[McTeague]

Austin are my favorite 5th-tier critics group.

[with_one_voice]

Waltz is doing well at these random critics groups awards.

[Eternal]

Austin are my favorite 5th-tier critics group.

now mine too.

[Meegadeth]

Waltz officially has won more awards than Leo, right?

[Thomas]

I feel so invested in these.
When are the Boise Critics Association Awards (the BCAAs)?

It seems they haven't seen Lincoln? or....

Or they just found it to be manipulative shit.

[crazyfists3600]

I love how The Master is at #8 but PTA win Best Director. I'm not even being critical, since I've come close to doing that a few times (2011 I give Refn the directing win but it is #5 for me, same with Tarantino in 09)

[Rage Colored Glasses]

I've done similar things in my personal awards. I give Fincher the win in 2010 even though Social Network is something like my no.5 film of that year.

[McTeague]

That is all very

[crazyfists3600]

To me there are so many varying factors to a film's greatness, direction is just one of them. I mean, Beginners is my clear winner in 2011 and yet Mills isn't on my directing ballot...but the film has wins in Screenplay and Editing and is nominated for Cinematography and gets three acting nominations so...there's that.

Anyways, derailed compeltely, but I just liked the boldness Austin had to come out with it here.

They have rebuild their meth lab, which was also their film critics conference room.

[Kargo]

This is Looper's fifth win for best original screenplay (NBR,Washington,Las Vegas,Florida,Austin) plus nominations from Chicago and BFCA.

It's almost certain to get a WGA nod so it's positioned itself very,very well for a nomination.The last three sci-fi films that had this kind of support for their screenplays went on to receive the nomination.(Children Of Men,District 9,Inception).

[crazyfists3600]

It would be so bizarre if it happened.

[erikdean]

If it helps break the JGL curse, I'm all for it.

[McTeague]

If it helps break the JGL curse, I'm all for it.

Inception broke it.

[Capt. January]

They have rebuild their meth lab, which was also their film critics conference room.

No wonder I haven't heard from them so far.

About their awards.

[jjj]

It's all to set up JGL as an Oscar triple threat in the next few years to come - actor, writer, director. The next Ben Affleck.

[Rage Colored Glasses]

Don Jon's Addiction Oscar sweep 2013?

Or they just found it to be manipulative shit.

Everyone thinks like you?
