Official Oscar 2014 Nominations: Let the fukkery begin (Updated with Official Nominations)
- Thread starter MartyMcFly
- Start date
Just watched 12 Years A Slave for the second time earlier today and I'm convinced more than ever that it's undeniably the best movie of the year, McQueen deserves Best Director, Lupita deserves Best Supporting Actor, and Chiwetol Ejiofor deserves Best Actor. I was on the fence between him and Leo but no. People on here arguing that Chiwetol didn't do any real acting until the end are ducking retarded and have ZERO idea what true acting is all about. If. You think that his performance as Solomon didn't add gravitas to that entire film then 
. The despair, desperation, anger, shame, all wrapped within the demeanor of a free man witnessing for the first time how the world views he and people of color as cattle is nothing short of astounding. Brilliant work from all involved.

I aint claiming shyt. Hollywood and the Oscars are political. It aint just lets give the award to the best person/best movie etc. There is a whole lot of wheeling and dealing behind the scenes.
He's actually sort of right. One example: In 1967, Doctor Dolittle was a critical and box office failure. However, when Oscar nomination time came around, according to the book Behind the Oscar, Fox (the studio behind the film) mounted an unparalleled nomination campaign at which Academy members were wined and dined. As a result, the film was nominated for nine Oscars, including Best Picture.
Another one is Citizen Kane. William Randolph Hearst (the man that the movie was "loosely" based on), wanted the movie to fail and told the Motion Picture Industry - "I'm going to badmouth all of you in the paper if this movie succeeds." He called for the assassination of President McKinley in his paper once and someone actually did it. He had them by their collective balls. Kane failed at the BO due to marketing and was booed every time it was announced at the Oscars that year.

Best Actor is now Leo Vs Matthew. Chietwel is just getting lost in the shuffle sadly. But Matthews Sag speech was over the top, lol. Jered Leto seems to be a lock for Supporting Actor. And Luptia for the females. Director is Steven Vs Alfonso. Picture I think it's 12 years to lose. They may very well spead the love come Oscar time I don't know if there's a clear cut overall winner but based on the most nominations from "American Hustle, Gravity and 12 Years" I feels 12 Years should win all the Big awards.
It's Mathews year
Also I liked american hustle but it's starting to get overrated
You can see how the media is trying to make this movie a classic

LOL, she did. As soon as I saw that I was like "Oh shyt, Cate Ethered the hell out of Matthew". I mean that speech was too much. Just go up there, get your award and keep it moving. Dude decided to go on a damn "Why I am an Actor" tyraid. LOL. I couldn't stop laughing and then when Cate Ethered him I was laughing harder.

She wasn't looking that bad either
Can't recall any movies I've seen of her... Aviator and the Lord of the Rings but I don't remember them nor her person
Cate is an amazing actress. She commands damn near every role she does. She's most famous for her Queen Elizabeth films. As well as Lord of the Rings/Hobbit. "Aviator" she won an Oscar doing a spot on portrayal of Katherine Hepburn. She was also in Indiana Jones 4 and Benjamin Button. Looks like she going to get her 2nd Oscar this year. Honestly I'm not even a Big fan of Woody Allen Films but his movies always produce Oscar Winning Actors.
