All I know is Beginners best get in for more than just Plummer (who is great, but not even the third best of the cast IMO). It's my favorite film of all-time, so let's make it happen. At least a Screenplay nod for Christ's sake.
Other than that, this is my favorite year for film this decade (though it's been a weak decade overall) so I have a ton of FYCs, but I'll just put the films and hope you all know what you have to do:
FYC BEGINNERS. Drive. Bullhead. Young Adult. The Interrupters. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Warrior. Terri. Hanna. Jane Eyre. Rango. We Need to Talk About Kevin. W.E. (I'll kill something if this doesn't get in for Score at the LEAST). Meek's Cutoff. Pariah. The Skin I Live In. Attack the Block. Source Code. Headhunters. Submarine. Contagion. Chico & Rita. Did I mention Beginners?
Also, definitely be sure to check out The Silent House (not the shitty Elizabeth Olsen remake) before voting on Choreography. A fantastic and horrifying (in a good way) use of the single take like Victoria.
Yeah, I could keep going. Fuckin' love this year. Let's vote for the good stuff, y'all! No War Horse nonsense!

While The Tree of Life should be safe for quite a few nominations, I want to make sure no one forgets to include it in Sound Mixing and Sound Editing, particularly for the creation sequence.

well Warrior is trash. Good to know... can't even recommend it for choreography because the fights are barely visible between the close-up shaky cam and the hundred or so cuts to reaction shots. Drinking game: take a shot any time we see Joel Edgerton's wife anxiously raising her hands to her mouth or his high school students cheering and/or looking nervous during a fight. You'll be plastered in three minutes.

I got an hour through The Tree of Life before my disc stopped working. I've said for a while now that if Malick filmed a plastic bag blowing in the wind, y'all would call it God's Gift to Cinema. The Tree of Life confirms it. Yeah, I'm not in any rush to finish it.

I didn't care for it at all, but from what I remember I found the first half somewhat tolerable...the second half though . It actually bugs me so much I'm not even voting for it in cinematography (not that it matters, it'll get in and win any way).

I didn't care for it at all, but from what I remember I found the first half somewhat tolerable...the second half though . It actually bugs me so much I'm not even voting for it in cinematography (not that it matters, it'll get in and win any way). having watched this a couple days ago I felt the exact opposite. The stuff that resonated with me the most were the autobiographical depictions of childhood, especially under such disparate parenting styles. I felt like I was watching these kids growing up, albeit filtered through Malick's impressionistic perspective. It's by no means a naturalistic film but there's a lot of truth and humanity buried deep in here. It was just as elegantly simple and beautiful as anything in Badlands or Days of Heaven and that portion of the film was mostly in the second half. It's the first half that totally left me cold because there was nothing for me to latch on to between the nature shots, whispery voiceover, Chastain floating in the air like something out of American Horror Story, bad dinosaur CGI, and a long-winded creation sequence. There was no focus at all, it was just a meandering succession of arbitrary images that felt more like a trailer for an idea than a realization of an idea. It was all so vague and flowery and I couldn't help but think that one shot of a tree could have been switched with any other shot of a tree. It all just felt so messy and arbitrary. Lubezki's cinematography during this portion even rubbed me the wrong way because it called so much attention to itself and felt so gimmicky in the absence of something human to connect with. It distanced me from what I was seeing because the people and trees just felt like props in a Kodak commercial. I don't know what greater significance Malick was trying to dredge out of these autobiographical musings or what it has to do with all that perfume ad shit in the first portion, but I definitely resonated with the scenes of Jack and his brothers growing up. Thankfully that's most of the film, and I found it breathtaking and honest and simple.

Thankfully that's most of the film, and I found it breathtaking and honest and simple. I think my issue with the scenes of Jack and his brothers growing up was that they were too simple, to the point of almost tediousness. In terms of the parents, well Pitt was an ill tempered bore and Chastain was a more nice easy going bore. It's all so basic and uninteresting for me. Still, 2010s Malick storytelling is dictionary definition of basic and uninteresting to me. I genuinely feel like he has nothing of note to say.
In regards to why I prefer the earlier portion of the film, honestly, its down to little more than the fact it had a lot of beautiful imagery and interesting shots. It's hardly a compliment to the first half. It's sort of a case of being forced to eat one of two stale muffins, and you eat the one that looks less stale.

You'll be plastered in three minutes. yeah, I'm in Johnny's boat. A recent re-watch really pointed some glaring flaws that I forgot. The pointless subplot of his students and Editing to them during the final fight. And it's so gd manipulative, but that final song in that final fight along w/ Nolte hits me straight. Plus I could watch Hardy kick some ass and walk out of the ring all day

It's my win for Production Design and Costumes, so I'll be pissed if it doesn't make it into both. It's got its flaws, but people need to look past the Emmerich label and recognize there is quality there. Same thing with The Patriot in 2000: that film's techs are on point. Same thing also goes for Snyder and Sucker Punch. Is it a great film? No. But it's definitely got some excellent techs to its credit that should be recognized.

It's painfully close to my Top 10 of 2011 (one of my favourite years). I was actually shocked when I saw how generally poorly received it was. Mr. Emmerich will always be alright in my book anyway, as he gave me Eight Legged Freaks too.

His movies are loud and dumb and largely lack subtext, but they are almost always entertaining. And Eight-Legged Freaks was my jam as a kid.
