Bought 12 Years A Slave an hour or so ago and plan on watching it tomorrow. It'll probably be my pick from what I've heard about it.

I recently got around to watching all of the films currently nominated for Best Picture, and I was pleasantly surprised with 12 Years A Slave. I was expecting a simple "white people are evil" movie, but I think it handled the issue of slavery from both sides great.
However, I'd have to go with the personal opinion that Dallas Buyers Club is the best nominee this year. Hell, I'm a sucker for any biopic, but this one really knocked my expectations out of the water. The acting in it is superb; Matthew McConaughey does an absolutely excellent job, and the supporting cast is just great as well.
Has anyone else seen it? It's really a great film, I highly recommend it.

Also a horrible list since Desolation of Smaug or Pacific Rim isn't in the running for Best Picture.

Hey, I love Pacific Rim, and it was my favorite movie of the year. But it's definitely not worthy of best picture, especially against movies liek Gravity, Her, and 12 Years a Slave.DragonFreak said:

The people who run the Oscars are too high-minded for movies that the common man enjoys.DragonFreak said:
...except for when they gave Return of the King 11 awards.

Yeah, I usually do not care for any movies of the Oscars. Which is why I consider them a joke.Dr. Javelin said:

Hell, I'll agree that the movies are entertaining, but for a pure quality standpoint (plot, character development, etc.), I don't think they're really gonna compare. That's the whole point; it's not to say "This movie is fun, I wanna recommend it to my friends" it's to say "This movie is good, and can be considered an achievement in the film industry". Also, you may have your own opinions, but there's no need to constantly deride the list.DragonFreak said:

gravity has been called a groundbreaking piece of filmmaking and got amazing reviews. i think you really need to see it in theaters to get the full effect, but it was a pretty cool movie nonethelessGulillilliant said:
pacific rim was supposed to have a lot of characterization but del toro didn't realize that having one hour of fight scenes doesn't leave a lot of room for character development...Sven said:
also the fact that he had like 10 main characters

To give del Toro some credit, I enjoyed all the characters in Pacific Rim, with the exception of Chuck, but he was supposed to be a dick. The characters were simple, but I liked them and all the actors did well.
An extended director's cut would be cool to see, with some more screen time for the characters.
