I was with ya til that last one. Inside Llewyn Davis is overrated, and deserved what it didn't get. There were at least 20 better movies in 2013 than ILD. Period.

How is it that the academy even considered Jonah Hill? Leonardo D. should have won by now. What gives. The academy is a disgrace and probably just like the USA government; bought out by big money. Well, the regular citizens are NOT buying this Jonah H. crap. Good riddens. Won't watch — even with Ellen hosting. Hope your viewership tanks! Credibility is on the LINE!

very much dislike the fact that Jonah Hill is even considered to an Oscar. The Academy should have given Leonardo DeCaprio an Oscar long long ago. What a bunch of idiots

Llewyn Davis was ok but just went nowhere. Sorry but it doesn't deserve a Best Picture nod. No way.

3 – Number of people before Megan Ellison who've had two Best Picture nominations in the same year.

Who were the other three? Harvey Weinstein is probably one. Maybe Robert Evans?

I'm actually surprised that the scores at rottentomotoes and metacritic matched up almost perfectly. 97 for both for 12 Years a Slave and Gravity and 76/75 for Wolf of Wall Street. Usually I hear about how metacritic is so much better. Also, considering Wolf of Wall Street has the lowest rating for both those sites it's interesting that it has one of the highest on IMDB. This should explain the films demographic. Fanboys and wannabes. The new Scarface maybe?

Inside Llewyn Davis sucked and deserved it's snubs.

Actually The Wolf of Wall Street has the highest IMDB score (8.7) against 8.6 of both Her and 12 Years a Slave. It connected way better with audiences than with critics.
