    I was hoping you'd use the shot of Tonks grasping for Lupin's hand!

    Jason could you do a similar job but with "the best lines spoken"? Something like that?

    For example:

    Harry Potter: Let´s finish this the way we started, together.
    Snape: Look at me, you have your mother eyes.
    Ralph Fiennes: The boy who lived, come to die.

    The Washington DC critics nominations have been announced.
    DH2 is nominated for Best Ensemble Cast and Best Art Direction. Surprisingly, it missed a Best Original Score nomination (well, Drive was nominated which won't be eligible for the Oscars and judging from the nods it received, they really loved it) and it also missed a BP nod (and a surprising Cinematography exclusion). But the fact that it's nominated for Ensemble Cast is a good thing. Because the BP nominees were: The Artist, Drive, The Descendants, Hugo (hahaha, some of you will loathe this) and Win Win. Win Win and Drive are random choices. Judging from the amount of nods the other films got, I'd say that you can replace the latter two with 'The Help' and 'War Horse with 'Moneyball' and 'Deathly Hallows' following. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was surprisingly snubbed (only a nod for Score!). They also didn't nominate War Horse except Cinematography and Score, I think.


    So far, DH2 is the only Potter that is making it so far and it looks like it's definitely in the top 13.
    The BP contenders are:

    1. The Artist
    2. The Descendants
    3. Hugo
    4. The Help
    5. Midnight in Paris
    6. War Horse
    7. Moneyball
    8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
    9. The Tree of Life
    10. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    11. Drive
    12. The Ides of March
    (13. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) [not yet seen, so there are no reviews at all]

    Damn it Hugo...
  • blackvenomblackvenom Posts: 3,257
    I watched Hugo and I agree with you. Except for the final 20-30 minutes which were very good and nostalgic (with the whole homage to the history of cinema), the rest of it was incredibly bland, childish and boring. There were some good moments, but nothing particularly interesting. It's a good film, but nothing award-worthy.


    Now, there have been reports that the Academy doesn't really like the film, because of its extensive use of 3D and it annoyed many of them. Which is the main difference with Avatar. Avatar was a technologically revolutionary film in every single way. Hugo isn't. It just uses 3D very well. But extensively and annoyingly sometimes. So I'm glad there's some sort of backlash. :-P

    Instead of positive comments on the other ones, Stafford directly goes to one he dislikes and lets everyone know.

    I didn't know that it was made by one of us. I thought that it was made by WB, and badly done, as they've super imposed Voldemort from another shot onto an entirely different shot.

    The Washington DC critics awards winners have been announced.

    As you know, DH2 was nominated for Best Ensemble Cast and Best Art Direction.
    It lost to Bridesmaids (LOL) and Hugo respectively. HAHAHAHAHAHA.


    Thank god these critics awards are extremely minor and don't mean anything. Because the fact that Bridesmaids won over Potter and even The Help is absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention Hugo's win for Art Direction. If Stuart Craig loses the Oscar and BAFTA for Best Art Direction, I'll be pissed.
  • NumberEightNumberEight Posts: 1,574 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Please get Hugo off there.

    I saw it. So not a BP contender in my eyes.

    Le sigh if it gets in but Potter doesn't
    Hugo gets a nomination because of its ode to cinema. That's it. That film made critics and Hollywood feel relevant.

    So Crucify the ego, before it's far too late, to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical. And you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.

    It is made by WB, and is beautifully done. You should be happy we're getting stuff anyways.

    Voldemort does not fit in that picture at all. As if someone just photoshopped him in with little to no effort.

    I said from the outset that it was blatantly photoshopped, and guess who agrees and feels the same way about it? It isn't beautifully done, it's dreadfully done.

    Do you find it so surprising youre overhated? ;)
    Yes, you were the last person that i wanted to get into an argument with. The one person who can't defend himself. And no... i don't find it surprising, as what do you expect after all this honesty? Take an honest look, and you'll see. Be what you're being right now, and you won't.

    If you were to see it from my perspective, you would see that it is blatantly beautiful. And once again, you should be happy that we are getting any thing to promote this awards-worthy film. Once again, I say: appreciate what we get rather than being bitter about what we don't.

    Well, for one, i'm not being bitter. Secondly... i don't see how two completely different shots, merged together, can be seen as 'blatantly beautiful' when in any other case, you along with i, would be slating WB's marketing department for lacking in talent. I don't remember you enjoying the Part 2 posters, but i do remember you not enjoying them... for the same reason as i do not like them now. Photoshop.

    I thought Part 2's posters were some of the best of the series, even though they weren't necessarily original or perfect. I still enjoyed them. But that's not why I enjoy these FYC posters. The FYC posters are treating the film seriously, as it deserves to be, with stunning shots from the film which display its best assets, along with glowing praise to narrate it.

    I never said that i didn't enjoy the FYC posters, only this one. I'm a fan of most of these, and this is the only one out of them that i don't like. For obvious reasons.

    Nah, I think the Academy is definitely going to award Potter with a BP nomination purely because of such consistent work over the past decade. However, there are a lot of films which have more Oscar-bait soundtracks and cinematography (War Horse, Hugo, etc) and based on the awards tracking websites those are the two categories that are going to be the hardest for us to get a nomination in.

    Actually, it does make sense if you ever get stop being such an ass thinking you're right about everything.

    There's a saying: go big or home go home. If you aren't ready to pound it out and go to the extreme, don't bother. And that's what WB is doing. They are going big, all these posters, books, commercials, etc. They are going for it, as they should. So, instead of saying go big or go home, I say best picture or go home. WB is doing it, whatever your opinion is on the posters, they are doing their best to get that BP win.

    There, maybe now you can stop being so fucking anal about everything. You wanted to be technical, so I gave you the answer. So please, don't go out of your fucking way to say something doesn't make sense.
