The Oscars: What's Your Vote?

Blade · 03-03-2010, 02:57 PM

Chuckling...I saw the name of the thread and thought we were going to talk about hotdogs. LOL Oscar Myer ya know.

I don't be still and quiet long enough to watch movies and I've never heard of any of these movies except Blind Side and Avatar. I'd probably eventually watch Blind Side but not avatar. See I can't wait for the rest home in my old age I will be able to watch movies all day long for the rest of my life and they'll all be new releases.

Maybe one day I'll find a wonderful wife who can calm me down enough to watch movies before I reach retirement age

Sorry for the derail Jet!

A Serious Man

Up

Up in the Air

feel free to share your voice on these until we can get the poll fixed.

Thanks and sorry for the shoddy cut and paste job

I have to confess i have not seen Avatar. I probably will never see Avatar, but if I do, it will only be because of Sigourney Weaver. I don't even know how large her role is in that movie. I'm just not a fan of the genre and all that shit flying around. My 02.

I originally voted for Avatar. It was magnificent, both visually and in the quality of the story. I do, however, love Up. It also has a lovely story and is very nice visually. Maybe I'm just a huge fan of animation and CG?

If either of them won, or Blind Side (hello, Sandy Bullock!), I would be happy.

The Hurt Locker
Nominated for 9 Oscars. Another 68 wins & 42 nominations

Summary
US Army Sergeant First Class Will James, Sergeant JT Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge comprise the Bravo Company's bomb disposal unit currently stationed in Baghdad. James is the tech team leader. When James arrives on the scene, Bravo Company has thirty-nine days left on its current deployment. It will be a long thirty-nine days for Sanborn and Eldridge whose styles do not mesh with their new leader. James is a renegade for who the thrill of the dismantlement seems to be the ultimate goal regardless of the safety of his fellow team members, others on the scene or himself. On the other hand, Sanborn is by the books: he knows his place and duty and trusts others in the army to carry out theirs as well as he. And Eldridge is an insecure soldier who is constantly worried that an error or misjudgment on his part will lead to the death of an innocent civilian or a military colleague. While the three members face their own internal issues, they have to be aware of any person at the bomb sites, some of who may be bombers themselves.

Best Picture: Up in the Air. Although I wish I could have seen the Hurt Locker. Still haven't got my copy from Netflix.

Actor in a Leading Role: Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) sentimental favorite

Actress in a Leading Role: Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) and Meryl Streep (Julia and Julie) in a tie. It could happen!

Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique (Precious) not even close.

Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz (Inglurious Basterds)

Director: Katheryn Bigelow (the Hurt Locker) It would be nice to see a woman get it.

Cyclopea · 03-03-2010, 03:30 PM

My vote is for better dresses this year. I don't subscribe to the whole "It's a depression let's not rub our wealth and glamor in the faces of the downtrodden and wear understated muted colors and simple gowns". We need glamor now more than ever! If you can't overdress at the Oscars then stay off the red carpet!

Official Academy video and video links to this year's 82nd Annual Academy Awards

Watching The Oscars, but knowing little about the movies or the Awards is a drag.
I'm posting this for additional information—just about everything you would like to
know behind the scenes is here. At least, this helps watching them this year more interesting. Enjoy.

An Education
Nominated for 3 Oscars. Another 16 wins & 44 nominations

Summary
In the early 1960's, sixteen year old Jenny Mellor lives with her parents in the London suburb of Twickenham. On her father's wishes, everything that Jenny does is in the sole pursuit of being accepted into Oxford, as he wants her to have a better life than he. Jenny is bright, pretty, hard working but also naturally gifted. The only problems her father may perceive in her life is her issue with learning Latin, and her dating a boy named Graham, who is nice but socially awkward. Jenny's life changes after she meets David Goldman, a man over twice her age. David goes out of his way to show Jenny and her family that his interest in her is not improper and that he wants solely to expose her to cultural activities which she enjoys. Jenny quickly gets accustomed to the life to which David and his constant companions, Danny and Helen, have shown her, and Jenny and David's relationship does move into becoming a romantic one. However, Jenny slowly learns more about David, and by association Danny and Helen, and specifically how they make their money. Jenny has to decide if what she learns about them and leading such a life is worth forgoing her plans of higher eduction at Oxford.

Oscar producers urge viewers to tune in early

LOS ANGELES – The people behind Sunday's Oscars show are urging people to tune in early for one of the program's best sequences.
Bill Mechanic, who is producing the awards ceremony with Adam Shankman, promised "the most dynamic opening, from drama to spectacle to humor, that has ever been staged.

Vintage Oscar Snubs

i.e. Rocky beat Taxi Driver!?
wha?

BestButchBoy · 03-06-2010, 10:18 AM

Got to say, I'm mad for Penelope Cruz. I'm sure she'd marry me if she only knew I exist. I hope she wins, yet again. Nine -- Fellini -- Miss Cruz---you can't go wrong.

Of course, I have a fondness for Sandra Bullock. Would like her to get the gold even if I didn't see her film.

Meryl Streep is an actress that transcends all time and talent. This woman, in every performance, has crafted the suspension of disbelief into pure magic.

I'd like to thank the academy and, of course, God, for all the nominees.

Ha!

I saw Avatar 3D.....not worth the money...but I would suggest going to the regualar showing of it...just not to pay extra for 3D.....it was beautiful, had some spiritual aspects that were intresting....its worth seeing in the big screen...and i have read the statments from J cameron regarding the vatican protests....very interesting...
