82nd ACADEMY AWARD Nominations

[CelticPredator]

Yeah, makes sense. The Hurt Locker SUCKS!

Why wasnt it more predicible???

 

[Bullseye]

No blue people, toy line, ripped off plots, cheesy one liner script, 3D?

People don't dislike the movie but they are amazed by the hyperbole. Better war movies than this haven't even been nominated. Better movie in foreign language section of Oscars. Etc. Just as Avatar film fanatics are full of hype the same can be levelled at the fanboys of the HL.

 

[CelticPredator]

I dont think anyone is a fanboy of The Hurt Locker.

Plus, no one is worse then Avatards. NO ONE.

 

[Bullseye]

Actually Foot Locker fans are just as bad.

 

[CelticPredator]

From the above statement. No. They arent. Foot Locker? . Are all Avatar fans 13 or something? Never once have I seen Hurt Locker fans even attempt to attack any other war movie....

 

[Bullseye]

I would suggest alot of Avatar fans are fans of James Cameron and what he has done in general for the movie industry. And while the story was a rehash of two or three previously told stories they were wowed by the visual feast JG served up. I would also suggest that JC has never been about testing ones grey matter. But neither was the HL. Your going to see another new film later this year called Georgia and it's going to have a serious bias towards one sides PoV.

Agreed for the most part. I am JC fan more than an Avatar fan.

I just want to watch another video.

i think bigelow deserved best director but best film should have been Inglourious Basterds and Colin Firth should have won instead of Jeff Bridges

avatar's reward was it's box office returns and technical achievement oscars, thoroughly entertaining film but not the most original

 

[Atilla the Professor]

I agree with you Karma about Avatar. It was a spectacular film imo and the technical oscars it won are well deserved, but in terms of overall film making and storytelling there were better films.

I thought Jeff Bridges deserved the Oscar. He's been nominated I think 4 times before and he did a fantastic job in Crazy Heart. If Colin Firth had won I certainly wouldn't have been disappointed though, as he too was deserving. Doesn't he seem like just a nice dude? Eh, whatever.

 

[316what]

Ok, it has been 7 days....can't we find a more current topic to debate?

 

[EVILFACE]

You don't have to come into the thread then.

I love NCIS, and my mother is addicted to it. She watches all the reruns on USA over and over again.

I love NCIS. Just watched a marathon of it last Sunday.

I concur! I'm very happy Bridges won the Oscar but would have also been happy to see Firth win. Same thing with Bullock and Streep and the Hurt Locker and IB.

I do feel IB should have gotten best screenplay - I think it deserved it a little more than the competition.

 

[Atilla the Professor]

Yeah, I agree. Mark Boal did a great job with the script for Hurt Locker and he wound a very tight film about this small team of men, but Tarantino crafts dialogue like no other.

The scene at the beginning of Inglorious Basterds, where Landa talks over a glass of milk is just as tense as when Jeremy Renner is defusing that car bomb outside the UN building. When a writer manages to pull that off, they deserve the credit (imo).

Still, everyone who won this year was deserving. By the way, did you hear that joke from the director who won for best foreign film? "I'm just glad the Academy didn't consider Naiive (or h/o you spell it) a foreign language" That cracked me up.

 

[The Ween]

I love NCIS. Just watched a marathon of it last Sunday.

They play it alot on USA and if there's nothing else on, Mom will watch it. Same with the CSI shows. It used to be all the Law and Order shows but she burned herself out on them. She's in the rehab center because she had knee replacement surgery. I know she's feeling better because she cusses at the tv whenever DiNozzo picks on McGee.

 

[CelticPredator]

I watched one episode...the production values are terrible....

So whats so good about it? Serious question...not a bait post.

Quoted for truth.
