Based in Silicon Valley, Tesla Motors is proof that American ingenuity can take the environment into consideration. The electric-powered Model S sedan is emissions-free, though it still packs an almighty punch when you hit the gas pedal. This is one of the quickest luxury sedans on the market, and the surge of acceleration is even more impressive since the Model S operates in near-total silence. Driving range is estimated at about 300 miles and Tesla is hard at work installing quick-charge stations across the U.S.

No Best Actor nomination for Bruce Dern in “Nebraska”.
^^ The trailer is not very exciting and his role looks like a snore.
This was a surprise: Isaiah Washington in Blue Caprice The movie got very very good reviews. But wasn’t seen, it didn’t even drop in Chicago.
Clearly you and I live on different planets because after Brokeback Mountain I don’t see how there is anything sacred about “gay rights/homophobia” amongst Academy members.
Well OK , PHILIDELPHIA didn’t get nominated as it was a very competitive year with such movies as Schindlers list , Remains of the day , Shadowlands , In the name of the father , six degrees of separation etc……but Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen won Oscars for it …and then there was AND THE BAND PLAYED ON which won 3 Emmys .
..and let’s not forget that it was 20 years ago and society is now more liberal , chilled out and receptive than it was then
Aids awareness comes under the sacred cause of ”gay rights/homophobia ” in a similar way that slavery comes under the sacred cause of ”Racism ”…. and while it’s true that Brokeback mountain didn’t win a best picture Oscar , but that’s hardly surprising as it was iconoclast to Hollywood’s traditional and classic hero , the American Cowboy
AIDS has never been a force in the Oscars. No AIDS themed film has ever gotten a BP nom, and I can only think of two characters with AIDS that ever got nominated for a performance (Bruce Davison and Tom Hanks) OF course I could be wrong with my recollections, and if I am feel free to correct me. And only one Documentary Feature (Common Threads) won of the many AIDS themed docs nominated over the years.
GRAVITY is the kind of movie that will appeal to young folks with it’s oooh aarhh special effects and puerile dialogue and shouldn’t be taken serious by adults …far out dude ? ……it’s not the type of movie that can , or should ,be in serious competition with 12 YRS as it lacks all gravitas and has no moral , emotional core or message …it is , like Rex Reed wrote , a popcorn type movie that is just light entertainment and shouldn’t be taken for anything else
Even if 12 Yrs had not been in the race it wouldn’t deserve to win
EIJIOFOR is the favourite in the Best Actor race with good reason as he’s riding the wave of success of 12 YRS…..however , it’s far from a ”sure thing ”as Redford or MCconaughey could very well win …sure , they don’t have the momentum of an Oscar nominated movie behind them , but Redford is an aging Hollywood icon who stars in a movie that may well of been from the silent era where the actors must express themselves through facial expressions and body posturing /language
Mcconaughey , as an Aids victim , has explosive contemporary relevance and is in fact one of Hollywood’s ”sacred causes ”that they promote with almost crusading zeal …let’s face it , most of the Academy voters will know someone personally who is living with Aids or who has died of it, and as such , will look upon his performance in a very sympathetic way ….but will the sacred cause of Aids overcome the sacred cause of ”Racism” ?…that ,remains to be seen , and after all , Hollywood is where Leftist politics meets showbiz !
I see that LUPITA NYONGO is now the favourite to win BSA …unfortunately I suspect that this is a” false dawn ”….OK, it’s a good, even atmospheric, performance , but she aint in the movie very long and she’s a young , little known actress , straight out of acting school in her first movie ….her only competitor is none other than the most iconic and influential woman in America , OPRAH , staring in a Civil Rights themed movie …let’s face it ,when it comes to campaigning for the Oscar , she knows an awful lot of folks in the entertainment business and exactly how many folks does NYONGO know …those Academy voters are not going to ignore a celebrity , an icon and a black woman such as Oprah for a young actress they’ve never even heard of before
Denmark’s THE HUNT will win this seasons Foreign Film race …..part of the reason is that it has contemporary relevance as paranoid and hysterical accusations of ”Child Abuse ” are very much in the zeitgeist and are merely the modern version of the 16th century ”Thou shalt not suffer a Witch to live ”, ….or ”I always knew she was a Witch , she has a black cat , a broom in the cupboard and crosses herself in the wrong direction …so that just proves it !”
Back then , as now , part of the problem was projection ; quite often the most vocal accusers were the folks who subconsciously suspected that they were infact a ”Witch ” and thus had to project their fears and suspicions onto others
Naturally , the modern day version doesn’t result in Witches being burnt at the stake , but it does sully , cloud and tarnish a person’s good name and character
From Ty Burr’s review in the Boston Globe.
“12 Years a Slave” makes that film (Django Unchained) look like the work of a posturing brat — may even make you ashamed of having enjoyed The issue here isn’t white guilt (a cheap enough commodity) but the act of fully confronting the specifics of what we as a nation did to a people we brought here by force. Only then can we even begin to have an honest conversation about where to go from there. So don’t look away, this movie insists with measured, artful fury. Don’t dare look away
Let me echo Mattoc’s sentiments about the reply button
—————–OT—————–
Just saw THE PAST. Some of the year’s standout performances performances, especially Tahar Rahim is unforgettable. I’m not sure whether Farhadi achieved uniformity in the way he approached scenes –definitely felt the interior ones worked better. Loved the late-Suschitzkian use of light (minus the nasty angles, additionally I’m sure these weren’t sets so it was mostly source/natural). The hilarious tension that builds up at one of those when the three main characters were going about looking for someone else is the highlight of the movie, director and actors nailed it. Definitely not as philosophically robust or morally invigorating as A SPEARATION, but intriguing enough to never feel boring. The story is borderline banal and the melodrama not nearly as encapsulating and richly constructed as in the aforementioned, but as I said the performers killed it, and the revelations worked for me. Sidenote: Is it time everyone start ripping off Cianfrance’s framing of car conversations in BLUE VALENTINE (I said framing, not weird post-prod color addition/work) they just really worked.
If they year ended now, I surely would nominate Tahar Rahim for Best Supporting Actor, but that’s it. ★★★½
Upstream Color – Well deserved noms. I hope other indie awards take notice.
Amy Seimetz – Woww.. two nominations. Richly deserved too.
Testing, testing…
…and I would replace either/all Ain’t Them Bodies and Upstream Collar with the RETURN of the REPLY BUTTON.
Replace either Ain’t them bodies Saints or Upstream Color with Short Term 12.
Both ok, just ST12 is A LOT better.
superkk
I think both are widely considered top10 contenders…problem is there are EXTREMELY strong top5/top7 contenders in both races so it does seem like it will be tougher to pull off a surprise than usually.
as i stated before..i really think brie larson and michael b. jordan stand a greater chance than most people on this site seem to think.
David, don’t get your hopes up just yet, it’s not like Scarlett Johansson will now get an Oscar nomination for Don Jon and same goes for Brie Larson. If she starts dominating the critics group-phase OR pull off a major nod (SAG would help her the most), THEN she will be a major threat. Until then she remains a long shot.
Christophe
Yes I’m excited about Larson get nominated hopefully its momentum to other nominations including an Oscar nomination but I’m disappointed ‘ Short Term 12’ didn’t get nominated for best feature
Strange nomination list. That cant be good for DBC and All is Lost if they couldnt get a BP nomination in a field with Upstream Color (good film but oscar worthy?) and Aint Them Bodies Saints.
And congrats to Amy Seimetz who cleaned up here!

