That's how it always seems to be, including Quentin Tarantino: some say he will be shortlisted, others say he most certainly has a chance.
Others, of course, are locks, such as 'Argo,' 'Lincoln,' etc.
Dramas based off of real historical events don't get the win lock every single time: 'Munich,' a Spielberg great, lost out to Haggis' 'Crash' for 2005.
It will be interesting to see if the majority of voters preferred the last few months of Lincoln's life, or a crucial hostage rescue mission in the 70's. I still need to see 'Argo.'
Sam Mendes' very first action movie, VERY FIRST, hit $1 Billion dollars.
I bet he couldn't win any bigger award.. or career boost.
How many hours? I may stay up to check them out, granted it isn't some ridiculous time for me.
Go figure....Skyfall took over the UK this year...not even in the best film category...crazy.
The Brits being overly fair again...if this was the US...it would never have happened.
Lincoln....Les Mis? Acting lovies loving 'serious' films pah.
dont forget Ben Affleck for best actor.........I would put someone esle over him even Craig would be good.....
I thought since this the British award Skyfall would get Best director or Film but robbed and replaced by American made film
I expected more than this. Disappointed.
5 technical nods - wow, big deal.
Serously this film has taken the UK by storm so I'm surprised the British awards didn't give SF that much notice.
I hope Oscar is better than this........I dont care about the technical awards no big deal, means nothing
Right now, I am REALLY pissed. Its just not right. Why do you think, the Oscars will do better. Bafta was the films best bet. Sure 8 nods is not bad, but BP and BA are surely missing.
To me this feels like "We are NOT going to do the obvious by all means"
Why!! The Oscars are great fun :D!
I am talking Baftas.
Yeah, true. People say it's a good indicator for the Oscars. Well, it's not that much. There's a bit too much British bias in it.
Now I know all you members of the ‘SF is the greatest film ever made and we wont tolerate any dissent’ brigade are going to angrily rear up and tell me to leave the thread for being negative but I’ve got news for you: despite making a lot of money and being very competently made SF is not the tour de force of cinema you would have us believe. It is a very slick piece of entertainment and of its genre it’s a very impressive example but just because acting and direction wise it’s light years ahead of DAD and the Rog era doesn’t suddenly make it Bergman.
Best picture, director and actor were always going to be a tall order. Javier and Judi have as good a chance as anybody as does Deakins and it has to be in with a good shout for Best British Film. Plenty of technical nods also which as a reasonable chance of winning. I’ll be happy with one or two wins in technical categories. If Judi, Javier or Roger can bring home one award between them I’ll be over the moon. If SF walks away with more than one win we should be happy (except Best British film. I’m not counting this as a proper award. Just seems like a bit like the Europa league for those not good enough to get a best picture nod).
Dry your tears and stop being so childish and spare a thought for all the fans on Batman forums complaining about TDKR getting a paltry one nomination (even a Nolan blockbuster, the gold standard by which many are measuring SF, doesn’t automatically mean awards you see).
At least this should damp down all the insane Oscar speculation on here. Adele has a good chance because it’s a weak category and maybe Deakins but that will be your lot so prepare yourself for it so we don’t have to put up with this bleating when the Academy similarly overlooks SF in all the main categories in a few weeks time.
