We're seeing The Martian at the dollar theater tonight.
We liked all the movies we've seen in the past month or two: Black Mass, Bridge of Spies, Steve Jobs, Creed, Spotlight... I want to see Brooklyn, Carol, and Room. The Revenant is a big question mark for me as to whether I will go see it or not. I like Leo but not really the goriness. I don't need to see it to predict him for Best Actor.
I really liked Room - well done and great acting by Brie Larson and Jacob Trembley. During the very climatic scene halfway through the movie, I was absolutely shaking. I also cried a lot, so it's not a real "feel good" movie, but still really good.
I really would like to see Carol. I am iffy on The Revenant.
Post by oscarnerdjulief on Dec 3, 2015 19:00:13 GMT -5
Thanks for the review. I liked Brie Larson in Short Term 12. Many critics were talking positively about her and wanted her to get a nomination for it. (Kris Tapley and Anne Thompson among them)
Of the movies I haven't seen yet, I am very excited to see Brooklyn. I might see Carol and Danish Girl when they're on VOD, but that will probably be after the ceremony. I'm still really iffy on Revenant because I read the book. It may be too gory for me. I try to go to movies that my husband and I will both like. If I had to look away from The Martian when Matt Damon pulled a little piece of debris out of his chest, I think Revenant may be a bridge too far. Plus I am still mad that Inarritu got the Oscars that Linklater and Anderson should've had.

So I saw Spotlight this past weekend and was very meh about it. I am ok with Mark Ruffalo not getting nominated because I thought he completely overacted and his accent was just THE WORST.
Post by oscarnerdjulief on Dec 10, 2015 19:29:19 GMT -5
I think that Spotlight's campaign of running everybody in supporting will keep Keaton and Ruffalo out of supporting actor. Until the precursors, they were considered probable nominees and perhaps winner.
It's still the film to beat for picture. I could see a split with Scott in director.
Actress/supporting actress depend on how much the Academy swallows blatant category fraud. I think our winners are Larson, Leo, Rylance (though my heart wants Stallone because I thought he's the best in the category), and Mara. Ronan could spoil. I don't see anyone winning Best Actor but Leo. Mara has it in the bag if she goes supporting; it's the big way they can reward "Carol."
Golden Globe nominees are SO much better than SAG. Best director and best actress could be the exact five Oscar lineups if not for category fraud.
Golden Globe Noms: Best Drama Actor:
Leonardo DiCaprio Bryan Cranston Michael Fassbender Eddie Redmayne Will Smith
Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical:
Al Pacino, Matt Damon, and three other people
Best Supporting Actor (so much better than SAG):
Sylvester Stallone Mark Rylance (double nominee) Paul Dano Idris Elba (double nominee) Michael Shannon
So I saw Spotlight this past weekend and was very meh about it. I am ok with Mark Ruffalo not getting nominated because I thought he completely overacted and his accent was just THE WORST.
Spotlight's like Argo---actors' movie, inoffensive, everybody "likes" it. The very fact that its actors probably won't get nominated makes it more likely to get rewarded for Best Picture.
Has to be considered the frontrunner by default unless Trumbo goes on a run. "Trumbo" is all about the actors, and God knows "Birdman" taught us they love love love watching movies about themselves. (For the 100th time, Boyhood and Linklater were robbed, not to mention Wes Anderson for screenplay.)
Golden Globes are hard to remember and keep straight because of all the categories. I wonder who's going to be the surprise nominee. My "no guts, no glory" pick out of nowhere, if one comes, is either Jessica Chastain for the Martian or Joan Allen for Room.
I kinda "get" the Golden Globes; if Stallone and Ronan don't win here, I'd say they won't win the Academy Award. (Kinda like when Keaton and DeNiro didn't win SAG for "Birdman" and "Silver Linings Playbook," I knew they couldn't win Oscar. )
Post by oscarnerdjulief on Dec 12, 2015 11:53:05 GMT -5
I am now starting to think that Trumbo may win Best Picture, especially if Spotlight does not get any acting nominations. There's not much precedent for movies without any acting noms to get best picture. I hope if it does get a nom that it's for Keaton and/or Ruffalo, not McAdams who did not do much at all.
Do you agree or disagree with me that Kristen Stewart, Beasts of No Nation, and Big Short are just not AMPAS's style and won't get in for supporting actress and picture respectively? (Beasts and Big Short may get acting nominations.)
I wonder if Cranston will end up winning Best Actor over Leo. It's been fatal for Leo in the past to be an early frontrunner (Aviator, Django, J. Edgar)
Post by osumelissa on Dec 12, 2015 12:14:19 GMT -5
Yes I agree that Stewart, Beasts, and Big Short will not get nominated. This reminds me that I still need to watch Beasts of No Nation on Netflix one night.
Post by oscarnerdjulief on Dec 12, 2015 22:42:42 GMT -5
I heard that Big Short was divisive, so I am figuring the Academy bypasses it even though it has SAG and Golden Globe. I bet Bale's in, though.
Another big question relates to category placement. I keep reading that Rooney Mara, Alicia Vikander, Jacob Tremblay, and Paul Dano are being campaigned in supporting even though they're lead? In that case, I hope Rooney's nominated in supporting because I think she'll win, but overall it's kinda like cheating on the studio's part and not right. The Weinstein Company is almost certain campaigning Mara in supporting so she has a better chance to win and won't compete with Cate. Great for her, but wrong for the actual supporting actresses who won't get nominated and win.
Alicia Vikander's in a tough spot because had she been campaigned proper in lead for Danish Girl she could've had a double nomination: lead for Danish Girl, supporting for Ex Machina.
Here are my predictions for noms right now. They could change after Critics Choice and just based on my gut.
Edited on January 13
Best Picture: Spotlight, Revenant, Big Short, Mad Max, The Martian, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, Sicario, Straight Outta Compton
winner: I fear it will be Revenant.
Best Actress: Larson, Ronan, Blanchett, Lawrence, Rampling Best Actor: DiCaprio, Carell, Damon, Fassbender, Redmayne
winner: DiCaprio
Best Supporting Actress: Mara, Vikander, Winslet, Leigh, McAdams winner: Mara or Winslet
What a bummer; Supporting Actress is so weak compared to supporting actor where there's 9 or 10 guys vying for five slots. , Best Supporting Actor: Rylance, Stallone, Bale, Ruffalo, Del Toro winner: Stallone alt. Rylance
Yes I agree that Stewart, Beasts, and Big Short will not get nominated. This reminds me that I still need to watch Beasts of No Nation on Netflix one night.
It took me a while to get into it, but I ended up liking it. Elba's not in my personal top five, but I think he will get in to reward the movie and avoid the OscarsSoWhite hue and cry from last year.
I guess SAGs didn't care that they're SAGsSoMale. Honestly, in the year of Carol, Brooklyn, Room, and the not as well received Joy and Suffragette, they pick five SAG ensembles with no lead actress among them. Blah. You can't spell "sausagefest" without "SAG."

