Unforrtunately TIG has a lot of first-quality competition this year, including Selma, and also the Stephen Hawking movie, whatever it's called (sorry, I forget).

Re: The Imitation Game
Isn't it The Theory of Everything? Hawking is the Benedict one from a few years back.
There's a lot of competition but TIG is the only one I've seen. We get the Stephen Hawking one in January.

Re: The Imitation Game
Ah, well, there's always room at the top! 
Seriously, the critics' reviews of The Imitation Game were mixed as to the film, but uniformly raves about Benedict's acting. Hopefully that's a good sign for him in the awards races.

Re: The Imitation Game
And I am glad that the film, the score, and Graham Moore also get their share of nominations. Because we saw what happened with TFE. Benedict was excellent but did not get a single nomination because the film failed with critics and the box office.

Re: The Imitation Game
It seems unfair - I think one person who is outstanding should be nominated (if deserved) even if the rest of the film isn't great.

Don't tell me. I think he deserved lots of nominations.

Yes, the Theory of Everything.
I saw Oprah Winfrey and the Brit actor with the Nigerian name who stars in Selma on CBS This Morning today, they showed clips from the movie and some archival footage from the civil rights movement days in the 60s, and I think the movie will be a real tour de force.
Quality competition this year.

Re: The Imitation Game
"The Theory of Everything" on the other hand might get lots of nominations for Eddie Redmayne at various award ceremonies, but maybe not so many nominations for the film itself. I haven't seen it yet, but a colleague of mine whose opinions about movies I usually share saw it and said that Redmayne is brilliant, but the film itself is a bit too much on the cheesy side. And the trailer does confirm this, if you ask me.
