Jennifer Lawrence is wonderful but she was woefully too young for that role. Couldn't carry the movie. De Niro was fabulous.

*************

I don't agree. She more than held her own against DeNiro when she gives him a verbal smackdown.

*****************************************

Hah! She was fierce in that scene. I think she was great in the film, I just felt like an older woman would have fit the themes and vibe better. Sometimes in some of the interactions with Cooper's character I winced because she sounded so jaded and seen-it-all. I'm thinking, homeslice you're about 23!!

wow the academy really doesn't like Leo.
-------------------
He's been nominated 3 times already.

************************************************

That's true. I thought it was fewer times actually. That said, he still hasn't won! :)

SANS FARDS - even though I was glad The Hurt Locker won and I really liked Avatar, I loved loved loved Inglourious Basterds!

stefystef - were your cousins part of the SEAL raid that turned Osama bin Laden into fish shit? Were they in the same room with the CIA as that agency planned how to make him compost for seaweed? No. Yes, the blowhard who made available to Bigelow top secret information is going around saying the film is not accurate blah blah blah, but the (selective) info he chose to reveal should never have been released in the first place because of the danger it may bring to the many people involved and was only done so that Barry could appear as a hero who did what Bush couldn't. (I wonder if Blowhard mentioned to Bigelow that the Chicago slumlord known as Valerie Jarret was telling Obama not to go through with the raid? I also wonder if he mentioned that little bit of history where Billy Clinton turned down 2 offers of bin Laden's head on a silver platter because the media sure as hell didn't feel that fact was important enough to report after 9/11, although they did report on his marvelous compassion at the time he exhibited it. You know, before they knew what would come of it. They did, however, constantly and very fiercely report on the fact that GWB didn't do the responsible thing and run out of that kindergarden class screaming but instead stayed with the children until he'd finished the picture book he was reading to them at the time.)

Well anyway, obviously Bigelow had other sources and those sources told her what I learned 2 days after the raid: enhanced interrogation methods way back in 2002 or '03 are what gave the CIA the seed it needed to find bin Laden. The man who was in charge of it all, Jose Rodriguez, just came out with a book describing these methods, methods that consisted of a wet cloth being placed over some ape's face for 10 seconds (where said ape would hold his hand up and tick those seconds off one hairy ape finger at a time), sleep deprivation, and a diet that included a vitamin drink for old people. Hardly torture and guess what? Nancy Pelosi was a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee at the time and gave her whole-hearted support for these techniques. Do you remember when Obozo first came into office and he and Miss Nancy started talking quite loudly about criminally charging Bush for committing torture? Do you ever wonder what happened to those plans? Well I'll tell you - that smug little bitch shut right up when several members of the CIA came forward and said, "Hey, wait a minute..." Lol. I do believe they are still working quietly behind the scenes to get Bush tried for crimes against humanity, though, so don't worry - if we Americans are uncomfortable dealing with our savagery now we may yet have to face up to it when GWB is brought up on charges of forcing simple, humble little sociopaths to drink Ensure. You liberals, lol. Always yourselves and your moral narcissism before country.

As far as Django Unchained goes, I think I'll skip it. Seeing Samuel "I hope Hurricane Isaac drowns everybody in Tampa" Jackson's turd-like head with that ridiculous little toddler's cap perched on top while he and Jaime "What's wrong with Michael Vick's doggie rape rooms? They are important for his savage doggie fights! It's our culture, man. Whitey just don't understand our culture!" Foxx talk about how fun it was to pretend to kill white people kind of depresses me. We had a civil war over slavery (and those slaves were not captured in the African jungles by white men. They were there waiting to be sold by African slave traders. Oh, and slavery is still to this day very healthy on the African continent as well as in the Middle East, along with human rape rooms, I'm sure) and these two have reached what can surely be considered a pinnacle of sorts, yet they act like they are victims. Victims of me, lol.

How are you Kiki? There are many films that people are raving about that were completely ignored. I personally found some of the choices curious. The choices were in part to stop the ratings free fall they have been experiencing. So.. Question.. If you could.. Name your favorite films this year... The Kiki awards... With a well dressed statuette..;)". Any other film buffs ... Please jump in..

I'd say I'm surprised by this but the truth is I heard it in a song while I was sleeping upside down in my daughter's closet.- Dog

I caught some of the Critic's Choice Awards. Daniel Day Lewis won, Jessica Chastain won, Argo won best picture (or was it director?)

They have lots of different categories so all sorts of people won stuff. Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, little Hushpuppy won awards too.

It should be posted online somewhere by now.

I hope Lincoln just sweeps it all! I hope Sally Field beats that witch Anne Hathaway.

There were a lot of snubs. Paul Thomas Anderson was snubbed too. I can't believe he got picked over for the guy who directed Silver Linings Playbook. I saw that film and it's cute, but that's it. I guess there are so many bad rom/coms that when a half-way watchable one comes by, the director gets an Oscar nom for it.

There is no reason for that film to have so many nominations.

