[kris.]

Man, I really need to see Whiplash.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Poor Interstellar

Interstellar's sound mixing was terrible

 

[Atraveller]

Interstellar would have made GAF rage.

Nominations already made gaf rage.

 

[Verger]

Interstellar had amazing sound, but the mixing itself was not that great, particularly when it came to dialog being drowned out by music and vice versa.

 

[RangersFan]

this guy is so gonna get played off.

 

[bgbball31]

As much as I loved Interstellar and had no issue with its mixing, Whiplash deserved that.

 

[kingkitty]

mic hog lol

 

[JNA]

Oh man these guys are nervous as hell...

 

[Hours Left]

Dude's nervous.

 

[samn]

how you gonna get ratings when half the people in this thread are streaming it illegally?

its really hard to care about ratings anymore when half the viewers stream it, and ratings are based on the 12 people who have a nielsen box.

People streaming illegally are still watching ads, which is how the network makes its money.

 

[Megasoum]

Interstellar wasn't that good to begin with and the sound was probably the worst part.

 

[Skellig Gra]

First guy really choked on the mic.

 

[~Kinggi~]

They didnt expect to win clearly.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Poor Interstellar

Interstellar was my movie of 2014, but sound design/mixing was NOT its forte. You couldn't hear shit half of the time.

 

[17 Seconds]

Haha poor guy.

 

[MMarston]

how the fuck was Interstellar even nominated for sound mixing?

Because it perfectly simulated how you could get deaf next to rocket engines.

 

[Zodzilla]

Nolan soundmixing and editing is fucking terrible

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Interstellar wasn't that good to begin with and the sound was probably the worst part.

Said noone ever.

 

[VaultBoy101]

It's like this literally every year.

Maybe I'm misremembering but this feels like the same way they do it every year...? Hell, most award shows do.

They generally have a few more tech awards sprinkled throughout all of that stuff.

 

[lazybones18]

Who sitting next to Terence Howard? She smoking hot

 

[Dominator]

A+ for whoever is doing the nominee animation graphics. Just fantastic so far.

 

[Plasmid]

Hobbit robbed

 

[RangersFan]

Sniper! Suck it haters.

 

[SliceSabre]

Eww Sniper.

 

[Matush]

Lmao, Sniper won something.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Ok American Sniper, you get your one win.

 

[Game4life]

lol American Sniper.

 

[GavinUK86]

American Sniper? Yeah bro, those gunshots sounded great.

[EightBitNate]

A+ for whoever is doing the nominee animation graphics. Just fantastic so far.

I was especially impressed by the costume award cards. Fantastic.

 

[Sanjuro]

Well deserved.

 

[Reckoner]

I swear I thought until now that Gone Girl was nominated for best soundtrack. They don't want to give the award again to Trent.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Hobbit robbed

Lol I was hoping they won just so GAF could choke on it's own bile.

 

[K.Sabot]

Any movie with good war sounds is a winner in my book.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Lmao, Sniper won something.

Sniper!

Winner of 1 academy award*


*for sound design

 

[Hamlet]

First one for Sniper. Lets see if it'll get anymore.

 

[Atraveller]

Interstellar was my movie of 2014, but sound design/mixing was NOT its forte. You couldn't hear shit half of the time.

My IMAX viewing is a lot better than regular one.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I feel like War movies win sound editing a lot.

 

[Omega Ultimus]

Jesus, smile.

 

[vinnygambini]

Omg I can't stop laughing. Thank You based Oprah, so many gifs & pics tonight.

 

[Draconian]

It'd be funny for American Sniper to win BP just to see this thread take off.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Wait when did they do supporting actor?

 

[Beboh13]

Yes! Sniper deserved it.

 

[vatstep]

Both of those sound winners were obvious choices.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Holy shit, I'm actually doing pretty well with my predictions considering I was trying to vote like a Hollywood Reporter voter.

 

[Brazil]

Fucking boo.

 

[AuthenticM]

how can you judge sound editing ? Like, how can you tell from watching a movie "mmm, this sound is very well-edited". Like, what ? I don't get it.

 

[Exterminieren]

Well, there's AS's Oscar.

Run along now.

 

[moai]

Why does american sniper get so much hate? Im not from the US and i dont get it.
