2015 Academy Awards (Oscars). Which Film Should Win Best Picture?

Here’s How The Academy Chooses The Best Picture

From Fivethirtyeight.com

Worthwhile.

You're taking little snippets from an entire review to prove nothing (some of which don't even comment on its 12-year process), and you're assuming that the process is immediately a gimmick because it doesn't fit the norm.

Cameron Diaz, 'Saving Christmas' Win Big at Razzies

Perfect example of how the reactions of people who didn't enjoy it as much as others are far more exaggerated and anger driven than those that did like it. I think the funnier thing is, it is actually 'Birdman' this year that has the more outspoken supporters.

Redlettermedia (aka mr plinkett) is a review show akin to Roger And Ebert mixed in with parody of bad 80's sitcoms; it's suppose to be exaggerated.

For anyone interested (that will no one) this was the original review.

"I want worthwhile reviews. Here: nitpicking"

Who wants worthwhile reviews? Who replied to the person wanting worthwhile reviews? Who are you quoting? Is this two people, or one? If it's two, why are they in the same quote?

???

I know who RLM are. Maybe you didn't understand that first video you posted. Its point was portray this idea that because so many others liked it, and they didn't, that they must change to abide by what others thought...this (wrongly) assumes that people who liked it have been outspoken about those that don't - and have had negative reactions to negative/mixed reviews. That has not been the case with 'Boyhood'. Despite all the praise, the support has been rather mellow. As I said, if people actually followed critics/the industry, etc. they would know that most people who loved 'Boyhood' - even those that do think it is a "masterpiece" - couldn't care less what others think. It is actually 'Birdman' that has strong supporters losing their minds over those that didn't think too highly of it.

The clip n context is specifically discussing the Oscars and boyhood being nominated; predicting it will be win for every entry.

Clip says nothing about the Oscars. They are specifically talking about the RT scores & reviews.

Actually I got it muddled up with the other episode.

That clip is from episode 76, the one I was thinking of was 82. I'm a fraud.

• The Grand Budapest Hotel...........awesome movie.

I've only seen American Sniper and The Imitation Game.. I wish this one won the best picture, but I believe Whiplash and Boyhood will put up fight

Movies in the 80s and 90s would win any Oscar from 2000-Present.

Is Patricia Arquette drunk or haggard? lmao

OT's pick is:

I'm ashamed to say that I accidentally voted for the wrong movie!

Biggest lock of the night.

Look, is the Law & Order psychiatrist!

I see that the search for the next great Oscars host continues.

These boards are painfully slow. Even a damn OSCAR thread isn't getting any traffic.

It isn't traffic per se but if it wasn't for the stupid "no more than 2 post in a row" this threads would be in the 100's but GS can't get their shit together so users have to suffer.

Anyways.

Someone should take a count of how many NPH's jokes fell flat.

It won Best Visual Effects! Yayyyyyyyy!

Patricia Arquette's acceptance speech sounded so fake and plastic.

You'd literally have to know nothing about here to think that.

Love to know how many of the voters knew that it was mostly all practical effects.

It had nothing to do with if what she said was true, I take her at word, but the delivery was poor.

Very much liked inherent vice

This guy should host next year. Come on Academy, show some guts.

That's right, applaud you SOPA loving motherfuckers.

I really like NPH...but anyone would be better than him at this point. So safe, and at his best, simply chuckle worthy.

Did anyone find inherent vice to be too suffocatingally convoluted?

Heard that from a few people

This song is undeniable, sharp and strong. The best part of the movie.

Just get Ricky Gervais. It's like NPH stepped off of the How I Met Your Mother set.

Oh look, that joke by NPH got a laugh.

'Glory' performance won the night. Also, Travolta is a creepy little fucker.

Hey John Legend, call for the legalization/decriminalization of all drugs.

Lady Gaga should be normal more often.

That race stuff was complete bullshit propaganda. We don't need that shit at the Oscars.

It's Hollywood. What do you expect?

Oscars race

Did he really have to bring up incarceration and that "African-American voting rights are being threatened" ?

That's bullshit. And people bought it.

Hey Eddie, how about a joke?

Chewing gum with your mouth open, keeping it classy.

African-Americans have voting rights, why should that be made an issue?

There are more blacks incarcerated than whites simply because there are more black criminals. Simple as that.

People, like the two on the Oscars tonight, need to stop victimizing themselves. It's a tactic, and it's a deceptive one.
