Bardem lijkt toch afstand te nemen van Affleck. Bardem was in het jaar van Mar Adentro eigenlijk ook al veel en veel beter dan Jamie Foxx, maar dat gold toen ook voor Cheadle, Depp en DiCaprio.

Not-So-Obviously Worst Film
Youth Without Youth/Bee Movie (Tie)

Er zitten ook awards tussen die ook voor TV gelden (de Globes oa.), daarom staat het topic niet onder een filter.

Bij de oscars (want daar gaat het om, de rest is slecht inleiding) denk ik dat Atonement en Scaphandre uiteindelijk niets gaan winnen. Nou ja, misschien costume design of zoiets voor Atonement en Cinematograpy voor Scaphandre, maar geen grote oscars.

Scaphandre had Foreign Language al binnen kunnen hebben, maar is niet genomineerd, dus....

quote:

Op maandag 24 december 2007 15:09 schreef Gillingham het volgende:
Waarom is Scaphandre niet voor Foreign Language genomineerd?
Ik vind Atonement overigens best wel een academy-film.

Omdat Frankrijk Persepolis heeft genomineerd.

Mijn prognoses zijn trouwens gebaseerd op trends/hypes/andere awards, niet op persoonlijke mening. Alles kan, maar sommige dingen zijn ondertussen al onwaarschijnlijk geworden.

Mwa, Scaphandre heb ik dus nog niet gezien, maar die andere twee wel en Persepolis vond ik toch wel duidelijk beter dan La Vie en Rose. Cotillard vind ik super, maar als film heeft hij toch wel serieuze gebreken.

quote:

Golden Globes Not Going To Air?

With less than a fortnight to go, organisers for the Golden Globes have begun to panic as with the writer's strike continuing, awards shows are looking less and less likely to happen this year.

On Wednesday the Hollywood Foreign Press Association issued a statement claiming it had begun discussions with the Writer's Guild to "enter into an interim agreement", much like that David Letterman did which allowed his show to go back into production with its writers.

Not long after, the Guild released its own statement basically saying that such an agreement will not be happening and that members of the Guild will still be picketing the Golden Globe Awards next Sunday.

A few minutes after that, the Screen Actors Guild issued its own statement saying that unless there is an agreement, it will advise our members to not cross the picket lines - in other words major stars (including many of the nominees) are unlikely to show up.

Misschien komen de Globes er niet eens.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar eveneens.

quote:

Op zaterdag 5 januari 2008 13:03 schreef Lonewolf2003 het volgende:
Dat zullen wel
Transformers
300
Pirates of The Golden Compasss worden.

Het is wel vreemd dat Potter en Spider-Man 3 er niet tussen staan en Evan Almighty en I Am Legend ( ) wel.

Tussen haakjes staat het aantal punten (denk ik).

De NSFC heeft wel wat aanzien, maar heeft ook meestal net iets andere keuzes dan de rest. Ze bestaat ook slechts uit een 60-tal leden, waarvan er zelfs maar 40 hebben gestemd, dus de impact is vrij beperkt.

De Broadcast Film Critics Association is de grootste. Ook de belangrijkste. Winnaars worden morgen bekend gemaakt.

Ik denk dat de BFCA na de Globes en de diverse union-gerelateerde awards (SAG, WGA, DGA,...) de belangrijkste zijn, ook qua indicatie voor de oscars.

Het lijkt erop dat men niet van plan is de Golden Globes uit te delen zonder acteurs en men weigert ook een ceremonie te houden zonder TV-uitzending. Voorlopig voorstel: de Globes uitstellen.

Ik weet het niet, ik vind een goed script nog relevanter voor de kwaliteit van een film dan de regisseur.

Een briljant regisseur kan met een kutscript geen sterke film maken. Een kutregisseur kan met een superscript nog steeds een sterke film maken. Vind ik dan.

De Broadcast Film Critics Awards winnaars, de eerste echt relevante awards met enige invloed:

Best Picture: No Country for Old Men
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
Best Actress: Julie Christie, Away From Her
Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
Best Supporting Actress: Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone
Best Director: Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
Best Writer: Diablo Cody, Juno
Best Young Actor: Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada, The Kite Runner
Best Young Actress: Saoirse Ronan, Atonement
Best Composer: Jonny Greenwood, There Will Be Blood
Best Song: "Falling Slowly", Once
Best Animated Feature: Ratatouille
Best Comedy Movie: Juno
Best Family Film: Enchanted
Best Foreign Language Film: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Best Acting Ensemble: Hairspray
Best Documentary: Sicko

Geen verrassingen, heel, heel erg voorspelbaar, erg conservatief en dus ook een beetje tegenvallend.

Trouwens, nu ik wat films heb gezien, vind ik een paar keuzes erg vreemd. Dan bedoel ik niet meteen keuze voor winnaars, maar de categorie waarin ze worden geplaatst.

Affleck in supporting is natuurlijk de opvallendste (en flagrantste), maar ook Ronan in supporting duwen en Knightley lead... mja, dat vind ik toch ook op het randje.

Ook Christie vind ik veel meer supporting dan lead, die film gaat niet over de vrouw met Alzheimer, maar over de echtgenoot en hoe hij hier mee omgaat, ze heeft nauwelijks eigen scenes, alleen scenes waarin hij haar bezoekt.

Ze zouden hier echt regels voor moeten opstellen i.p.v. studio's te laten kiezen in welke categorie ze een rol wensen te dumpen.

De nominaties van de Directors Guild of America:

Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood
The Coens, No Country for Old Men
Tony Gilroy, Michael Clayton
Sean Penn, Into the Wild
Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Degenen die hier niet tussen staan, zien hun kansen op een oscarnominatie voor de regie serieus slinken en kunnen een overwinning wel helemaal vergeten.

Verliezers zijn dus Reitman (Juno), Burton (Sweeney Todd) en Wright (Atonement).

Die kerel is een lid van de academy en heeft een lijstje bijgehouden (inclusief datums) van alle screeners/DVD's die hij heeft gekregen om zijn objectief oordeel te kunnen vellen.

Ook blijkt dat hij zijn taak serieus opneemt, want hij heeft heel veel inschrijvingen van foreign language gezien, msschien wel interessant om te weten wat iemand die zowaar veel heeft gezien en dus alles kan vergelijken ervan denkt. Voor de lage landen betekent dit dat hij Duska ontzettend vervelend vond en dat hij hoopt dat Ben X een nominatie krijgt .
