I really quite enjoyed the first Maze Runner movie, it had a really interesting concept and never dragged imo. The second felt a lot more generic with the zombie thing additions so I'm hoping the third (whenever we end up getting it) is a bit better.

I've never particularly warmed to The Winter Soldier. I can only speak for myself but he's always come across as a bit of a dick character and I don't think Seb does a job that some other actors couldn't do with the role.

 

Emily Blunt is a GREAT choice there, would never have predicted her to win but she has so many great performances but I always forgot to mention her in that, she totally stole the show from Tom Cruise too! Yay at Keira Knightley picking up a fair few votes too, I was low-key expecting her to come last :lol: I love her and think she did a great job in that film but she's not the most diverse actress, bless :lol:

 

He was nearly killed fighting for his country, kindapped, experimented on, brainwashed into beocming a killer against his will and can remember all of the horrible things he's done/ Haunted by all this, even when he was "freed" he was still trapped and his own worst enemy.

 

Sebastian is a brilliant actor and having seen most of his work I can testify that he's one of the best at making you feel sympathy for his characters and can convey emotion without doing much at all, just a look can say more than he could with a whole page of dialogue.

04. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (1 / 1)

05. Wild (1 / 0)
08. Boyhood (0 / 2)
08. The Maze Runner (0 / 2)
10. Lucy (0 / 0)


Continuing on we have a three way-tie between three critically acclaimed films! Whiplash & Wild are two of my ultra faves of the year so I'm really glad they did well here & Still Alice also overperformed here compared to my expectations! All three films picked up one first preference vote!

And in 4th is a little bit of a shocker, I was definitely expecting The Winter Soldier to do better than this considering all the acclaim it gets on the site but it struggles in terms of 1st & 2nd preference votes and Civil War actually did better than it :o

GOTG v Gone Girl v X-Men

Didn't expect X-men to beat CA :o

BEST PICTURE

01. Gone Girl (4 / 1)
02. Guardians of the Galaxy (3 / 2)
03. X-Men: Days of Future Past (1 / 5)
04. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (1 / 1)
05. Still Alice (1 / 0)
05. Whiplash (1 / 0)
05. Wild (1 / 0)
08. Boyhood (0 / 2)
08. The Maze Runner (0 / 2)
10. Lucy (0 / 0)

And Gone Girl has done it :o The film has managed to pick up ALL of the elusive Big Five!!!!! Was definitely not expecting a sweep here when nominations went up due to the tightness in terms of amount of nominations but Gone Girl has done it! Fantastic masterpiece & I'm glad it is getting the appreciation it deserves on Buzzjack <3

Just behind it though with three 1st preference votes is Guardians of the Galaxy, the best superhero film of recent times & I would have been happy with that winning also! Fantastic & actually interesting film and the cast/script/soundtrack were all *.* <3

In 3rd place and doing way better than its successor did is Days of Future Past which may have only picked up one first preference vote but it took a massive five 2nd preference votes proving Buzzjack rly do like their superheroes! :o

soz about delay, got sidetracked with bjsc prep that I'm doing now!

GOTG is good but not the levels people raise it to here :lol:

 

DoFP is the best X-men movie yet :wub: especially with Daddy Shawn

Gone Girl is great so I am thrilled that won :cheer:

Glad that all three superhero movies did quite well there, I think I would rank them in that order too! And Still Alice/Whiplash exceeded my expectations too in these results.

 

Thanks for hosting, Sam!

Really pleased with that set of results. Agree with pretty much all the winners

As much as I ADORE 'Gone Girl', and I do, Ben Affleck didn't deserve to win over Eddie or Chris P, imo. The latter two were definitely a lot stronger were far more memorable performances than Ben. 'Gone Girl' was effectively Rosamund's film for me. She stole the show in every scene! So she was a worthy winner, but both her and Julianne's performances are two of my absolute favourite performances in a LONG time.

 

In Supporting Actor, I think I put Dan Stevens first, just because I really think his performance is underrated in 'The Guest'! But JK was my second choice, so he is a very deserving winner! Ethan Hawke deserved top 3 though. Yeah, over Sebastian! Thankfully Patricia didn't win here, like I expected her to! Emily is an unexpected winner, I mean she's good, but not really worth winning this one for that film! Keira and Kristen were my standout two in that batch, although it seemed a pretty weak year in general for that category! :o I think I forgot to nominate Scarlett for her role as Black Widow in CA:WS. I really think that's the movie that elevated her character to the next level!

 

Will Arnett completely deserved that award. One of my favourite Batman's! I would've been happy to vote just for him though as that category was also fairly weak by it's usual standards! Can't argue with the top 2 for Best Director and Best Script. Although I think I would've given CA:WS the edge for Script! :o So yeah, I am the "1" in 'Gone Girl's 6 / 1 !

 

Best song. What a dreadfully dire year for movie songs! I literally only liked 'Everything Is Awesome' (and even then, that's only because of the context it's used in, in the film!) The other songs are all mehhhhh to me </3

 

Thanks for doing this UV. I'm sorry I wasn't here last night!
