International Cinephile Society Nominees

The gayer, alien-body-snatching, delinquent-teenage-son, vampiric, in 3-D alternative to the Academy Awards.  The chilling, Hitchcockian penis-filled French film Stranger by the Lake led the field with 9 nomination, while Xavier Dolan's Mommy (which I loved) followed with 8 nominations.

To enhance the mood while reading this list.

Golden Globes Predictions

It's Golden Globes time again and here are my last minute, somewhat thought out predictions for how the boozy, Tina Fey/Amy Poehler fest will turn out.  The other day, the HFPA website had a hiccup declaring Ava DuVernay's Selma and Rob Marshall's Into the Woods winners, but that was either an ad-hoc to trend on Twitter or a legitimate glitch.  Or, who knows....

BEST ORIGINAL SONG
"Big Eyes," Big Eyes- Lana Del Rey, Daniel Heath
"Glory," Selma- John Legend, Common
"Mercy Is," Noah- Patti Smith, Lenny Kaye
"Opportunity," Annie- Greg Kurstin, Sia, Will Gluck
"Yellow Flicker Beat," The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1- Joel Little, Lorde

The Globes like stars and to be of the moment which could signal wins for Del Rey or Lorde, but I'm thinking this is a pretty easy win for Selma's "Glory." They'll get stars on the podium and it's the most respective movie of the group.  Plus, Selma's 4 nominations meant the HFPA must like the film and here's it's easiest victory.  Grumble: where is "Lost Stars" from Begin Again!!!

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
Birdman- Antonio Sanchez 
Gone Girl- Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross 
The Imitation Game- Alexandre Desplat 
Interstellar- Hans Zimmer 
The Theory of Everything- Jóhann Jóhannson

Hard one and actually a pretty good line-up-- 2014 was a memorable year for scores (even middlebrow bait like Imitation and Theory are a good fit here.)  Really, it could go anywhere, but I'm thinking Birdman's drums carry it to a victory.  Added bonus is Sanchez's score was deemed ineligible by the Academy so the Globes can feel all superior and stuff.  Kind of thinking the Oscar goes to Theory of Everything.  Thoughts?
