- I obviously missed something when I watched American Hustle. It was good but nowhere near deserving of all this praise.
- The fact that it's up for Best Editing is a joke, the pacing was all off and left it feeling very sluggish.
- While J-Law was entertaining in it, if she wins this award I'm going to smack someone. Yeah, she's talented but I'm getting tired of the boner everyone is carrying for her.
- Even though I haven't seen it, I'm shocked by the lack of attention Inside Llewyn Davis is getting.
- Just as neglected is Before Midnight, which kills me inside.
- Lana Del Rey not getting a nomination for Original Song is a travesty.
- Sally Hawkins up for Supporting Actress is awesome, and very well deserved.
- Bradley Cooper over Jeremy Renner for supporting actor just pisses me off.
- I love that Jonah Hill got himself a nomination, and I love how pissed off people are getting even more.
-LEO!!!!
I'll be putting up an Oscars page soon which I'll update with my predictions for the winners as I see more of the films. Last year I did pretty well so hopefully I do again.
Let me know what you think of the nominations, if you share my opinions or disagree.

THANK-YOU. I thought American Hustle was a good film (about a 7/10), but it just didn't compare to so many other great movies of 2013. Jennifer Lawrence's nomination is a joke, let alone if she won... I predict she will win too. I'm so pleased for Jennifer Hawkins and Jonah Hill. Screw the haters of Hill, he's a damn good actor and was extremely good in Wolf of Wall Street. I do agree that the exclusion of Lana Del Rey is a complete travesty... by far the best song of the year.
ReplyDeleteExactly! I was expecting a masterpiece, but it really wasn't. It was just good, which isn't good enough compared to other releases from the year. I did enjoy Lawrence in the film but there was nothing Oscar worthy about it and I'm hoping that it's just a courtesy nomination because she's won before.
DeleteI'm happy to see Hill in their because it shows the Academy are capable of being unpredictable. I haven't seen Wolf of Wall Street yet but he looks great in it.
