Another thing to consider: Selma is a Paramount picture. If they feel it picking up steam in the next few weeks, they will probably put their big guns behind it moreso than Interstellar

I feel this thread needs a bump. Individuals who are learned in the art, craft and science of cinematography should start having a nice discussion about Hoytey's contribution to the film in detail. Admittedly, I am not one of those individuals. So anyone, whatever. While Nolan retains some of his r...

Love the movie even though there were some major flaws. Matt Damon part was close to ruining the movie for me. That part was just stupid. Haven't had a good sci fi like this since Contact. Sunshine was good but not on par with these two. This is my favorite out of the Nolan film and maybe just a bi...

I think if Selma is going to get in, it will be on merit, not on the race game. Now, if it has a chance of winning, then there may be some politics there, but that's a discussion for another day. In regards to Interstellar, all these films just keep pushing it down the totem pole. There will be a p...

If the Howard Hughes biopic ever gets made, that will win.

I've come to realize that Nolan won't get his due until he makes something more purely dramatic. I don't ever want him to try to appeal to the academy. He'll keep exploring his own art, and that's exactly what makes him so amazing. I think he just did. Nah, putting emotion into the film wasn't an a...

Those are Twitter reactions, and they're exactly like the reaction from early screenings of Interstellar ; all hyperbolic. I think the situation is a little different. These are from Oscar pundits and critics. Holds a little more weight than what was coming out for Interstellar. We'll see though, c...

Judging from those reactions, I think we've found the new front runner for Best Picture. I saw the trailer before Interstellar and it looked pretty good, so I'm glad to hear that it's getting a positive response. Although, one quibble: Scott Feinberg's tweet. I have no doubt that David Oyelowo is t...

I expected as such. Pretty much squashes any chance Interstellar had in the big categories. If Unbroken is good, that will deal the final blow.

I'm excited to see Selma though. I saw the trailer in front of Interstellar and it looked phenomenal.
