85th Annual Academy Awards (2013)

[Tacit Ronin]

The Ma...... oh wait.

2012, the year of the bow and arrow.

Whats 2013?

The year of the slingshot? trident? baseball bat?

I think Deakins is due. This is what, his tenth nomination? And his work in Skyfall is awesome. He should have this in the bank.

I hope he wins. Ten nominations without a win is crazy.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Deakins better win.

Even Batman wants to join in the fun.

 

[BatLobster]

Even Batman wants to join in the fun.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Actually, Nolan is so smart he saw the archery coming and wanted to make a comment through parody.

 

[Snow Queen]

Wait, there was a second Abe Lincoln movie this year? Pshaw.

There was.

Spoiler

 

[Snow Queen]

I know, right?

Didn't the Hunger Games win Best Picture? And they gave Nicki Minaj an award?

This is what happens when only teenage girls vote.

I'd call that offensive to teenage girls. What it should say is "This is what happens when only teenagers that are caught up in the newest fad and think it's great because it's new vote." in my opinion. That award show is such a joke that it's almost not even funny anymore.

Thank you. Teenage boys aren't always the pinnacle of great taste in pop culture either, so I'd say the blame goes around to all demographics.

And that award show is ridiculous. I watched it for about 10 minutes last year, and gave up when they were announcing the winners with smartphones.

 

[Pink Ranger]

There was.

Spoiler

The image isn't showing, but as I always do, I will assume it is porn.

Oh yeah. See Transformers 3 getting a Best Picture nomination.

Not porn then. Really, is an Abe Lincoln porn movie too much to ask? Get to work, Zemeckis!

 

[Filmboy]

I guess whoever wins this Sunday's Golden Globes will have a higher chance of getting an Oscar too??

 

[Liam_H]

Nope. You're probably thinking of the guild awards.

 

[Number 6]

Yeah, the Guild awards are a much better indication of who will win those awards since they share a lot of voters with the Academy. The Golden Globes is an entirely different set of ****ers.

 

[CGHulk]

I don't care who wins or loses, in the end it's just a bunch of old people deciding who finally wins.

[Earthland]

Im not bashing, Im just having a spirited discussion and if people dont agree with me thats fine, Im not here to be a puppet and agree with everybody and not bring anything new to the table. If you dont like the tunes Im spinning dont listen. scroll right on bye til something strikes ya. What Im doing is no different then someone like skip bayless who just speaks there mind in an public forum.

I wasn't talking to you

 

[jmc]

Something tells me that might not be the case this year.

Fair enough. I had Twilight on my mind.

We can still all agree that its a joke.

 

[Snow Queen]

Oh, it is absolutely a joke. It's the most pathetic award show out there.

I'll just stick with the YouReviewers Awards.

 

[CConn]

I just got around to watching Beasts of the Southern Wild. If that was the best performance, in the best movie of the year, then I'm Bea Arthur.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Hi, Bea.

 

[lime]

I'm little disappointed that TDKR didn't get any nominations. Now it's the only Batman film alongside Batman & Robin with no nominations. And the first of the last 5 Nolan movies with no nomination.

I do think it deserved to be nominated for Sound or VFX.
