Oh, hey. Paradise Lost 3. -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 06:16
I haven't even heard of one of the Best Actor nominations in any form. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 24, 06:10 4
- Bechir? -- nm - Diva Jan 24, 06:12 3
  - oops - Bichir. -- nm - Diva Jan 24, 06:12
  - Yeah, never heard of him; the movie, and don't recall seeing him in any of the magazine previews. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 24, 06:12 1
    - It came and went in a blip. It was a film about illegal immigrants in LA directed by Chris "American Pie" Weitz. -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 06:14

Wow, what a boring list. -- nm - kelly Jan 24, 06:05 3
- yeaaaah. however, i've felt like it's been a bit of a boring year for films.. - colin Jan 24, 06:14 1
  - oh, absolutely, very boring year for films. -- nm - kelly Jan 24, 06:15
- I get a feeling that a lot of the voting was phoned in. And phoned in early. -- nm - H-Mogul Jan 24, 06:09
So how many of the nine Best Picture nominees have you seen? How many will you see? - Jelly Jan 24, 06:02 22
- 6/9. Still need to see Extremely Loud, Hugo and War Horse. I'll try to see all 3 if I can. - kelly Jan 24, 06:18
- 6/9 and probably will see 2 of the remaining 3 on DVD. -- nm - MDH Jan 24, 06:18
- Zero. One. -- nm - znufrii Jan 24, 06:17
- 3.. would like to see descendants and the artist.. the rest, no interest. -- nm - colin Jan 24, 06:15
- seen 0, might see 2 (Moneyball and War Horse) -- nm - Beaker Jan 24, 06:14
- 7 out of 9. I think I may kill myself if I see Tree of Life and Extremely Loud... you can't make me! I won't do it! -- nm - Buzz Jan 24, 06:14 2
  - I just Have no urge to put myself thru Tree of Life. But maybe I should. -- nm - Diva Jan 24, 06:16 1
    - It's high quality torture. I was impressed by the movie, but not pleased. -- nm - Jelly Jan 24, 06:18

    - I dunno. Screams rental to me. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 24, 06:17 1
      - it's delightful. i think you'll like it. -- nm - Diva Jan 24, 06:19
- seen? zero. will see? probably zero. -- nm - decline Jan 24, 06:10
- 2. that may be my lowest of all time. I still want to see Moneyball, ELIC, Artist and Decendants. -- nm - Andie Jan 24, 06:10
- Zero. I'll try to see....some? They've been showing Moneyball on the plane a lot. -- nm - ty97 Jan 24, 06:09

- I've only seen 3 (bad Kim ) - Moneyball, Descendants, Midnight in Paris - Kim Pine Jan 24, 06:05 3
  - Yeah, when EL&IC popped up, Oscar completionists sighed. -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 06:06 2
    - I mean, the book is okay (JSF is a little precious, in my opinion) but I just...well, blah. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 24, 06:08 1
      - the movie is pretty darn precious too. -- nm - Diva Jan 24, 06:09
- Zero. Probably zero. -- nm - Roger More Jan 24, 06:04
- Seen all but Artist and Extremely Loud. -- nm - Ender Jan 24, 06:02
question - why "to be determined" for that one Best Pic nom? -- nm - JenBro Jan 24, 05:54 8
- You're only allowed up to three people to be nominated as producers for Best Pic. There will be wrangling as to who "counts" for that. -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 05:57
- They've probably got too many producers fighting it out for who gets a credit. -- nm - LMS Jan 24, 05:56 3
  - Thunderdome! -- nm - Beaker Jan 24, 05:59 1
    - LOL ... rock/paper/scissor -- nm - JenBro Jan 24, 06:00

  - sorry - I get it now :) -- nm - JenBro Jan 24, 05:57
  - no - it seemed like they didn't know who produced the Tree of Life? -- nm - JenBro Jan 24, 05:57
On the flip side, that Best Pic List actually cuts across a lot of segments. - ty97 Jan 24, 05:53 2
- No. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 24, 05:55 1
  - Laughing, ok man, whatever. -- nm - ty97 Jan 24, 06:01

Wow. That was a weak year in animation if those are the nominees. - TWuG Jan 24, 05:50 11
- Surprised Tintin didn't make it through. -- nm - Buzz Jan 24, 06:00 2
  - that is surprising, it qualified for sure, right? -- nm - Andie Jan 24, 06:05 1
    - Definitely, John Williams got a nom for scoring it. -- nm - Buzz Jan 24, 06:07
- Go Rango! - Guigue Jan 24, 05:52
- Chico & Rita is supposed to be very good. -- nm - LMS Jan 24, 05:51

  - That would not be a safe bet. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 24, 05:53 1
    - I said without looking! :) -- nm - Beaker Jan 24, 05:58
  - And it's better than the 2 DWA projects.. - Marlowe Jan 24, 05:53 2
    - It was not better than Kung Fu Panda 2. - Kim Pine Jan 24, 05:56 1
      - (though I'll agree on the Rango support). :) -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 24, 05:56

- [deleted] 2
  - totally agree -- nm - ceregon Jan 24, 05:54
  - I can't say for sure, as I only saw one non-festival film in theaters last year, but it certainly feels likes a weak year. - ty97 Jan 24, 05:51
Only two song nominations - YAY SHORTER SHOW! wtf (Man or Muppet (The Muppets) and Real in Rio (Rio)) -- nm - Buzz Jan 24, 05:48 2

I haven't followed awards season like I normally do, and that may be the reason - but does this year just seem random and odd to anyone else? -- nm - ty97 Jan 24, 05:44 2
- It was just a crappy year in general for movies. I have a hard time even choosing one "best" movie to champion. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 24, 05:47
- There were definitely more surprises than in years past. -- nm - Jelly Jan 24, 05:46

- I probably watched the wrong version.. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 24, 05:45
- Yeah, that's sumthin'. -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 05:44
- proof positive that releasing a film at the right time means a getting a nomination. -- nm - Buzz Jan 24, 05:44
Take that, Pixar's beliefs! -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 05:42
I've never even heard of 2 of the 5 animated features. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 24, 05:42

  - Janet MacTeer and the woman from The Artist. -- nm - LMS Jan 24, 05:53
- 9 Best Pic Noms. This whole year feels random. -- nm - ty97 Jan 24, 05:43 1
