Gotta love Christoph Waltz. He really left you feeling creepy in Basterds.

 

[CTF]

Yeah, I'm glad Waltz got the nomination.

Not sure about QT, though.

Well, looks like I can go to bed now.

 

[Solo4114]

Can't be arsed. Sorry, but I just view most of these awards shows as a complete farce.

 

[Probe Droid]

Ditto. And how can there be 10 best pic noms but only 5 for director. Did the other 5 films make themselves? Stupid.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Gotta love Christoph Waltz. He really left you feeling creepy in Basterds.

He played it really intelligent, nasty. Wouldn't want to go up against an enemy like that.

Hope he wins.

 

[Eopie Herder]

He played it really intelligent, nasty. Wouldn't want to go up against an enemy like that.

Hope he wins.

I'd like to see him win too, despite the movie he was in. He was the only good thing to come out of that steaming pile.

 

[Kylash]

glad to see District 9 in there

 

[Jack Bauer]

Matt DAY-MON!



tough choices. Can't wait to watch. Thanks for posting.

 

[Nataku]

District 9 and Inglorious Basterds? While I like both movies, I don't think either is best movie material.

I guess they needed something to fill 10 nominations.

 

[saxe coburg]

nothing for Moon? :unsure

 

[Lancer]

well my picks.

Best Supporting Actress:
Maggie Gyllenhaal in Crazy Heart

Best Actor:
George Clooney in Up in the Air

but you just know morgan freeman is going to get it as the politically correct vote.

Best Director:
Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker

I think this is fair. cameron's is technically good and has a lot of work to get all th at stuff on screen, he's had the vision to makei t happen, but I think Bigelow delivers a good film that pulls no punches and is timely in its message and themes.

Best Motion Picture:
District 9

 

[Qui-Gonzalez]

That whole Best Director thing is just a Battle of the Exes.

 

[foxbatkllr]

I haven't seen Inglorious Basterds but District 9 definitely is not deserving of a best picture nomination. It was decent and maybe even good, but not best picture material. I think they just have way too many nominations for best picture.

 

[Probe Droid]

Agreed. District 9 was mediocre beyond belief. It looked great and started off smart, but decayed into an average actioner half way through. Disappointing.

 

[The Stig]

You're all entitled to your wrong opinions.

 

[Probe Droid]

And so are you :lol

 

[The Stig]

Except mine are right because my text is in bold!

 

[the_eli]

Either way, all deserve applause. Its a huge honor for all those nominated and tho we may dispute some, today, they are feeling on top of the world.

***CONGRATS FOR THE OSCAR NOMINEES OF 2010***

 

[The Dude]

10 movies for best picture?

Has that always been the case or is that something new this year?

Did you see Up! was nominated for Best picture and Best Animated Picture?

And you know how predictable the Academy is....

Up! will win hands down on the Animated side because it got nominated for Best Picture.

It will not win Best Picture because that was just a nod in order for the shoe in for Best Animated.

The Oscars have gotten so predictable.

Just like what they did for LOTR. They waited until all three were done and made the Oscars following Return of the King the "LOTR Awards Show".

I would have hated to be nominated for anything that year. You were screwed because you knew they were going to give it to LOTR for the body of work.

I always thought that was messed up.

 

[CTF]

District 9 was mediocre beyond belief.

:eek

Let me guess, you were blown away by Avatar's FX?
