Sicario at least deserved a nomination for cinematography.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49531683]Best movies of 2015 for me were probably... Star Wars The Force Awakens Ex Machina Anomalisa Inside Out The Hateful Eight Straight Outta Compton (I liked it okay) The Martian I really want to see The Revenant, Room, Spotlight, Carol, The Danish Girl... and Sicario because I really wanna see what all the fucking fuss is about. I've avoided all spoilers. [editline]14th January 2016[/editline] It feels weird to say, and although I wouldn't care if it won or not, I think Star Wars deserved a nomination for Best Picture. Yes, really. It's just so much fun from beginning to end and it doesn't stop. If fucking [I]Avatar[/I] can get a nomination, why not this?[/QUOTE] The Martian, Straight Outta Compton, Force Awakens were alright but best picture? Come on, they were alright but you have to have standards for an award that high Straight Outta Compton maybe deserves a best supporting actor nod for jason mitchell but that's it [editline]d[/editline] seriously dissappointing that Sicario got snubbed

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;49532223]Straight Outta Compton maybe deserves a best supporting actor nod for jason mitchell but that's it[/QUOTE] I could agree with this, he did a great take on Eazy. I wish they'd released some of the revamped original tracks/instrumentals from the film too.

To me, Spotlight was honestly boring and too rudimentary in how it did everything. I don't think it deserves a BP nomination at all.

star wars isnt either

gosh rusty your posts read like persuasive essays. your opinion is always stated as fact.

slurp

Martian was alright but the audiobook was amazing. Inside Out is garbage. Its a movie manufactured to make you think its a "sad emotion movie of feelings" when its just Pixar not know what to do with the movie.

i didn't love inside out but i don't see how its garbage

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49533103]i didn't love inside out but i don't see how its garbage[/QUOTE] It was just a waste of time for me. They had a cool concept but thats it. They didnt know how to make an actual story out of it so they just bullshit there way through it. Its not offensively bad just a waste.

Sicario is masterfully made (Villeneuve and Deakins are alongside Innarito and Lubezki for super director/cinematographer combos) but imo its story was really weak, at least compared to Enemy/Prisoners/Incendies.

I actually thought Inside Out was one of Pixar's best

Badlands - Wow that was really great. It's amazing the whole atmosphere it creates without being too obvious about really anything specific in respect to that atmosphere. I enjoyed it a lot better than I had expected.

[QUOTE=cheetahben;49534122]I actually thought Inside Out was one of Pixar's best[/QUOTE] yeah definitely one of their 16 best movies

I'm glad Avengers 2 or Jurassic World didn't get Oscar noms. Either cash-gab isn't deserving of what Mad Max and Star Wars accomplished.

Fifty Shades of Grey is now officially an Oscar nominee though

[QUOTE=Mbbird;49532971]gosh rusty your posts read like persuasive essays. your opinion is always stated as fact.[/QUOTE] thats on u if its your interpretation. im not about to say imo after everything. its a given

[QUOTE=cheetahben;49534312]Fifty Shades of Grey is now officially an Oscar nominee though[/QUOTE] thankfully it's only for best original song and it's gonna lose super fucking hard

I liked Sicario but I feel like I didn't like it nearly as much as a lot of people here. It definitely wasn't one of my favourite movies of the year.

[QUOTE=Scot;49534638]I liked Sicario but I feel like I didn't like it nearly as much as a lot of people here.

I think reading everybody hype it up so much or my girlfriend ruined it for me, I saw it with her and she hated it because thought it was really boring. I did like it though, just not love it, like I did Prisoners and Enemy

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;49531774]They're not doing ten movies anymore? That's bullshit.[/QUOTE] It doesn't work like that. Films chosen for Best Picture nomination are voted with [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote]STV system[/url], which means essentially means this: - People chose films by creating a list 1-10 with 10 being their strongest preference and 1 being their lowest (or its 5 films, I'm not sure, but that's irrelevant for now). - In order for a film to be even considered it must have at least 5% of all votes. - 10 films is the maximum amount of films possible to get a nomination (so for instance if it's impossible to have 20 films nominated even if all of them have over 5%) - After counting the votes from first place, the rest of the votes is proportionally distributed for next places on the list. It's not a simple way, but at least, in all its horribleness it seems fair - this way not only straight-up artistic films and obvious Oscar-baits can get in, but also more popular films like Martian or Mad Max. It also explains why the number changes - sometimes it's nine, sometimes it's eight. It looks like it's really a challenge to have 10 films nominated, it would be a sign of a very equal year.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49533315]It could have been better, but yeesh, offensively bad?[/QUOTE] I meant not offensively bad. Woops..

so the (sort of?) sequel to cloverfield has been announced [video=youtube;saHzng8fxLs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saHzng8fxLs[/video] trailer was good got some real too many cooks vibes

The Martian is a perfectly fine movie, far from being garbage. I think the biggest problem with it is that it didn't really try anything different, it's has the usual movie structure and twists/resolutions that you expect from being such.

[QUOTE=TheKritter71;49534230]I'm glad Avengers 2 or Jurassic World didn't get Oscar noms. Either cash-gab isn't deserving of what Mad Max and Star Wars accomplished.[/QUOTE] Mad Max is great and Star Wars is pretty solid. For some reason a lot of pretentious wanks in my film course hated Mad Max and "walked out after 15 minutes lol". After watching it myself I was shocked at how they could even consider it being an awful film. A lot of the tutors and more grounded students enjoyed it though.

They probably walked out because it wasn't an art film.

But Fury Road was beautiful the cinematography, visual effects, world design, costume design, and vehicle design were all superbly executed and looked wonderful

the martian was boring and predictable. i'd only recommend this movie to someone who really really likes damon personally, i don't care about him

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;49536319]But Fury Road was beautiful the cinematography, visual effects, world design, costume design, and vehicle design were all superbly executed and looked wonderful[/QUOTE] Yeah, but da narrative wasn't "deep" enough to get me emotionally invested in da plot.
