Here's a curve ball for you to start the week: Paramount are campaigning for Transformers: Age of Extinction to be considered for the Academy Awards as Best Picture 2014. Not only that, they're also pushing for Michael Bay and Ehren Kruger to be nominated for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, and a whole other legion of categories for everything related to the movie. To be fair, they are nominating most of their movies for most categories, from Noah, to Interstellar, to Hercules - but what do you think of their selection? Let us know in the Energon Pub!

Look, even though I thought AoE had the tightest plot out o fthe TF Films, I wouldn't go calling it the best adapted screenplay.

As for Mr. Bay, I don't think he's the best director. I liked his earlier films a lot, but lately he's been dragging out his movies with useless filler and stupid jokes.

If the movie was gonna get an award, why not lobby for something like Best Special Effects?

Surely the jokes come from the writer. I would love to see Bay get an Oscar that being said, as it would be good to see the look on the other directors faces, especially Nolan.

Of course I would also love to see James Gunn get the award but I sadly know he won't. Comic book movies seem to be exempt from all but best special effects.

only if M.Bay stops in the middle of his acceptance speech to very slowly drink a branded beverage.

Oh yes, Guardians of the Galaxy deserves to be getting alot of awards this year. Comic book or not, I don't think I've seen anyone say anything bad about it. Even the guy I work with who hates comic book films loved it.

Well if the brand paid him the money for it...

well they must have run out of films to submit!

they should pursue the technical oscars. I still think they were robbed for the sfx for the first film.

One of the things I learned to do while getting into the movies is to take a step back and make sure I'm not taking myself or the hobby too seriously.

I think Paramount needs to do the same.

That said, this is hilarious! :lol:

What a funny joke! How hilarious! I fell out of my chair laughing! Who photoshopped this?

Last I checked, the Academy didn't have categories for "Best Fourth Time Rehash," "Best Minimalist Use of Robotic Dinosaurs," or "Best Onscreen Justification for Statutory Rape."

It deserves it. But, it won't win. There's literally no chance. This is the world I'm stuck in.
