    The Razzies people have also ripped Adam Sandler's shit wide open and tend to not let crappy movies slide so I'm willing to forgive a few mistakes here and there.

    They are using a super offensive slur as part of a 'joke' about transformers

    It is just me or does the Academy treat animated movies the same way some gamers treat Nintendo products?

    Evidently I haven't seen any of the best picture/best actor/actress movies.

    I'm interested in seeing The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything and Boyhood though.

    When I started reading this post I thought it was a troll/joke and then I got to the end and now I'm just confused.

    What? They are nominated, I haven't seen them and am interested in seeing them. What?

    Those first 2 and American Sniper are the movies we are all talking about as undeserving.

    Oh.

    They looked interesting to me and are about scientists I admire which is why I'm interested in seeing them. Have not kept up with reviews.

    Well Imitation Game is about some fictional scientist with the same name as the one from real history.

    eeeeh sort of? She has as much screen time as the first film

    And also it was nice to just have two young people in a relationship and the whole movie isn't about that

    It's a mediocre movie about a guy who's a proven bold faced liar whom the right built up into a great american hero.

    I know it's in no small part because way more people have seen the Lego movie, but it's a little disappointing that more people seem upset about that than about Selma getting shut out of the acting/directing categories.

    Selma not gettig much recognition is more a symptom of a very late release date and a poor campaign. Plus a lazy group of voters who can't be bothered to see anything that isn't mailed to them.

    I wonder if Original Screenplay is where Nightcrawler will get its only award

    That seems to be the place where they reward stuff like that and Her

    I hope Boyhood doesn't win

    It's really good

    The script is not why

    Everyone see Birdman

    I know it's not going to win

    I am just so happy it got nominated

    Bale what is so bad about The Theory of Everything?

    As for any predictions, I don't think I know enough about this year's stuff

    I'd love Michael Keaton to take home Best Actor

    Edward Norton pretty much stands no chance in hell against J.K. Simmons, I'm assuming? I'm seeing Whiplash this weekend so I don't know yet

    Also I feel slight, slight vindication in The Lego Movie not being nominated for Best Animated

    But only slight because it really does seem like a well-made film that I just didn't enjoy at all (as opposed to a poorly-made film), and it seems like if The Boxtrolls of all things is on there then The Lego Movie should be too

    I'm glad it got nominated for Best Original Song though

    I am bummed that the score for Birdman did not get on there! In recent weeks I've discovered that it is the perfect soundtrack to do pretty much anything to

    I sure am glad that white dudes are finally getting a stake in Hollywood, it's been a long time coming.

    I mean could you imagine a war movie directed by Clint Eastwood receiving acknowledgment from the Academy even ten years ago, let alone fifty?

    It doesn't make the rest of the Animation nominations any less token and dumb.

    Lego Movie and Book of Life were robbed blind.

    Book of Life wasn't bad but not amazing

    Lego Movie is maybe my favorite animated movie ever and one of the best reviewed and most successful movies of last year

    is this the new movie thread

    is this where I lodge that I am sad the Lego movie didn't get a nomination

    not because it would have won, but because the animation style alone I think warranted a nod

    also I am confused by the discussion in the previous movies thread re: Foxcatcher being a true crime story

    it's not that at all, unless I missed something?
