Oscars 2016

[misplaced validity]

Is it too soon to start looking ahead to next year? Lol.

Jean-Marc Vallee has directed 4 different actors to Oscar noms in the past 2 years (with 2 of them winning). This year he has a movie coming out starring previous nominees Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts and previous winner Chris Cooper. Watch out?

All I know about next year is that Sandy Powell will most likely get another Best Costume Design Oscar nomination for Cinderella.

Time to start speculating about this years "Mona Lisa Smile" and "Radio"

Academy might be considering returning to 5 Best Picture nominees.

Good. I get what they were trying to do with up to 10 nominees, but I much prefer only having five.

Also, Vox had an article on 15 films to look forward to for Oscar 2016.

Not an Onion article: Vin Diesel predicts Furious 7 to win Best Picture at the Oscars.

I haven't seen it but I'm pretty sure the Academy has nominated worse films than that.

Quote:8. Did I mention that this is not a concert… not a stand-up venue… not about pandering to people who will never watch a stuffy old awards. It is about making a great show for the 40 million or so people who will not miss a stuffy old award show under pain of death.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

The Joy movie in the article dug posted just makes me roll my eyes. They're still intent on having Lawrence play older than she is. Granted, she's getting there, but she doesn't have the wisdom or years behind her to pull off these mature beyond her years roles.
