  1. Well, yeah, but she had a character who literally made the same joke throughout the entire movie. It was just her, being fat and obnoxious. I mean, if that's the case, where's the love for Mike Myers as Fat Bastard? He was pretty much the same character, only funnier. Why don't comedians get nominated all the time for the job they do pulling off comedy? Ferrell, Carrey, Segel, and more tend to carry their comedies based on their delivery. Granted, you get the occasional James Franco or Robert Downey Jr nomination, but they got credit largely for doing something so different so well (black guy for Downey Jr, stoner for Franco).
  2. I didn't even know who she was in Bridesmaids until I looked her up to be completely baffled. What in the hell did she do in that movie other than be fat and obnoxious? She played the part well, and got a few laughs, but she was a one-note character that isn't hard to pull off. The idea that she is getting Supporting Actress nods is absurd. I mean, as good as the movie was, nobody had an awards-worthy performance except MAYBE Wiig, and even that's a stretch.
  3. I do not have a nose and I talk like THIIIIIS! GAAAAAHHH! Great ACTIIIIIINNNG!
  4. Rickman, yeah, but Fiennes doesn't deserve shit for DH2.Oh, and St. Louis is probably the best all around group of nominations I've seen yet.
  5. I can't give a unit of time, but I will say 2 posts at the most.
  6. Dragon Tattoo's chances of a nod are fucked. It's getting literally zero awards attention from critics. I can just hope I enjoy it at this point... All I can see it getting attention for at this point is some technical nods, Cinematography, and Score.
  7. All the annoying children are now off the show, I don't really know who to pull for. The woman is a great singer, but she doesn't really captivate me. I love that the rocker guy made it this far without even almost being eliminated, but I can't really picture him winning. It would be hilarious and awesome if Marcus went on to win, since he is now the definitive underdog.Overall, this was a great episode. Marcus and Rachel's performances were both fantastic, and holy hell at the ending. It was almost such a cool twist and so ironic that it could be in a movie. Besides Rachel being annoyingly manipulative because she's just this adorable little girl with the voice of an angel, who has to sweet talk the judges and tear up during her performance, you had Randy back up Marcus, giving him a bit of momentum, and then Paula and Simon go with Rachel, and the entire crowd chanting her name, and Nicole just couldn't send Marcus home, so she passed it to America, who were clearly 100% behind Rachel, and then in a a shocking twist, America voting put Rachel in last! Marcus advances! And of course, her whole shocked expression and kneel down into tears was gold.
  8. The Other Guys, Ferrell's best comedy since Anchorman.
  9. I can't read this thread as I'm afraid it's filled with spoilers, but I just started watching this, finished Season 1 recently. Like the other CBS sit-coms, it has a killer app marketable character who gets plenty of laughs and not a ton of depth (Barney), but unlike those other shows, the supporting cast is just as strong and the show has a good overlapping storyline. One of the best sitcoms since the 90s.
  10. My concerns about Dragon Tattoo not meshing with awards season are being confirmed.However, largely predictable outside of the unexpected Drive and Win Win love. Good to see that.
  11. I kind of doubt Hill will ever top Cyrus unless he takes a major overhaul of his approach to his career, which is unlikely with him just debuting a new TV show.
  12. Brad Pitt was the best part of the movie, followed by the writing.Hill was fine, but he certainly wasn't the best part of the movie, and he sure as hell wasn't Oscar worthy, and even if he had been, he'd never be nominated because he's Jonah fucking Hill. It wasn't even his best performance, which goes to Cyrus, and then maybe Superbad.
  13. Thanks.Travod, do you plan on even listening to any other soundtracks?
  14. Well, would you look at that. Learn something new every day.I need to catch up on scores on Rhapsody, what would you say are the best ten so far? (You seem to be a reliable source when it comes to this sort of thing)
  15. I do find it funny that two new singing competitions that are both far better than Idol premiered this year.
  16. After hearing that Dragon Tattoo is even better, and significantly so, than TSN, I am sure it will deserve recognition, but at 3 hours I don't imagine it to be likely.
  17. True, but at least an adult can handle it better, and maybe sustain a successful career, as Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Chris Daughtry have.These kids will make an album and fall off the face of the earth.
