Birdman. That way they can award it to a "comic book" movie without actually giving it to a comic book movie. -- nm - Qale Feb 11, 10:21 1
- I like this. I'm gonna go with this. Birdman. yep -- nm - mud Feb 11, 10:25
Expect: Boyhood. Want: Birdman. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 11, 10:06
Birdman. Or anything other than Boyhood since that is my unofficial bet with Jorgito. -- nm - Ultron Feb 11, 10:02
Going with the bookies: Birdman. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 11, 09:31
i have a $5 bet that says it will be Boyhood (against Birdman,) -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 09:30
Boyhood. That said, this LAT columnist has been making a strong case for Birdman taking it - con_carne Feb 11, 09:26
Boyhood. The string of unworthy winners shall continue. -- nm - Jovian Feb 11, 09:25 21
- What do you consider the last worthy winner? -- nm - David Feb 11, 09:26 20
  - probably Slumdog Milloniare - Jovian Feb 11, 09:31
  - I will add that out of the last ten years, I consider all of these films worthy: - David Feb 11, 09:29 17
    - Then for me, it's only The Artist, No Country and maaaaaybe Slumdog. (I haven't seen Hurt Locker or 12 years A Slave) -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 09:59
    - By worthy, do you mean that you agree it is the best? Or that the movie winning is an acceptable outcome? -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 09:49 2
      - Acceptable outcome. -- nm - David Feb 11, 09:50 1
        
        Just where do you think we are, this is the Internet. Pick one for each year and fight for it tooth and nail! -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 09:56
    - yes, There Will Be Blood > No Country for Old Men -- nm - Jovian Feb 11, 09:33
    - Interesting. No Country is the one I would put before the others in that field. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 11, 09:33
    - 12 Years A Slave doesn't make the list? That's surprising. -- nm - Inigo Feb 11, 09:32 3
      - IIRC, it was my least favorite of last year's nominees. -- nm - David Feb 11, 09:33 2
        
        I just looked and my order was Gravity, Nebraska, Captain Phillips, Her, Philomena, DBC, 12 Years, Wolf, Hustle. - David Feb 11, 09:36
        
        Her was nominated. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 09:34
    - I really need to rewatch the departed. -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Feb 11, 09:31 6
      - Turn on tv. It's on. AMC or TBS or something seems to have it on every day. -- nm - volnelk Feb 11, 09:42 1
        
        It was on yesterday evening. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 09:44
      - I've rewatched it twice recently. It's both very good and very bad. Grotesque camera angles,overacting from the guys, and wtc with the flip phones -- nm - Max Feb 11, 09:37
      - If you haven't watched Infernal Affairs, I highly recommend it. -- nm - David Feb 11, 09:34 1
        
        Yep, both are really well done, and the contrast between them is interesting -- nm - prayformojo Feb 11, 09:37
      - I really need to watch it. -- nm - decline Feb 11, 09:32
  - Gone with the Wind -- nm - decline Feb 11, 09:28
boyhood. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 09:24
one of the nominated movies -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 11, 09:22 1
- My money's on GOTG winning as a write-in -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 09:47
Boyhood -- nm - Tim Feb 11, 09:22
Boyhood - ty97 Feb 11, 09:22
Boyhood. I want Birdman to win. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 09:22
