Runner up:Sean Penn
24)Best Motion Picture of the Year: Slumdog Millionaire

Am editat doua categorii. Cum nu mai pot face nicio editare ulterioara,I'm hoping for the best :)

Interesant.Predictiile astea se fac pana pe 22?Mai e ceva timp.

Declar deschisa Agentia de pariuri/preconizari Oscar 2009!
Din acest moment, pana pe 20 februarie, ora 18, putem posta aici predictiile noastre, la toate cele 24 de categorii. Cei care au postat deja intra automat in concurs, sau pot reveni asupra preconizarilor facute, o singura data. Orice editare ulterioara a predictiilor descalifica respectivul forumist. Sunt puse la bataie peste 50 de DVD-uri, filmele fiind oferite de EmpireDistribution.
Orice postare cu predictii postata dupa ora 18 a zilei de vineri, 20 februarie, nu se va lua in considerare. Nu se vor lua in considerare nici topurile partiale; predictiile trebuie facute la toate cele 24 de categorii.
Forumistii care vor face predictii corecte la minim 20 de categorii sunt castigatorii a 10 DVD-uri. Castigatorii ii vom afla, evident, in noaptea de duminica spre luni, pe parcursul decernarii Oscarurilor.
Cei care "nimeresc" intre 15-19 categorii castiga 7 DVD-uri cu filme, cei care au facut predictii corecte la minim 10, maximum 14 categorii primesc automat 3 DVD-uri, iar cate un DVD se va da celor care au preconinzat corect 8 sau 9 categorii. Cate un afis de film se va da celor cu minim 5, 6 sau 7 categorii preconizate corect.

Pana acum vad ca au pus predictiile numai buticut, corinka si suspect de bizar. Ei sunt singurii care isi pot edita clasamentul, intrucat au postat inainte de lansarea concursului cu premii.
In rest, discutiile despre nominalizari si predictii pot continua tot in acest topic, nu este dedicat exclusiv pariorilor :D

Slumdog millionar/Vagabondul milionar n-are ºansã.O sã se repete faza de anu trecut.La BAFTA Normal cã Vagabondul... o câºtigat,îi film britanic,ºi Globu,nu ºtiu de ce,din acelaºi motiv pt. care anul tecut Atonament/Remuºcare a câºtigat în faþa lui No country for old men/Nu existã þarã pentru bãtrâni bãnuiesc.

PS:Printre DVD-uri,se numãrã Pulp Fiction? :?

Le bag si eu. Le-am vazut pe toate (de la categoriile importante). Parerea imi este formata...am sa pun ce vreau eu sa castige, nu ceea ce cred ca o sa castige. Asa e cel mai corect, parerea mea.

Io aº propune sã se stickuiascã topicu'.

Pfoai ce ma enerveaza,tot ca vizitator postez :lol:

Nu ca ma gandesc deja la castig :P,dar mi-ar placea sa stiu doar din curiozitate ce titluri se pun la bataie. Eu am un wishlist pus deoparte,ar fi misto sa se regaseasca cateva din titlurile dorite printre cele oferite :)...ma gandesc ca nimeresc si eu destule cat sa castig 1 DVD macar...

De la Empire,Pacientul englez,Good Will Hunting,Pulp FictionPoveste din Bronx,Carlito,Închisoarea îngerilor ºi altele îs în colecþia noua colecþie lansatã.

Btw,nu scapati din vedere amanuntul asta:

Am intrat pe site-ul http://www.empirefilm.ro/dvd-ro.htm . Au oferta destul de buna :D.

Not sure about Slumdog Millionaire for Best Picture. Pe de-o parte, a castigat la BAFTA si poate tocmai asta e problema,ca nu ar fi trebuit sa castige,de obicei premiindu-se filmele British pentru ca...Academia nu o va face.

Nici statistica nu e prea buna:

"From 1968 to 1991, the BAFTA award for best British film was eliminated, but at least one British production contended for best picture every year but 1979. In those 24 years, seven British films won the best picture prize — "Sunday Bloody Sunday"(1971); "Chariots of Fire" (1981, also best picture Oscar); "Gandhi" (1982, also best picture Oscar); "Educating Rita" (1983); "The Killing Fields" (1984); "A Room With A View" (1986); and "The Commitments" (1991). Perhaps because that last film, a light-hearted romp about a budding band in Dublin, beat both "Dances With Wolves" and "The Silence of the Lambs," BAFTA reintroduced the British film award the following year."

Dar risc totusi cu Slumdog-ul,pe principiul ca poate Academia vrea sa mai schimbe macazul si sa premieze un film mai lighthearted cu care sa ii multumeasca pe toti. Vezi:
2008 - No Country For Old Men
2007 - The Departed
2006 - Crash

Ca audienta,cred ca va fi peste cea de anul trecut,desi a pierdut prin lipsa lui The Dark Knight de la Best Picture (la care ma asteptam,de altfel,nu m-ar mira ca printr-o forma de "protest" fanii TDK sa nu se uite deloc la premii). Totusi,audienta nu va fi cu mult peste, pentru ca Academia nominalizeaza filme pe care putini le-au vazut la categorii importante...


Am facut un top in ordine descrescatoare a incasarilor worldwide a filmelor nominalizate :):
$999,081,085 - The Dark Knight
$631,908,951 - Kung Fu Panda

$341,167,543 - Wanted
$220,051,688 - Bolt
$195,261,716 - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - evident cu Brad Pitt pe afis au reusit sa stranga o suma considerabila,dar luand in considerare bugetul imens,de abia il acopera
$191,572,090 - Australia
$188,056,525 - Tropic Thunder
$160,082,925 - Hellboy II: The Golden Army
$129,547,783 - Slumdog Millionaire (care inca nu a fost lansat in multe tari)

$15,257,271 - The Visitor
$13,008,040 - Rachel Getting Married

Ce o sa ajute la cresterea ratingului:
- Nominalizarea lui Heath Ledger
- Hugh Jackman ca prezentator (Chicks dig 'the sexiest man alive' :lol: ),cu mentiunea ca sper sa faca glume bune,pacat doar ca nu va face pe seama lui Nicole Kidman,i-a promis :P.
- Identitatea ascunsa a celor care vor inmana premiile

Sa-mi incerc si eu norocul.
