Yes, both have their violent moments, but Blood Diamond  is so much more than the violence. It tells of the illegal diamond trade. A heart wrenching story.

Youve got to see it

Alright, I'll put it on my list. I find the diamond trade, illegal or not, fascinating. What part does Leo play and who else is in it?

regarding your OP. I like Jennifer Lawrence but she is just flavour of the month at the moment. Havent seen American Hustle so cant say whether she deserves an Oscar for it or not

I'm amazed at the way the public, Hollywood and the Academy have taken to Jennifer Lawrence. I think they have been desperate for quite some time for "The Next Big Thing". For a while people thought Anne Hathaway would replace the queen, Julia Roberts. But Hathway is so disliked by the public.

Or maybe they think of Lawrence like Meryl Streep who within two years won a best actress and best supporting Oscar. Whatever it is, Hollywood want a new super-star and have decided she will be it. I think the producers believe a good portion of "The Hunger Games" box office is because of her, unfounded in my opinion.

reply to daydreamer......

I agree that Blood Diamond was/is a brilliant movie/story......well acted by all in it. Leo shone in it IMO due to his excellent Sth African accent - but overall not to an Oscar performance standard IMO. I think he needs to find the right script/part still in order to win an Oscar. He is capable and will prob get an O in the future.

I hope Kate B gets an O.

I want Meryl Streep to win 

I dont think Leo will get it cause I dont think the oscar people like him.

Jennifer is flavour of year so I think she will get the top one.

GOOOOOO CATE! She was robbed with "Elizabeth" the Oscar going to Gwyneth Paltrow for "Shakespeare in love" that year.

I just about smashed the TV when that happened. lol

Jared Leto is simply amazing in Dallas Buyers Club as is Matthew Mc Connaughy 

Best film  :12 years a Slave

and, this is how shallow people are.

Seriously, who cares>?

Actors and actresses are people who get put up on a pedastal and paid waaaayyyy too many $, to do **bleep** all. jmo

Who's list is this? I agree that 3 on the list will probably get the gong, Director, Actress and supporting Actor.

I've only seen Dallas Buyers Club out of those up, great film, forgot it was Matthew McConaughy, haven't seen 12 years a Slave, heard it should get best picture/actor.

Leo plays a Diamond smuggler

Djimon Hounsou and Jennifer Connelly are also in it.

duff, you dont care yet couldnt resist opening this thread and taking the time to comment?

crystal, Yes, Leo snubbed the Oscars for a few years and rumours are that thats why the Oscars snubbed him

[only*a*minor*degree]

Well said, daydream.

duff is just a hypocrite. It watches movies/ is entertained by actors along with the rest of us. It is simply that we are enjoying a thread it didn't create that bugs it.

Also, could be resentment that while we are discussing a subject duff is interested in, duff doesn't discuss topics and threads that interest us - therein lies the frustration.

BTW, I love Jennifer Connelly -  she was great in A Simple Mind and of course, The Labyrinth...

My prdiction is he will get 20 years to life
