My my my has the Oscar landscape shifted in the two weeks since I last updated my Oscar predictions. The race is really starting to take shape and it looks like it will be an exciting few months as films vying for the crown. Let’s dig into the predictions then, shall we?
Can you believe that we are just two months from 2014? The new year seemed so long ago like two weeks ago but now here we are about to be done with the year. Which of course means now is ripe for a new set of Oscar Predictions! I will be attending AFI Fest on behalf of AwardsCircuit.com, which I may have spoken about (idk really it’s been a rough past two weeks). Anyways there has been a lot of jostling and jockeying in the past few weeks.
Twitter and Facebook have been places of intense discussion for the past several days, most of it revolving around the George Zimmerman verdict and Cory Monteith’s death. But there’s been just as much discussion regarding Pacific Rim‘s box office and whether the third place finish signals death of new material. Also on the Twitter is convos surrounding Crystal Fairy, a movie I loathed out of Sundance. I initially hadn’t planned on commenting on Pacific Rim or Crystal Fairy (cause I’d love to forget about the latter) but after seeing two people I respect and am friendly with advocate for these films, I had to share my opinion.
I’m too tired to give this film a full review right now so here’s the best thing I can do. Review: Pacific Rim = (Transformers + Godzilla x a million fanboy orgasms/ Charlie hunnam’s shitty acting) x REALLY LOUD NOISES Good 3D tho