They are rather insignificant oscar-wise, last year, none of their BP nominees got in and they nominated two major Oscar “snubs”: Moonrise Kingdom (winner) and The Master, so getting a nod there might be more of a curse than anything else.
I bet David will be ecstatic though…
As usual, we won’t know which way the wind is blowing until we get the nominations from industry groups: AFI, guilds and Bafta.

Bryce, you are not alone for I am here with you. . . . [sort of]
I’m hoping they are partially being different here because that was just the way their noms turn out to be, NOT because they were being strategic about their indie signature. That otherwise would have defeated the purpose. . . .
Aah . . . . Aah . . . . Aah . . . . [presses the button. . . . ]
Don’t know about you guys, but I am not surprised […] no astronaut here nominated . . . . [just mildly teasing, no hatred]

Anyway, congrats to the wonderful Cate Blanchett, as well as Robert Redford for his career narrative, for the nods.
Just curious: His name, nowhere to be seen, was Bruce Dern being considered for Best Supporting Actor, #or# Best Lead Actor for this award event?
A strange set of nominations. Some of the films nominated for best feature have no additional noms (Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Before Midnight), which is puzzling (especially since they are both performance-driven movies, especially the latter).
On the other hand, no room for Blue Jasmine, All is Lost or Fruitvale Station despite performance noms…
Try watching UPSTREAM COLOR a second time. It’s not something deserving of awards, I don’t think. And I’m still a big fan of PRIMER.
Are these look like yet another awards that struggle with their indie identity? Because they are rewarding “indies” right? I have no idea.
WOW, Amy Seimetz caught my eye in the third season of The Killing, she delivered an excellent performance and now I see she not only received a lead actress nod for the critically acclaimed Upstream Color, but also one for directing (!) for Sun Don’t Shine, a film she also penned. We should keep a close eye on this one ! Great talent !
Better get used to seeing the words 12 years A Slave leads and WIN. Love all the love for this Masterpiece.
Were actors/actresses not able to be recognized in both breakthrough performance & Best Actor or Actress? Or, did they do that to spread the wealth?
I’m anticipating this is just the first in a long line of AD posts we will see this season that are headlined with the words “12 Years a Slave leads ________.”
Certainly, kj. She’s not very well known among the general public, but Concussion is hardly likely to be much of a breakthrough in her career.
Before Midnight in Picture but no acting nominations. And Blue Jasmine in Actress but no other nominations.
Today is a sad day…
I really have to check out Upstream Color though. And I’m seeing Short Term 12 in a couple of weeks!
How is Robin Weigert a “breakthrough” actor? She has a terrific CV.
