Vote for your favorite Best Picture nominee (2014 Oscars)

Welcome to the 5th annual DVDTalk Best Picture Oscar Poll!

Once again let's see how far apart we are from the Oscar voters. Keep in mind that this is a poll for our favorite movies and not an attempt to predict the actual Oscar winner.

I still need to see most of these, so I don't have an early opinion yet.


Previous DVDTalk poll winners and (Oscar winners):

2013: Django Unchained (Argo)
2012: Tree Of Life (The Artist)
2011: The Social Network (The King's Speech)
2010: Inglorious Basterds (The Hurt Locker)

I've only seen 3 of the nominees, guess I should wait. Currently Wolf of Wall Street is probably my favorite.

I've only seen two of them. Gonna blast through this weekend and next week.

Wolf of Wall Street is my favorite so far. From everything I've heard about the other movies, chances are that WoWS will still be my favorite. We'll see.

Re: Vote for your favorite Best Picture nominee (2014 Oscars)

Seen them all except Philomena, which I can't say I have much interest in. All of them except Captain Phillips (which I thought was good) made my Top 10 of 2013.

I'll stick with Gravity, my #1 of 2013. Wolf is giving it a run for its money though.

I've seen them all, and to me Wolf of Wall Street and 12 Years a Slave are the only two I would say is of best picture calibre, with Wolf taking the edge for me slightly.

Without Llewyn Davis in there, gotta go with Gravity.

Haven't seen Nebraska or Philomena, but I doubt either of those are life changers.

Philomena is good, but Dench is more noteworthy than the film itself. Nebraska is wretched.

To be fair, that's the record of DVDTalker picks, not DVDTalker predictions.

I've only seen Gravity so I'll withhold my vote until I see more of the nominated films. I did really like Gravity though and won't be upset if it wins best picture. I don't think it will though.

Bumping to get more votes in.

Hoping for Gravity, but I expect to be disappointed.

Agree with this, although I haven't seen Philomena.

Re: Vote for your favorite Best Picture nominee (2014 Oscars)

I've seen all but The Wolf of Wall Street, and I won't have time to see it before the ceremony, so I'm locking in my vote now: American Hustle.

Personal favorite is American Hustle but "best" is 12 Years A Slave. But the question is favorite so AH it is.

12 Years is the best one, but I enjoyed the hell out of Wolf of Wall Street, so I picked that one.

12 Years a Slave

I'd rank them something like this...

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