if the kings speech (aka Rocky: the pretentions british take) sweeps I'll...well, I will say meh and then jerk off to some porn. but it'll be an angry jerk off!

Title: Re: So the Oscars are on
Post by: cool breeze on February 27, 2011, 08:51:40 PM: Same, but I've assessed the situation and this is the better outcome. Give more awards to people who want to shoot film, not tech wank.
Title: Re: So the Oscars are on
Post by: Mr. Gundam on February 27, 2011, 08:54:46 PM: I just want Exit Through the Gift Shop to win. Banksy's speech would be incredible if he'd actually show up. I bet he'd have Thierry show up on his behalf.

but hey he really was quite good in the fighter. how he won over ruffalo or rush blows mind though
Title: Re: So the Oscars are on
Post by: Mr. Gundam on February 27, 2011, 09:37:11 PM: I have no interest in ever seeing The Fighter. It looks like the epitome of generic.
Title: Re: So the Oscars are on
Post by: TakingBackSunday on February 27, 2011, 09:38:01 PM: no, that's the king's speech

fighter was a pretty good movie. bale and amy adams were the best part.
Title: Re: So the Oscars are on
Post by: Mr. Gundam on February 27, 2011, 09:39:24 PM: King's Speech was good, but I don't feel like it was amazing or anything.

None of the best pictures noms really do much for me this year. True Grit was incredibly well made, though.
Title: Re: So the Oscars are on

Title: Re: So the Oscars are on
Post by: cool breeze on February 27, 2011, 09:42:22 PM: I think King's Speech will win, though, it's dead even with The Social Network and they might just pull an Avatar and decide against the popularer choice. I would be shocked if Fincher doesn't get best Director.

I had a feeling Exit wouldn't win. It was the only documentary up for nomination that wasn't concerned with some real world problem.

Inside Job was really good, though. Exit was my favorite film of 2010 and I wanted it to get the award, but Inside Job was deserving of the win.

Title: Re: So the Oscars are on
Post by: Mupepe on February 28, 2011, 11:16:27 AM: Still haven't seen The King's Speech but it looks like typical Oscar bait. I would have preferred Black Swan, Inception or True Grit honestly. (Inception is just because I fucking love it, but I would have given it to Black Swan or True Grit). I haven't seen Winters Bone yet. I thought the awards were pretty spot on this year in most things. Especially technical awards.

Oh yeah, and to be honest, I'm really, really, really glad Exit Through the Gift Shop didn't win. I really don't see the appeal of that movie. I think most people just don't care about the subject. I certainly don't and this movie didn't change it.

Story of a King who learns to overcome his speech impediment with the help of a mentor to take his impromptu place on the throne.

Seriously? The synopsis sounds like it's written for the Oscars.

Like I said, I haven't seen it so I can't comment on the quality but it's practically screaming for award attention.
