If I had to bet now, I'd say this will be the clear winner at this year's Oscars for basically everything.

I hope it lives up to the hype, and I expect it will. I also hope people don't dismiss it as race-baiting or Oscar-baiting - it will be so much more than that!

I hate to call it "Oscar bait" because it has such a negative connotation. McQueen is far better than that. But it should win a shitload for it's subject matter alone.

McQueen is legit. No doubt this movie is legit as well.

I think I am going to detest this film unfortunately.

i dont consider oscar bait a negative term in all cases. there are some movies that are written with oscars in mind (like cinderella man and lincoln). this is not one of those. it will win a lot of oscars, and i think it will be good.
when i say oscar bait, i mean it has a lot of characteristics that the academy likes

Agreed. This film looks great, and I especially love the cast.

Ugh...
I thought McQueen would get someone better than Zimmer....he's wrong for this type of movie imo..

Really good book. If I went to the movies I'd go for sure. Will definitely catch on Blu-ray

"12 Years a Slave" offers no false Hollywood catharsis"
Refreshing.
Refreshing.
