I really thought this was the most predictable Oscar Awards, ever. Sincerely.

And from what I've heard - Yeah, everyone knew Bullock would win, but every person I've talked to who saw the movie -...

Feev - I'm pretty sure he means Gabourey Sidibe. The young woman who actually played Precious. She was up against Bullock, et al.

I must confess that I am happy it made it through other nominations like Avatar and Up in the Air.

And Christoph Waltz won Best Supporting Actor. :rock:[/QUOTE]

You and me, both, my friend....

Hurt Locker won Best Film and Best Director at the BAFTA awards ( UK's Oscar equiv ).

Ray?
Sam, you felt Ray was a better movie than Million Dollar Baby?
I am actually super surprised. I found Ray to be an over-indulgent, lengthy movie. And I didn't think it was much more than...

O - the Academy decided on a 10 film Best Picture field this year. :rolleyes:

First time since, like, 1943, I think.

Personally, don't get me started on how rediculous it is.

Oh Feev.... from your words to the Academy's voting !!!!!!!!

:thumbsup:

Best Picture?

My money is on Up In The Air or Hurt Locker.

My whole thing is ... how can you NOT want to see a movie called the "most elaborate Thundercats episode ever made" ?!?!? :lol:

I was just checking Rotten Tomatoes and Avatar is doing great - however, when you look at the rottens... most every one points out the weak storytelling.

Sam - I agree with some of your list, but certainly not all - Crash and Million Dollar Baby were both excellent.

No big surprises at all in the noms today. ( except me not being able to load the...

I've seen all of them, and honestly - with the exception of Near Dark and Strange Days ( both of which I loved ) - they were only okay. She tends to have "moments" in her movies which are great, but...

LOS ANGELES – Kathryn Bigelow and "The Hurt Locker" became official awards-season front-runners Saturday...

SS - Yup, watched some of the SAGs and then checked the winners online.

I think you might be right about Bullock ( thought I don't agree she should win ) ... I may be eating my words about that...

Precious
A Serious Man

SS - Hey, get your sister a membership and have her post !! :lol:

SS - I love your list, as well. Well done. I love that you included A Simple Man. Bravo. District 9 is the long shot for a nom, but I'd love to see it included. I also think, yeah, I think Star Trek...

ola - It's funny really.

There used to be this "thought" in Hollywood that if you gifted enough people, and made enough friends, you could practically buy yourself a Golden Globe.

I first...

Here's my deal with the GG's ... it's kind of a joke, really. It's like the opinion of only 80 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press. 80.

Where as the Academy Awards - it's more like 2000+...
