Why is Transformers not on that list?! This is EVILBORE'S Academy Award, right?!
This is a travesty.
I think I'm the only one here who actually liked no country more than there will be blood actually :-\
See the movie. I can understand why people wouldn't like it, but it's a great film. It's not particularly flashy I guess.
DDL's performance is beyond amazing. As I said in my acclaimed review, the performance is so good that you forget he's acting. He becomes the character

But there don't seem to be many nuances to that character. Should he be rewarded for playing that character perfectly, if that character wasn't that hard to play in the first place?I think I'm the only one here who actually liked no country more than there will be blood actually :-\
Well, Ebert agrees with you.

Miles Trahan called There Will Be Blood "the greatest movie in the last fifteen years" and gave it a score of 9.5/10. So, I dunno, if that movie wins, I'll :lol

How come you feel like you know about the character's nuances when you haven't even seen the movie?

The pacing is perfect? Mupepe is insane. It's good, but way overrated. I haven't seen There Will Be Blood, but I really have no interest. Don't like Paul Thomas Anderson and the folks I trust all say it's just a Daniel-Day Lewis vehicle. Pass.
Okay, so I just renamed the thread so I can ask:
WHY THE FUCK IS MILEY CYRUS AT THE OSCARS?
Nope. I really dislike the artfag circle jerk that Paul Thomas Anderson creates, and I just don't like his filmography in general. I almost bit the bullet to see There Will Be Blood for Daniel-Day Lewis, but when folks I trust told me the deal - I passed. I haven't seen enough legitimately good films to waste time on a director I actively dislike, even if it's a flawed, but decent vehicle for an amazing actor.

Michael Clayton.
Back in Clooney's ER days, I would ALWAYS have my mom take me to get my hair cut exactly like his. He such a sexy man omg :-*

I'm like 50-50 on PTA. Boogie Nights is one of the best movies of the 90s (no, really), Magnolia is an indulgent mess (with some great performances), Punchdrunk Love is at least mostly successful. Dude is clearly talented, and I like that he keeps doing projects so vastly different from each other, but at the same time, this tendency prevents me from getting into his hype queue.

You guys are on crack. Everyone I went with both times loved the pacing. Just relax and watch it. It never has any scene that gets you too worked up. It's steady the whole way through :bow :bow :bow
JAVIER!!! :rock:bow :bow totally deserved it

Not giving it to Ellen Page is just their way of seeming fair when they give Juno Best Picture. They can't have their favorite, but shitty, movie sweeping. That would look suspicious.
WHAT THE FUCK? GIVE A FUCKING AWARD TO CLOONEY YOU HOMOS!
BOURNE!! The best edited and mixed movie of the year!!

I can't wait to buy the Bourne Trilogy on the One True HD Format, Blu-rayTM
Propecia costs more than that!
Bloodwake, did you see La Vie en Rose? By all accounts, Cotillard went through an amazing transformation for the role of Edith Piaf. Everything I've read indicates she worked the hardest and deserved it the most.
Also, she's prettier than Ellen Page.

I dunno, I'm watching Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford right now, and this is one of the best photographed films I've seen in recent years. I'd be surprised if TWBB is better.

Just from TWO PICS I've seen in the GAF thread, it looked fucking amazing. I'll probably watch it either tonight or tomorrow. Plus, like Children of Men last year, it really wasn't nominated for anything else. Would've liked to see it win.

Now for best director...if the Coens win it, that means Juno will win best picture.
Awesome for the Coens. Kudos to them (should have won for FARGO)
HAHAA FUCK YOU JUNO DIDNT WIN
Seriously Ichi I'm tired of this let's let this movie win so we can bash Trahan/Yenor shit.
I personally don't think Fargo is in the upper echelon of Coen films.
I thought No Country was a top-tier Coen Bros, up there with Miller's Crossing and O Brother. FARGO is probably one of my least favorites of theirs...maybe even THE least favorite.

There Will Be Blood and No Country are both looking like good blind buys in HDNo Country has fucking amazing sound. If you have 5.1, don't pass it up.
The Man Who Wasn't There is one of my personal favorite Coen movies. I'm also unreasonably fond of The Hudsucker Proxy.
Also, this is just more proof Smooth Groove will be sucking wang within the year. he's in med school so he'll probably start by practicing on cadaver cock.

True story. The 1st cadaver I saw was a black guy with an absolutely gigantic member. I don't know if it was the formaldehyde or what but the thing just looked unnatural. It was at least a foot long and as wide as my forearm. The balls were the size of my clenched fist.
Are you done with Jesse James, TVC? Would you say it's this year's CoM?
As in:
Should've gotten more nominations, including a Best Picture nod.
Didn't win anything.
Should've won Best Cinematography

It's a really good movie, but it's a hard one to recommend without caveats, so I'm not surprised it was snubbed. It's very deliberately paced, aka the good kind of slow, and a lot of people don't like that. I'm also familiar with the subject matter, so there's that aspect--I might be finding it more interesting than someone going in blind.
So yeah, it's good. I really like it, but I wouldn't be surprised if many didn't. Awesome score, too.

I was thinking, when it comes out on DVD, I want to do an "assassination of Jesse James" movie marathon. I bet there's dozens of Jesse James movies.
yeah, but none of them are very historically accurate
jesse james was a piece of shit, really, and most films paint him as some sort of robin hoodish victim forced into a life of crime, which is utter bullshit

perhaps I am not being clear
yes, I saw the movie
I loved it. I can see watching it several times. Excellent blind buy. I was really impressed with Sam Rockwell - the scene at the end where he "becomes" Jesse onstage is downright eerie.
The Long Riders is a pretty good flick if you haven't seen it, Ichi.
like the guy who found $32,000 worth of gold Jesse buried
Just from what little I've seen of No Country through clips and such, I think Affleck should've picked up the Oscar. Playing an icy sociopathic killer like Bardem did is every actor's ice cream dream, like scoring a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow or a cripple role - there's almost no way they can be accused of overacting, and audiences/academy members eat that shit up. Affleck gave a very nuanced performance, I couldn't ever tell he was "ACTING."
Yeah, Zodiac should have at least picked up some nods, definitely.
I wonder when Nick Cave is going to write another movie. The Proposition was pretty well-received, right? Maybe he is getting more interested in movies in his old age. It's pretty awesome that he fronts the best best band in the world and the movies is like his side gig. <3 Nick.
Casey is awesome in the Assassination of Jesse James. Going in, I kinda had a bias about actors with the last name Affleck, but he's pretty awesome. I believe this is my first exposure to him.

I'm with Willco; I've never seen a P.T. Anderson movie I've liked. There Will Be Blood looks like it might be the first, but boy am I wary.
I can't believe there are people that don't like Boogie Nights. It is legitimately fuck awesome. It's PTA before he went over-the-edge indulgent.The Alfred Molina drug deal alone has enough awesome for five movies.

Magnolia has great performances and some great bits, but it's so ridiculous and indulgent that I can totally get people not liking it. I'm not even a fan of it, really. Punchdrunk Love is just a strange duck. I'm a sucker for dysfunctional humor, and I think PDL is an interesting example. It's no Todd Solondz or anything, but I dug it.
Michael Clayton was actually pretty good. It was like a suspensful Erin Brokovich!
Yeah but he has a better voice and face and isn't a doucheMichael Clayton was actually pretty good. It was like a suspensful Erin Brokovich!
Too bad George Clooney's boobs aren't as nice as Julia's.
