I think it's safe to say around these parts IMDB is not renowned for there accuracy. I copied the nominee list off an article in a newspaper. |

| | Posted: | | | | I haven't seen any of the movies, but have seen a number of their trailers and interviews of the cast members.
I don't go to the movie theaters any more, people not very polite.
I guy was shot the other day, I think he was tweeter or twittering, what ever.
Popcorn was thrown and then a bullet. A bullet beats pop corn every time.
I have Captain Phillips on order and will buy 3d Gravity, I'm a sucker for space program films as I spent about four years working on NASA computers and use to have fly back Merritt Is. for some of the Apollo shots.
And will probably buy American Hustle, The Wolf of Wall Street, and couple more when I get around to checking them out.
Rotten Tomatoes ratings followed by Audience rattings
American Hustle 93-80
Captain Phillips 93-92
Dallas Buyers Club 93-93
Gravity 97-85
Her 93-87
Nebraska 91-88
Philomena 92-91
12 Years a Slave 97-93
The Wolf of Wall Street 75-81 | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | I'm still working on my picks. I'll post them once I lock them down.
One category that has me a little conflicted is for Best Animated Feature. My first instinct is to choose the excellent Frozen. However, the Academy has a tendency to award a career achievement with a final film. Given that The Wind Rises is the final film from acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki before he retired, I think that film has the potential to upset Frozen. I may have to wait until The Wind Rises is released here in the States on Feb 21 to finalize this category | | | | My phpDVDprofiler collection |

| | Posted: | | | | Last night I viewed Captain Phillips on Blu_Ray UPC 043396417816, Commentary with Director Paul Greengrass and all special features (about 60 min.) Capturing Captain Phillips: Embarkation, Full Head & Stand Fast and it was enjoyed very much.
Tom Hanks did his usual Oscar® performance as a captain. As did Barkhad Abdi) who play Muse the Somali pirate captain. He went toe to toe with Hanks.
They found the four Somalis who played the pirates in Minnesota. It seems there is the largest group of
Somalis in the US. The director said they have talented group musicians, dancers, etc there.
The shot on the sister ship of Marsk Alabama with very little graphic effects making it very realistic.
The pacing and camera work kept my interest without a single break for refreshments I usually pause for while watching a movie in my living room. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | For a number of years, I participated in a DVD forum's Oscar pick contest. By using my best judgment with averaging out many film critics' choices, I would fall short by about two picks from each year's winner. One year, I looked over all the previous choices made by every critic I was averaging in, and I realized that had I simply repeated Entertainment Weekly's picks I would have won by three or four picks every year. The next year, that's what I did: my picks were what I read in EW. I won. I did it two more years, winning by four to five picks each year. I retired from the game as the only three time winner (no one else had won twice).
So my picks are whatever selections EW makes this year. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

| | Posted: | | | | 12 Years A Slave is the best film out of the bunch. But it's very much an art house piece and a foreign one at that. Simply put the Oscars is a publicity stunt by the elite of Hollywood. They always want something with more mainstream appeal when it comes to picking best picture.
I'm going with Gravity despite the fact i think that leaves a lot to be desired. Like i find 2001 is all visual and no substance behind it. I get it that a lot of people do like the pure cinematography approach. I respect that, but i find a film needs more to make it an enjoyable experience for me.
I could possibly be wrong as i say 50/50 with American Hustle. But i'm going with Gravity as i think they might want to pick something that's less drama orientated this year. |

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
