dc20willsave Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 The nominees are in. Here's the full list. Lots of surprises. Beasts of the Southern Wild got a lot of love. Supporting actor seems a little boring, was really pulling for some love for Javier Bardem or Matthew McConaughey there. Oh, and Jacki Weaver getting a nod for Silver Lingings is awesome. Her role is so underappreciated in the film. She's not winning but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 That's actually a pretty nice list there. Glad to see Argo getting some good nominations, and Anna Karenina got the nominations where it mattered for them (cinematography, production design, costumes). This should be an interesting year.

dc20willsave Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Seth McFarland was one of the people doing the announcements and was pretty funny. I have high hopes for him as the host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Another director snub for Tarantino and the obligatory writing consolation for him. It doesn't look good for the best picture category for DU, though I think it probably deserves it. Huzzah for Paranorman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I dunno, Django was good, but I don't think it's as good as some of his other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 There's where we disagree. I wanted to do a list of Tarantinmo films in my Django review but we ran pretty long. Here goes: 1. Jackie Brown - I need to rewatch this to be fair. 2. Reservoir Dogs - Young raw energy beats out wisdom and developed craft so far. 3. Django Unchained 4. Inglourious Basterds 5. Kill Bill vol. 1 6. Pulp Fiction 7. Kill Bill vol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 If not for Jackie Brown, I would say DU is EASILY his best directed film. Jackie Brown was criminally snubbed. It was the best film of that year by far. One nomination, my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 My QT continuum falls out something like this: Reservoir Dogs Jackie Brown Inglourious Basterds Django Unchained Kill Bill vol 2 Kill Bill vol 1 Pulp Fiction And I wasn't aware of Jackie Brown, mainly because I was nine when it originally came out, but odds are it got pretty badly snubbed, yeah.

Missy Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I can't speak of As Good as It Gets or LA Confidential, but having seen the other Best Picture nominations of that year, yes, Jackie Brown was robbed mightily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Jackie Brown aka one of the two Tarantino films I actually like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I can't speak of As Good as It Gets or LA Confidential, but having seen the other Best Picture nominations of that year, yes, Jackie Brown was robbed mightily. As Good as it Gets is good for what it is, but a best picture it is not. LA Confidential is the only one I see belonging on that list, personally. But it doesn't hold a candle to JB.

dc20willsave Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 For me: Jackie Brown (which, yeah, criminal that Pam Grier didn't even get nominated) Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair Django Unchained Inglourious Bastards Pulp Fiction Reservoir Dogs Deathproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Basterds Dogs JB Pulp Fiction Kill Bill ... ... ... Deathproof. Haven't seen Django yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Will, I have to say, The Whole Bloody Affair isn't even a movie yet, if ever. Are you counting KB 1&2 as one long film? As far as I know, The Whole Bloody Affair is supposed to be a re-edit of the two movies together leaving out a lot of the fat. They would be two very different things. I didn't even remember to include Death Proof in my list, which betrays how lowly I think of it, but also that it doesn't piss me off like Pulp Fiction does.

JasonC Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Death Proof is the only Tarantino film that I find absolutely, appallingly, utterly, totally and completely boring. Even Vanessa Ferlito's lap dance couldn't save it. I actually hit the fast forward button on the remote a few times, something I have never done for any Tarantino film before or since.

JackFetch Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I just finished Django. It has flaws as any QT movie does, but it is filled with some of the best acting I've ever seen. Almost everyone in it pulls the best performance of their career, except Samuel L. Jackson. He's just playing the same character he always does but in old makeup. I will never doubt Jamie Foxx in anything again. Christoph Waltz is amazing. DiCaprio continues to show he's the best actor of my generation. Walton Goggins was great as usual. I didn't even mind Jonah Hill in his cameo. I wish the script had a little more to it. There wasn't as much dialog as you would expect from a QT movie, and what there was came from people other than the protagonist. I get the feeling it's going to get snubbed at the Oscars though.

dc20willsave Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Argo won at the Producer's Guild. The PGA is a very heavy indicator of who's going to win best picture. This isn't as straight forward a race as it seemed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 And Argo won Best Ensemble at the Screen Actor's Guild. My friends, we're watching the beginning of a likely upset. It's also worth noting that only three films have won best picture without a Best Director nomination (Which Argo didn't get): Wings, Grand Hotel, Driving Miss Daisy.

Professor Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Granted I saw three movies in the theatres this year, but I did not walk out of Argo thinking that it was a Best Picture. Seems odd that it is getting this kinda love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Argo is a movie about Hollywood. It only serves that the spoiled narcissists in The Academy should love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I was more referring to Argo consistently taking the best picture award, and Tarantino consistently winning for best original screenplay, but that works too. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
