They don't want to shun Disney's return to 2D, so they have to give it something. Also, I wonder if the movie "Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire" was based on anything. It's so hard to say.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-02-2010 11:19 AM                        Well I think "Up" will win the animated category. It'll never win Best Picture. Now it's time for everyone to start working on their gripe post for when "Avatar" doesn't win Best Picture. (although, it's gone against the odds on everything else -- it might on that too.)  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-02-2010 11:31 AM                        I'll be griping if Hurt Locker does not win Best Picture. As for Avatar: which version was nominated? 35mm 2D? 3D 1.85? 3D 2.35? Imax 3D? (Is there an Imax 2D version?)  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-02-2010 11:44 AM                        I don't get what is supposedly so great about Hurt Locker. It is hella boring.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-02-2010 11:45 AM                        If I voted on the Oscars: Best Picture: “The Blind Side” Actor in a Leading Role: George Clooney Actor in a Supporting Role: Christoph Waltz Actress in a Leading Role: Sandra Bullock Actress in a Supporting Role: Maggie Gyllenhaal Animated Feature Film: “Up” Cinematography: "Avatar" Directing: James Cameron I have a very specific reason for each of these picks. I do not think that all of these films will win, but these would get my votes.  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 02-02-2010 01:23 PM                     It would have been nice if Hangover or (as my friends recommend) 500 Days of Summer got one of those 10 slots. It seems like Jason Reitman is oscar's favorite second generation filmmaker. Is up in the Air really worthy of so many nominees? At least Avatar, as mixed as the reviews have been, will help deliver some blockbuster appeal for the awards shows(let's face it, if the show is not going to nominate the best quality, which is subjective anyway, they might as well put in some people pleasing nominees to balance out the appeal and promote the industry via higher ratings). And why are the women's nominations always so boring? It seems like you gotta have at least 3 foreign women in those categories. I can understand going with a little seen role if the acting was truly memorable and clearly superior to more well known roles. But NINE? I am sure Cruz was good in it, but was she that good to get a nomination? All it does is ruin Oscar's ratings when they nominate little watched roles from movies which are not even critically acclaimed. Was Jamie Foxx's sister at the Grammys auditioning for a role in Precious 2? Best song: It delivered on finding the worst nominees as per Oscar habit. I didnt think Inglorious Basterds was that great back when I saw it despite enjoying it. NOw it looks like one of my favorites in the nominees.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-02-2010 01:29 PM                        Nobody may agree with me but "Star Trek" deserved a Best Picture nomination. At the least it should get a special award for "Best Job Pulling a Dead Franchise Out of the Ashes".  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-02-2010 02:02 PM                        quote: Pravin Ratnam Best song: It delivered on finding the worst nominees as per Oscar habit. Remember, the reason to watch the Academy Awards is Bad Dresses, Bad Speeches and Bad Production Numbers. The worser the songs, the higher the probability of a really stinking production number (also, alas, the greater possibility of Celine Dion showing up) [hmm, the auto spell thinks worser is a word] Oh, and T-Bone Burnett is Da Man. Just sayin.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 02-02-2010 02:45 PM                     Star Trek and Hangover deserved more, Hurt Locker deserved less.  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 02-02-2010 02:55 PM                     There's an awful lot of "commercial" films in that bunch nominated for Best Picture this year. That makes me think that the Acadamy may revert to the early 80's type of voting and swing back to more "arty" type films..so to this end I think that either "Precious" or "An Education" may just pull off the big gong. I certainly hope so anyway.... God forbid should Avatar get Best Picture for the reason many have mentioned regards to the rehashed story and cheesy dialogue.  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 02-02-2010 03:01 PM                  Anyone want to venture an opinion which five of the ten Best Picture nominees are the REAL nominees and which ones are there to try to create interest in the show and get the rating up? I am thinking that these four would have made the cut to five: Avatar Blind Side Hurt Locker Up in the Air I would guess the last spot would be between Precious and An Education based on the other categories nominees. I know QT was nominated for director but I don't think this is the one for which he or Lawrence Bender get an Oscar. Most deserved and didn't get a nomination: Stephen Lang in the otherwise horrific "Avatar".  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 02-02-2010 05:09 PM                     As much as I liked "Star Trek" ( the story was tight and fast-paced, the acting was quite good and Chris Pine is so sexy in his undies, lol) I am GLAD to see it DID NOT get nominated for Cinematography!! The idiotic WAAAAAAAAAY overuse of lens flare destroyed the look of an otherwise well-shot film!  |  IP: Logged
