    - note: not many Inuit used to eat greens at all -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 8, 10:18

My friend last night said they need to bring back Hugh Jackman to host -- nm - eag Mar 8, 10:00 4
- I rather liked the whole show last night. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 8, 10:08
- I really liked the structure of last year's show. The way they ran all the way through the process was very well done. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 10:01 2
  - I agree, but could you do that every year? -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 10:01 1
    - Probably not, at least as visibly as it was last year...but as an underlying thing, I think so. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 10:02
I fully expect to see a year where Michael Sheen puts up 2 nominated performances - Will Hunting Mar 8, 09:57 8
- He is, but he also picks movies based on what he thinks he might enjoy rather than looking for "prestige pics". - Callisto Mar 8, 10:07 2
  - I don't begrudge him it ... but after The Queen and Frost/Nixon, he'll bump into something that'll get him noms - Will Hunting Mar 8, 10:10 1

Interesting parallel between 1978 & 2010 Oscars - ceregon Mar 8, 09:56 10
- I don't think that there's much of an argument against the critique that the academy is generally prejudiced against "genre" films. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 10:12
- Note that Annie Hall's gross then is about inflationarily equivalent (as much issues as I have with that calc) to Up in the Air's. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 10:02
- the film in 1978 while charming to a young crash, was not really that good of a picture -- nm - crash davis Mar 8, 10:00 5
  - this is david-level silly. it's not art, it's not "cinema" but it's a perfectly wonderful film - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 10:03 4
    - sure it can be in a conversation, but the acting in it is cheeseball level and the script was lifted from Kurosawa -- nm - crash davis Mar 8, 10:05 3
      - there are no original ideas - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 10:08 2
        
        whatever, Ford, Hamill, Fisher all got a lot better later but really viewed with critical eyes, it wasn't that good -- nm - crash davis Mar 8, 10:11 1
        
        yep. I love that nine-year-old me had so much fun with the movie, but it really is kind of awful. - Callisto Mar 8, 10:16
- science fiction never wins anyway so i don't take much of a message away there -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 09:57 1
  - If they keep 10 (and it seems like they will, as it seemed to work), I could see it happening eventually. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:57
red carpet trivia: Meryl Streep's dress was designed by a former Project Runway contestant - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 09:54 1
- awesome. she looked great. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 09:56
yup, Kate Winslet had my favorite dress, with Penelope Cruz a close second... -- (link) - znufrii Mar 8, 09:52 9
- there weren't any really bad choices. i liked pretty much everything, -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 10:02 1
  - a few misfires, but nothing really OMGhorrifying... - znufrii Mar 8, 10:15
- rachel mcadams - and they got a woman labeled Demi Moore who is not Demi -- nm - Epiphany Mar 8, 10:01 4
  - No, that's her. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 10:08 3
    - If every part of her is replaced, is it still her? -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 10:12 2
      - Ashton Kutcher's penis is the fountain of youth. -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 10:21
      - "I've had the same hammer for 20 years, only replaced the handle three times and the head twice." -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 10:14
- I liked Bullock's outfit; loved Sidibe?s and Penelope is smoking....Winslet looked like Winslet, ie yummy. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 09:55 1
  - add J Lo to your worst list as well... - znufrii Mar 8, 10:06

Streep doesn't have any movies on the 2010 release calendar currently. -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 09:42 20
- A glance at the current release schedule reveals a relative dearth of Oscar bait at this point to my eyes. - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:48 14
  - Do Oscar-bait movies usually get locked in this early? -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:50 2
    - Usually at this point you can look at the October-December releases and find several Oscar-bait movies. - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:56 1
      - I was thinking there isn't a real need to lock down the opening weekend, like there is for $200 million tentpoles. -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:58
  - [deleted] 10
    - Oscars are just way more valuable to smaller movies. The Hurt Locker will see a real DVD bump, Avatar would not have made a penny more. -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:50
    - I guess Crash was the last. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:50 8
      - [deleted] 7
        
        Unusual for an Oscar-bait movie to be released in May -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:53 5
        
        yeah, I was thinking it was when I first answered, until I remembere correctly. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:56
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I'd say it was Million Dollar Baby. -- nm - Inigo Mar 8, 09:56
        
        Million Dollar Baby, in 2004? -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:55 1
        
        Chicago, and A Beautiful Mind too -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:56
        
        yeah, maybe not. And it wasn't a late-year release. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:53
- Don't quote me, but I believe I remember her saying she is going to select movies she has special interest in - MDH Mar 8, 09:45 2
  - she can certainly afford to be picky. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 09:46 1
    - I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to take a break either. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:47
- IMdb has "The Ice at the Bottom of the World" (w/ Charlize Theron!) -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 09:45 1
  - That's been in development so long, I'm pretty sure it dead delisted from HSX a few years ago -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:46

- meanwhile her ex-husband took the wheel, and she was going to meet her boyfriend. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:46 1
  - and her license was suspended because she was convicted of a DUI the previous day. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 09:47
- v-area, mara. you're so square. nm - Dignan Mar 8, 09:45
- wtf is wrong with people?! -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:43 2
  - People. Are. Stupid. Learn it. Live it. -- nm - mara Mar 8, 09:45
  - Apparently, they have too much body hair. -- nm - TWuG Mar 8, 09:45
Reading poll: just finished Starship Troopers: A- (I can see why Mel hates the movie in comparison to the book, I rewatched the movie after reading - - Beaker Mar 8, 09:42 9
- also reread some of my fave Louis L'Amour books: Flint: A, The Iron Marshall: A- , Reilly's Luck: A+ -- nm - Beaker Mar 8, 09:55

  - I found the movie themes to be almost a 180 from the book themes (that I got out of it anyway) -- nm - Beaker Mar 8, 09:47 1
    - agreed... - Mel Profit Mar 8, 09:52
- Re-reading now: Dresden Files - Turn Coat (prepping for Changes in April !!!) -- nm - Beaker Mar 8, 09:42
Only Jack and Katherine Hepburn have three or more acting Oscars, right? -- nm - Inigo Mar 8, 09:41 13
- Ingrid Bergman. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:44 6
  - Thanks. So, Hepburn, Bergman, Nicholson and Brennan. Streep will join that list at some point, I think. -- nm - Inigo Mar 8, 09:48 5
    - Wouldn't surprise me if Penn or Day-Lewis do. Particularly if they take on supporting roles at some point. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:51 4
      - Yeah, I'd tend more toward Day-Lewis doing it becuase he doesn't seem 100% the utter prick Penn is. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 09:58 3
        
        Yeah but Penn won last year anyway (in tight competition). *Great* performances will win. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:59 2
        
        Heck, let's not forget Hanks. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 10:00 1
        
        Kevin Spacey too. -- nm - Inigo Mar 8, 10:01
- Walter Brennan -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:43 2
  - Three supporting actor wins. I can't imagine that will happen again. -- nm - Inigo Mar 8, 09:46 1
    - If Michael Caine has another good performance left... -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:48
- [deleted]
- Spencer Tracy also i believe -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 09:42 1
  - just two for him. -- nm - Callisto Mar 8, 09:44
B2 Krusty, can you use canned crushed tomato? -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 8, 09:41

    - yep (and she's proven over the years that she's a stellar actress) -- nm - Callisto Mar 8, 09:55
    - How dare they give an Oscar to a comedy! -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:44
