CrankThatCrabtree Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 This was a bad year to expand to 10 movies, Inglourious B should win I think, although I'm about to buy A Hurt Locker and see how I feel about this after I watch it. District 9 - hated it, I'd get into it for a while, then I would get bored for moments, I also hate alien movies. Avatar - If you need to go 3D to make your movie appealing then chances are it doesn't have the merit to be mentioned on a best picture list. The Blind Side - Really? charming story and all but definitely not top 10, and if it is then they should shrink the list back to 5. Up - LOL you are an animated movie, get outta here. I'll be okay of Inglourious B doesn't win best movie, but if anyone but Christoph Waltz wins Best Supporting Actor I'll break something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 if anyone but Christoph Waltz wins Best Supporting Actor I'll break something. I am right with you, Daddy-O ... best acting performance in any category this year. 'heard the reason the Best Picture nominees was expanded this year was to draw more viewers ... the logic being that people will tune in if a movie they have "heard of" is nominated. That is what the People's Choice Awards and the MTV Movie Awards are for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyabd4100 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Best Picture The Hurt Locker Best Actor Jeff Bridges- Crazy Heart Best Actress Sandra Bullock- The Blind Side Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz- Inglorious #### (This should be the most sure bet) Best Supporting Actress Anna Kendrick - Up in the Air Best Director Kathryn Bigelow- The Hurt Locker Those are what I think will win. Inglorious #### should win for Best Picture and Best Director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 So.......... Kate Winslet and Sandra Bullock now own the same number of Oscars, huh? :ermm: WOW. It is Erin Brockovich all over again! Oh, well – at least they got it right with Jeff Bridges and Christoph Waltz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stSuperScot Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Did you see The Blind Side, Cheapy? Read the book? If you had done both you would see what a fantastic job Sandra did in playing that role and why the Academy awarded her the Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 I saw The Blind Side, 1stSuperScot, and found it to be trite and emotionally manipulative. How many more inspirational-sports-movies-based-on-a-true-story does the world need? :w00t: I know everyone loves a Southern Female spitfire, but I found nothing special about her performance. "Don't you dare lie to me!" "You're changing that boy's life" "No, he's changin' mine". Golden! :whome: Meh -- to each their own, I guess BTW -- Ms. Bullock is the first actor/actress to win an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year. She was also in that nugget known as All About Steve.

camuchs Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Was I the only one that did not see Farrah Fawcett acknowledged in the memorial segment of the Oscars? :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETIREDFAN1 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 You won't, either....Farrah along with Jon Voight are the rare members of hollyweird who actually love (loved) this country and what it stood for before the current junta came to power...... Any one out there in Smoaky nations who wants to get an oscar nomination can make a movie about that murdering communist che gueverra....make it a sympathetic portrait of a misunderstood freedom fighter....throw in a lot of anti-American sentiment and make the USA look like the greatest evil in the world.....you are guaranteed a nomination for Best Picture......

cheaptrick77 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Geez :no: So . . . only people who "hated America" were included in that memorial montage? So . . . the huge round of applause Charlton Heston received in last year's segment was because he "hates America" Out of respect, it probably would have been a good idea to include Farrah Fawcett -- even though she did not have a notable movie career -- but I cannot bring myself to this notion that it was some grand conspiracy to excluded her because she loves America. Sorry.

cheaptrick77 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Have you forgotten about The Wiz ??? :rofl: I thought that was a little strange, too, for the Oscars. Hey -- I am not arguing against the fact that Farrah Fawcett probably should have been included -- I just don't think it was for the vindictive reasons mentioned above. I think it was either an oversight or one of the final cuts of a timed presentation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETIREDFAN1 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 You tend to see hollyweird through rose colored glasses......take them off and catch just how ugly and out of touch they really are...... :saint: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 ^ nice try ... I simply have the uncynical ability to SEPARATE the art from the political views :sleeping: of the film makers. 'see you at the picture shows! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camuchs Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I tried to forget it. The Wiz? the wiz. :no: I doubt if "the wiz" is what qualified MJ - It was more likely due to singing an Oscar nominated song about a rat. Farrah was probably in more movies than MJ. I can only think of Cannonball Run & The Apostle right now, but I know there were at least a dozen.. and they were probably better movies than The Wiz or Ben for that matter. I don't think it was about who loves America - I think that they actually forgot about her, esp since another bigger star died the same day. I really think they forgot everything that happened before 2pm that day. Just MHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
