprised Lego didn't get nominated for an Oscar nor for a Globe. Dragons 2 is like every other CG flick these days. Nothing particularly impressive. At least the Lego is something different.

 

[Lejuan]

I didn't enjoy the characterisation in Dragons 2 - Valka was just downright creepy - and it was visually overwrought. It was a very competent movie, but I can't think of anything that made it outstanding.

Sharpton is just using this as an excuse to shake down Hollywood for cash. He has to pay off the 4.2 million in back taxes he owns the IRS somehow. The fact that this crook is called a civil rights leader must have MLK rolling in his grave, bless his soul.



I saw Selma. IMO it was a good movie ( a little loose with the facts) but not the best picture. I predict Selma will now win Best picture. Because the cowards in Hollywood will be guilted into voting for it so they can show everyone they are not racist. Sad!

Just to clarify, The LEGO Movie was nominated for a Golden Globe, it just didn't win. I was also surprised it didn't get an Oscar nomination.

I disagree about Dragons 2 though, what makes it stand out is the great writing, acting and directing. I WISH most animated films were as good as Dragons is.

No Lego Movie for Animation?

Dawn of The Planet of The Apes should should surely win visual effects

Pretty much.

Agreed!!!

Carell was the worst of the three in my opinion, I think the fake nose really added most to his performance

Channing Tatum snubbed!

I've seen almost nothing here. Hardly ever can justify a sitter to go to the movies. So, **** these nominees.

No film with any live-action scenes has ever been nominated for a Best Animated Oscar. That might have been what disqualified The Lego Movie.
