2008 Oscar Best Picture Predictions!

For the 2008 Academy Awards, the nominations for best picture are:

There Will Be Blood
Juno
No Country For Old Men
Micheal Clayton
Atonement

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering what threadless peeps think, so it's polling time!

Just say which of the five films you think should win, and also please write which of the 5 you've seen.

PS- RIP Heath Ledger, a brilliant actor who will be missed and remembered.

fuck the Oscars. how Johnny Greenwood's original score for There Will Be Blood doesn't deserve even a nomination boggles my mind.

sugarless on Jan 22 '08 at 9:19pm

I've seen Juno & Atonement... I guess I'll say Atonement. Juno was great, but definitely not the best of the year.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:19pm

oh... There Will Be Blood was the best movie of 2007... who knows what they'll pick

KBShakedown on Jan 22 '08 at 9:20pm

Whichever one had Will Smith.

sleepyfeet on Jan 22 '08 at 9:20pm

I've only seen Juno.

juliejeremiah on Jan 22 '08 at 9:20pm

Apparently that score isn't eligible because not enough of it was written specifically for the movie.

juliejeremiah on Jan 22 '08 at 9:21pm

I've only seen No Country... and I could definitely see it winning.

Chipmnk on Jan 22 '08 at 9:22pm

Having seen none of those, I'm going to say There Will Be Blood. I've heard lots and lots of good things about it.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:22pm

Apparently that score isn't eligible because not enough of it was written specifically for the movie.

lkas;lgj;ljksd;fjsl really?! it was perfect for the film. amazing...

peater on Jan 22 '08 at 9:22pm

Javier Bardem should definitely get something.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:22pm

if TWBB doesn't win, I'll be ok if No Country For Old Men wins.

margolove on Jan 22 '08 at 9:23pm

I'm weirded out that Michael Clayton got a nom

I haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet, but I'm guessing it will be that or No Country for Old Men. Those are safe predictions, though. Atonement was good but I don't think it will beat out those two.

repoman on Jan 22 '08 at 9:23pm

I've only seen No Country For Old Men and Juno, but I know that out f the five, NCFOM is my pick. I've always been a Cohen brothers fan, and this was one of their best.

I definitely plan on seeing There Will Be Blood, but Atonement looks a snooze fest (period piece ANDchick flick), and if I see Micheal Clayton, I'm only supporting George Clooney's belief that he's the greatest human being of all time.

margolove on Jan 22 '08 at 9:23pm

Antonement wasn't really that much of a chick flick, ahaha

margolove on Jan 22 '08 at 9:24pm

and you'd be surprised about how they parlay the "period piece" thing... it gets put into a different context at the end

repoman on Jan 22 '08 at 9:24pm

Yeah, my jaw pretty much dropped when I heard about the Johnny Greenwood thing! What crap.

repoman on Jan 22 '08 at 9:26pm

What did people think of Juno? I hated it personally, it was like a forgettable episode of freaks and geeks. Also, it was so fucking pretentious and snobby, what with her always talking about how cool her tastes in movies and music were.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:27pm

i thought Juno was an exceptionally written and acted film.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:27pm

Antonement wasn't really that much of a chick flick, ahaha

agreed. it was a wonderful film... just not the best of the year.

margolove on Jan 22 '08 at 9:27pm

I think that "pretentious" is a word most people use to describe things when they can't think of a more exact criticism and want to lazily dislike something.

peater on Jan 22 '08 at 9:27pm

I really don't see Juno winning... not that it shouldn't.

jet approves on Jan 22 '08 at 9:28pm

i've only seen juno, and i want it to win.

opifan64 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:28pm

No Country For Old Men was fantastic. my pick so far but I haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet. hoping to catch it this weekend.

margolove on Jan 22 '08 at 9:29pm

yeah, I do not think it will be winning best anything. I was also a little surprised at the supporting actress nom for the Saoirse Ronan, although she did do a great job.

margolove on Jan 22 '08 at 9:29pm

It's pretty definite that Juno won't win. "It's prize is the nomination," essentially.

Chipmnk on Jan 22 '08 at 9:30pm

Yeah, I'm kind of confused as to why Juno is put into that list (not that it's a bad movie by any standards).

