Nebraska (2013) - It was the last of this year's Best Picture nominees for me.

Here they are in order I would vote for them (which has nothing to do with expected results):


Her


Dallas Buyer's Club
Philomena
American Hustle
The Wolf of Wall Street
12 Years a Slave

Nebraska
Captain Phillips
Gravity


Nothing I find bad on the list. Nebraska was okay. 6.4 ish I think. Kinda lacklustre in some ways.

Also I would not have nominated Bruce Dern for best actor. Just a really easy role that any old guy could have done just as well. Hard to screw up really.

I have heard talk how he should be rewarded for his lifetime body of work. That is one of the most ridiculous lines of thinking I can imagine. First of all, I never think body of work should be factored into an award - just look at the performance. But if you really must think that way, give your head a shake. Like Henry Fonda finally getting an Oscar for on Golden Pond, okay, I get it. Paul Newman was not that good in Road to Perdition but extraordinary career so fine.

Those were top guys in their field for a long period of time. Hall of Famers. They should have an Oscar, one could posit. Bruce Dern is peripheral hammy support. He is a .200 hitter who just happened to not die.

Lifetime achievement of Bruce Dern. :facepalm:

Someone else. I knew almost immediately that Rust would morph into a suspect at some point but I believe he is a red herring and it is someone else.

Yeah be it that the show started off with them being questioned, it was obvious right from the get-go that one or both were being suspected. I am sure it's someone else as well, but I wonder if they will find the guilty party this time....
