Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 So anyway....I think Interstellar should win for cinematography, score, production design, and visual effects. In the "would be nice but unlikely/undeserved" category, I'd put editing, sound mixing/editing, and screenplay. I don't think it'll win best picture, obviously, but I'm not sure I feel like anything else really deserves it more. Nolan really deserves his own statue, and if they're going to give it to him, this is the best time for it. Think that's the one I'm most pulling for, unlikely as it might be.

KK 3,307 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Not really sure who's going to win Best Picture this year, no obvious candidate is popping up yet. But I'm 90% sure that Birdman and Inherent Vice are better films and better candidates for the statuette than Interstellar.I know I haven't seen it yet, but I think Birdman will win for cinematography, and probably a stronger candidate for screenplay too. I think Interstellar has a strong chance for visual effects, sound mixing/editing, and maybe production design or best original score, though I wouldn't put my bets on that.It was one of the most painful online experiences I had to go through!

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Inherent Vice was very good but I don't think it's the best of the year. It's more of a culty thing. Same with Birdman though it's a bit more of a player I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I predict Interstellar will win....nothing.It's not as raved about as Gravity and they don't give awards to space movies often , it didn't make that much money, numerous problems reported about the sound mix could mean not even an award in sound.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I love the part where KM makes sweeping claims based on an exaggeration of review quality, the assumption that $500m is "not a lot of money", ignoring what I said about Academy members eating up the "innovativeness" of the sound mix, and his own feelings about the score.

RedBard 71 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Okay, so who's in the running for Best Original Score?I'm putting my money on either Johannsson's The Theory of Everything, Desplat's The Imitation Game, and Reznor & Ross's Gone Girl.

KK 3,307 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Powell's score doesn't stand a chance of getting nominated.The list will probably look something like this:The Theory of Everything by Johann JohannssonThe Imitation Game by Alexandre DesplatInterstellar by Hans ZimmerBirdman by Antonio Sanchez**Gone Girl by Reznor + RossThe last one is real iffy, not sure if the Academy will give them a third nomination. So you can substitute that by any other surprise scores if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Boyhood was gimmicky poo.

HTTYD 2 not being nominated or Gone Girl being nominated and winning. Both, probably. Gone Girl won't win. Might get nominated though. HTTYD 2 won't be however.You never quite know with the music voters, but yeah, they don't often go for sequel scores. Usually it has to be a noticeable sonic departure to get nominated, like Skyfall and Prisoner of Azkaban in recent years. I could see Powell sneaking in, but Dragon 2's score is more along the same lines as the first so I wouldn't necessarily bet on it.As far as other plausible alternatives go...Imitation Game seems like the Desplat score they'd probably go for, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him get in for Unbroken either or even The Grand Budapest Hotel. He might end up with two nominations. Elsewhere, Danny Elfman has Big Eyes this year. Selma might have a chance depending on how it's scored and if it's in the running for Best Picture. Talking of unlikely sequel scores, I guess Giacchino could surprise with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Also interestingly, Iglesias seems to get nominated whenever he does an English-language movie so they could always go for Exodus even if the movie doesn't go over so well. And they nominate Thomas Newman pretty much as a rule so I wouldn't count out The Judge either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
