Hope you enjoyed the Golden Globes yesterday (and maybe even used it as a warm up) because the MOTHERFUCKING OSCARS ARE COMING!!
The 86th Annual Academy Awards takes place on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at the Dolby Theater in LA. The event will be broadcast in the US on ABC as it has been since the dawn of time (or 1976, ABC's got the contract for the Oscars til 2020!)
Yay its not Seth McFarlane! Yay Ellen Degeneres is hosting! It is her second time hosting the show, she was host of the 79th edition back in 2007, which I don't remember but was probably great!
These are likely to be your nominees for Best Picture:
So let's see if someone (read: @Bogey) can be the best predictor of Oscars of them all and win the big prize! And what will they win?
@YaYa has pledged:
A blu-ray/DVD (winner's choice) of the Best Picture winner
A five-page script featuring five elements of the winner's choice
@Goose! has pledged:
2 readmission movie passes good for any Regal Cinemas location (but not on RPX, IMAX, 3D, or Special Events) or a gift card for an equivalent if no applicable theater is available.
@UnbreakableVow has pledged:
Any 2013 film on Blu-ray/DVD (winner's choice)
@Balefuego has pledged:
@YaYa's soul
@Sweeney Tom had pledged:
The "Gift of Leo" (one random Leonardo DiCaprio movie)
@Marathon has pledged:
Blu-ray, DVD, or book (winner's choice) of movie from the Best Adapted Screenplay category (also winner's choice)
@Raijin Quickfoot has pledged:
One DVD or blu-ray if the winner's choice ($20 limit)
Yaya and I will play along but won't be claiming any prizes (not that I'm ever any good at pickin' anyhow).
Stay tuned!
The Nominations have been announced and now its time! Click below to enter your ballot into the pool! Only 1 ballot per player. Predictions are due by Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 11:59:59 PM ET (all entries are timestamped). Good luck!

who are you people
I will pledge a Blu-ray/DVD of any 2013 film to the winner
you a bro
you the broest
So prepared to have not seen any of the movies nominated
At least last year around this time I'd been working in a movie theater and had even a sense of things
Sandra Bullock might be a good call for that one
Nonono
Gravity
I want so many prize pledges that every entrant has to give something to the winner
someone pledge their soul as a prize
If Scarlett gets screwed out of a nomination then
Well
That would suck
I'd still likely give it to Bullock this year though
I pledge YaYa's soul as a prize
What in the world
She's the lead female role
Her voice gets nearly as much screentime as the film's lead actor
I think it's her own choice what category to submit for, and obviously she's much more likely to get nominated for supporting
Steam
McConaughhey and Leto
It's like they're custom-generating a film I never want to see
@Goose! put this in the OP
Pacific Rim
World War Z
Elysium
Pacific Rim wins all the awards.
god, if only
it's the studio's choice ultimately IIRC, but otherwise this is true
note Hailey Steinfeld being nominated as Supporting Actress for True Grit despite being in more of the movie than Jeff Bridges
Pacific Rim wouldn't really win any of those
best supporting actor Cherno Alpha
yeah we're kidding dude, Pacific Rim is not getting shit, especially not in the same year that Gravity came out
the Kodak theatre would be burned to the ground if Gravity didn't win Best Effects
hell, I'll call it now, the Best Effects nominations are gonna be Gravity, The Hobbit and probably Thor
I would like to see it but I am sad that it will be at home
Also, I'll throw in for the prize bag. @Goose! I'll get the winner either a dvd/blu-ray of their choice or a copy of a book from the "best adapted screenplay" category, also their choice.
But man
I still think Michael B. Jordan would be my personal pick for Best Actor this year
That was pretty funny
Remember that time Crash won.
That never happened
Do you understand me, Bale?
That never happened.
Crash winning is the worst thing that has ever happened.
