So in about five hours, the nominations for the 2012 Academy Awards will be released! who will lead? who will upset?
hot favourites include
a silent movie that's pissing off a lot of people that hate old school things but making the Academy Awards pee themselves
some movie about Hawaii that Dean Pelton wrote?
Scorsese's love letter to...France, or kids, or Hit Girl or whatever (which you should see, it's pretty good)
or any number of others! I dunno there's a lot of good stuff out
but the point is that I am suuuuupppeeerrr busy around this time makin' my own movie and working and all that jazz! if there's an intense demand for the pool, I'll see what I can do, but honestly I might have to ask someone else to step up here
PM me if you wanna take the reins and I'll set up the OP however you want, otherwise, happy speculating!

I'll still enter the pool but it will be all guesses.
Albert Brooks will get a nom, it'll probably pick up cinematography
I am willing it to get a Best Picture nod but I have my doubts
I had a good time.
Satans..... hints.....
2011 was the year of catching up on shit you didn't watch, or telling people that drive owned
I would love that to happen
Oh! And The Guard. If The Guard gets snubbed like In Bruges got snubbed I will not stand for it
I will sit down

Drive fucking owned, though
I'll always remember that bedroom scene
And what a soundtrack
PSN ID : DetectiveOlivaw | TWITTER | STEAM ID | NEVER FORGET
the elevator scene
or albert brooks an oscar for skilled handshakes
man, harold and kumar's 3D christmas was by far the biggest disappointment
you were indeed
three way tie between me, Monkeyfeet and Larlar was a hell of a thing, though!
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
Satans..... hints.....
Moneyball was good times.
Satans..... hints.....
it was in line being little more than a movie about a man optimizing his magic the gathering deck and realizing that if he better utilized his uncommon card instead of his rare ones than he would have something and he loses the tourney anyway, and he shaves he pubes while drinkin bawls root beer
It ended in a way I did not expect! That is not how movies based on true stories are supposed to end

holy fuck Anjin
I wanna see this movie way more
MagicBawls
You know what was shit?
Fuckin War Horse
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
I disagree! I thought it was very well-shot and generally a good time
but holy fuck was it manipulative
It was a movie that made statistical analysis seem interesting
I was impressed
Also Philip Seymour Hoffman was a jerk in that movie, you wanted Brad Pitt to drop kick him in the throat so bad

I didn't like it cause I felt the whole thing was huge cause of the amazing puppetry in the Broadway show
and this whole thing was just real horses walkin around gettin talked to
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
fuckin' joy on earth
It will sweep all the awards
I've known that since the first trailer
Period piece, war movie, British costume drama, inspirational, an animal as a primary character
All it needs is a gay man dealing with discrimination and it would win every single category

See this is why I haven't seen it.
Because it's Spielberg just 'berging everywhere. It's animals, war, (guessing kids), handsome people with a small smear of dirt on their face. I've seen it all before.
Plus I wanted to see tintin more.

I fell asleep at the end though...,

Hell of a movie that was

fucking
Shame.
Shame was great times.
I still need to see A Dangerous Method
OH AND TAKE SHELTER
TAKE SHELTER WAS FAN FOOBOOFREAKING TASTIC
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
finally, a movie that caters to my black republican sociopath heart that longs for cameras in my bathroom
I haven't seen Take Shelter! I still want to!

FUCK that ending
fuck it so hard
godfuckingdammit that movie could have been great if they cut the last thirty seconds
there'll be a scene where her and ronald reagan are just shooting the shit, eating a dead nine year old
