Clooney is one of those actors that is a perfect fit for indie film. I agree, Clooney may be up for grabs for another well deserved Oscar nod.

I would be thrilled if JGL somehow got a nomination, but I think that Clooney is just too powerful in Hollywood for this film to miss.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-42435565916237189542011-11-27T11:47:41.954-08:002011-11-27T11:47:41.954-08:00I just saw this movie yesterday and thought it was...I just saw this movie yesterday and thought it was good, but not great.

I think Woodley is safe for the nom, and I'll also be moving Forster up a bit too on the theory that it might sweep with the nominations, and he's the next likeliest candidate.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-18057124305990090492011-11-23T15:55:32.976-08:002011-11-23T15:55:32.976-08:00Just saw this film today, I thought it was good bu...Just saw this film today, I thought it was good but nothing great (and certainly not Best Picture worthy). I did really enjoy Shailene Woodley's performance though and I hope she gets nominated and possibly win the Oscar (although Octavia Spencer is still out in front there).<br /><br />I think the film will get the 5 nominations you mentioned and in a weak field like this year Robert Forster stands a very good chance of getting nominated.Ryan Fernandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849610480857698067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-76828132413232157302011-11-22T14:41:10.739-08:002011-11-22T14:41:10.739-08:00Thanks Castor.

But I guess they are hoping that a slow roll out will build Oscar buzz and keep the film in the conversation longer. I'm sure it will come to your area, and just hope that it does so soon!NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-91342154634711332672011-11-22T12:45:15.192-08:002011-11-22T12:45:15.192-08:00Glad you liked this movie.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this soon although I'm waiting for it to get a wider release so I don't have to drive 20 miles to see it.Castorhttp://www.anomalousmaterial.com/noreply@blogger.com
