bu. Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I could not find the official thread (I'm sure hotboy or bailey made one) for awards so I thought I would make one. What prompted me to start early? Well I just read an article about how Cate Blanchett is being tipped for an early frontrunner for best actress following "rave reviews" over her role in Woody Allens Blue Jasmine. Who do you expect to lead the forefront this season? Is Meryl Streep around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrylf Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'd be surprised if the All Mighty O that is Oprah gets nothing for The Butler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 I started watching The Butler but then stopped because it was a lame copy. Is it good? I see the typicals have movies coming out; Martin Scorcese, Hanks, Clooney and Ms Streep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 The Butler was WONDERFUL, seen it twice & looking for a reason to watch it a 3rd time, she & Whitaker SLAYED, and I bought their chemistry and them as a couple & parents. So I think it'd be CRAZY if neither of them got any recognition through awards or nominations, especially after how great it did box office wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Why thank you Bu for the mention, no I have not started any award threads, that being said I was surprised there was no Emmy thread made either last week. I was listening to NPR and they were discussing this fall's TV season and how basically no one cares about network TV anymore, with some exceptions like the Big Bang Theory. Where TV is now is on cable shows, and there are a few new shows coming that folks may enjoy. I'm picky so I don't know what I will watch. As for movies we haven't quite hit that sweet spot of the year where they run out all the award worthy films, Im hoping this year's crop is good, the last few years have been hit and miss for me.

I believe Kevin Spacey will win a GG I saw it too - it was a great copy. Seemed better than the cinema one . I hope they get something from the Oscars. That film is too good to be overlooked. Not seen 12 Years Of A Slave yet but that seems to be getting the glory Butler deserves. It's like GG are saying there's only room for one "black" movie. At least they got nommed in the Screen Actors Guild awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 some Black people I know are very upset at the movies depicting Blacks as nothing but ex slaves, and some say they refuse to see those movies I can understand their frustration. But Whoopi, Cuba and Halle didn't depict slaves and won? These kinds of movies are important imo because it's a good way of educating people that may not necessarily know the ins and outs of slavery, racism or the struggle. I myself cried tears of happiness at the end of The Butler because it was only then...when you see the whole struggle depicted in this movie that I realized what a great moment in history Barack Obama winning is/was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotboy06 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Best picture 12 Years a Slave American Hustle Captain Phillips Dallas Buyers Club Gravity Her Nebraska Philomena The Wolf of Wall Street This race is between AH and 12 Years. With AH leading all nominees, I'm expecting it to take it. But I hope 12 Years win. Will Win: American Hustle Should Win: 12 Years A Slave Dark Horse: Gravity Best director Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity Steve McQueen, 12 Years a Slave Alexander Payne, Nebraska David O Russell, American Hustle Martin Scorsese, The Wolf of Wall Street A very tight race. I'm thinking Alfonso is going to take this one. Will Win: Alfonso Cuaron Should Win: Steve McQueen Dark Horse: David O'Russell Best actor Christian Bale, American Hustle Bruce Dern, Nebraska Leonardo DiCaprio, The Wolf of Wall Street Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club Another tight race. This could be anyone's Oscar. I'm betting on Chiwetel Ejiofor, but Matthew McConaughey could come and snatch. Will Win: Matthew McConaughey Should Win: Chiwetel Ejiofor Dark Horse: Bruce Dern Best actress Amy Adams, American Hustle Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine Sandra Bullock, Gravity Judi Dench, Philomena Meryl Streep, August: Osage County Meryl gets her another Oscar nomination which takes her to number 18 and in the process snubbed Emma Thompson. Actually Amy Adams took Emma Thompson's place. Oh..and Cate Blanchett will win this one. Will win: Cate Blanchett Should win: Cate Blanchett Dark Horse: Judi Dench ^Oh, and I rewatched Notes on A Scandal over the weekend and those two were absolutely superb. Best supporting actor Barkhad Abdi, Captain Phillips Bradley Cooper, American Hustle Michael Fassbender, 12 Years a Slave Jonah Hill, The Wolf of Wall Street Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club Congrats Barkhad! But the Oscar will go to Jared Leto. Will Win: Jared Leto Should Win: Jared Leto Dark Horse: Barkhad Abdi Best supporting actress Sally Hawkins, Blue Jasmine Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years a Slave Julia Roberts, August: Osage County June Squibb, Nebraska This should be a no brainer, but in Hollywood, everything isn't what it seems. Lupita should walk away with the Oscar, but J. Law is gaining momentum and could the youngest actor ever to win back to back Oscars. Will Win: Lupita Nyong'o Should Win: Lupita Nyong'o Dark Horse: June Squibb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Gravity was great, but not good enough for Oscar noms. Not in my opinion. The Butler should have been nominated in its place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetDAYZ Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The Butler is slightly overrated. I see why it didn't get a nom. It was good but not Oscar worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
