[Seshmeister]

Is there some rule that Bond films are banned from getting nominations in main categories?

[Zing!]

That's called The Rule of Pretension.

[Hardrock69]

1. Screenplay for Skyfall was majestic. Criminal to neglect it. Cinematography was superb. Hope it at least wins that category.

2. Christoph Waltz is up against heavy talent in the Best Supporting Actor category, but he deserves to win. He was robbed when he was nominated for Inglorious Basterds but did not get the statue.

3. Good to see Joaquin Phoenix back.

4. Django Unchained is not going to win for best picture. Not against those other films.

5. Wow. Amazing The Hobbit was nominated for anything. Actually got 3 categories.

Though for the most part, the Grammys have a bunch of bullshit, the Oscars usually have worthy candidates and winners.
Friend of mine is a voting member of the Academy, tomorrow I am going to go to her pad to listen to a bunch of stuff that is up for possible nominations.

[High Life Man]

Waltz won the Oscar for Basterds.

[Angel]

Christopher Waltz was great in Django

[jhale667]

Christopher Waltz was great in Django

A gf just brought me copies of that and Skyfall, which I just checked out, and was bad ass!

[DONNIEP]

Is Skyfall out on DVD? I gotta get a copy!!

[So this is love]

Donnie I dont think so yet ...I was looking for it too....cheers btw dude!

[Sensible Shoes]

Although Daniel Day Lewis is probably going to get it for Lincoln, I loved Denzel Washington in Flight.

[jhale667]

Is Skyfall out on DVD? I gotta get a copy!!

It's not...I borrowed her Oscar screener copy... movie fucking rocks. Interesting that the Bond films keep getting darker...this one is waaaay dark.

[Nickdfresh]

It's not...I borrowed her Oscar screener copy... movie fucking rocks. Interesting that the Bond films keep getting darker...this one is waaaay dark.

I wish my sister would send me hers! She doesn't trust me..

[Seshmeister]

Lincoln and Django aren't out here yet.

I take it Lincoln is a hagiography and glosses over the fact he was a racist who it could be argued had a large part in causing the death of more Americans than anyone else in history?

[sadaist]

5. Wow. Amazing The Hobbit was nominated for anything. Actually got 3 categories.

This guy disagrees.....

[Seshmeister]

Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role

Nominees:
Jessica Chastain for Zero Dark Thirty (2012)
Jennifer Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook (2012)
Emmanuelle Riva for Amour (2012)
Quvenzhané Wallis for Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)
Naomi Watts for The Impossible (2012)

The next time an actor is coming out with a load of BS about the difficulty of their craft or more broadly telling us how they think the world should be run, it's worth remembering that they 'work' in a job that a fucking nine year old can master and reach the absolute pinnacle of their profession in....

[Hardrock69]

Golden Globes. Christoph Waltz got one for Django. And Holy Krap! Quentin Tarantino got Best Screenplay!

That's great.

Lincoln and Django aren't out here yet.

I take it Lincoln is a hagiography and glosses over the fact he was a racist who it could be argued had a large part in causing the death of more Americans than anyone else in history?

I saw Lincoln yesterday... really one of the best movies I've seen in years in that genre.

Had to look up hagiography... not a common term here. I'd say no... the movie didn't really position him in some saintly fashion. In many ways it portrayed him as a more common man with intelligent insight and good story teller. The main plot was focused on the dirty aspects of playing Washington politics that led up to passing of the 13th amendment. Even Lincoln himself pulled some dirty moves to get things aligned.

My favorite part was Lincoln telling a story about when Ethan Allen went to Britain to meet with the monarchy after the Revolution. He had to use the bathroom and found a picture of George Washington hung over the toilet or whatever they called them in the water closet. When he returned the English outfits asked him what he thought of the placement of the picture... he paused and stated it was one of the greatest things he'd seen... aghast they asked what do you mean? He said... "No faster way to get an Englishman to shit than the sight of George Washington!"

[Seshmeister]

The British monarchy at that time were more like a bunch of horrible greedy Germans than English.

There seems to be a real mythology that has been created around early US history which I thought would be box office poison for the film to take on.

Everything is always grey in history when dig into it properly, on the whole people are nicer nowadays than they ever were then...

[jhale667]

"Django Unchained" is worth checking out too, watched it last night...

[Seshmeister]

Is it a bit over long?

It's not out here yet although Tarantino has being doing a lot of media over here over the last week.

[jhale667]

Is it a bit over long?

It's not out here yet although Tarantino has being doing a lot of media over here over the last week.

Seemed like it was over two hours, though I didn't time it. It's pretty good. And funny watching Jamie Foxx almost gleefully shoot up all the people that deserved it in the film (including Samuel L. Jackson, who's nearly unrecognizable until he speaks).

The guy that was the main Nazi in "Inglorious Basterds" is a good-guy in this, and gives another great performance, one worthy of a best supporting actor" nod for sure.

[binnie]

I am surprised that 'Lawless' didn't pick up any nominations - there were some fantastic performances in that (particularly Tom Hardy).

[vandeleur]

The guy in inglorious basterds was Christoph waltz I think ?

[Dave's Bitch]

I am surprised that 'Lawless' didn't pick up any nominations - there were some fantastic performances in that (particularly Tom Hardy).

Tom Hardy is pretty much good in everything

[Kristy]

Eh, give it to 'Lincoln' and some pussy foreign art films and waste 4 hours in doing so.

Done.

[Anonymous]

Dunno if I've said this here before, but I HATE it when the films I like get an award and/or nomination.

Ruins the fuckin' box art.

I WAS pleased that Bam Bam Bigelow's relative won in that year instead of the alien smurfs.

Bam Bam Bigelow RAWKS!

Cheers! :bottle:

[Grant]

Best Achievement in Sound Mixing

Nominees:
Argo (2012): John T. Reitz, Gregg Rudloff, José Antonio García

I like to see these guys win for Sound - only because I had the luxurious pleasure of listening to half of 'Dance The Night Away' in a movie cinema...

[Terry]

Although Daniel Day Lewis is probably going to get it for Lincoln, I loved Denzel Washington in Flight.

Washington WAS great in Flight. Just his presence alone was enough to carry the movie even when the direction and script became a bit predictable about halfway in for a good, long stretch of the film.

[High Life Man]

Tom Hardy is pretty much good in everything

Watch "Bronson". Great movie.
