The last paragraph about ZDT was especially awkward.

it's as if the writer were cracking his knuckles until the moment he could cite the film receiving the most abuse in recent years.
the most torture even

guess whooo? Hope you're right about Cotillard, but I prefer to expect the worst.

the Nick Pinkteron line about biopics is so good that I wish it were true.

I could barely muster up the effort for the nominations articles. It's only really fun Oscar blogging imo when you have a preset slate you can rip into.
― Eric H., Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:27 (nine years ago) link
well, you used "distaff" in a sentence, so that counts.
You went for Cotillard and Jake too.

I told Ed he totally subtweeted me with his choice of pics (e.g. each seems like the most likely to not get nominated).

I was about to write Steve Carell's nose even before checking to see if there was a shortlist and ... I'll be damned, it's actually in the running.

Also, it feels like Budapest is headed toward double-digit nominations, so.

you think? that would shock me.
― touch of a love-starved cobra (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:42 (nine years ago) link
I guess the probability that it's getting scratched in acting categories stands in the way of that.
― Eric H., Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:46 (nine years ago) link
If Cotillard, Spall, and Fiennes all made it, I would delight in Jeffrey Wells' head exploding.
It's not well known that the Carell nose is the same one Woody & Diane stole in Sleeper.

Gone Girl took nothing at the GGs and i bet the same happens at the Oscars. what is it with Fincher? Se7en, Social Network and Fight Club were all stiffed too and Zodiac didn't even get ONE nomination!
actually GG will at least maybe win best adapted screenplay i guess. but still..
― piscesx, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 21:34 (nine years ago) link
it's still in the running for best pic and i figured it had a good chance after leaving the theater but there's been so much bait released EOY it'll get pushed out. the imitation theory game just got plopped right in there.
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 22:24 (nine years ago) link
XP Zodiac's original release was bumped from awards season due to some studio be, and after that I don't think any lobbying bucks were thrown its way.

Cotillard is in.

only one nod for Gone Girl. Who's going to watch this broadcast w/out the audience pleasers?

re Gone Girl, how can a film that made THAT much money with such a relatively small budget, was so critically respected and liked by the public get such short shrift? i know subjects like that never do well with 'The Academy' but still. good to see Ros Pike get a nod mind.
