Normally, I would
have posted this right after the actual ceremony, but well, I have a semblance
of a life nowadays. Plus, part of me
wanted to see a bunch of the nominated films before I just sit here and
complain about why they won. For the
record, I have yet to see 12 Years a
Slave, American Hustle,
Dallas Buyer’s Club, Frozen, Her, Philomena, The Wolf of Wall Street, August: Osage County, and Saving Mr. Banks, but I plan on it. If only to complain about them. Oh, and since this thing took forever to put together, I forwent the pictures.
As is a yearly
tradition; here’s the way that I thought the Academy Awards should have
gone. That is, if I were in charge of
nominating/choosing. One day, when I’m
ruler of the world, I will be.
As usual, I’ve
left out a few categories like documentary and short film, but who really cares
about those anyways? Again, this year,
I’ve included a “My reasoning” section for each category – and don’t worry, not
all of them are fawning over the films I felt were standouts. Again, this year is my “Prediction/Actual
Winner/Should Have Won” section. “Should
Have Won” only applies to films that were nominated and should have won but
were not in my list. Oh, and I worked on
the formatting and revised the “→←”
to indicate which film I would have chosen.
Enjoy! (After the break, of
course…)
