So the Oscars...

[thenumberthirteen]

I'd love Inglorious Basterds to win best pic, but it won't happen (my money's on The Hurt Locker).

I'd also really like to watch the ceremony, but I don't have Sky Movies so I'm shit out of luck. Also they start at 1am.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Two words:

Hurt Locker

 

[reg42]

Never really watch it, because I try not to be a corporate tool.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

I don't really trust the Academy Awards but if it's going to be Avatar, I'm going to flip out.
Anything - Basterds, The Hurt Locker, District 9, Up in the Air - but Avatar.
Screw you, James.

 

[flamingjimmy]

I've never understood the fascination with the Oscars, or any awards ceremony. Why on earth would I want anyone to win an Oscar? None of my friends or family have been nominated. I couldn't care less who gets one and who doesn't.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Never let Avatar win a fucking award please. I want to find the guys who wrote the film. Seriously? UNOBTAINUM?! SERIOUSLY?! UNOBTANIUM. UNOB-FUCKING-TANIUM. THIS IS THE BEST YOU LAZY FUCKS COULD COME UP WITH?!

The only award it should get is special effects, and that's it.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Two words:

Hurt Locker

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. I like you already.

Off topic: Anyone find it hilarious that Bigelow was Cameron's ex-wife, and they're competing for the Oscars?

 

[The DSM]

Not bothered.

Its mostly ran by film elitists as far as I can tell.

And I dont watch Movies all that much.

 

[Frequen-Z]

Two words:

Hurt Locker

This. I liked Avatar, but Hurt Locker is leagues above it storywise.

Still, I loved District 9 more than any other film from last year.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

There are absolutely no movies among the nominies that I feel the need to root for.

Ponyo isn't even nominated for best animated feature, for fuck's sake.

Thats because for one: Ponyo sucks, and two: The Oscars hate anime more than I do.

Best animated picture has been fedexed to Up!, even though Coraline deserves to win it.

 

[ygetoff]

The Hurt Locker should win every single award that it is nominated for, and some that it isn't.

 

[Valksy]

Would love to see District 9 win best pic but I suspect it will be Avatar and that the decision will be full of industry politics - Avatar cost some 500million dollars to make. It needs to be a financial and critical success to justify that.

 

[soapyshooter]

if Avatar wins, im boycotting the Oscars for the rest of my life.

District 9, Hurt locker or Up in the Air for best picture. I dont give a shit about the rest.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Never let Avatar win a fucking award please. I want to find the guys who wrote the film. Seriously? UNOBTAINUM?! SERIOUSLY?! UNOBTANIUM. UNOB-FUCKING-TANIUM. THIS IS THE BEST YOU LAZY FUCKS COULD COME UP WITH?!

Don't want to sound like a hater here but absolutely seconded.
That movie insulted my intelligence and if it wins anything, I'll be severely dissapointed.
On a side note, is that Hurt Locker thingy any good? It's really difficult to find here.

 

[elcamino41383]

Oh, I'm also convinced that Inglorious Basterds needs to never win anything, ever. I thought the movie was god awful. Kill Bill aside, I feel that Tarantino hasn't done anything worth watching. EVER.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Kill Bill aside, I feel that Tarantino hasn't done anything worth watching. EVER.

Well that's polarizing, I felt that Kill Bill was his absolute worst.
What about Pulp Fiction? Do you hate that either?

 

[Casual Shinji]

There are absolutely no movies among the nominies that I feel the need to root for.

Ponyo isn't even nominated for best animated feature, for fuck's sake.

Thats because for one: Ponyo sucks, and two: The Oscars hate anime more than I do.

Wich is why Spirited Away won an oscar and why Howl's Moving Castle was nominated for one. Yeah, the Oscars sure do hate Japanese animation.

And I guess you're allowed to have your own opinion even if it's a wrong one.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I want Hurt Locker for best picture, and Sandra Bullock to get jack shit. She's a crap actress and was crap in The Blind Side (which was crap).

Say what you like about avatar being beautiful or Up being touching (I love that film, but I keep thinking it would be funnier if Carl was replaced with Herbert The Pervert, then it really would be touching), but Hurt Locker is awesome, properly, awesomely, awesome.
