Oscars 2012, or: YaYa probably can't run the pool this year

YaYaYaYa Decent.Registered User regular
edited January 2012 in Social Entropy++
So in about five hours, the nominations for the 2012 Academy Awards will be released! who will lead? who will upset?

hot favourites include

The-Artist.jpg

a silent movie that's pissing off a lot of people that hate old school things but making the Academy Awards pee themselves

Descendants-posterAU.jpg

some movie about Hawaii that Dean Pelton wrote?

hugo-poster_400x592.jpg

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!

YaYa on

    I haven't seen a single 2011 movie.

    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

    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 I enjoyed, but it felt overrated.

    Moneyball was the best Brad Pitt Throws Things movie I've ever seen

    Oh yeah, moneyball.

    Moneyball was good times.

  • Calamity JaneCalamity Jane That Wrong Love Registered User regular
    oh that's kinda interesting!

    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

    moneyball was boring as fuck, and i could get past the fact it was baseball and the fact it was baseball stat crunching centric

    Moneyball wasn't so much about baseball as it was about math and business and stuff. And sweet Trade Deadline moves

    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

    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.
