Die wichtigsten Kritikerawards sind inzwischen vergeben und die Golden Globe Nominierungen sind ebenfalls erschienen! Der Ein oder Andere kann sich daher berechtigte Hoffnungen auf eine Oscarnominierung beziehungsweise auch auf den Oscar an sich machen. Die Frontrunner habe ich hier einmal aufgelistet:

Best Picture

A Most Violent Year (National Board of Review)
Birdman (Kansas City Film Critics Circle)
Birdman (Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Assocation)
Birdman (Phoenix Film Critics)
Birdman (Utah Film Critics Association)
Birdman (Las Vegas Film Critics Association)
Birdman (Florida Film Critics)
Boyhood (New York Film Critics Circle)
Boyhood (Boston Society of Film Critics)
Boyhood (New York Film Critics Online)
Boyhood (LA Film Critics)
Boyhood (Washington DC Critics)
Boyhood (San Franciso Film Critics Circle)
Boyhood (Indiana Film Journalists Assocation)
Boyhood (St. Louis Film Critics)
Boyhood (Detroit Film Critics)
Boyhood (Chicago Film Critics)
Boyhood (Toronto Film Critics)
Boyhood (Austin Film Critics)
Gone Girl (Nevada Film Critics)
The Grand Budapest Hotel (Online Film Critics Society)
The Grand Budapest Hotel (Southeastern Film Critics Association)
Nightcrawler (San Diego Film Critics)
Selma (African-American Film Critics Association)
Snowpiercer (Boston Online Film Critics)

Oscarrennen: Boyhood vs. Birdman mit Außenseiterchancen von Selma

Meine Prognose:

Boyhood is the Film to beat! Da ich ihn großartig fand, habe ich kein Problem damit, wenn er auch gewinnt. Wegen seiner „Wichtigkeit“ kann ich mir nur „Selma“ als einzigen Film vorstellen, der „Boyhood“ noch schlagen könnte, aber das scheint sehr ungewiss.

Best Director

Clint Eastwood – American Sniper (National Board of Review)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu – Birdman (Boston Online Film Critics)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu – Birdman (Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Assocation)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu – Birdman (St. Louis Film Critics)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu – Birdman (Utah Film Critics Association)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu – Birdman (Las Vegas Film Critics Association)
Richard Linklater – Boyhoood (New York Film Critics Circle)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Boston Society of Film Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (New York Film Critics Online)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (LA Film Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Washington DC Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Kansas City Film Critics Circle)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (San Franciso Film Critics Circle)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Online Film Critics Society)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Indiana Film Journalists Assocation)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Detroit Film Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Chicago Film Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Toronto Film Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Phoenix Film Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Austin Film Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Florida Film Critics)
Richard Linklater – Boyhood (Southeastern Film Critics Association)
Dan Gilroy – Nightcrawler (San Diego Film Critics)
Dan Gilroy – Nightcrawler (Nevada Film Critics)
Ava DuVernay – Selma (African-American Film Critics Association)

Oscarrennen: Richard Linklater (Boyhood) vs. Alejandro Gonzelez Inarritu (Birdman)

Meine Prognose:

Man wird Richard Linklater – Boyhood für sein 12Jahre andauerndes Projekt würdigen wollen. Höchstwahrscheinlich in Regie, mind. aber mit dem Drehbuchpreis. Zudem gewann letztes Jahr mit Cuarón schon ein Mexikaner den Regiepreis.

Best Actor

Michael Keaton – Birdman (Detroit Film Critics)
Michael Keaton – Birdman (Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Assocation)
Michael Keaton – Birdman (Online Film Critics Society)
Michael Keaton – Birdman (San Francisco Film Critics Circle)

Jake Gyllenhaal – Nightcrawler (Nevada Film Critics)
David Oyelowo – Selma (African-American Film Critics Association)
Eddie Redmayne – The Theory of Everything (New York Film Critics Online)
Timothy Spall – Mr. Turner (New York Film Critics Circle)

Oscarrennen: Michael Keaton (Birdman) vs. Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything)

Meine Prognose:

Michael Keaton scheintd as Ding in der Tasche zu haben, ich denke aber das Redmayne sich den Drama Globe schnappt und dann in einem Herzschlagfinale a la Daniel Day-Lewis (mein linker Fuß) dann siegen könnte. Interessant wird ob Gyllenhaal nach dem Kritikerzuspruch nominiert wird. Ich hoffe, nur für wen? Steve Carrell?

Reese Witherspoon – Wild (Indiana Film Journalists Assocation)
Reese Witherspoon – Wild (Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Assocation)

Oscarrennen: Julianne Moore (Still Alice) vs. Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl)

Meine Prognose:

J.K. Simmons – Whiplash (African-American Film Critics Association) (tie)
Tyler Perry – Gone Girl (African-American Film Critics Association) (tie)

Oscarrennen: J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) vs. Edward Norton (Birdman)

Meine Prognose:

J.K. Simmons ist klarer Frontrunner, auch wenn Norton schon für Zwielicht und/oder American History X hätte ausgezeichnet werden müssen!

Oscarrennen: Gibt es da wirklich ein Rennen? Denke Arquette hat das Ding im Sack! 😉

Meine Prognose:

Patricia Arquette (Boyhood) all the Way! Nominierungen für Chastain, Russo und Swinton wären wünschenswert!
