If This Hobbit Movie is as good as any of the LOTR movies. It will win best picture

[4Corners]

Oh and Boyhood has it on lock. Can't even fathom how overrated Birdman is. It's good but Idk. I liked Keaton in it, he'll probably win Best Actor. No problem with that but best film.......Idk man

Ralph Fiennes was snubbed for Best Actor. I don't think Bradley Cooper deserved Oscar nom for American Sniper in such a competitive year.

Oh and The Imitation Game......way overrated. Another "Safe" film the academy nominates a **** ton.

Best Films in 2014 for me.......

Gone Girl (snubbed big time)
Nightcrawler
Interstellar
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Boyhood
Birdman (overrated but still good)

I've not seen Whiplash, A Most Violent Year, Selma, or Foxcatcher but they're supposed to be good.

No one who knows much about awards season with films thought this would get nominated.

Saw American Sniper.....good but not great

Next up....Foxcatcher, A Most Violent Year, Selma.

Still upset none of the academy or anything really liked Interstellar for more than technical categories. I thought it was really good aside from 1 thing....Anne Hatheway.

Still need to see Foxcatcher. Hoping to go next week.

I'm glad Steve Carrel has an Oscar Nomination, I'm a big fan of his.

I don't think this has been a strong year.

Or atleast I don't like many of the films.

Even the ones I haven't seen, like Whiplash and Birdman etc don't look like I would enjoy them.

Whereas last year I liked most of the films.

For lead Actor though....it was a strong year

Birdman
Nightcrawler
Theory of Everything
Imitation Game
Selma
American Sniper
Grand Budapest Hotel
Foxcatcher
Inherent Vice

All those lead performances could have had a decent shot a nomination in the lead actor category. I haven't seen Foxcatcher but apparently Steve Carrel is great in it. So my five would have been this.....

Keaton for Birdman
Jake G for Nightcrawler
Fiennes in Grand Budapest
Carrell for Foxcatcher
Redmayne in Theory of Everything

The biggest snubs this year were Gone Girl for Best Picture, Director, and screenplay....pretty much anything really. Nightcrawler as well, at the very least deserved a Best Actor nom. Fiennes for Best Actor too.

I guess many of those just aren't my cup of tea.

Nightcrawler was quite good and Gyllenhaal was good.

I've not seen many of the others, very few of those interest me.
