7. Academy Award

It is a tough season this year. I saw almost every nominated film except Nebraska (so far). I think most of them have been very good. "Philomena" was the best. "American Hustle" was good. "The Wolf of Wall Street" was entertaining but a lot of it was unnecessary…could have cut 45 minutes easy. "Gravity" was a bore (I know probably the only one who thinks this). "Her" was thought provoking but weird in a good way. "August: Osage County" was pretty good. "Captain Phillips" was good. "Dallas Buyers Club" was very entertaining and good. "12 years a slave" INCREDIBLE! I thought that "Saving Mr. Banks" was robbed. I thought that "The Butler" was NOT robbed….I thought that was a disappointment. I imagine that Jennifer Lawrence will win Supporting and Amy Adams or Cate Blanchet will win Lead Actress.

Did you read the reviews of it in the Movie Group? siligut Feb 2014 #8
I thought the acting was great, but I thought the dialog was lackluster. PassingFair Feb 2014 #9
