Jeff Bridges is one of the best actors NEVER to win an Oscar.
I hope he pulls through for Crazy Heart. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmdKte_dlj0"]YouTube- CRAZY HEART - Behind the Scenes Featurette[/ame] |

Jet,
I agree with you about Jeff B. I still have no clue as to why he never won. He is so gifted and talented. Andrew |

I really enjoyed Inglorious Basterds.
I have not seen many of the other films, which shocks me....by this time I usually have.

i have only seen District 9, The Hurt Locker, Inglorious Basterds, and Precious.
i would vote for The Hurt Locker. i was actually bored by District 9. i liked the other two, but not as much as The Hurt Locker. It gave me a view inside a world i did not know about, one we all need to know about. So well done. i have not seen the movies that Jeff Bridges or Sandra Bullock are in, but i like them both a lot. They have certainly paid their dues as well -- given a lot of good performances over the years. i hope they get it. |

I love the night of the Oscars.
What people wear, how the set is designed, the musical numbers, just the whole thing. I wish we could all watch them together.

Avatar, The Blind Side, were both excellent movies. I saw Avatar twice and both of these I will get when they come out on DVD. I am wanting to see the Jeff Bridges movie as I just saw it on a trailer last night.
I would also like to see the Hurt Locker. Its a hard choice between Avatar and Blindside to me. TIMBER |

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! |

Poll Fix
I've requested a Poll Fix for 10 Best Picture Nominees, not 7. (Don't ask)
We'll see of Linus works his magic shortly. The Best Picture category should read as follows Avatar The Blind Side District 9 An Education The Hurt Locker Inglourious Basterds Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire 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.
