Mladen Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Patricia Arquette... Of course. There was really no other choice this year was there? Not really. Stone and Knightley were likable, but nit even close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Meryl Streep? Meryl is a great actress, but this year was outmatched in every aspect. Out of five of them she would have been the least deserving winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Eh, I don't agree at all. Those music sequences were complicated, the budget was low, the time was short and everyone knows what drums sound like so everything has to be perfect in mixing them into the constant jazz music that makes up the soundtrack. Just because a soundtrack is loud doesn't mean it should win. Interstellar wasn't just loud. It was as quiet as a whisper in places and one of the most dynamic mixing jobs I have heard. It was probably the most complicated mixing since Jurassic Park. Any sound person should be able to mix drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Terrible choice. This just shows that the voters have no idea what Sound mixing actually is. While Whiplash did an above average job, it wasn't close to having the technical merits that Interstellar displayed. I loved Whiplash, and didn't like Interstellar, but the sound mixing was unquestionably better in the later. Unquestionably according to whom, my dear? The sound mixing from Interstellar was very criticized by audiences and critics alike because many people had trouble hearing the dialogue and it's by far the most controversial nominee in the category in many years. Stop acting like your opinion is a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anti-Targ Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Best Visual Effects Captain America: The Winter Soldier Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Guardians of the Galaxy Interstellar X-Men: Days of Future Past Hmmm, from personally seeing both Apes and Interstellar I'd have to go with Apes as the superior SFX job. Perhaps the voters thought they used actual trained apes for the movie not CGI apes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible experience even when the script lacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, the voters didn't think that they used actual apes, but Interstellar did make it look like they actually had cameras in space, rather than use CGI.

SFX has been doing impressive outer space shots since Star Wars. Impressive living, breathing emotionally relatable SFX has been very recent and is still an improving technology. If anything it is the cinematography that's impressive with Interstellar not the SFX, albeit the SFX is very good in Interstellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
