Pre Oscar Nominations

The 86th Oscar nominations are tomorrow morning (1-16-14), so technically today. With the Golden Globes last Sunday it gave us a pretty good idea of what maybe nominated in only a few hours (730am central time). I will be one of those people who will wake up early in anticipation to watch them. Yes to some 730 am isn't all that early. But hell most of the time the earliest I work is 10am anything before 9am to me, is early. Luckily I don't have to work till 1 in the afternoon tomorrow so I can take a nap after if needed. But I will probably be to amped over everything. A real life question about all this Oscar stuff is, should I have a viewing party or not of the actual Oscars? Below this paragraph is a few of my predictions for tomorrow. A lot of this is just speculation from things I'v heard in reviews and interviews, podcasts and that stuff. I haven't watched a few of these movies yet.

I would really like to see Bruce Dern get a lead actor nomination for Nebraska. To be honest I don't think Tom Hanks should really get a nomination. Lets get for real, its only for the last five minuets of Captain Phillips and that is not how the Academy should be nominated people. But they might think the same way I feel and I bet a lot of other people feel.

It would also be cool to see Louis Ck get a supporting nomination for American Hustle. He wasn't in it a whole lot but when he was I thought it was fantastic. If anyone is going to get a supporting nomination for Hustle though it will be Bradley Cooper.

If Scarlett Johansson gets a nomination I'm going to shit bricks. She has received a few critics choice nomination which is awesome. A nomination for only a voice actor would really pave the way for people like Andy Serkis a CGI actor to hopefully start getting nomination. Even though it should be the other way around.

Another actor getting critic nominations and awards that would be cool to see get a nomination is James Franco in Spring Breakers. I wouldn't be made if that movie got any nominations at all. However a movie that I would like to see not only get a lot of nomination but even win a lot of awards is Mud. That was my favorite movie that came out in 2014 it was amazing 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, McConuaghey was brilliant, Tye Sheridan did such a stand up job, writing was amazing. The only problem with Mud was it came out to early. It lost a lot of its buzz way before the award season even started which is so tragic.

Well those are my thoughts and picks on tomorrows Oscar nominations. Lets see how wrong I will be, OR right maybe?

ps, I'm sorta super tired so unfortunately, I don't really feel like proof reading. Im sorry if there are a lot of writing screw ups. I would work on it a little more but Iv been busy with other stuff than trying to put together my picks for the oscars. Please don't hate me and come on back.
