and no one really cares but we watch them anyway and get angry for no reason

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!

I'm rooting for the social network in the main categories, and black swan for several miscellaneous ones. social network was my favorite this year by far.

christian bale might be getting an award ... for acting

really

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #3 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:29:23 PM »

christian bale t'ain't all bad. he was pretty great the the machinist, and he truly was the best part of the fighter other than amy adams.

he won't win though

I can't fathom who watches the infantile blather on the red carpet before the show.

Boogie · « **Reply #5 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:38:12 PM »

Not that the show itself is much better, of course.

Boogie · « **Reply #6 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:38:40 PM »

That being said: James Franco in a tux.

ah, the traditional "technical awards nobody cares about whose winners always ramble on too long, awkwardly..." $:-\$

Boogie · « **Reply #9 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:47:30 PM »

hehe "Wally Fister"

cool breeze · « **Reply #10 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:48:21 PM »

You saw James Franco's wiener through spandex at one point. You really could make out the shape and everything.

ok, Wally Pfister won for Inception

Hating on 3D and filming in IMAX

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #11 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:49:30 PM »

eh, I'm surprised Black Swan didn't win that to be honest

cool breeze · « **Reply #12 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.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #13 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.

Boogie · « **Reply #14 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:56:12 PM »

Who let Dick Clark present an Oscar? oh wait....

Kirk Douglas, in his 90s, went up there and was intentionally wasting time because he could.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #17 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:59:09 PM »

The Fighter is the only Best Picture nom I haven't seen, but Melissa Leo was fantastic in Frozen River, so I'm guessing she was deserving.

Boogie · « **Reply #18 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:59:41 PM »

What won the Raspberry awards this year?

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:29:12 PM »

In a Better World and Biutiful are the only of the foreign noms that have even been release in Seattle yet... they do this every single year. WTF.

Christian Bale has an oscar

really

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #26 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:35:49 PM »

wow I was wrong

but hey he really was quite good in the fighter. how he won over ruffalo or rush blows mind though

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #27 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:37:11 PM »

I have no interest in ever seeing The Fighter. It looks like the epitome of generic.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #28 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.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #29 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.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #30 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:40:27 PM »

this year's nominees are leagues and LEAGUES better than last year's. avatar was favored to win. ENOUGH SAID.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #31 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:41:40 PM »

The films were good, but I'm not drawn to any of them this year.

cool breeze · « **Reply #32 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.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #33 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:43:11 PM »

C'mon Trent. How cool would that be.

Boogie · « **Reply #34 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:43:15 PM »

Allright: Go Social Network for Original Score!

edit: woot!

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #35 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:44:22 PM »

Trent is half way to an EGOT!

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #36 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:46:28 PM »

wow, I'm so fucking happy for trent. incredible score.

cool breeze · « **Reply #37 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:52:58 PM »

lol every win for inception has a chunk of the speech just praising Nolan

the academy didn't get the memo

the oscars are pussies. give it to a guy who tells us what we already know instead of giving it instead to a wonderful documentary (maybe?) from banksy.

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.
