I saw Blue Jasmine. Move is overrated but Cate was great. I agree with that choice. Also saw Dallas Buyers Club and loved both Matthew Mc and Leto. Both are deserving.

Looking forward to seeing American Hustle.

Should be Leo and Jonah winning for the Wolf of Wall Street.

2014 Oscar nominations announced

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Tough, tough choices. My vote for best picture is a toss up between Dallas Buyers Club and 12 Years a Slave. Best Actor probably Dicaprio although I would not be mad if McConaughey wins it. I've only seen Amy Adams for actresses. Jared Leto for supporting actor definitely. For best supporting actress probably J-Law since I don't recognize the others.

[KansasSooner]

George C. Scott was right about the Oscars...

Probably the second most useless award after the Heisman.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

I want to change my best picture vote to 12 years a slave definitively. Also, Captain Phillips got snubbed.

@KansasSooner Eh, it's something to talk about in a convo for 5 mins, not much else.

[seahawksfan234]

Thought I'd throw up a poll for this since the academy awards are tomorrow.

There were a number of terrific films this year and this is a very difficult decision. Which do you think deserves the win?

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

12 Years a Slave in my book.

 

[cezero]

I've only seen 12 Years and Wolf.

I liked 12 Years better overall.

Of course, I thought The Departed was one of the worst films Scorsese has made (still better than most films out there), and it won him his first Oscar. So who knows.

 

[seahawksfan234]

12 Years a Slave in my book.

I think that will be what wins and for me it is a toss-up between that and The Wolf of Wall Street. The Wolf of Wall Street was more entertaining, but 12 Years a Slave was more emotional and remarkably well acted.

I've seen 5 of the movies on this list and this is how I would rank them:
1. 12 Years a Slave
2. The Wolf of Wall Street
3. Gravity
4. American Hustle
5. Captain Phillips

All were very, very, good movies.

Really? I thought The Departed was one of his best. The Wolf of Wall Street really was a departure (no pun intended) from the movies he typically makes. Wolf was different from what I expected, but I really loved it.

Gravity was good, but I kept getting Dizzy watching this film like if I was in the film going around in circles. :dizzy:

I thought the visuals in that film were remarkable. It was best experienced in IMAX 3D IMO.

Yeah, I'm in the minority with The Departed, I know. I'd still give it an 8/10, but most of his others or 9 or 10.

I'd give Wolf 8.5/10

Just me.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

My vote goes to Wolf but I know it isn't coming close to winning.

I think it will be American Hustle even though I think 12 years, gravity and captain Phillips are more deserving.
