Anyways, I hope Mad Max or The Martian wins, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Academy sides with Spotlight or The Revenant ( ).  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2016 05:05 PM                        I already saw one griping article online about "Academy picks an all-white slate for Best Actor...again." Those things really bug me -- considering the nominees are VOTED on, I don't think it would be right for the governing body to say "Remember now, you should vote for at least one non-white person because we want to get some non-whites in there." Maybe there weren't any non-white actors who got enough attention from the academy members this year to get enough votes for a nomination! I seriously doubt there's any conspiracy to keep the black/brown/yellow/red/whatever guys out. [Sarcasm] I suppose the best thing would be to have different Oscar races for each ethnicity, then there wouldn't be these kinds of complaints.

Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2016 05:07 PM                     Interesting cinematography nominations, ranging from Carol, beautifully shot on Super 16mm, to The Hateful Eight in Ultra Panavision, and then a mix of digital Arri Alexa in between, including The Revenent which was shot on the Alexa 65 in available light only. 35mm taking it on the chin this year.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-14-2016 06:27 PM                     I haven't seen all of the movies on the list this year but of the ones I have seen, I don't think any of them are "Best Picture" worthy. One had pretty photography but the rest I didn't care for. I actually hope the Hateful Eight gets the best original score.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 01-14-2016 07:32 PM                        Best Score was actually Mad Max: Fury Road  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

HATEFUL EIGHT was better. - Claude  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-14-2016 09:51 PM                        The only Best Picture nominee I've seen is Spotlight. It was a competently scripted, acted and directed journalism thriller (though nowhere even close to as good as All the President's Men, to which it was repeatedly compared in the marketing hype), but Best Picture material? That's the sort of film that the average person will have heard of in 50 years' time. I'm not sure that this one, or any others, for that matter, will check that box. Glad to see that Sicario got a cinematography nomination. It was one of the more underrated shows of last year, IMHO.  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 01-14-2016 11:37 PM                    quote: Geoff Jones Best Score was actually Mad Max: Fury Road I think Mad Max had the best instrumentals, and Junkie XL did an amazing job getting that "intense" feeling on the drums. But I found Hateful Eight's to be more memorable, maybe it's because of the overture and the opening credits that stood out, but there's no doubt that Ennio Morricone is legendary, so I think he deserves a recognition for his work.  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 01-20-2016 02:42 PM                     Matt Damon for The Martian? Very very solid performance that was effective. But best actor for that? The guy who played Easy E in Straight Outta Compton should have gotten some consideration, in my view. maybe if it were about cellists in europe, the movie would have gotten a couple more nods. I just find it ridiculous that Samuel L Jackson has never gotten an oscar. I was hoping he would get something for Hateful Eight though quite frankly, he has done better. I thought he was even better in Django. He was about the only great part of the disappointing Jungle Fever. And is Jennifer Lawrence going to get nominated for every damn thing now? I would have liked to have seen Nicholas Hoult get a supporting nod for Fury Road just for the hell of it.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 01-21-2016 05:48 AM                     Mark, We're screening 'Carol' today. It looks very good. Haven't seen anything shot on Super 16 for quite some time. Anything shot on 2, 3 or 8 perf 35 mm recently?  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-21-2016 07:48 AM                     quote: Stephen Furley Anything shot on 2, 3 or 8 perf 35 mm recently? Boy, I don't know. Nothing that got nominated! While The Revenant is probably a mortal lock for the cinematography Oscar (unless the Academy is reluctant to give Emmanuel Lubezki the award for the third year in a row) I very much appreciated the look of Carol, photographed by Ed Lachman. The lower resolution and more pronounced grain of Super 16 really fit the story and time period well. I had a fantasy while watching it about the studio making BLS resurrect a bunch of Eastman 25s and sending them to theatres.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-04-2016 02:01 PM                        Interesting following all the "#OscarsSoWhite" coverage. And all these years we've been hearing that nobody gives a shit about the Oscars anymore....guess that's not true.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 02-04-2016 07:06 PM                        My comment about the "#OscarsSoWhite" controversy is it shows ignorance about how the nominations are selected, and conveys an air of entitlement. This is especially true when you look for standout performances by minorities in 2015. There is a case to be made for Michael B Jordan in Creed or Will Smith in Concussion, but there weren't many others. Rather than going off about the Oscar nominations, they should focus their attention on the makeup of the Academy, as well as the lack of high quality roles for minorities in Hollywood.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-04-2016 08:42 PM                        I do agree that it's kind of dumb to allow people who haven't been active in the business since the '70s to vote on the Oscars when they may not even see the movies. Maybe the voters should be split into "active" and "inactive" members, with more weight given to the "actives." However, there is absolutely NO proof that there was any big conspiracy not to nominate black actors or filmmakers. I resent that this is being implied. They asked the voters what their favorites were, and they got their answers. Do they really think all their membership is that racist? I'm a 50+ white guy, but given the chance, I would never vote for some person or some movie JUST because they were white or black or whatever. I'd look for good performaces. It's entirely possible that none of the black performances this year impressed enough of the voters to make the nominations. What a concept!  |  IP: Logged