Kiki, AngieJo was in talks to be in SLP? Oh hell no! She would have distracted the audience. I think she can do action films because people go to see the stunts and car races and shoot outs. But in a film like this, its all about the characters. There is nothing to distract from the performance. In spite of being really young, Jennifer pulled it off beautifully!
***************
Yup winter owl. I didn't know until skinny fat provided the link. Agreed about J. Law. I can't imagine anyone else in the role. I thought she was too young for the role going in but changed my mind after seeing the movie. I thought RD and Chris Tucker were really excellent in it as well. Overall, I thought the movie was just OK, but the performances, save B. Cooper who was frankly the weakest link, elevated the movie.

I'm not a religious person, but if you're up there, Superman, please let Hathaway lose!

In know I'm in the minority, but I thought 'Argo' was just 'meh'. I loved both 'Gone, Baby, Gone' and 'The Town', but I thought 'Argo' was too bloodless to connect with me.

I didn't care for SLP, but I think Jennifer Lawrence deserves the nom and quite possibly the win. She was great in it. I am glad DOR didn't go with Jolie. Personal disdain for her aside, I think she's actually a self-conscious actor. She wouldn't have been good in the role.

Laughing over the DiCaprio snub, mostly because I dislike him so much. He and Denzel Washington are two peas in a pod: same person in every role. Although I do have to give DiCaprio some credit - he was really good in 'Django', but not as good as Jackson or Waltz.

"On Bigelow's snub, well, I can't say much because although I applaud her as a female director, she kinda went all Leni Riefenstahl with her latest flick. I'm still gonna watch "Zero Dark Thirty" but only because I lurve Jessica Chastain and a good action flick. "

Zorba - I'm confused. Have you seen the movie yet? If not, I think the Leni Riefenstahl comparison is a little harsh, right? If you have, you're entitled to your opinion. I haven't seen ZDT yet, so I can't really speak to it (yet).

All I can think of is who Bradley will bring as a "date" to the ceremony.

If/when Anne H. loses, I pray that there's a live split screen featuring her pained reaction as well as James Franco wickedly smirking in glee.

McConaughey will be the Anne H/Kate Winslet of 2014. Trust. I've never seen a male actor generate so much press for losing weight in order to shamelessly lock down a slot for next year's prize. Did Bale do the same thing for "The Machinist"?

Funny side story:

Angelina wanted the role that Jennifer Lawrence got in "Silver Lining Playbook". She didn't get it.

Angie always walked away from the Sin City pre-sequel.

Remember, you are only as good as your last movie, people.
----------------------------

Ooh good one, interesting! The actress race would be done and dusted by now.

Lawrence was great but Angie would have killed it and they'd fall over themselves to give her another Oscar. Though another mental illness-themed role might not be a good idea.

Surprises - Jacki Weaver (though she deserves another one for that harridan robbing it off her last time) Beasts in director is a bit much, Affleck has directed 3 great films in a row. Christoph Waltz is a last minute addition/semi surprise, if it wasn't him another ex-winner would be in there. Leo was unlikely but he must be better than his embarrassing J Edgar Hoover.

Snubs - Cotillard in Rust and Bone, I knew this would happen, sadly 2 foreign language performances in the same category is unlikely, Wallis was the earliest fave but I didn't think she'd make it.

Ann Dowd - should have replaced Adams, though Kidman was more likely in terms of precursor awards.

Hawkes - this is the biggest snub, just a huge surprise as he was the third lock with DDL (he's gonna out Meryl Meryl?! lol @ her presenting him) and maybe Phoenix.

The poster who made the comment about the traditional African American slot, Washington was locked in from the start like Wallis and he's the ultimate exception to that label anyway but it does seem the case for most years and there was a big uproar like a couple of years back when there was no black acting nominees, so make of that what you will.

Why is Hathaway losing her shit over this, OK so an Oscar is an Oscar, but this is only a supporting Oscar/aka consolation prize to veterans/character actors. Bitch would be getting a lead acting Oscar in the next couple of years either way so what's the big deal.

Feel sorry for perpetual also ran Adams saddled with 4 supporting noms in a row. The Master is a 2 man show and she barely figures though, some thought she wouldn't make it.

As an Oscar geek I love this shit and it's true that this is a weak/wide open year - look at the lack of big names. I loved how they shook up the dry announcement ceremony with the humour (unnecessary Nazi joke aside) and shuffling the names out of alphabetical order - teasing the last 2 slots in actress till last. I was thinking last night Wallis and Riva would make it for their "oldest/youngest ever nominees" PR. I'm just glad the Frenchie granny made it.

This shit isn't based on talent, well, not anymore. It's all politics; anne will probably win.

Glad to see Christoph Waltz was nominated. Sad to see Jamie Foxx and Sam Jackson were not.

After reading Dlisted, it is just straight impossible to call these celebrities by their actual names anymore. Was just discussing these bullshit nominations with a coworker and I blurted out "And Leo DiCatchAHo was shut down again!" She was just like ... what did you call him?

