April 18, 20178 yr Author Wreck-It Ralph should've won tbh !!1 but Monsters Uni was my second preference, I loved it loads whereas with Frozen, I still love it but Anna is kinda annoying and it has a couple bad songs tbh imo :lol:
April 18, 20178 yr WTAF! Genuinely surprised at THAT win for Animated! :\ It's probably the weakest Pixar film (although it's not "bad"!) since 'Brave' for me (I've not seen 'Cars 2' xxx) and I didn't think it was that well liked on here... the baffling thing is, it won with 1st preference votes, it's not like it tied and got more 2nd preference votes! 'Wreck-It Ralph' definitely should've won and I would've accepted a 'Frozen' win too!
April 18, 20178 yr Author http://desalesminstrel.org/files/2013/11/Gravity-film-still-009.jpg BEST DIRECTOR 01. Gravity - Alfonso Cuarón (4,1) 02. 12 Years a Slave - Steve McQueen (3,1) 03. Her - Spike Jonze (2,2) 04. The Wolf of Wall Street - Martin Scorsese (1,1) 05. American Hustle - David O. Russell (0,3) This year was a fantastic year for film as shown by the exciting directors in this category, every one could be deserving of the win in other years but it was never going to be anyone else than Cuarón for his ambitious work on Gravity, one of the greatest special effects showcases ever. 12 Years a Slave continues its decent night with a second placing here which I wasn't expecting but as I said before, it's a story that really sticks with you for just how brutal it is. My personal pick here was for Spike Jonze who managed to create one of the most interesting films in years and the bottom two films are both a lot of fun, O. Russell really knows how to create a great ensemble *-*

April 18, 20178 yr Author http://img.cinemablend.com/cb/9/2/0/2/9/7/9202971c9d0b3c3b084a0dfb7d603b3800ed6379d4b0557d8252199d1d055747.jpg BEST FEMALE SUPPORTING PERFORMANCE 01. 12 Years A Slave - Lupita N'Yongo (4,1) 02. American Hustle - Jennifer Lawrence (2,2) 03. The Wolf of Wall Street - Margot Robbie (1,3) 04. The Heat - Sandra Bullock (1,0) 05. Her - Scarlett Johansson (0,2) Lupita wins this pretty easily with her moments in the film of raw emotion, you feel terrible for her character in every scene you see her in and she is a real scene-stealer too with her crying scenes. Jennifer Lawrence puts up a decent fight though and she's another massive scene-stealer, generally regarded as a huge highlight from American Hustle and she almost won her second Oscar with this role, I can't imagine she was far behind in the voting. Margot Robbie actually picks up a fair few votes but she was largely ignored from the actual awards season which is a shame. I'm actually quite shocked at Johansson coming last in this as everyone talks about how fantastic the role is and her voice work on it but I guess it is difficult to compare and justify having a voice role above physical acting roles.
April 18, 20178 yr A deserved win for that category! I would have been happy with any of them 5 winning though. All 5 were directed brilliantly.
