82nd ACADEMY AWARD Nominations

I love the line where he describes the hatrid for the jews. Spot on.

 

[Atilla the Professor]

Yeah Hans Landa is probably the best cinematic villian that I've seen in the past few years. The quirky confidence and cold intellect he brings to every scene in Inglorious Basterds was so original and different from all the cardboard cut out villains you see in other films. Very refreshing.

And thank you very much Dusty, I'm glad you agree =D

 

[The Ween]

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

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

Production values are terrible? How so for tv?

You can't judge a tv program by one show anyway and it's improved over the seasons.

It has good characters and stories. IMO.

 

[The ill Jedi]

How can anyone dislike The Hurt Locker? It was totally amazing.

I'd say if you're a huge fan of Avatar, that'd do it.

Are you 12?

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.

Look, I loved Hurt Locker, but I never went into every thread saying, "Oh my God, Hurt Locker is the GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!!". It was IMO, one of the best films of last year and I felt it was the most deserving of the Best Picture Nominees. I also don't think that this movie was overhyped, a lot of people never even saw it until it hit Blu-Ray DVD, what you saw as hype was from all the attention it was getting throughout awards season.

There does seem to be some confusion over the level of enthusiasm for The Hurt Locker and that of Avatar; one is clearly the superior film but it doesn't have nearly the same rabid fanbase - it is after all the lowest grossing Best Picture of all time.

I would have been happy with Inglorious or District 9 (long shot that it was) winning.

Chak haks daku numb ___!

I just want everyone to know that this morning I woke up and coated my entire body with blue paint. I then put a loin cloth on and stuck feathers out of every opening in my body. This is to include me pee hole. I now fully intend to go to the movie theater and watch Avatar as many times as they are showing it. This cleary was and is the best movie ever made. No other movie will or has topped it.

Nukka tochuk wakka wakka wakka.

 

[occulum]

FF>> 10yrs and this will be known as the year Inglorious Basterds didnt win the BP Oscar like it shouldve. ...

Avatar will have enough clones out to make you sick of the first. (even tho its pretty much a clone itself)

Hurt Locker, while still a GREAT war movie, will be known as just that "Another great war movie" in amongst MANY great war movies that have been made over the years.

But the gem of the Basterds will still hold its own in originality and creativity with no other film comparable being released....

I miss Howard.

While recapping the Academy Awards on his Sirius satellite radio show Monday, Howard Stern said some controversial words about best actress nominee Gabourey Sidibe.

Stern, focused on the part of Sunday's show when the camera cut to the five actresses up for the Oscar, including Sidibe, whom he referred to as "the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen."

"You feel bad because everyone pretends that she’s part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie," Stern added. "What movie is she going to be in? ‘Blind Side 2,’ she could be the football player.”


Howard accused Oprah Winfrey, who introduced Sidibe at the Oscars when the best actress nominees were announced, of lying to Sidibe. “When we look at you,” Winfrey told the 26-year-old from the Oscars stage, “we see a true, American Cinderella who’s on the threshold of a brilliant new career.”

Stern disagreed. “She told an enormous woman the size of a planet that she’s going to have a career,” he said during his broadcast. “Oprah should’ve said, ‘you need to get help, we don’t want to lose you.’ "

For Stern, Sidibe’s size is not just a problem for her career, but her health as well.

“You just want to say to her, listen, honey, now that you’ve got a little money in the bank go get yourself thin, because you’re going to die in three years,” he said.

A recording of the show has been posted on YouTube, and reactions have ranged from disgust to agreement.

One YouTube user commented that Stern was only saying what everyone else is thinking, while another found Stern’s remarks, regardless of their validity, to be unnecessary. Another wrote, “It’s not like what he’s saying is totally untrue, but he’s so rude and mean about it.” A Gone Hollywood blogger said that while he isn't going to pretend that Sidibe won't have a hard time in Hollywood because of her size, it looks like Stern is picking on an easy target.

Star Trek should have won!

 

[Khev]

I agree. And so did the Hollywood Foreign Press.

 

[Bullseye]

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.

That was a fantastic scene.

 

[Shai]

Can anyone with a normal I.Q. can really say that Avatar was a better movie than Inglorious Bastard...

 

[Bullseye]

A better question would be is HL better than IB? And are either infact great?

 

[LChinoz]

After watching both again, I say IMO IB was a superior film from beginning to end. I liked HL when I first saw it, but it is not made for repeat viewings. I do feel last year was a pretty weak year for films overall.

 

[IrishJedi]

A better question would be is HL better than IB? And are either infact great?

They're both great movies. I personally would give BASTERDS the nod, but either was worthy of the Best Picture award this year, imho.

 

[Nitro]

I didn't care for Hurt Locker....although I didn't loathe it like I did with Slumdog Millionaire last year.
