Watched two thirds of birdman. Loved it. Rest,tomorrow.
Academy Awards 2015
- Thread starter Lynk
- Start date
How can you watch a film like that......like that?
Especially when you are loving it -_-
Boyhood
Linklater
Keaton/Redmayne(it's now leaning towards Keaton again, but still a big push for Redmayne, but possibly too young, too new to take it)
Moore
Arquette
Simmons
Wes probably gets original screenplay as his reward(close category though since it also has Birdman and Boyhood), Adapted Screenplay pretty weak, seems pretty open.

Pretty much my thoughts on the matter too.
To be fair not really my picks, just saying who's barring a random nonsensical switch for surprise reasons, how it will go. None of those are the best. It's all about the campaign nowadays, you only merely need to be decent-good. Even of those nominated, I wouldn't pick them mostly.
Other than Mike Keaton, well deserving. Done his bit, been a great all rounder for years. More than happy to see him win, great man.

That's what I meant too, I haven't even seen Still Alice.
Neither of my favourite performances got nominated this year (Ralph Fiennes - GBH & Essie Davis - The Babadook) so my interest has waned.
On soon, I guess I'll be tuning in.
Best actress: Julianne Moore, shame the rest of the film does not match her
Best actor: Eddie Redmayne
Best picture: Should have won, not sure if it was even nominated though - Mr Turner. Failing that Theory of Everything. Will win: no idea.

Birdman to win best picture, Linklater best director, Wes Anderson best script. Redmayne to win best actor, the rest obviously Moore, Simmons and Arquette.
I like Birdman more than Boyhood. Hoping for some Whiplash love.

First time in years that I've barely seen any of the films nominated, and I'm not really that keen on watching any of them later on. I guess I'll watch Boyhood at some point tho.
It's been a pretty good year actually.
I've only seen Imitation Game and it didn't feel very Oscar worthy.
Too many biopics and biopic performances for my liking.
My guess: Birdman, Linklater, Redmayne, Moore, Simmons and Arquette to win.
Redmayne really shouldn't win but that role is pure Oscar bait, I don't think they'll be able to resist.

There are also some really remarkable films, though. Birdman, Boyhood and Whiplash are outstanding.
I am hoping Keaton wins but feel Redmayne will snatch it.
So what if it's Oscar bait? It was a fantastic film and an incredible performance by Redmayne.
If he wins the Best Actor award it won't be because they can't resist Oscar bait, it'll be because he realistically and convincingly acted out a unique and difficult role to perfection.
Okay, I enjoyed that opening in spite of its preach-iness. Very likable... 
Vernon Schillinger wins.

Ida won
So I guess that song was from the Lego movie?
Love Tegan and Sara but that performance was kinda pants. And is Travolta going through a transgender process as well? Looks more feminine each time I see him...but damn Preston is hot.
Whats with the kid from Boyhood?....haven't seen the film but he looks miserable every time I see him on TV.
Has best animated happened yet?
Lego isn't nominated, doesn't matter.
Princess Kaguya, though
Not English speaking enough to win. Animation is one of these categories where the voters vote without any knowledge. There was one English speaking live short and one documented short. Both won.
Ida won
Where's Matthew McConnaughey? Don't see him anywhere.
Big Hero 6....was it any good?
Big Hero 6 wasnt that good
Shouldn't have been Lubeszki
Poor Roger Deakins will never win it.
He's a great cinematographer with a great body of work but there is no way Unbroken was better looking than Birdman or Grand Budapest Hotel.
Don't, it's so overrated.
Whiplash has swept all categories, right? Well deserved too. Fantastic editing to make a film about jazz come to life.
Is Terence Howard drunk?
