The guy who played the Weidelvoss twins (Or whatever their name was) should get best supporting. I mean, he played twins...not bad!"They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

Alright, is everybody up watching the announcement of the Oscar nominations this morning? This guy from the Academy is possibly the least dynamic screen presence in the history of television. Also Mo'Nique seems exceedingly nervous.
Best Picture nominations are as follows:
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
The King's Speech
127 Hours
The Social Network
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter's Bone
Best Director:
Darren Aronofsky
David O. Russell
David Fincher
Tom Hooper
Coen Bros.
12 nominations for King's Speech leads the pack and the complete list is at Oscars.com. So every year, my goal is to have already seen all the Best Picture nominees by the time they make the announcement. Mission accomplished!
Also, if you look above in this thread, I believe I'm 100% on my Best Picture predictions, although I missed out on calling David O. Russell for Director.Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...
None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.
I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

No the town. Bummer. I was hoping it would win best picture over the digital network which I didn't think was all that great. I guess I'll root for the fighter now.

Jeremy Renner did get nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Town though, which is pretty cool as I thought he was the best part of that movie.Originally posted by falafel View PostKids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

I'm changing my pick for best supporting actress to Hailee Steinfeld. I figured she would be considered a lead actress.
But my other picks ("Social Network"; Firth; Portman; Bale; Aronofsky) stand.
GL, I still need to see "127 Hours", and since I've seen the other Best Picture nominees, it's time to start hunting down the best foreign films and best documentaries."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

Agreed. I've seen Restrepo and Exit Through the Gift Shop because both were on Netflix instant. I'm not familiar with Gasland and Waste Land at all. Are any of the other docs available?Originally posted by BoylenOver View Post
As for the foreign films, I think Dogtooth just came out on DVD and Biutiful will be playing the Broadway soon (along with the animated film The Illusionist.)
I hope the Tower Theater does their screening of all of the animated and live action shorts again this year.Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

I know there's not way TS3 doesn't win the Best Animated Feature award, but my vote would go to How to Train Your Dragon. TS3 should not be in the best picture category. That's pretty ridiculous, IMO.Comment

Me too. Except that I think Shooter is an awesome movie.Originally posted by Surfah View Post

Hitchens complains about the ahistorical "The King's Speech" and its nomination. Taking a few digs at Churchill (compared to his portrayal in the film) but mostly at the royal family and their appeasement of the Nazis and Fascists (according to Hitchens)

Oh come on, you admittedly only liked Anti-Christ because the NY Times said you should. Multiple writers from the NYT loved Black Swan -- dig up some reviews and I'll await your reformed opinion.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostSo Russell...what do you love about music?

AC got mixed reviews. I read some very hateful reviews in the NYT that called it misogynistic. I think they both have gotten mixed reviews, actually. I know one NYT reviewer gave BS a check.Originally posted by MarkGrace View Post
There are lots of well received movies I don't like, such as anything with Robin Williams in a serious role.Last edited by SeattleUte; 01-25-2011, 08:05 PM.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
