Yeah, according to Twitter and someone else I know, not all voters got Lincoln just now. But still, this campaign seems extraordinarily ineptly run for a major campaign. Probably the most mishandled one in recent memory, IMO. Especially if they lose DGA/PGA/SAG.Originally Posted by CMJ
There is truth in this statement that I cannot deny.fisti, I love youBut you worship El Winslet. Obviously you won't find The Hathaway's milder desperation annoying
One tweet is fitting here:
People complain Spielberg/LINCOLN campaigning for Oscar, but if I made SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and lost to SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE I'd campaign too.
Spielberg vs. the Industry. Who Will Win In The End?
Spielberg lost.
One of my favorite Oscar upsets is Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan! I guess I'm one of the few that were rooting for both Shakespeare and Paltrow on that night.
But they're not campaigning well. That's the problem. LOL. They put their bets on killing Zero Dark Thirty and coasting through these precursors, which is proving to have been unwise now that Argo and Silver Linings Playbook have established themselves as crowd pleasers, only gaining steam (partly the Lincoln people's own undoing with its perceived importance and pedigree). The problem will be highlighted this weekend when they don't win much. If anything at all aside from Day-Lewis.
I think it's pretty clear - as least it is to me in how they rolled the film out and adjusted its advertising - that they thought Lincoln would be positioned as undeniable around this point.

I didn't watch it then, but I was pleased with this win a few years later.Not necessarily Paltrow, because c'mon. But definitely for Picture.
Will Oscar have Riva Fever?
I don't know what will happen but at this moment I think nothing will affect the Oscars as most people think PGA, DGA will go to Argo. Perhaps it is another story if guilds want to influence it.

Considering that Shakespeare in Love>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Saving Private Ryan I'd say that Spielberg's fanboys need to just...MOVE.ON
Well, I didn't really care if Cate won at the time because she was a new actress and I figured she'd have lots of chances, which she did, and of course Paltrow only had that one chance and I thought her performance was wonderful and it was great to see a romantic/comedic performance win over the usual screaming and shouting dramatic fireworks.
Supporting crime is against the law.I didn't watch it then, but I was pleased with this win a few years later.

Actually, even though I was rooting hard for SPR, SIL is an excellent choice. Of the five nominees I'd have it at 3rd - but I think it was one one of the better BP winners of the last 15 years or so. But that speaks more to the quality of the 1998 field (which I still think is one of the stronger ones) than anything.
Blanchett raised her voice a few times but not really any screaming or shouting. The most dramatic lines were pretty quiet like "the let him sign it. And have it all be done."
LOL, I love how easy it is to see some people's SAG ballots on Twitter. Means nothing, but still fun.

I really feel as if DeNiro's so winning. I wonder about Field's odds for an upset, but that may just be wishful thinking! A night of only Silver Linings and Lincoln would be odd.
I thought it was accepted fact by now that SiL>>>>>>SPR.
By the un-delusional...it is.
By who? Ad board maybe.
It's still thought by many people as one of the worst mistakes in Oscar history.
But I was thinking last night about how odd Lincoln's trajectory is. Like, it probably won't win SAG or PGA and DGA is a toss up. For something that is supposed to be a way out front frontrunner it seems like there's very little passion for it.
Considering in split years mostly best film takes BD and it was one of that years, so no.

Saving Private Ryan is such a mediocre bore. Like, I'll never understand that manipulative embarassment being regarded as the best of anything.
