A supporting nod could go to William H. Macy, as his parish priest.
This ... is almost boring enough to actually happen.

Yes. He's fat.
Kind of feel like Life of Pi has the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close slot sewn up.

Figured The Impossible would get in there a la Hereafter.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Thursday, 29 November 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago)
guessing life of pi will win that one (haven't seen it but the teaser was impressive)
― abanana, Thursday, 29 November 2012 21:06 (twelve years ago)
In my opinion the best visual effects are those that you don't notice, and Life of Pi had several effects that looked pretty bad to me. Would go with Prometheus or Skyfall or TDKR or Avengers over it.

Yeah, I've got my fingers crossed that the computerized system leads to more than a few octogenarian voters begging off voting this year.

I thought you wanted Lincoln to win? despite your sight-unseen love for my least fave Amerikan propaganda vessel.
The oldies can submit paper ballots.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 19:14 (twelve years ago)
Betting today's oldies would probably prefer Argo. It's sort of like that "'70s, '80s and today" radio station tagline.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 19:20 (twelve years ago)
I wonder if the online system was set up to discourage older voters.
― this will surprise many (Nicole), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 19:22 (twelve years ago)
oh, the deadline for requesting paper was in December.
If it gets Moonrise or even The Master into BP ahead of Argo and Les Shiz, OK.

― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 19:25 (twelve years ago)
I don't know if younger voters are necessarily any more discerning.

Forget Moonrise, I'm gunning for an Oogieloves bid.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 19:33 (twelve years ago)
I saw the Oogieloves movie at Target this week! It might have momentum behind it.

Nathaniel's final pics. He sez Maggie Smith, Eddie Redmayne, Helen Hunt, and Kidman are in, McConaughey and Phoenix likely out.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 14:32 (twelve years ago)
Redmayne seems a truly no-guts-no-glory pic, to use the term SS fixates on. Also don't think Django votes are splitting three ways but, rather, two. Could see both Waltz and DiCaprio getting in over DeNero or maybe Arkin.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 14:38 (twelve years ago)
(Hah, I'm now seeing Nat explicitly calls Redmayne his NGNG pick.)
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 14:41 (twelve years ago)
Man, I'd love to see Jennifer Ehle in supporting actress, but I think she's got the longest odds of his on-the-bubble candidates.

(In that category, at least.)

Unless Dowd scores a coup, I'm likely not going to be thrilled with anyone in that category. Swap in the entire female cast of Cosmopolis in my opinion.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 14:54 (twelve years ago)
not zackly sure why The Master fell off so dramatically from its This Year's Tree of Life start.
I lasted 25 minutes w/ Compliance.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 16:35 (twelve years ago)
Probably because it's nowhere near as good as Tree of Life.
