So, Daniel Baldwin Hemsworth?

That's nothing, there was a point when he was near the top of a short list of potential "Preacher" directors.

I am amazed that they did it ten times plus a half hour prime time special and zero of them seem to have that.

Actually, it goes even further — one could argue that he made *three* movies in 1987, because he shot "September" twice in its entirety.

Well, the word beetles is spelled "beetles", but they changed it because music has a beat.

"By preemptively commenting on the Oscar race, journalists shape and solidify it."

"I feel like you just kind of aren't good at navigating the pages if all you're finding is kids programming and shitty documentaries."

I feel like you are making it sound more plausible in your synopsis, but maybe just because I am not actually looking at E's face when somebody says that they will marry him.

RAGING BULL is basically the same scene over and over and over and over but you gotta admit, it's a helluva scene.

"his performances make everything that he's in watchable."

I would agree with those that you cited, it's more noticeable when (for instance) BENJAMIN BUTTON beats IRON MAN… or HUGO vs. TRANSFORMERS: A SEQUEL… or even (this one is more subjective) LIFE OF PI vs. PROMETHEUS… PROMETHEUS was a bad movie, and LIFE OF PI was a great one, and LIFE OF PI wins because it is a Film…

"Could you maybe at least compare it to Star Wars, Carmen?"

So did the last good Mad Max movie, but that trailer still looks great.

The answer is in the title, no?

If you are you own father, then you are also your own grandfather.

Visual Effects usually goes to "Best Movie that has Visual Effects", as opposed to best actual visual effects. The sound ones are tricky; one of them tends to go to a musical if possible, but I can never distinguish those categories.

The problem is that you are proposing a solution. I don't think that the music branch is trying to be more inclusive with their nominations.

Whenever I am in an Oscar pool, I ask myself "Which of these scores can I remember a ten second snippet of? Which one can I whistle the theme from?" That one usually wins.

"If you clear the threshold by leaps and bounds, those ballots get redistributed to the #2 and #3 films."

It's definitely the front-runner right now. The only movie that has a shot at beating it, as far as I can see, is BOYHOOD, if it is just winning everything.
