Clue #1 that War Horse is a total Oscar bait movie: that goddamn 14 karat gold font at the end of its trailer. It’s even got a glint, for Christ’s sake! That gold font is made out of the melted down Oscar that Spielberg is expecting. It’s literally like Spielberg followed an Academy checklist - period costumes, check. Animals, check. War, check. Death, check. John Williams score, check. British accents, check. Middle class triumph, check. Like, keep it in your pants, Spielsy. The Oscar that is. It’s sticking out of  your pocket. Because the Academy is totally gunna eat that shit up.
