So far I've been disappointed, but usually I catch the better films (like Vorn's list, international films) later than awards season. It'll be interesting when our R&R comes back around to 2014 and 2015 to see how they rate. |

Where is the f**king drool emoticon? Holy crap.
Oh, look, it's Rylance and Elba again...and Michael Shannon! Aaron actually said to me, "Who is Mark Rylance?" More proof that my husband doesn't listen to me (ha ha ha), or maybe all my British faves blend together. But I've been a fan of Rylance since I saw him in Angels and Insects years ago. And Intimacy, which opens with a very, ahem, memorable scene. |

It's hard to say since I'm only talking 2015 U.S. releases, although that would knock my #1 film, The Lobster to 2016. There are a number of 2015, and even some 2014, films that won't be available 'til next year, so any current year is at a disadvantage until at least March or April of the following year. For example, on letterbox'd, you've only seen 42 films from 2015 but 106 films from 2014 (yes, it's a slow work day) so even after you see the 20 films you list at the end, you'll still have only seen barely over half as many films as 2014. I image once enough year-end lists come up and more stuff becomes available, your 7 will come pretty close to the 20-23 range, but that's all speculation. Looking over everything I've rated, 2015 actually may not be better than last year, but I'd at least put it above 2010 and 2013. It may have been that I've seen so many good films from this year just within the last 4-5 weeks that caused me to overrate it a bit, but I still think it's a pretty solid year. I have about as many 4.5s, 4s and 3.5s for films from this year as I did last year and I still have a handful of potentially solid films to see soon From what you listed, I'd give the following 75+: Carol The Assassin Room Son of Saul Mistress America Queen of Earth My Golden Days |

Yeah, that Intimacy scene definitely puts the "lance" in "Rylance." Well, technically, it puts it in Kerry Fox, but you know what I mean. |

Hmm, I called those TV nominees the Emmys of your dreams before I noticed that The Americans and Better Call Saul were completely shut out. EDIT: So some are saying the eligibility period for these TV awards was June to December, making those shows ineligible. Whatevs. |

I meant to go into a rant about this earlier, but forgot... I'd actually argue that FURY ROAD being a major awards contender was easy to spot, and I would put money on it getting a large number of nominations come Oscars time. I think the Oscars are basically Hollywood/major studios trying to sell a narrative of "We know people think we only care about making money with big, dumb movies but we're actually artists making a difference!" Looking at Oscars Best Picture winners and (to a large extent) nominations they seem to fall into two categories, both of which sell this narrative: genre movies with 'artistic' cred (BIRDMAN, ARTIST, NO COUNTRY, DEPARTED), or (melo)dramas about serious issues (12Y, ARGO, KINGS SPEECH, HURT LOCKER, SLUMDOG, CRASH). FURY ROAD is a surefire Oscar Best Pic nom because: * It's a reboot (that people enjoyed as much as the originals) * Its colour scheme is teal and orange (that works really well and is totes appropriate) * It's a really loud and quick action film (that's well choreographed) * It's got barely dressed hot chicks (dealing with the serious issue of misogyny) * It's got lashings of CGI (but people still praise the action and stunts) * It's a big dumb blockbuster (that's also a deeply personal vision) * It's directed by the man behind HAPPY FEET (and he's an Artist at heart!) FURY ROAD is like a perfect justification for the road Hollywood is currently walking down, because it's managed to take the dreadful decisions that Hollywood takes every day and make them work. I'm not really too clear on whether it will win Best Pic (I'm not up on modern cinema enough to know whether the competition better fit the Oscar 'narrative') but if it does: you heard why here. :P |

You make good points, but what I meant was that it has appeared to be the critical darling that does not get a chance at Oscars. I'm thinking in the vein of Eternal Sunshine, Lost in Translation from old days. Or Tree of Life for more recently. I'd say it has a better shot than those films and that a Carol is the real critical darling. But since The Dark Knight, there seems to be a blockbuster film that gets a lot of critical love only to be shut out. Look at the OFCS nominees. Those are a LOT different than the days of RTCD. |

Aaron - I'm not following, are you saying those critical darlings were snubbed? All 3 of those were Oscar nominated (2 for BP) and the first two won at least one in other major categories. |
