I was probably going to go to a party. But then none of my rooting interests were nominated.

The Best Picture category should be renamed to "Most Artsy and Overambitious Picture". No "The Dark Knight". No "Wall-E". No "The Wrestler". Instead we get "The Reader" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". :puke:
I'll take my football.

14. I just think the most deserving should be rewarded |
|
if at the expense of the glamor.
I gotta say though, I don't know what would be more glamorous than a Dark Knight or Wall-E best pic nomination.
But "The Reader"?!?!?!? ARGH!!!

20. It's the kind of movie that made me think |
|
"It is so obviously and shamelessly trying to get a Best Picture nod." Sadly, the Academy took the bait. Winslet elevated it as much as she could, but I personally hated it.

22. (Panics) No no no no no no |

Not all of them. I loved Milk and Frost/Nixon, and I haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire, but I hear it's great. I actually agreed with last year's Best Picture. I just think they sacrificed two slots for films that fit the mold I described.

24. Ronny, tell me your picks. |
|
This is the first year we haven't seen most, if not all, of the nominees for the big awards. So I'd like to hear your opinions. Thanks. :)

25. I know. A film made by the production company I work for is nominated for 2 Oscars. |
|
The economy for film work is shot (there is no money...especially for indie films), but we've got calls coming in left-and-right (and still no money) with great offers based on the nominations. I hope it wins, maybe then we can get some $$$ to start shooting again.
I didn't work on the project and have been asked to not ID it. It's a good liberal movie though. If we win, I'll be over the moon and gloating then everybody will know what film it was. They're big nominations though, not small piddling categories. :woohoo:
Seriously, the Oscars can't come fast enough for me...I may have no fingernails left by then.

but the Oscars has nicely-dressed men, and women in cool dresses. It's a toss-up.
