Best Picture Oscar 2014

american hustle seems like a really odd movie to hate. i can understand finding it a little overrated and boring and maybe even self-indulgent, but it seems like there's enough stuff to like in there for everyone to at least mildly enjoy something. i think anyone who truly hates that movie must really hate fun.

finally saw captain phillips, and i liked it a lot more than i thought i would.

1. Her
2. The Wolf of Wall Street
3. American Hustle
4. 12 Years a Slave
5. Gravity
6. Captain Phillips
7. Dallas Buyers Club
8. Nebraska
9. Philomena

American Hustle was easily my favorite movie of the year. However, I think 12 Years a Slave will win best picture (hope I'm wrong) and Gravity will win the most Oscars.

All of the Best Picture winners in one poster. It's fun to work them out.

Some of those are pretty clever. A few are very hard to discern, but that may be due to the small size, too. For example, even knowing 2008 was Slumdog Millionaire, I couldn't tell what it the Hell that was supposed to be. I eventually worked out that it is the "Millionare" chair in a spotlight on the stage. Not a great iconic image, even if I could see it. The Unforgiven one is pretty lazy. The French Connection, too. Tom Jones puts one more in the mind of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I think for both The Sting and Casablanca, they went with very generic things from movies that are full of iconic visual moments and elements.

But, overall, pretty cute/cool.

I love the Casablanca one. 22 Baby, 22. Never fails when you need it in Vegas.

when i saw the 2006 one I thought for a second that ratatouille won that year.

It entered my mind, I won't lie.

I like It a Happened One Night, Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Patton, and Lord of the Rings best.

I saw 4 of the nominees - Dallas,Gravity,12 Years,Captain Philips. I'm watching Her tomorrow in cinema and I'm definitely seeing Wolf of Wall Street as soon as I can.
Now,I would vote for Dallas Buyers Club,although,I wasn't really blown away by any of these films.

Rush and Behind The Candelabra are my favorites of the year so far.

I vote 12 years a Slave. It's a great film. But i didn't see yet Dallas Buyers Club. I think that is very beautiful too.

Do you like gravity really??? It has 7 votes. I'm shocked

Here is some more interesting artwork for the BP nominees:

I soooo want Gravity to win. I honestly think it is a cinematic masterpiece and I hardly ever say that "m" word. This movie just blew me away.

And am I the only one that thinks American Hustle is INCREDIBLY overrated? I felt like it was the Amy Adams T&A show and that was about it. I did enjoy the blown up microwave, though.

Don't get me wrong, it's well done, but Best Picture? Really?

No, you're not. It's my least favorite of the nominees and I've seen all of them.

You've said this about 50 times now

And I'll say it 50 times more before I'm done.

Maybe 100.

I'd prefer Gravity or American Hustle over anything else.

It's obvious what I want to win. It's also obvious that it won't win.
