| Payne normally writes his films so this is a switch. But Nelson seems like a formidable contender. |

David O. Russell movies often feel like writer's movies. But this one feels more like an actors film. Safe or on the line for a surprise omission? | Woody is always a threat if people like the film. And people like the film. But there's always the case of Vicky Cristina Barcelona to consider which was not nominated. |
The AIDS drama shows unexpected support early in the season and never let up, even winning an editing nod. |
| In the Dread Sixth Spot? That was probably The Coen Bros' Inside Llewyn Davis though sadly, given its quality I doubt Enough Said was anywhere near since the nominations in all categories were the most heavily best picture oriented they've ever been. So it's possible Gravity was in 6th, as crazy as that sounds. Weird that Frances Ha, All is Lost, Saving Mr Banks, Prisoners, Mud, and more couldn't make a dent in pre-season | ||||

Based on the memoirs of Solomon Northup (as told to David Wilson) which were originally published shortly after "Uncle Tom's Cabin". McQueen campaigns harder for the book than for his own contributions to the film's success. He wants it in school curriculum |
This could still be this year's sneakiest major Oscar player. It's based on the novel The Lost Child of Philomena Lee by Martin Sixsmith and the screenplay generally wins strong reviews. |
A major coup as nominations go. Thought it's heavy on the dialogue (which helps) much public fuss was made about how often the actors were just improving. |
from the non-fiction book "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days at Sea" by Richard Phillips & Stephan Tatty |
Can this trio repeat their "adapted" nomination for revisiting these characters in Before Sunset? Could they even win as a trilogy thank you? Will the DVD release reenergize its Oscar dreams? |
| Sixth Spot? One presumes that was August: Osage County which is brilliantly written but the mixed critical response due to poor direction and uninspired casting not to mention the weird rollout probably doomed Letts chances |
