The Oscar's thread

Recommended Posts

So now that the Oscars are done is time for discussion. Opinions on the winners and loser.

Who should had won? Who should had lost? and why was George Clooney so sour?

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I think Inglorious Bastards should have won everything it was nominated for (and even stuff it wasn't) and that Brad Pitt deserves an Oscar for his role.

In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum.

The Hurt Locker did and IMO it was a better movie. Not to say that Inglorious Basterds wasn't great, but from a technical standpoint the Hurt Locker awards were well deserved.

Christoph Waltz was excellent on that movie though, he stole the spotlight from everyone else.

I think District 9 should have won Best Picture. Considering how good the movie was for it's budget.

Alpha Protocol = Best game ever created!!! EVER!!!

Can't wait!!! :D

Finally Jeff Bridges won an Oscar. He should've won one already way back when he did The Big Lebowsky.

 

I haven't seen this movie though :)

I really liked district 9 and am to but it when I have some spare cash. But the last part of the film was utterly without any content besides flying bullets. Which was a real shame considering how nuanced I felt the first part was.

I'm no fan of Avatar, but it already won where it counts the most.

 

 

I'm not, in any way, contesting that.

I never saw Hurt Locker, perhaps I should...

Actually, I don't agree there. Cameron achieved exactly what he wanted. Ridiculous amounts of money, that is.

He wouldn't mind it, of course, but it was just an extra. He has a couple already.

Wouldn't had won even if he wanted to. This year's Oscar theme was "first time winners"

If I was a movie director, I'd want to make a decent amount of money, not a crap load.

And also get good recognition.

The Oscar isn't exactly the most respected award in the industry.

 

 

Avatar not winning the big Oscars doesn't look bad for James Cameron, rather it looks well for the Academy. Low standards and all that.
