Random Oscar Thoughts 2012-2013 Part 4

[Luc]

I think that one from Film.com was actually very reasonable, even if I disagree with some of his choices...

Dame Leo reporting,

Only the inept Sony Pictures Oscar people would allow this winning article about a nominee come out the day AFTER voting ends!

I remember a similar ballot from 2009 in one of the sound categories a "voter" wrote: "should go to the movie with the loudest BOOM!"

Dame Leo rolls eye,

Give me unreasonable and RIGHT than reasonable and WRONG.

And no one who votes for Hugh Jackman in that field can be considered reasonable.

In the last few years, I was much more passionate about wanting something to win and NOT wanting something to win than I feel this year. The films that won the last couple of years are – in retrospect – kind of inconsequential, and this year a number of movies are actually important and timely and eye-opening… big movies dealing with big themes; movies of consequence that will matter years from now, whereas it could be argued that “The King’s Speech” and “The Artist” were not exactly sweeping in their vision…

... and then he votes for Argo.

[Luc]

... and then he votes for Argo.

Yeah.

[moviewatcher]

... and then he votes for Argo.

Is there anything that guy genuinely liked?

[Atonenent.]

Most thanked people at the Oscars:
More.

I don't know why Meryl and God are counted as one though.

BEST SOUND MIXING
“This is the award for sound that is mixed on the set on the day. I’m going to dismiss Life of Pi because it seems like very much of a postproduction movie. And I’m going to vote for Les Miserables because they recorded the singing for live on the set and every quaver had to be caught. They had to be absolutely perfect, and they were.”

Mmm no it's not.

[erikdean]

Mmm no it's not.

Yeah, when I read that I was like, ugh, this is why things get/are boring sometimes.

I almost wish sometimes that nominations and winners should only be voted on by the branch.

Can you believe that it's a director saying that, too? Yikes.

"Lincoln is going in my second slot; it’s a bore, but it’s Spielberg, it’s well-meaning, and it’s important."

Voters like these are why Spielberg could still maybe be a contender despite no one seeming to actually love the movie aside from DDL's performance and sporadically Kushner's script.

[Meegadeth]

Mmm no it's not.

LOL that's clearly Tom Hooper.

[Matt24]

That guy is basically the sum of all my fears for what an Oscar voter is like.

[Michael_Bay]

It s fake, I can't believe one man can be that stupid and douchey.

[City Lights]

It s fake, I can't believe one man can be that stupid and douchey.

LOL.

Oh you...

[Bean]

I mean, lots of boring winners, but it's a very well made supercut.

One could say the same about every one of your posts.

[Donezo]

I love how everything between Wings and Gone with the Wind is just.......people standing around in various rooms.
