    2. Thanks for finally getting to my questions guys. Just kidding, but thanks for the great discussion. I’ve gone on at lengths with my personal feelings about the Original Song category on that specific post, so I won’t go into it here, but one other little change I’d really embrace is the merging of the Sound categories. Considering that there’s almost always a 4/5 match-up of films between the two, it seems like the Academy thinks of it as one category anyway.

      I’m surprised you guys didn’t talk about “The Master” for Best Cinematography. With all the recent talk about the hyped 70mm presentations, it’s a film where the cinematography becomes part of the conversation for the film, and that’s important when discussing an Oscar win.

      And for the record, “Only God Forgives” was picked up by the Weinsteins’ Radius company, which is focused on VOD services before a scheduled theatrical release. As much as I’d want to see another Refn film this year, my guess is that the film will be pushed back to 2013.

      • Thanks for sending it in Josh.

        I’ve been thinking about The Master more and more as the reviews keep coming in. I’m starting to fear while many of us will love it, many of the Academy members are going to write it off and go safe with something like Lincoln and/or Hyde Park on Hudson.

    3. Great Podcast as always guys. I’m suprised that no one said Ted as this year’s Hereafter for visual effects. Clay, I’ve seen your predictions and I feel like Ted has a better chance of getting in than half of those movies you put in contention.
