"American Hustle", much like "Silver Linings Playbook" and "The Fighter", is very overrated.

Good movies, but this David Russell fella must be fellating every member of the Academy 'cause they aren't THAT good.

with that said, American Hustle will win Best Picture and Lawrence will win too.

Alfonso Cuaron deserves best director. I haven't seen American Hustle as of yet, but the Linings Playbook and The Fighter were a little overrated.

I've been reading a lot of negative things about American Hustle which is why I didn't see it in the theater.

I thought it was very good, and not at all predictable. I also enjoyed The Fighter though, so I'm apparently in a different category of movie watchers.

I think 12 Years a Slave has a decent chance of beating out American Hustle, at least for Best Picture. The Oscars tend to be suckers for shit like race-relations. Look at Crash.

edit- American Hustle was a great movie insofar as its characters were all well-acted and fun to watch.

The plot was paper-thin almost non-existent, but the directer himself stated before the film was released that he had no interest in the plot and wanted the audience to focus on the characters. So, yeah.

lulz.

Best film - 12 Years a Slave

Best actor - Ejiofor

Best actress - Blanchett

Best supporting actor - Jared Leto, though I'd love Fassbender to win.

Best supporting actress - Lupita Nyung'o

Best director - Alfonso Cuaron, though it should be McQueen.

Best original screenplay - Her or American Hustle

Adapted screenplay - 12 Years a Slave

That's what everyone has been saying.

I cannot stand movies with crap plots unless they movies were made specifically to have crap plots (like a parody).

The Fighter was a great movie. As for the Silver Linings Playbook, well, my sister has bi-polar. So it resonated for me.

The Fighter was a true story.....in Hollywood methods 😆

They were good movies, but not as amazing as advertised. That's my opinion at least.

I was a boxer years ago and my sister has bi-polar, maybe that's why I like those Films.

Film: 12 years a slave

Actor: Ejiofor (although I'd like to see Di Caprio finally get a best actor accolade as pretty much everything he's done in the past decade has been brilliant and he has always been overlooked. I just think this year he's up against too many other brilliant performances to win it)

Actress: Dench

Director: Cuaron

The

If Frozen doesn't win Best Animated, I'm killing myself.

For real this time.

I haven't seen the film, but I'm kinda taken aback that Jonah Hill is nominated.

Was he THAT good in The Wolf of Wall Street?

Not really. ****ing great movie though. Right up my street with regards to depraved humour.
