VOTE!!!
American Sniper is not good. Cooper was good but the screenplay was awful. I can't believe it was nominated for Screenplay and Best Picture. Actually, I can believe it. That fukking agenda. Terrible.
Fincher should have picked up a nom for Gone Girl, Best Director, he was snubbed and How the fukk did Gone Girl not have a Best Cinematography nom?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifes...98f87c-92a6-11e4-ba53-a477d66580ed_story.htmlPost is my hometown paper and a bastion of liberal values. That's an op-ed written by a member of LBJ's staff. The Post' film critic has had nothing but praise for Selma and I believe someone else who writes for it calls it the most important movie to come along in a long time
Hornaday?
And here's a defense of the movie

I still need to see Selma but I'm sure it was better directed than The Imitation Game which somehow is one of the 5 best directed movies of the year 
Is the Imitation Game really better directed than Gone Girl?, Whiplash? Inherent Vice?
Also that actor in a leading role category is a fukking travesty this year. Again, I haven't seen Selma yet but how can you not nominate Jake Gyllenhaal
Cooper and Cumberbatch
And Carrell... let's be honest that role was a bit over the top.

Yup. Ann Hornaday. She looked at LBJ in the film the same way I did

for the hate for Cumberbatch's performanceGTFO with that
The backlash toward Selma was overblown and stupid.
None of the movies inspired by true events were 100% accurate.
The Schultz Brothers never lived on DuPont's property at the same time as was shown in Foxcatcher.
The homosexuality of the lead character in the Imitation Game was a blip on the screen.
American Sniper is based on a book that was likely 60-70% lies.

Outside of Sherlock an Smaug I am not here for Benedict Cumberbatch.
GTFO with that
yes.. even if when he grows up its not as good as when he's young it's still worth seeing.....once
I said this in another thread, but that movie could have been GREAT rather than just good if they had gone deeper into this.
as one review i read said he was an "intellectual asexual" for most of the movie..then its like..oh yea im gay.
edit: and agreed with @g-ice da gawd as usual.. cumberbatch was great in it

Neither am I but his performance is worthy of an nod. It's Cooper and Carrell that shouldn't be there. They replaced Jake and Oyelowo.
Grand Budapest with 9 noms. 
Ralph Fiennes should have got a nom.

The only thing satisfying about these nods was the love for Grand Budapest. Outside of that 
Also dope that Alexandre Desplat got a nom for Grand Budapest score. Thought he killed it.
