So Captain Phillips gets a visual effects nomination over Man of Steel....................................okay...

I say most of the time, the nominations and awards don't go out to the most deserving, but to who I call "critic darlings". It's BS.

Iron Man 3 was and still is, a steaming piece of shit!

That's a tough one. I liked both.

jerryblake - 12/16/2013, 12:08 PM
only one nomination for "Prisoners".
Gotta see that movie and see what's the case here.

Glad to see Asa is nominated for "Ender's Game".
Best sf movie of 2013 and a total surprise as well.


No art direction nomination for Wolverine ? This sucks.

Both are great actors, but lets say MOS!

Yeah I just noticed that. WTF? Lol I guess Chiwetel has a twin we don't know about

lol. There must be some mistake here.


Being nominated in two best actor categories ... Priceless

I could list about a 100 other reasons, but Honest Trailers already did that for me. I made a comparison before that the Marvel Studios movies are like the original Star Wars trilogy and Iron Man 3 is the Star Wars prequels, that are shit, but because its Star Wars (or in this case Marvel) people still let it slide.

MOS. They're gonna pick RDJ, but Cavil is the perfect Supes
ManDeth
ManDeth - 12/16/2013, 12:13 PM
This means nothing and adds nothing to any nominated film in any category.
Iron Man 3 is a giant pile of crap held up by the current popularity of RDJ.

Story of Iron Man 3 and the plot was good. Doesn't make it a good movie.

They're also up against Brad Pitt and Marky Mark. IMO it really comes down to RDJ vs. Pitt.

OmegaDaGod: it is supposed to be Michael Fassbender for the supporting actor, not Chiwetel Ejiofor.

As disappointing as IM3, at least RDJ gave a good performance. Better than anyone else on that list (haven't seen Lone Survivor)

imaginejim - 12/16/2013, 12:20 PM
Iron Man 3 was a good movie. That's my opinion just as it is others. People may not like it and that's their opinion. No one opinion is better than another and trying to force your opinion on someone else is ridiculous. Movies are subjective. Learn to accept other people's opinions, but respectively disagree and life is so much better. I've never understood the pointless need to force one's opinion on another.

Man of Steel was very good but didn't feel like a SUPERMAN movie.
Iron Man 3 was just pure shit so

Man of Steel>Iron Man 3 even tho it's not sayin that much.

Henry Cavill! HENRY CAVILL!!!

I have not felt this strongly about a guy playing Superman since Christopher f%$#ing Reeve. Cavill IS the Man of Steel, and he brought humanity and emotion to a character who was, I will readily admit, somewhat thinly written.

Everyone knows Robert Downey Jr. is a great Tony Stark, but c'mon, the guy has been recognized for it more than enough. GIVE IT TO HENRY CAVILL, DAMMIT!

On another note, the cast of 12 years a slave deserves every award. Great performances all around.

DeathstrokeTerminator - 12/16/2013, 12:24 PM
What I don't get is how when Marvel screws over Iron Man's number one villain, it's perfectly okay. But when DC tries to modernize Superman, its too much. WTF?

McNyagano - 12/16/2013, 12:25 PM
We all know who's going to win between Cavil and Downey lol But who knows, it could go either way :)

Man of steel isn't wen nominated for best action movie?! What?!

How did I know this was a Josh Wilding article? lol.

RDJr for the motha[frick]in win!!

Isn't EVEN nominated****

Cavill is the perfect choice for Superman. NO one would have been better. This proves it right here:

@PinkGusto

"i wanna thank PinkGusto for giving me this award.
I feel trully completed now.

My work ... has paid.

I worked so hard to have most twisted sex fantasy ever, spend so much time thinking about sex.

There were people who said i can't do it ... well ... guess what ?

(quoting Will Smith)
Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.


Thank you !!!!!!"
