Have I missed anything? Please tell me...
No love for Pi in your BP rankings?
ReplyDeleteOops...how did I miss that? I don't think it's going to get man nominations, but it'll probably definitely get in there for Picture. Guess I have to get rid of BEST EXOTIC...
ReplyDeleteDean, As ever we are very like-minded here. I'll just concentrate on the best film, directing and acting for the moment. We have picked the same 8 films, the same directors except I went for Lee and not Russell. For actor, I went for Jackman and Cooper, Cotillard and not Streep, Arkin and not McConaughey and Maggie Smith and not Hunt.
ReplyDeleteI think Lee is going to suffer because of the universally criticized wraparound sequences; I even thingk there's a strong possibility of the film not making it in to the top gathering. I am starting to think that even LES MISERABLES might not get the love we expected, because Todd McCarthy's review made it seem quite bland (though it seems impossible that it's not going to get a nomination. No chance that McConaughey doesn't get in; it's a brilliant and unforgettable star turn. I eliminated Maggie Smith in favor of Ann Dowd, who is campaigning hard and has the added bonus of REALLY being amongst the top ten best performances of the year (and she's a lead performer relegated to supporting status). I think the big question is about BEST EXOTIC. Watching it, it felt like a Best Pic nominee, but will it be remembered? At any rate, it'll be one of those that only gets two nominations, if it's rememberd at all.

ReplyDeleteThe years 2013 and 2014 are loaded with planetary significance because some rare plantetary configurations occur during his periond.However since slow moving planets-Saturn,Jupiter and Rahu are involved-heir effects will be felt before actual formations and will be in effect even after 2014-15. These changes both negative and positive will cause deep changes in countries,organizations and society.
