Oscars Discussion - Nominations in First Post - Red Carpet Time!

[RichWS]

I still have a hard time seeing PTA winning the whole thing. Just one of those feelings. If he ends up like Kubrick, so be it!

I have this weird feeling this will finally be his time. 5 years in the making, amazing cast. If PSH, Joaquin, and Adams gets noms, he has a great chance at director at least. His writing is LONG overdue.

Let's hope!

Or No Country for Old Men? Or Slumdog Billionaire?!

I won't comment on No Country for Old Men, but Slumdog Millionaire is definably remembered by people. It pops up in pop culture a lot and if you bring it up in conversation, many people will remember it. Slumdog Millionaire made $140 million after all.

2012 looks like it can be an exciting year, but I'm counting on Lincoln winning big.Anyway, glad The Artist won. I felt it was a very good movie that gets more hate than it deserves because it is a B&W silent film.

i'm sooo happy for jean dujardin, i love that guy , he's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: c'est incroyable !!

[rockNrollaDIM]

Can I say it again... Angelina... Amazing.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Btw jean dujardin is mad cool.

[acsc1312]

Dujardin and Hazanavicius are DILFs

[Dementeleus]

The only thing against LINCOLN is that it's pretty unusual for the assumed frontrunner (this far out) to win.Who was thinking about THE ARTIST last year? Or HURT LOCKER a couple years ago?

[kayumanggi]

There were upsets. Cinematography, VFX and maybe Actress.

Me too! I thought for sure they'd give it to Clooney, but Dujardin was just so charming and held the entire movie on his shoulders. So happy to be wrong! And for once my two favorite movies of the bunch swept (Hugo and Artist).

I have to agree with both things. 2008 was great, but the nominees sucked.

Yeah that was the biggest WTF year ever for what was nominated, imo. And obviously most people agreed since after that they changed up the BP category.

We haven't even seen this film, we don't even know if it'll be good. That's your fanboy side speaking.

In any event, I find it hard to believe that the Academy will ever nominate a film about Batman for Best Picture. If they do, it's a longshot to win. Edited February 27, 2012 by rb02

If it's TDK level (which will be very hard for it to be) it will get nominated under the new BP rules. If it's more Batman Begins level, which I'm expecting, then I agree it won't.

Meryl Streep is a fuckin legend. Glad she won.

Didn't watch one second

Well, important things first. Jessica Chastain was best dressed for sure. McQueen can be hard to pull off but she did it well. I almost wish she had worn the unmodified version but I don't know if she could have pulled it off and better safe than sorry. Runner up would be Amy Adams at the Vanity Fair after party. That's the best i've ever seen her look. No one looked horrible but my worst dressed would be Melissa McCarthy. Being a bigger girl is no excuse. Runner up would be Rooney Mara. Bitch, there's a person called a tailor who will alter your dress so it fits right. The Oscars are the big time, get yourself together.Now that I have the important things out of the way the telecast itself was a boring mess. The days of Billy Crystal being a good host have long gone. He was painfully unfunny. I really could have done with less of those taped actor segments. If Hollywood had it's head any more up it's own ass it would suffocate. Also how did they have time for a circus break and not have time for a performance of the nominated songs? I wanted Man or Muppet dammit. Also, is Emma Stone really supposed to be funny and likeable? I don't get it at all...For the actual awards I can't argue with them seeing as I haven't seen all the nominees. Hugo deserved technical awards but it sucks for Harry Potter. They could have thrown the dog a bone. I'm happy for The Artist even though I haven't seen it yet. I'm sure it's the kind of movie I would enjoy. So yeah, everything awards wise was predictable and hard to argue with.Angelina Jolie, you're doing too much. Put that leg away. There is no need to act desperate, you're A list. Also, eat a sandwich.
