That is an awesome picture

Guess the Governors Ball food wasn't too filling.

Yeah, I'm sure he was worried about that. But, he did at the Golden Globes and at the SAG awards too. He's just not good at acceptance speeches. I guess it's a good problem to have though.

It's called insincere humility.

Thought I would revive this from last year, if anybody is interested in posting their predictions/thoughts. My Best Picture vote goes to After Earth.

^ The Will Smith movie? Never seen it, but I heard good things.

 

"The Host" takes my vote.

[mtangelsfan]

I'm picking whatever movie Eddie Murphy was in last year.

[nate]

I think Ray is joking since After Earth was terrible and wasn't even nominated for best picture.

 

My guess is 12 Years a Slave.  I have seen about half of the nominees and I thought Wolf of Wallstreet was by far the best.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

My Best Picture vote goes to After Earth.

Jaden Smith was brilliant in that movie.

Jaden Smith is always brilliant. The boy's a genius and has earned everything he has in life through hard work.

Jaden is up for the Academy Award, right?

I'm not sure what i appreciate more, his acting, or his rapping.

No.    Got snubbed.

No.    Got snubbed.

 

It’s a downright travesty he hasn't won one yet.

I saw fewer movies last year than in any year previous. I didn't see anything that was nominated. So I hope Mcconohay wins everything

He was awesome in Wolf.

 

All right, pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers in this racket. I myself, I jerk off at least... twice a day.

i think i've only seen american hustle and gravity, and i liked both of them very much.

 

of those two, i hope american hustle wins. it was a fascinating movie and i liked it very much. gravity reminds me a lot of titanic (i liked both of them) and i'm afraid voters might vote for it based on how huge the scenary was plus the special effects, and not so much on the content of the movie.

 I agree about Gravity. I watched it on my PC and, without the theater screen, it was just a so-so movie. Story wasn't that great. Best parts were with Clooney. It deserves some technical awards for sure, but no way should it win Best Picture.

This is one of the few times I had seen all the best picture nominees prior to the announcement of them. All are at least enjoyable movies though I'd say Dallas Buyers Club and American Hustle are my least favorite of the 9 that are nominated.

 

My prediction is that either 12 Years a Slave, Gravity or American Hustle will take it, I'm hoping it's not American Hustle. It's a solid movie but critics are giving far too much praise to what is essentially just a fun, silly con movie.

 

From the 9 that are nominated, I'd say my personal favorite is Her, but I don't expect that to have a chance. My overall favorite movie of the year was Inside Llewyn Davis which was completely snubbed almost entirely this year which was kind of shock to me. Even True Grit was nominated for the Coens a couple years back, which while I enjoyed the movie, I feel falls in the bottom half of their filmography.

Dallas buyers club for best picture along with nods for maconahey and Leto.
