because fox has it rigged that the girl from American Idol will win best actress, its part of a promotional tie-in.

ok, so i rented this movie last weekend but only watched like the first half. not becuase i hated it, i was just tired. but i want to know if any angelenos caught the tribute to LA googie diners. the chicken bucket was from Dinah's, and the first diner they stopped at had Pann's menus. im wondering if this was a theme throughout the movie?

the biggest Oscar sin is that Leo DeCaprio is nominated for best actor for a roll with THE worst accent ever on film (Ok, Keanu's in Dracula was worse) Leo's S. African accent sounds like me trying to do an Austrailian accent with 8 beers in me...mind you, I didnt see "blood diamond" but from what I have seen, he could channel Marlon Brando and Sir Lawrence O'livier and that accent would make him look like the lead in a Midwest Community College production of Hamlet...

I actually enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine ... what can I say, the grandfather character was goddamned hilarious.

But Best Picture?

Will Smith v. Forrest Whitaker is a tough call, but I hope either one of them gets it.

I actually think Whitaker acted out of his mind in Scotland.

I thought it was a great film. Even better if you have some context about the period and history of Amin, which I read up on afterward. It was playing at the Ritz then, but should be hitting major theaters soon I heard.

I really liked this movie. I saw some taiwan boot leg of it that was in english with english sub titles that you couldnt remove and i still liked it. there was plunty of original not recycled comedy in this film. definetly worthy of best picture. movies this year were shit.
the rest nominated for best picture i either i have problems with or havent seen/heard of.

Wonderful film. A bit too "showtuny" for my taste homes, and I think you would agree, but certainly worthy of Best Picture nomination, IMO.

I remember when Cahoots (off of the strut) got a few of us passes to see The Departed before it came out and they showed the trailer for Blood Diamond. Almost everyone in the place laughed their asses off when they first heard Leo.

But... You should watch the movie. It's a really good film. Pretty damn moving and well done.

Babel was one of my favorite pictures of the year. But best is a subjective opinion word. And awards like these are literally industry hand jobs. I could give a fuck less about any of these award shows. It's all just biased propaganda.

Babel

Babel is this year's Crash.

"THE ACADEMY IS REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE BY VOTING FOR THIS FILM WITH A MESSAGE"

Ugh.

Young_Phonics

crash was good, but i wasn't really feeling how people where toting as same groundbreaking film on racism in America.

FYI, Children of Men was the best movie of the year. It's not even a discussion.

Oh and Crash sucked !

Haven't seen Blood Diamond and with that line "Bling Bang" I never will. I agree. He was really good in The Departed. The frantic pill-popping role really fit him. Much better than The Aviator.

See, the problem here is that you're praising Leo di Caprio and passing off what was perhaps the best Hollywood sleeper film of the year.




Next we're gonna be hearing about how Halle Berry should be up for lifetime achievement award... but seriously, I heard the Departed was good, and I'm sure Leo is up to snuff.

Little miss was ok. Not sure I could ever watch it again tho. Far from best picture.

little miss was friggin horrible. I hated it. the only funny dude in it was the grandfather and they killed him off way to soon. Shit was written badly, i couldnt tell if they were tying to get all deep and serious or try to be funny, the plot was chessy, the ending was gaye. I hated every piece of it except the grandpa sniffing heroin in the old folks home, and him cracking jokes. It just was realllllllly overhyped and imo was a waist of bandwidth downloading it.

"you don't speak because of friedrich nietzsche?"


that had to be the sureshot winning line of that movie. one of my all time faves. it's a really deep movie with alot going on, you gotta pay alot of attention to get most of it.