Jackanapes mk.II on Jan 22 '08 at 9:30pm

I hope Juno wins. It'd be nice to have my own Oscar.

repoman on Jan 22 '08 at 9:30pm

I normally agree on pretentious being a stupid criticism, but hearing somebody talk about how cool Iggy Pop and obscure horror directors are on screen fits the bill pretty well.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:31pm

I really don't see Juno winning... not that it shouldn't.

frankly... i liked the film. it was funny and enjoyable, however, i was surprised when i saw that it got a nomination. it was a good film, but it wont win.

BrandonB11 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:31pm

i doubt juno will get win, it was good but to be that kind of comedy and the oscars hating comedies its not that good

im actually kinda suprised it was nominated

there will be blood should win everything always, daniel day lewis is AMAZING

margolove on Jan 22 '08 at 9:31pm

it's their token indie flick nom

BrandonB11 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:31pm

lol idan beat me to saying the same exact thing

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:32pm

No Country For Old Men was fantastic. my pick so far but I haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet. hoping to catch it this weekend.

those are my two favorite films of 2007. having seen both twice, I can say that TWBB grew on my the second time (even though it blew me away the first) while No Country lost a little bit of it's steam.

TWBB is, just as the advertisements claim, a masterpiece.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:34pm

having seen TWBB, I now consider Daniel Day-Lewis the best actor of my lifetime.

margolove on Jan 22 '08 at 9:35pm

so this is perhaps odd to mention, but I think the cinematography race will be really tight.

Atonement and No Country for Old Men were both so incredibly visually stunning, and There Will Be Blood looked amazing, too.

BrandonB11 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:35pm

o but im extremely happy that PT Anderson got a nomination for best director, i was pissed that he got a snub from the golden globes

i love all his movies

peater on Jan 22 '08 at 9:35pm

the only thing i've seen of Daniel-Day is The Crucible, haha.

opifan64 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:36pm

I'll definitely see it then. I saw NCFOM twice too, lol. I sort of agree with you that it lost some of its visceral impact upon second viewing, although I enjoyed the opportunity to be able to sit back and actually study the craft and direction without being as caught up in the story.

BrandonB11 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:37pm

o and although paul dano was overshadowed in TWBB he put on such an amzing performance that he deserved at least a nomination

Pizazz on Jan 22 '08 at 9:37pm

Juno ftw

opifan64 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:38pm

I think Daniel Day-Lewis is an incredible actor, but from the trailers I've seen of TWBB it looked like he was possibly teetering on the brink of overacting, but maybe it's different when you see the whole film

BrandonB11 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:38pm

i seriously dont know how juno got that many nominations

i liked it but its every indie film wrapped into one

peater on Jan 22 '08 at 9:39pm

the Coens will possibly get Cinematography just for being... them.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:39pm

o and although paul dano was overshadowed in TWBB he put on such an amzing performance that he deserved at least a nomination

i don't think he was overshadowed, but i do agree that it would have been nice to see him get a nom.

iDanSimpson on Jan 22 '08 at 9:40pm

the Coens will possibly get Cinematography just for being... them.

there were some really great subtle shots that destroyed me each time i saw the film

tracerbullet on Jan 22 '08 at 9:40pm

No Country or There Will Be Blood better win. I haven't seen TWBB, but I haven't heard a single bad thing about it. Juno was very good, but it's not best picture worthy.

Michael Clayton was nominated? I barely even remember hearing about that.

And fuck Atonement. I don't care if it is a decent movie; it already robbed the Golden Globes.

tracerbullet on Jan 22 '08 at 9:41pm

"Falling Slowly" better win for Best Original Song. It's up against three songs from Enchanted (which were fun and amusing, but not nearly as amazing as every song from Once) and something else.

BrandonB11 on Jan 22 '08 at 9:41pm

maybe not overshadowed but i mean the last scene even when hes screaming all eyes are on DDL, which im pretty sure was intended

repoman on Jan 22 '08 at 9:42pm

I'm seeing TWBB this weekend, and if Dan's ravings are any indication, it should rule.

I guess I'm being harsh on Atonement, but I am sick of seeing Knightly in pre-Cold War love stories.

Jackanapes mk.II on Jan 22 '08 at 9:42pm

Margo liked Atonement. Which means I don't love her anymore.