April 18, 20178 yr Author BEST MALE SUPPORTING PERFORMANCE 01. Dallas Buyers Club - Jared Leto (4,2) 02. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Woody Harrelson (2,2) 03. Captain Phillips - Barkhad Abdi (2,1) 04. Prisoners - Jake Gyllenhaal (1,1) 04. 12 Years a Slave - Michael Fassbender (1,1) 06. American Hustle - Bradley Cooper (0,1) 07. American Hustle - Jeremy Renner (0,0) Quite a large number of nominees here and due to the amount of votes that Jared Leto got, I think a lot of these suffered by just not fitting in the top 2 preference votes despite still being great performances. Jared was an expected winner here but I was really shocked at Woody Harrelson coming second, I've never even put him as a cast highlight of the franchise, never mind a highlight of that entire year :o The poor American Hustle supporting actors don't do too well here and even Grant couldn't find a place to vote for Jeremy Renner, I think he'd have made a decent Oscar supporting actor nominee this year actually :o
April 18, 20178 yr Author http://images.contactmusic.com/images/feature-images/gravity-02-600-370.jpg BEST FEMALE LEAD PERFORMANCE 01. Gravity - Sandra Bullock (3,2) 02. American Hustle - Amy Adams (2,2) 03. Philomena - Judi Dench (2,0) 04. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Jennifer Lawrence (1,3) 05. About Time - Rachel McAdams (1,1) 05. Now You See Me - Isla Fisher (1,1) Gravity really did get loads of attention around its release and Sandra Bullock received rave reviews from it and even managed to get nominated for a sci-fi film which Amy Adams has since found out is a pretty difficult feat to achieve. Speaking of Adams, she comes in second here too (like her co-star Jennifer Lawrence achieved in the supporting category) but she seems to be a Buzzjack fave so I'm sure she might have a chance at winning in another year. Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher seemed like odd inclusions to me here so I'm not shocked to see them last here although I do agree that the latter was loads of fun and it's a shame she was replaced for the sequel :(
April 18, 20178 yr 'The Hunger Games' films are SO overrated on here. Like, ridiculously so. I don't even hate or dislike them, they're just popcorn filler for me, but I honestly don't see any award winning performances in them. So it feels strange to see them slay so much in these awards! Can't remember who I voted for, I think it was Jake and Michael. but I really can't argue with Jared in this. It was a fantastic performance.
April 18, 20178 yr Oops. Missed Supporting Actress, but the correct top 2! With Lupita absolutely wiping the floor with everyone else! Such a weak year for female lead performances, imo. Rachel McAdams was my favourite of them all, but Sandra was a close second.
April 18, 20178 yr Author http://img.cinemablend.com/quill/e/4/d/a/4/e/e4da4e9539bfe8904e1eb55997669d8a82c2bc40.jpg BEST MALE LEAD PERFORMANCE 01. The Wolf of Wall Street - Leonardo Di Caprio (3,1) 02. Her - Joaquin Phoenix (3,0) 03. 12 Years a Slave - Chiwetel Ejiofor (1,3) 04. Dallas Buyers Club - Matthew McConaughey (1,1) 05. Prisoners - Hugh Jackman (1,0) 06. About Time - Domnhall Gleeson (0,2) 07. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Josh Hutcherson (0,1) Poor Josh Hutcherson can't pull off a Woody Harrelson in this category and ends up coming dead last instead, he's always been overshadowed by Jennifer Lawrence so I was not expecting him to even be nominated here to be honest! It seems Buzzjack would have given Leo his Oscar the year before he got his real one though, I think The Wolf of Wall Street will really go down as one of his most iconic films and it seems to have a bit of something for everybody in it. Joaquin Phoenix was snubbed at the real Oscars but at least Buzzjack can appreciate a terrific performance when they see one :smoke:
April 18, 20178 yr Author Oops. Missed Supporting Actress, but the correct top 2! With Lupita absolutely wiping the floor with everyone else! Such a weak year for female lead performances, imo. Rachel McAdams was my favourite of them all, but Sandra was a close second. I thought it was a great year for females but Buzzjack just picked the wrong nominees for me!! It's this year here and Meryl and Cate definitely should've been here tbh :o I bet Emma Thompson was fab too!
April 18, 20178 yr Yasss Alfonso, Leonardo and Lupita! I think that makes Leo the first ever double winner at the Buzzjack Oscars! :o Shocked at Sandra winning considering she wasn't even top 4 in nominations but it is a well deserved win anyway! <3
April 18, 20178 yr Author BEST FILM 01. Gravity (3,1) 02. Her (3,0) 03. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2,1) 04. Frozen (1,0) 04. Wreck-It Ralph (1,0) 06. We're the Millers (0,3) 07. American Hustle (0,2) 08. Philomena (0,1) 08. Thor: The Dark World (0,1) It seems that the technical achievements in Gravity and the sheer awe you get when watching some scenes from the film were enough to secure the win here for it as it ends up winning its third award of the night in the final category. Her puts up another good fight but just falls short on second preferences, it's a shame it wasn't really in contention at the real Oscars despite a few nominations across the board (at least it won the Original Screenplay award which it REALLY deserved). I remember Philomena and Thor not picking up many votes last time either so they haven't gained any more lovers in recent years, I wonder if Ragnarok could be a nominee in next year's movie awards?!?
