Geez, Anna and the gang have legs. Maybe Disney should title all of its future movies with just adjectives- The Good Dinosaur can be shortened to Tall, and Zootopia can be called Fuzzy or something.
Or maybe it's the songs and great writing, I dunno.
The Best Picture nod's probably between 12 Years and Gravity.

The Best Picture nod's probably between 12 Years and Gravity. I'd throw The Butler, All is Lost and Captain Phillips in the mix. But ultimately it's going to 12 Years.

Yeah, the Best Picture race has been between Gravity and 12 Years for the last couple of months. Right now, I'd say American Hustle and Nebraska are the films getting the most buzz right now as far as awards go, but they're still not at the same level as those two. As far as Frozen goes, that looks to be a lock for a Best Animated Feature nomination at the very least. The Wind Rises also looks likely to be nominated (though Arrietty didn't, so you never know), and Despicable Me 2 and Monsters U look like they have good chances as well, though that could depend on whether or not they'll have 3 nominations in the category or 5.

When it comes to Ghibli films, they aren't nominated until they are released in America. So The Wind Rises won't be nominated this year.

Huh, didn't realize that it didn't come out in the U.S. this year. I guess I assumed so because it has been nominated for various other awards, including the Golden Globes (for foreign language film, but not Animated for some reason).

And unless it comes out next year it won't be nominated at all. That's what happened to Arrietty. It took too long between the Japanese and English releases to be eligible.

Saw the trailer for 'Walking With Dinosaurs' before Dr Who 50.
And it looks f***ing awful. Typical nature adventure where the carnivores are the villains because... well they eat the herbivores. And who picked the breed of dinosaur to be the main protagonists.. the (i had to look this up cause I was not sure) Pachyrhinosaurus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachyrhinosaurus) .. Why not use a dinosaur that more people have heard of like the Triceratops.. at least they have those awesome horns.
And looking over list of dinosaurs that appear in this movie... Does Amblin have copyright over certain dinosaurs or something? Because name the first 5 dinosaurs that come to your head.... I bet you not one of them is in 'Walking With Dinosaurs'.

I can understand wanting to use lesser known dinosaurs but watching the commercials it just seems like a Ice Age copy.

Walking with Dinosaurs is not good. It's loosely (more in the concept stage than the current version) based on BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs documentary series. However, they pretty quickly were shoe-horned into adding voices.
And even worse - the "celebrity" voices were added just a a few months ago, showing you how messed up the project is.
The CGI is nice, no doubt, but it's a shame the movie has NO faith in the audience. It assumes kids are too dumb to watch a movie without dialogue (not at all true), that teenagers need stupid jokes to pay attention to a movie (also not true), and that adults need celebrity voices to stay awake in a "kid's" movie.
Tons of potential but it's all 100% squandered.

Yeah, I remember hearing it basically started off with no voice at all... aside from maybe narration... and then they just kinda hastily added celebrity voice over because they figured no one would want to watch the movie otherwise.

I'm assuming I'm not the only one that got completely sick of seeing Ron Burgundy everywhere the last few weeks and thus lost all desire to see the actual movie.

Just for Christmas day 47 Ronin finished 3rd of the big four opening yesterday with just over 7 million. It was 6th in box office for the day.

47 Ronin wasn't as horrible as the critics make it seem. It was pretty decent all things told.
Of course my opinion might be a bit clouded by seeing Rinko Kikuchi being sexy as all get out.

Word of advice here. Go see The Wolf of Wall Street. Most of the major stars in the movie are out of control. Leo Di Caprio especially. Coke and hookers everywhere.
