Hmm, proffessor prof's first topic on NL. Front page things jareh.

Nice thread.

Prof, you missed the first critic award : New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC) awards that held Dec 3. And it's given more consideration than the National Board of Review (NBR) award sef.

These were the winners:

Best Picture: AMERICAN HUSTLE (Many expected either '12 years a Slave' or 'Gravity' to clinch this...lol)

Best Director: STEVE MCQUEEN ( DIRECTOR OF '12 YEARS A SLAVE)

Best Actor: ROBERT REDFORD (ALL IS LOST)

Best Actress: CATE BLANCHETT (BLUE JASMINE)

Best Supporting Actor: JARED LETO (DALLAS BUYERS' CLUB)

Best Supporting Actress: JENNIFER LAWRENCE (AMERICAN HUSTLE)

Best Screenplay: ERIC SINGER AND DAVID O RUSSELL AMERICAN HUSTLE

Best Cinematography: INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS ( I thought it would be GRAVITY though)

Best First film: FRUITVALE STATION

By the way, 'HER' won the best picture at the National Board of Review awards yesterday. Quite ridiculous considering other contenders but it's an excellent film nonetheless.

Also include the Los Angeles Film Critics Award (LAFC) that holds December 8. It's a major award that may shift the oscar race as much as the NYFCC as slightly done.

I am watching at this race closely...catching my fun

They might just spread all these awards over the season...I was thinking 12 years a slave will sweep a lot but then again, all these films just have good claims for themselves. They should show love to Prisoners too(maybe they'll get SAG recognition sha)
Cate Blanchett has best actress lockdown compared to others I've seen, she was just too good in Blue jasmine.
Sholay, you seen Dallas Buyers club? I really wanna know if it's worth the hype.

Yeah Sholay, thanks for adding NYFCC..quite a worthy award.

@chromatic are you saying Cate Blanchett has the best performance this year?
What of Sandra Bullock as Dr. Ryan Stone in the Movie 'Gravity'?

.

You seem to be quite current with how tinz dey go for dis awards race.

I haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club but wiv the preview I saw...it's really on point wiv some 'Oscar-y' performances, especially Matthew McConaughey (he lost many pounds for this role of an HIV-positive man or smth and was almost unrecognisable) and Jared Leto (who played a transvetite I think. He had to shave every hair on his body and lose about 30 pounds to get into character. Imagine...dis white ppl sef).

Hmm...Oga Prof...have you watched 'Blue Jasmine'? Cate Blanchett's performance has no serious competition this year oh. It was of another cadre.

Sandra Bullock gave a career best in 'Gravity' which was phenomenal but there are some performances that are equally as excellent:

Emma Thompson in 'Saving Mr Banks'
Judu Dench in 'Philomena'
Adele Exarchopolous in 'Blue is the warmest colour'
Jennifer lawrence in 'Hunger games : Catching Fire'.

But none of these performances are at par with that of Cate Blanchett.

Btw, include the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards that holds Dec 8 in your post. This is the second tym I'm suggesting it sir.

^^^^
I order to avoid being flogged by sholay, I have added the LAFCA...
The Race is on!

Sounds interesting, checked the trailer for Dallas buyers club: I'm gonna watch it definitely...
Prof, I love Sandra and she was fucking good in gravity but amongst these female leads I've seen so far: Cate blew me away, more like a powerhouse performance even better than her Elizabeth performance. I'm yet to see Judi Dench (Philomena) and I know Meryl streep will come in later when Osage is released.
I love that Blue is the warmest colour film. It's been an indie year for me anyways.

I can't believe this is your first thread though. O ga o.
