Academy Awards

As you guys probably know, the Academy Awards are coming up on February 22nd. The list of nominations has already been released. Much speculation and controversy has arisen as people debate about who got snubbed and who does or doesn't deserve an Oscar. I don't know if any of you watch the Academy Awards but below is a list of the nominations for Best Picture and a few of their trailers. I have only seen one of the movies listed below so I can't really say which movie deserves the award.

Are any of you planning on watching the Academy Awards? If so, who do you think deserves an Oscar? Or maybe you don't really care and think that it's just a waste of time. Share your thoughts in the comments.

- "Whiplash"
- "American Sniper"
- "Birdman"
- "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
- "The Imitation Game"
- "Selma"
- "The Theory of Everything"
- "Boyhood"

  1. I haven't seen any of these movies, but judging from what I've seen from these trailers and heard from others, they all look really, really good!! It'll be interesting to see which one wins. Even though I don't watch the Academy Awards, I'm really curious now. :)

  2. I watched The Theory of Everything!!!! I almost cried, it is so sad. My favorite quote from the move was at the end that said " while there is life there is hope" I just love that quote so much! The movie was so good, I would recommend it to everyone, it is romantic and funny. Perfect for Valentines Day! :)

  5. Wow! Like Lindsey said, I haven't seen any of these movies either. But I thoroughly enjoyed each one of their trailers. They each look riveting. I'm thrilled because I don't usually have the best selection of movies to watch; these will be wonderful additions to my list! Thanks for sharing!

  6. I have seen The Theory of Everything and I thought it was a great movie. Selma and The Imitation Game both look awesome as well. I am excited for the Oscars since we watch them every year with my family. Also, I can't wait for Selma and The Imitation Game to come to Guate, but maybe they already came and I haven't noticed..

  7. I want to see boyhood so much it. They have been filming that movie the actors whole life and its fascinating to see a young boy transition into stages in his life. A theory of everything is a good movie as well, its romantic how someone will stick with you even if you are dealing with difficulty. I am so excited to watch all the movies.

  8. All these movies look really good. I bet I am going to enjoy watching the ones that I haven't watched. And the ones that I have deserve whatever award they are thinking of giving them.

  10. The imitation game looks so intriguing. I am drawn to movies that are happen during the WW2. I love math as well. So, I will definitely enjoy this movie! I am really excited to watch it. Now, The Theory of Everything looks interesting, but I do not like Stephen Hawking's theories so I am pretty sure I will not watch it. Selma looks really good too. My heart sank just by watching the trailer, so I cannot imagine how I will feel after I watch the movie. I like Martin Luther King and I really would like to watch that movie!

  12. I have never watched any of these movies. But I heard that Boyhood and American Sniper are very good. I should watch it someday. All the trailers look amazing and it makes me want to watch the movie. I think it is well made since they are selected as nominations. Even though I have no time to watch the Academy Awards, I guess it would be good.

  13. The Imitation Game looks like a good movie.To be honest they looked kinda boring but when I started watching the trailers I had a completely different opinion on them. Very interesting!

  14. I haven't watched any of the movies either, but after watching the trailers they all look really good. In my opinion, out of those three, the theory of everything deserves an oscar because it's the one that moved me the most and it must have required a better make up and acting to do the illnesses. Still, they all seem like great movies.

  15. Honestly, Leonardo Di Caprio should win an oscar. Leonardo is one of the best actors alive and he is not getting the recognition that he worked so hard for. Leonardo is the best actor and when he does a movie he puts all of his effort into his movies and I admire that

  16. I personally think that the steven hawking movie is going to be great! His story is very sad and inspiring. His story has showed me that no matter how hard life gets, you can always get through it. I can't wait to see it!

  20. I'm afraid that I didn't watch any of the movies. :/ I knew I don't like to watch movies. I didn't know I didn't watch this much. I thought I watched pretty often. But some of the things looks very interesting.

  22. I watched the Imitation Game and it was pretty interesting and fun. Probably one of the best movies I've ever watched. Alan Turing (the main character) was a really successful man.
