12 is definitely disturbing and graphically violent. But that's the point. Duh.

Still need to see Philomena, only Best Picture nominee I have yet to see.

I hope to see American Hustle win big, it has in other awards ceremonies and the sweet tears of hatred were delicious.

Hope Dirty Wars wins Best Documentary though I see it as a long shot, love Jeremy Scahill and hope he gets some love from the Academy as well.

4 of those movies are now at the second run theaters, Capt. Phillips, Gravity, Nebraska, Philomena. So if you don't want to shell out $40 see Capt. Phillips or Gravity I'd recommend that alternative.

Hilarious article on Deadspin: The 2014 Hater's Guide To The Oscars

Mr. Cinema

I'm still picking a split with 12 Years wining Picture and Cuaron taking Director. But I have this bad feeling that Gravity is going to end up winning Picture on Sunday night. It's the safe pick.

THR is publishing five "honest ballots" from Academy voters leading up to Sunday. Can't link it now but they're on number three now, and it's interesting. There is one asshole who dismisses the animation category altogether, and a few of them abstained from fields they didn't understand.

That was funny.

Mondo Kane

Indeed. Quite a valid point about 12YAS not winning. And I'm actually very scared to see Nebraska all of a sudden.

Crocker Jarmen

Nebraska has a very bad beginning, I almost gave up on it but it got its shit together and wound up being very entertaining and engaging. (Note: I am not some New York elite like the article accuses, entertained by "real Americans". I wasn't laughing at these people nor did I felt superior to them).

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the day AMC is doing all 9 Best Picture nominee marathon.

bluetoast

Good stuff, especially the part about Jennifer Lawrence.

Drexl

It would be cool if Deadspin had bought a ballot like for the Baseball HOF, provided they could find someone who was tired of it and wouldn't mind having it stripped in the future.

Tarantino

Anyone know if this is going to be streaming anywhere?

on the watch abc app. You will need a valid cable subscription. So if you 'cut the cord' your screwed

If Leo wins, my night/year is made. My full predictions here:

Crocker Jarmen

I understand what he is saying. Comments from people prepared me for a different level of violence in 12 Years A Slave. I was expecting constant blood and brutality on the level of Schindler's List or Passion of the Christ. The horror and violence in 12 Years effects the viewer on an emotional and spiritual level.

Like, didn't Armond White criticize the movie for being "torture porn"? Other than one scene I wouldn't call the violence "graphic".

Drexl

That's bizarre that you need a cable subscription to watch a free network show via streaming. I guess they were paid by the cable companies to do it, but why not sell it on its own for $5-10?

Brack

Why do you need to see a stream of this? It's on broadcast television.

Rypro 525

if you happen to not be home. or have like a work viewing party on an ipad

Groucho

Worst viewing party ever.

Tarantino

I don't have cable.

TomOpus

Have you tried an OTA antenna? I know someone who lives out in the boonies and can't get cable. They use satellite on all tvs but one that's not used often. They use an antenna and the HD looks really good.
