Would love to see what everyone is predicting to win. I still have a few more I need to see so I'll post mine closer to the 28th.

Frownland 01-14-2016 08:52 AM

Positive that The Revanent will at least rake in the cinematography award, most likely best pic too. I've seen very few of these though since I'm too broke to afford the cinema and my computer is too slow to stream or torrent whole films.

Chula Vista 01-14-2016 08:55 AM

The Academy is finally going to give Leo his statue.

The Identity Matrix 01-14-2016 08:55 AM

I kind of hoped they would put Star Wars for Best Picture just to get people to watch the award show but it seems they used Mad Max instead. I haven't seen it though so if it actually is good, which I will see this weekend, then I hope it gets George Miller the Oscar for Best Director.

grindy 01-14-2016 08:56 AM

Yeah, I've only seen 3-4 movies on that list.
But that reminds me:
Anyone else thinks that "Writing's on the Wall", the song from Spectre, is cringe-inducingly terrible? Talk about bad lyrics. Not that the music itself is any better.

The Identity Matrix 01-14-2016 08:57 AM

Oh I hated that song. I don't really care about that award though since most songs for movies are not really that great.

Plus when the soundtrack is phenomenal it gets passed over for a pop ditty.

Dunno. The other contenders don't seem that strong, but still...

BTW, you owe me 25 bucks.

Frownland 01-14-2016 09:05 AM

I hope he gets it, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he didn't.

The Identity Matrix 01-14-2016 09:06 AM

Right now I would give DiCaprio the edge over the rest of them but Fassbender of Redmayne might rip it from him.

He won the Golden Globe. You are usually a shoe in when winning that award. Dicaprio is gonna win. Redmayne was phenomenal and deserves the award if you ask me. Not sure who was asking but Mad Max Fury Road was horrible.

grindy 01-14-2016 09:39 AM

Anyone else rooting for Rylance to win Best Supporting Actor?
Bridge Of Spies was alright, nothing special, but his performance was amazing.
Not that Hardy wouldn't deserve the award as well.

He's won Golden Globes in the past and lost the Oscar though. The dudes body of work is so impressive when you think about it. He could have won the AA for at least 6 of his flicks.

Hes certainly worthy of an Oscar most years. He really has a knack for choosing the right roles and has improved at his trade film to film. Lots of people grow stagnant and can't evolve, but Dicaprio is the ultimate acting chameleon. Even at a very young age he was a rather commanding character in anything he chose. Basketball Diaries comes to mind.

I'd say he's a shoe in if it weren't for his history of getting snubbed.

I believe that will be the deciding factor. You can't deny him this year. And the award goes to Eddie Redmayne...................I'd like to dedicate this award to Leonardo Dicaprio.

Frownland 01-14-2016 10:11 AM

Imagine if he did win and turned it down or did some sort of similar "go **** yourselves, Academy." Maybe if he said that during his speech.

Sorry Leonardo, can't be here tonight, he had a prior engagement at a Greek Island with some supermodels. He made this video from his yacht, so here it goes. So Leo how does it feel to get the monkey off your back? Boats and Hoes man Boats and Hoes!!!

He mainly does theatre. He was head of the Globe for years. He's also in Wolf Hall which is probably the best performance I've seen on TV.

Here's a clip of him in Henry V to illustrate:

Leonardo can **** off. Ennio Morricone got his Oscar after more than 70 goddamn years of waiting.

...for a pretty forgettable, partly reused score.

Frownland 02-28-2016 11:09 PM

I honestly haven't heard it or seen The Hateful Eight, but reputation is half of the game these days.

He deserves a dozen Oscars. Just funny that he finally got his first for that one.

Chula Vista 02-28-2016 11:44 PM

Frownland can **** off. Leo finally got his due. Every single person in that room knew it. The guy has been killing it for years.

Frownland 02-28-2016 11:58 PM

*whistles* bwam bwam bwam

Plainview 02-29-2016 04:16 AM

Rylance won! Amazing. They tend to favour over the top and flashy Supporting performances over the really subtle, understated stuff, so it's a pleasant surprise. Very well deserved.

Goofle 02-29-2016 05:36 AM

Brad Pitt hasn't won an Oscar so fuck the Oscars.

What should he have won for?

DeadChannel 02-29-2016 07:20 AM

I'm not a huge Oscars fan, but Ennio winning was great.

Goofle 02-29-2016 07:28 AM

Are the Oscars specifically for American films?

And I don't know which film Brad Pitt should have won for. I just know that he deserves one.
