The Critics' Lists and Awards for 2013 Movies Thread - PRESENTED BY WILL FORTE

**Henry Gale** · 12-04-2013, 05:55 PM

Some really diverse, surprising and deserved recognition for a lot of stuff that hasn't been lauded or even included too much amongst other year-end awards talk.

Very happy to see Her dominate for Jonze. I get to see it tomorrow!

Wow didn't see THAT coming at all. NBR has a rep for being rather conservative in their taste too. Suddenly Her has a chance for a BP nom.

**Pop Trash** · 12-04-2013, 06:14 PM

Weren't there first time films worthy other than Fruitvale Station? Cuz I had some significant issues with that film.

Exactly, it's totally unexpected and awesome (though I do realize I'm saying this without having seen it yet), especially when I see that the last two times a NBR winner didn't land in Oscar's Best Picture category were Gods and Monsters and Quills in 1998 and 2000. Both those exceptions were also about a decade before BP had up to ten nomination slots.

Kinda changes the race significantly as far as I see it.

I'm trying to think of some.

I would be delighted to see MacGruber nominated for an Oscar.

It was a really tall order to be asked to take him seriously in Nebraska.

You obviously hadn't seen his previous dramatic performance of a man with serious father issues. I'm pretty sure this is why Payne cast him.

**Spinal** · 12-05-2013, 04:13 AM

Man, I love Will Forte. Top 5 all-time SNL cast member as far as I'm concerned.

I thought it was for his previous performance as a salesperson.

**Lucky** · 12-05-2013, 06:05 AM

I'm disappointed that Before Midnight doesn't seem to be pulling traction for anything except Adapted Screenplay.

This is now the Will Forte thread.

Thanks for posting that. Love that Carruth got notice--UC has such a hypnotic rhythm.

It's pleasing to see Hawke, Delpy, and Linklater actually win for their finely crafted work. That series remains more lived-in and fascinating in coverage than almost anything else. Just wish they'd receive notice, Delpy especially, for their performances...

**Spinal** · 12-09-2013, 02:18 AM

Ties are lame. Also lame: runner-ups.

**Dead & Messed Up** · 12-09-2013, 03:16 PM

Will Forte as Clancy T. Bachlerat Sings Songs About Model T Cars, Toddlers, Jars of Beer, and Spaceships

His five-to-1 sketches have given me way too many laughs.

**Ezee E** · 12-10-2013, 06:36 AM

Detroit nominated Stanley Tucci for Best Supporting Actor.

On that note,

Brown Eggs stops by "Morning Prayer."

Slant's top 25 films here.

Really want to see Her, Inside Llewyan Davis, Museum Hours and Laurence Anyways...

Same. Also Viola, A Touch of Sin and At Berkeley.

**Henry Gale** · 12-13-2013, 06:29 PM

Very good list from Slant (from what I've seen and what it's compelling me to seek out), especially since it seems like most of my own current Top 10 or so is spread across the list and I really can't disagree with Her at #1.

**Derek** · 12-14-2013, 03:10 AM

Tiny Mix Tapes

Leviathanwrite-up by yours truly. Typically odd list, but pretty thrilled with the top 5 (not that big of a Computer Chess, but love seeing Bujalski, or any Qrazy-despised film, garner praise) as well as many other picks.

**Boner M** · 12-14-2013, 05:30 AM

What's the rules of eligibility is that list going by? Bestiaire was a 2012 premiere & US release; Himizu a 2012 premiere w/ no US release.

(sorry)

Anyway, glad to see some recognition for The Dirties.

I'm not a fan, but then I would hate anything so politically correct. (Curious that the writer cites Fassbinder as an influence on Dolan when his films about gay relationships were anything but.)

**baby doll** · 12-14-2013, 01:24 PM

Incidentally, while we're on the subject of year-end polls and whatnot, this year for the Matchies, wouldn't be it simpler and less time consuming if, instead of doing an Oscar-style nomination process and balloting, we just did a straight poll like the Village Voice and IndieWire?