Post by oscarnerdjulief on Dec 27, 2015 13:14:51 GMT -5
I saw "Joy" yesterday---not really Oscar-baity but an entertaining film with above average performances. Lawrence carries the film, and Elisabeth Rohm and Robert De Niro had very good supporting performances. It probably will have 0 or 1 Oscar nominees, but it was a nice film to watch the day after Christmas.
I would do Oscar nominee predictions, but I am still really stymied by Best Supporting Actor. Plus there's category confusion with Rooney Mara, Alicia Vikander, and Paul Dano.
Right now, here's where I am:
Best Picture: Spotlight, The Martian, Mad Max, Carol, The Revenant, Big Short, Room, Inside Out alt. Brooklyn, Hateful Eight Best Director: Scott, McCarthy, Inarritu, Haynes, Miller alt. Spielberg, McKay Best Actress: Larson, Ronan, Blanchett, Vikander, Mara (Rampling and J.Law if the last two go supporting) Best Actor: Damon, Depp, DiCaprio, Fassbender, Redmayne alt. Cranston Best Supporting Actress: Leigh, Mara, Vikander in a rare double nomination, McAdams, Mirren alt. Fonda Best Supporting Actor: Rylance, Stallone, Ruffalo, Bale, Dano alt. Elba, Tremblay, Shannon
Supporting actor is very difficult. There are almost two full lineups.

Spotlight was snubbed in Editing. If it wins Best Picture at the Oscars, it will only be the third Best Picture winner to not get an ACE Eddie nominations.
Carol and Brooklyn were snubbed in Art Direction (guilds).
Producers Guild Awards---this is one of the most important guilds.

I was excited to see the nod for Ex Machina (Straight Outta Compton too, but I haven't seen that one yet so haven't been rooting for it as much).

Cinematographers guild nominees seem to be great choices:
Bridge of Spies Mad Max The Revenant Carol Sicario---14th nomination for Roger Deakins
WGA (Writers' guild): Room and Brooklyn were ineligible. Revenant was snubbed, probably because there's not as much dialogue. Inside Out was not included.
Adapted Screenplay:
Big Short Carol The Martian Steve Jobs Trumbo
Original Screenplay:
Sicario Straight Outta Compton Trainwreck Bridge of Spies one other one I forget right now

The USC Scripter nominees; the award is for the literary work and the movie.
(snubs: Steve Jobs, Carol)
End of the Tour Room Brooklyn :-) The Martian The Big Short
I'm hoping the scripter is more "chick" than "bro," but I doubt it. I have to assume it's Big Short, but would love if it's Brooklyn. I see Martian as the spoiler.
I stopped caring what the Scripter voters thought when they passed over "Lincoln." That's one of the few award snubs I really cared about, along with Linklater's snub for director, Viola Davis losing to Streep, and Social Network/Fincher losing to Hooper. I know people say Lubezski was robbed for Tree of Life, but I hated that movie, so I'm ok with "Hugo."
