I'm not going to go out of my way to criticize people for not liking Birdman because it sounds like a ton of people didn't like Birdman, but at the same time I do think of people who didn't like Birdm

Hi.

I joined this poker forum so I wouldn't have to deal with a bunch of women.

I'm full out in Birdman mode. I suspect that Keaton and Screen writing will be the only nods it gets, but I really, really want it to get directed. It would be a slam-dunk almost any year, but the novelty of Boyhood will create a lot of buzz.

 

A lot of anger on twitter about the lack of PoC and Women in the big categories. I haven't seen Selma yet, so I can't comment on the injustice of any of it, but i will say it is a loaded year

Its annoying to me that people cry racism after oscar noms? Like seriosuly, must everything be about the white man oprressing everyone? Can Selma not be nominated for a lot of awards because it just didn't deserve it? Is that not possible?

 

Just playing martin luther king jr in a movie doesn't mean your denzel in training day, with some transcedent performance.

 

Boo hoo, all the actor noms were white people. Cry me a fckin river.

I think the most overrated film getting nominated is Foxcatcher. I thought it was good, but not in the same league as the other movies getting nominated. I'm really confused as to why Mark Ruffalo is getting so many accolades for his part. He really wasn't in that much of the movie and nothing stuck out to me as award winning acting. I think Selma should have taken the place of all Foxcatcher's noms. Selma was very good.

 

Birdman and Whiplash were by far my favorite movies of the year, and I just saw American Sniper and it ranks up there. I'm happy to see it got nominations

 

The only thing I haven't seen yet is Boyhood. People either love it or say it's boring. I have a hard time getting excited for a movie with a long running time when people are saying it is boring. I'll get around to it eventually.

Inherent Vice is pretty easily the best 2014 movie I've seen. I haven't seen a lot of the nominated movies, but it's lame that PT didn't get more love for it from the academy. He did write the screenplay and is nominated for adapted screenplay but probably won't win, and that's its only nomination other than costume design.

 

It was leaps and bounds better than The Imitation Game, which is nominated in most of the major categories but which I thought was pretty disappointing. I love me some Cumberbatch but the film just wasn't great.

I loved Vice, but Birdman is the best movie I've seen in years. Vice was great, though. It was PTA's Big Lebowski.

Huh. I haven't seen Birdman yet but I've been looking forward to it. Now I'm a bit more excited.

 

Inherent Vice still got a heavy snub though. It easily could (should) have been nominated for best picture, since they enlarged that category and it can now include up to 10 nominees. Shoulda been nominated for director too, certainly over The Imitation Game.

 

 

"Fun" Fact: PT Anderson has never won an Oscar. Really.

 

- He was nominated for original screenplay for Boogie Nights but lost to Good Will Hunting.

 

- He was nominated for original screenplay for Magnolia but lost to American Beauty (he was also up against Being John Malkovich).

 

- He was nominated for adapted screenplay, directing, and best picture for There Will Be Blood but lost to No Country For Old Men in all 3 categories.

boogie nights should have swept every category. i don't even need to see what it was up against.

 

edit: damn it was up against good will hunting. so maybe not a landslide, but still should have won. titanic is a joke.
