But the joke is that I said I wouldn't name any other possible Oscar contenders in the article. However, there are 10 titles throughout the entire thing (and one that is alluded to).Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-16580119059336259812011-11-21T12:03:58.613-06:002011-11-21T12:03:58.613-06:00I see the descendants, Hugo.

I end the article with such words/phrases as "drive" and "50/50."

But if they can look at any of the films from 5+ and say they're kiddie fare, I'm not sure I like how the Academy thinks anyway.<br /><br />To All: lol, wow... did NOBODY get the recurring joke throughout the post (and I don't mean the Cuaron one)?

It simply won't because for good or ill, HP and the Current Problem are regarded as kiddie fare. Movies aimed at what the Academy thinks is a younger audience aren't taken seriously enough to win one of the big six (picture, director, actor, actress, supporting x2).<br /><br />It's not a question of right or wrong or even a question of fair--it's a question of true.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-42408236390620535712011-11-20T13:01:26.922-06:002011-11-20T13:01:26.922-06:00I really hope it gets a BP nomination.

I think the 5+ rule will actually hurt its chances the most, because seriously how many of the Academy members will be fanboys or fangirls?<br /><br />Good post.Nikhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379713171889712078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-48776672835205447812011-11-20T12:57:01.634-06:002011-11-20T12:57:01.634-06:00Good points.

I think that it stands a good chance of winning at this point in the game, though it probably won't. <br /><br />I agree with you on pretty much everything else. Adapted is best chance, and there's no way it's gonna get anything for acting unless it's to Rickman.Sebastian Gutierrezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301533140915071582noreply@blogger.com
