Zeus 09/14/17 3:17:44 AM #53:	madadude posted... So? We are talking about the race for best picture, as you clearly were making clear. Plus Social Network won editing and screenplay which are far more significant categories than actress in terms of winning best picture, and Inception won purely technical awards, and wasn't even nominated for director, so it had nothing significant going for it. Those things tend to correlate more strongly with best picture. And Social Network didn't win best screenplay, it won best adapted screenplay. You know what did win best screenplay (aka best original screenplay)? The King's Speech. Which, by the way, also won best director and best actor. madadude posted... Again, so? The number of Oscars won isn't what we are talking about here, we are talking about being a runner up for Best Picture. The precursor awards, which are the most common predictors of the Oscar race, as well as looking at what pundits were predicting at the time, clearly show American Hustle was third and had a slim chance, while Dallas Buyers Club had none. Dallas Buyers Club was the favorite to win actor, supporting actor, and makeup as those were the film's strengths. Acting awards are not a good predictor of best picture winners, plenty of acting winners haven't had their film nominated in best picture over the years. A good amount have also been the sole nominee of their film, yet won the award. Both before the awards and after the awards, the vast consensus was that American Hustle was the second runner up, while Dallas Buyers Club wasn't on the radar to win. American Hustle had a director nomination, which Dallas didn't have. In terms of the actual other awards predicting the Oscar winner, the best predictors are the nominees of director, screenplay and editing. 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle were the only ones to have all 3. Dallas and Captain Phillips didn't have directing nominations, Nebraska and Wolf of Wall Street didn't have editing nominations. Gravity didn't have a screenplay nomination. AH would have certainly beat Dallas. So you claim and so you'd like to believe, but Dallas won more awards closely associated with a big win. madadude posted... It was the favorite to win up until the Producer's Guild Award went to Argo. Favorite by who? If those are the same pundits you've been listening to, clearly they're divorced from reality. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:886572836] in Sony's new...

Also both adapted screenplay and original screenplay are screenplay awards. Don't be daft.

madadude 09/14/17 7:46:37 AM #56:	Figured I would get some stats to show how you are blatantly wrong. So for The Social Network: It won editing, which 46% of the past 35 best picture winners have done. It also won adapted screenplay, which 48.5% of the 35 best picture winners have done (and 74% of best picture winners have won one of the screenplay awards in general). Black Swan only won Best Actress (which only 14% of picture winners have done) and it was not even nominated for screenplay, which only 1/35 have done (Titanic, which won directing, editing, and a heap of other awards that Black Swan didn't), so you can throw its chances out. Inception was not even nominated for directing, which only 2/35 have done (Argo, which won editing and screenplay, neither of which Inception won, and Driving Miss Daisy, which won screenplay, which again Inception didn't do) so you can throw its chances out. So from that you can clearly see Social Network had a better shot at winning best picture than Black Swan or Inception, and really Social Network was the only competition to King's Speech that year. (Also far more best picture winners have won adapted screenplay compared than original screenplay, so you quip about it only winning adapted and not original only hurts your argument, it is better to win adapted screenplay if you want to win best picture than original screenplay and if anything, but go ahead I like to see you shoot yourself in the foot and prove to me that you know nothing about this). Now for American Hustle v. Dallas Buyers Club: Only 25% of the past 35 best picture winners have won best actor, and only 11% have won best supporting actor, so you can already see that it is much better to win best editing than best actor or best supporting actor. Additionally Dallas Buyers Club was not nominated for director, which again only 2/35 (thats roughly 6% if you can't understand fractions) have done. Compare that to American Hustle, which was nominated for director, original screenplay, and editing. In the past 35 years only 11% of films have won best picture without being nominated for all 3. American Hustle was nominated for all 3, Dallas Buyers Club was not nominated for director. Do I need to spell it out more? And finally when it comes to Argo vs. Lincoln: In the 30 years prior, only one other film (Driving Miss Daisy) has won best picture without even being nominated for best director. Meanwhile Lincoln, Life of Pi, and Silver Linings Playbook were all nominated for picture, director, screenplay and editing, which 89% of the past 35 winners have been nominated for. Anyone with a brain would have sided with Lincoln, Life of Pi, or Silver Linings Playbook with this information before Argo won the PGA, and anyone who thought otherwise, like you apparently, must have been completely divorced from reality as you say. --- http://www.last.fm/user/madadude17 <cite>madadude posted [p:886578509] in Sony's new...

madadude 09/14/17 8:20:11 AM #57:	And I'll repeat again because clearly you are hard of hearing, the PGA, the DGA, and the Golden Globes are much better indicators at who will win best picture than the winners of any of the other oscar categories. In the 28 years it has been around, the best picture winner has matched with the PGA winner 19 times. In this same time frame, the best picture winner has matched with the DGA winner 20 out of 28 times And the best picture winner has also won either the drama golden globe or comedy/musical golden globe 16 out of 28 times. All stronger than winning any oscar besides director which has won 19 out of 28 best pictures in this time frame. So its honestly better for a director to win a directing award at the DGA than at the oscars. In terms of being associated to a best picture win, it goes from most likely to least likely Best Director Best Adapted Screenplay Best Editing Best Original Screenplay A Lead Acting Award A Supporting Acting Award --- http://www.last.fm/user/madadude17 <cite>madadude posted [p:886579417] in Sony's new...
