What the hell is Osmosis Jones doing here? It's not a horrible movie, but it's just so...random.

Fucked it up big time. Could have been great, ended up being meh and forgettable C+

The General should be listed under 1926

There are some truly atrocious films here...most of them post-2000.

Tokyo Story (1953) The Last Emperor (1987) The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) Blade Runner (1982) Manhattan (1979) Boogie Nights (1997)

Blanchett deserves her raves. Stunning performance.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) Mulholland Dr. (2001) The Conversation (1974) Un Chien Andalou (1929) Nashville (1975) The Breakfast Club (1985) American Beauty (1999) The Exorcist (1973) The Marriage of Maria Braun (1978) Cabaret (1972) La Jetée (1962)

Loved it. Allen's best film in decades, and that includes MiP, which I enjoyed a lot. Blanchett is STAGGERINGLY good; I have a hard time believing anyone's going to top her this year. Sally Hawkins is nothing to sneeze at either; hopefully Cate doesn't overshadow her completely. Darkly humorous and incredibly entertaining. Only flaws are some minor implausibilities, especially toward the end. A-, 8.5/10

District 9 is fine, but it would have not been a BP nominee in a trillion years if not for the idiotic 10-nominee rule in 2009.

Streep has moved to supporting. http://www.goldderby.com/news/4656/meryl-streep-oprah-winfrey-oscars-entertainment-news-386149257.html

Lame weekend

Absolute garbage for Planes

Streep Blanchett Dench Thompson Adams (perennial loser strikes again) Leaning toward Blanchett FTW with Streep and Dench as obvious contenders.

Oprah is in, mark my words.

Very close, just like it did last year. If Jack Nevada had voted again, it would have made it I'm sure.

Scream was very close to making it this year.

I'm trying really hard to find a single one but I can't. TBH I rarely even see movies with reviews that bad. I guess I sort of enjoy Hook (31%) and Scary Movie 3 (36%).

Boring numbers.

The entire idea is completely moronic. Even if you separate them, who gets to decide what movies do and don't get these special theatres? Not to mention that it's HUGELY disrespectful to the people who made the movie. A big no.

Agreed. Riva was not even close. Chastain was still second.

Don't listen to ChD, Wall-E was the correct answer. 2012 Life of Pi 2011 The Tree of Life 2010 Black Swan 2009 Inglourious Basterds 2008 WALL-E 2007 There Will Be Blood 2006 Pan's Labyrinth 2005 Brokeback Mountain, I guess (the entire year is a waste) 2004 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2003 Return of the King*** 2002 The Pianist 2001 Mulholland Dr. 2000 Requiem for a Dream 1999 American Beauty*** I'll add more later

I don't really think it's fair to compare every horror movie to Exorcist and Poltergeist. It's like comparing every romance to Gone with the Wind. Nobody's claiming TC is an all-time classic but it's far more effective than the average crap the genre produces.

Count me in as another person who should have put Lion in Winter on his list.

I know it's a tech category so nobody cares, but I still can't get over the fact The Day After Tomorrow was snubbed for VFX.
