10. James Marsh, Deep WaterFebruary 29, 2016 at 4:16 pm #218657The thing is I don’t find very much differences between 12 years a slave and The Birth of a Nation. Basically the same topic. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict Jeff Nichols for Loving, because he’s been in the radar for some years (Take Shelter, Mud…) and looks good for an indie filmmaker with a serious issue (racism) but treated in a romantic/sensitive/accesible way which will probably appeal to a bigger % of members. Also, “Midnight Special” will get him good ink too and will help.

So, time to predict them? Although Harvey is better with actors (Specially actresses), I remember Weinstein got noms for…
Morten Tyldum, The Imitation Game (2014)

Stephen Daldry, The Reader (2008)March 5, 2016 at 12:44 pm #218663This post was found to be inappropriate by the moderators and has been removed.March 5, 2016 at 11:52 pm #218665Hazanivicius could win one over Scorsese’s 3D, full of VFX directed film in 2011, so I don’t see the reason for the technical director to get a guarantee for nomination or even a win. If Silence is superior enough, I can see Scorsese win his overdue second oscar
ReplyCopy URLMarch 6, 2016 at 4:15 am #218666I hope Scorsese gets it. If Inarritu can win 4 Oscar, Scorsese surely deserves more than 1 Oscar. But in recent years the best director usually goes to the movie with great technical achievement, so I am not too sure about his chance.
Well, let’s wait and see Silence first, right?
