MindCrime Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I can't believe Interstellar was snubbed for a Best Picture nomination. The only one I've seen so far is Birdman, but I plan to watch Whiplash soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I have not seen any of those movies. I may play, but will be a total guess for all of those categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Okay, so I've seen Boyhood, it is truly an amazing film, never seen anything like it before, most likely will never see anything like it again (in my lifetime), is it oscar worthy? well, if anything is, it qualifies on a number of levels IMHO. It's my pick. But Birdman will probably win though.

CanAm Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've only seen 2 of the nominated movies, The Imitation Game and The Grand Budapest Hotel. I would like to see Interstellar and The Theory Of Everything. Most of my predictions are uneducated guesses since I haven't seen too many nominated movies or performances.

Mike Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The winning name is in an envelope. As a child of four can plainly see, this envelopes has been hermetically sealed. It's been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's back porch since noon yesterday. No one knows the contents of this envelope. Not even me.
