Re: So...how bout dem Oscars?
I think Scarface is Scarface for douchebags, right? The Blue Jasmine one is very accurate though. Every time Woody Allen makes a movie, the Academy flips a coin.

6 Fast 6 Furious was ignored. The Oscars are a sham.

Frankly, ever since Dredd was snubbed in all categories, I don't take the Oscar's seriously anymore.
Re: So...how bout dem Oscars?
I'm looking for the American Hustle script. Can't find it anywhere. Usually, all the scripts up for Oscar consideration in a given year are put out for download during Oscar season. I've found pretty much almost all of them, I really want to read the American Hustle script though...

It's just scene headings.
Re: So...how bout dem Oscars?
I have horses in this race (much like the Super Bowl) and I still could not care less about the Oscars.
Somewhere, there is a Game of Thrones quote that is applicable to my feelings...
God loves you!

Re: So...how bout dem Oscars?
I saw someone on Twitter bring up an interesting point re: "The Oscars are important because _________" question.
In a world without the Oscars or any other high-profile movie awards shows, Her doesn't get made. Neither does Inside Llewyn Davis. At least, not with the backing of major studios. If the Oscars didn't exist, there would be no incentive for studios to make those films when they could just make blockbusters that are guaranteed to have widespread appeal.

Well, considering where we are at now, we're almost at the point where Her or Lewelyn Davis don't get made period, oscars or no oscars.
It's basically Megan Ellison at Annapurna Pictures almost single-handedly keeping American cinema alive at this point. Pretty much no-one else in Hollywood is funding original movies anymore.

I want him to get it because I think the film looks great and he deserves it for the job he did on it, first and foremost.

I haven't seen the other films in the category apart from Gravity so I can't judge the competition so I'll still give it to Deakins.

Re: So...how bout dem Oscars?
There's a long list of prestigious names who have never won an Oscar. They're the too-cool-for-school crowd. Given the long-forgotten crap that has won over the years, perhaps losing is the new winning.
Would you rather hang out with Gwyneth or Fincher?

Umm... that's a no brainer, Gwyneth of course!

Clearly Chris Nolan in that case. He's way more talented than Fincher

Re: So...how bout dem Oscars?
Good acting to appear excited after winning a gong every other frigg'n night for a month. So far we've had the Golden Globes awards, Critics Choice awards, Screen Actors Guild awards, Producers Guild Awards, and the 'Lets Give Ourselves Even More Awards' awards, and that's only the start of the season. It's raining gongs.
