- it's too early to tell. first the producers have to do an intelligent ad campaign -- nm - peglegpete Jan 22, 14:26
- I still think Milk is the favorite. The praise for it seems most unanimous -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 14:24
- It helps Button, as now Warners will do everything to make sure it wins and not the film they let go -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 22, 14:24
- I think it helps Button, less studio competition -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 14:23

  - And as someone who's not very keen on them, it is the greatest comic book movie I've ever seen. -- nm - Qale Jan 22, 14:22 1
    - same here, no doubt. -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 14:23
  - why couldn't it be one of the 5 best movies of the year? -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 14:21
  - I'm only joking -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 14:20 6
    - phew. I mean if we get to the point where comic book movies win best picture, we're in trouble -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 14:22 5
      - [deleted] 2
        
        I agree with this. - Mel Profit Jan 22, 14:25 1
        
        I still have no idea how that movie won. -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 14:26
      - Whoa whoa whoa! I didn't say it should win. -- nm - Qale Jan 22, 14:23 1
        
        heh -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 14:24

  - *un-shun* Probably a few. *shun* -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 14:21
I know I'm several hours late but here is my official The Dark Knight got robbed of Best Pic Nom post. -- nm - Qale Jan 22, 14:10 32
- Well then, you need to build a time machine, go back to 1999, do everything you can to become an Academy member and rectify this egregious error -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 22, 14:16 8
  - You can't change the past -- nm - oblique Jan 22, 14:18 1
    - Doc Brown would like to disagree with you -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 22, 14:23
  - Awesome. Then I can fix the Crash winning Best Picture situation from a few years too! -- nm - Qale Jan 22, 14:17 5
    - Before you fix that go kill Hitler -- nm - Redmond Jan 22, 14:19 3
      - I thought Tom Cruise had that covered? -- nm - Qale Jan 22, 14:21 1

    - There you go! Even more incentive to build a time machine -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 22, 14:19

  - One of the nominees is played by Sean Penn. How can you take THAT seriously? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 14:20
- And basically replaced by yet another holocaust movie. *yawn* -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 14:14 5
  - Yet another? There's only been ONE Holocaust movie nominated between Schinder's List and today. And if being about the Holocaust was the factor... - Mr. Havens Jan 22, 14:18 3
    - Did you not watch that Extras episode or something? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 14:20 2
      - I don't watch tabloid television shows -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 22, 14:23 1
        
        Are we talking about the same Ricky Gervais comedy? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 14:28
  - At least it was replaced with a hawt holocaust movie. (Or so the trailer leads me to believe.) -- nm - Qale Jan 22, 14:15
- [deleted]
- How can it get robbed of something it never had nor deserved? -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 14:12
- It did not deserve a Best Picture nomination. Just my opinion. -- nm - Redmond Jan 22, 14:11 12
  - I agree. Nor did that LOTR crap. -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 14:19 2
    - At the time I didn't think Raiders of the Lost Ark should have been either. - Redmond Jan 22, 14:24 1
      - Word. -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 14:26
  - There were quite a few of us this morning who agree with you. -- nm - kelly Jan 22, 14:13 3
    - Yeah I posted on that thread too. -- nm - Redmond Jan 22, 14:15 2
      - Hopefully you'll post on the next one, too! -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 14:17 1
        
        It's what I do. It's who I am. I should get an Oscar for most duplicated postings. -- nm - Redmond Jan 22, 14:18
  - I think it did, but I'm not going to get all emo about it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 14:12 3
    - Well, that's why I wrote my post the way I did. - Qale Jan 22, 14:13
    - I admit, I'm a little heartbroken about it -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 14:13 1

Apparently, the bulk of the Stimulus Package should be spent bringing the White House into the 21st century. -- (link) - Mop Jan 22, 14:06 8
- I wonder if it has Cisco Telepresence, like the White House on 24? -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 14:14 1
  - Let me tell you, even Cisco Telepresence doesn't work like Cisco says it does. -- nm - Mop Jan 22, 14:20
- I hope Obama doesn't stay up all night playing Halo with Putin. -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 14:12 5
  - I bet Prince Harry would play -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 14:14 2
    - Harry's too busy getting tail. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 14:15
    - The question is, who's want to play against him? -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 14:14
  - Hang on Vlad, I'm going down to play from the Sit Room -- nm - Obama Jan 22, 14:13 1
    - Vot are you saying, I ave ze 360 at my desk, no need to go to other room. -- nm - Vlad Jan 22, 14:16
Bush supporters wasting no time lashing back at inauguration speech. -- (link) - znufrii Jan 22, 14:05 21
- I thought he showed a lot of restraint by not mentioning Bush's name as the direct cause of many of those problems. -- nm - not2fast Jan 22, 14:22
- [deleted]
- [deleted]
- well, they have a point. Seems like they made quite an effort to bring the new admin on board. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 14:09 8
  - I'm glad they did. But Obama was also elected on a mandate of change, and expecting anything different from his inauguration speech is unrealistic -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 14:11 2
    - I think they're doing what loyal supporters should do. and Bush himself hasn't uttered a bad word. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 14:14 1
      - Oh sure. It doesn't change my opinion, is all -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 14:26
  - True, but I don't think that entitles them to expect Obama to offer anything less than the frank assessment of the challenges we face as a country. - znufrii Jan 22, 14:11 2
    - they're entitled to rebut his views. it's a free country, etc. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 14:13 1
      - it's a great big freedom party! -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 14:13
  - And Obama has been very vocal in thanking them for that. Doesn't change the fact that the previous occupant trashed the place. -- nm - TWuG Jan 22, 14:10 1
    - at least they didn't take the "O"s off all of the keyboards... -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 14:11
- Awwww. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 22, 14:07
- They are unpatriotic Muslims who hate America and they're endangering our national security by speaking out against The President! - con_carne Jan 22, 14:06 2
  - [deleted]
  - Hee! -- nm - TWuG Jan 22, 14:08
- Berry: I would like a * next to any znufrii post that links to the NYT - oblique Jan 22, 14:06 4

  - I think you mean "Berry of African descent". -- nm - Ender Jan 22, 14:06 1
    - [deleted]
- Did you see the CSPAN video where they mention the Blackberry? -- nm - oblique Jan 22, 14:02 3

Turns out, 2012 really *is* the end of the world. -- (link) - Mop Jan 22, 13:56 3
- WorldNetDaily? Is that the Weekly World News of the net? -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 22, 13:58
- dammit, you made me click on a World News Daily link. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 13:57 1
  - After ML linked to the Daily Show, all bests are off! -- nm - Mop Jan 22, 14:02
My understanding of the Employee Free Choice Act - Mop Jan 22, 13:54 3
- What Ender said. It looks like it shifts the opportunity for coercion from the employer to the union. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 22, 14:03 1
  - Though I've read the wiki article on it about three times now, and still don't feel like I totally understand it. - Dr.Vermin Jan 22, 14:09
- ...allowing only the union intimidation before you've declared your intention. -- nm - Ender Jan 22, 14:00

  - I've been working on the Oscar Handicap articles all day, and was wondering the same thing - Mr. Havens Jan 22, 13:55 1
    - Hey, I didn't say 'spend all day'. - kelly Jan 22, 13:56
  - I don't even read IMs! -- nm - Mop Jan 22, 13:55 6
