The 87th Academy Awards

The red carpet is done, who's taking Oscar home?

random that the first oscar thread was deleted...but oh well, time to roll.

1st category is Best Supporting Actor correct? Should be J.K. Simmons. Edward Norton could nab it as well.

Rooting for American Sniper. Doubt it wins but an incredible movie.

Simmons is a lock, as is Arquette for supporting actress and J Moore for lead actress.

If Birdman and Boyhood split there is a path.

 

[WarDamnVols]

Big Hero 6 deserved it. Very well crafted film.

 

[VolnJC]

and that's 3 for Whiplash..haven't seen that one yet

 

[WarDamnVols]

Big Hero 6 deserved it. Very well crafted film.

it was literally a coin flip between that and How to Train Your Dragon. shucks i missed it.

big upset in Editing. happy for Whiplash though.

 

[VolnJC]

Big Hero 6 deserved it. Very well crafted film.

I was thinking The Wind Rises was 2014..but it was nominated last year..I would have probably went with The Boxtrolls..thought it had a good balance of darkness with some timely humor thrown in