:)

Django Unchained was one fucking damn good movie. DiCatchaHo was amazingly evil in it. 100% pure psycho. Nice to see Christopher Waltz got nominated though.

Sammy Jackson will always be snubbed... he scared the SHIT out of Hollywood. He is NOT a non-threatening negro. *LOL*

He's an in-your-face kinda bitch. Still gotta see Django...

I'm not surprised the Hobbit got snubbed. LOTR 1 and 2 were shut out of best picture (they lost to A Beautiful Mind, and Chicago, the year after). ROTK got Best Picture but I feel like it was because everyone was like FINALLY, come on. A Beautiful Mind was pretty good, and I thought Chicago was too, but LOTR was really a remarkable achievement in film-making. So I'm not surprised that the Academy wouldn't give the Hobbit any love :(

@SANS FARDS, you are right. The new Hobbit trilogy probably won't be acknowledged until the 3rd one.

Leo Deserve that Nom.

As for Leo, he's just as desperate to get that Oscar as Pitt. And IMO, he should just quit running after it.
Plenty of great actors in the past and the present who don't have an Oscar but are still much better than the Oscar winners I'm seeing lately.
What's the big deal anyway?

And IMHO no, they don't like success so much as they like people making movies specifically to beg their attention. They love movies like Lez Miz, Lincoln and the sort because they are made SPECIFICALLY to get Oscars. It's an ego boost for them.

Totes agree. But sadly since Jackson ALSO played a role in a super-popular non-arthouse blockbuster and is AA, the snobs won't even consider him.
-------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry I don't really know what you mean, is he an alcoholic? And I don't think being in a super-popular movie gets people banned, the industry is desperate for people who can make money and it usually rewards them. Why else is somebody like Emma Stone (who I do like) getting Golden Globe nominations for sitcom level performances. Or Hathaway who made a fuck ton for Disney and was in Batman

Help me!

I have not seen a singly one of these movies! I don't know how to feel about that.

As an introvert, HSP, and very tall person, I don't find the movie theater experience very pleasant. I prefer to watch movies from my couch, with a blanket and kitties and wine.

I'm only interested in seeing Les Miz and Lincoln, but I'll wait for them to come out on Netflix.

Are there any other that youse guys think are MUST-SEE'S?

I just want anybody besides Daniel Day Lewis to win best actor and anybody besides Anne Hathaway to win best supporting actress.

Lincoln was a boring as shitty movie, I know we all wanted the product of Tony Kurshner, Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day Lewis to be great but it was just a dull, overly long movie and James Spader was somehow the only interesting character.

And Anne Hathaway can suck a bag of dicks, if I never saw her again I'd be happy.

Pleeeease, give the Oscar to Sally Field. I love this old broad. I want her to get up on stage and say "You like me! You really like me more than Anne Hathaway!" YASSSS. Academy, make it happen...

On Bigelow's snub, well, I can't say much because although I applaud her as a female director, she kinda went all Leni Riefenstahl with her latest flick. I'm still gonna watch "Zero Dark Thirty" but only because I lurve Jessica Chastain and a good action flick. But I know I'll be watching some amoral, government-sponsored piece of military propaganda.

Yes I am glad Quvenzhané Wallis was nominated as I thought she had been forgotten about already for awards season.

I think Sally Field should have been Best Actress, not Supporting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think for her to be considered as BA and not BSA her role would have to be larger than it was in Lincoln. She didn't have the screen time nor story focus. The Oscar web site says this "The determination as to whether a role is a leading or supporting role shall be made individually by members of the branch at the time of balloting."

I've had my fill of Seth McFarlane. He's a talented guy but his humor gets old quick. Of course I'm biased, I watched Ted the other night. Blehhhhh.

stefystef -- I haven't seen "Lincoln" yet, but I am MADLY in love with David Strathairn. I think he is hot as shit and is an excellent actor. In fact, my bf looks an awful lot like him.

cowjam -- I can't stand DiCRAPio either; I don't know why everyone says he's such a great actor. I see him acting in every movie. When someone is a great actor, you should never see them acting, ya know?

Few Words -- LMAO! I would pay money to see Hathaway's head explode if & when she doesn't win. I'm hoping Sally Field wins this category.

I know this movie is not a fully accurate depiction of what happened during the raid and how things are truly set up. I have cousins who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and they are like, not much is correct in the film.

But here's the thing. Americans don't do documentaries nor truth well. We love propaganda. We hate the minutia of things. We just like a lot of death and destruction and all in OUR favor. Those I know who have seen the movie enjoyed it thoroughly and didn't have one bit of problem with the torture (which says alot about the mentality of this country these days). I think most Americans are still uncomfortable dealing with the issues that our vets are facing coming home.

I would like to see a full disclosure program about the war and the process that lead to finding Bin Laden and others on TV. That would make a good PBS Frontline show, 'cause I don't see myself paying money to sit in a theatre to watch something that long...
