Re: Who Will Make The Next Oscar Thread?
A Marvel fanboy who thinks Iron Man is just as good or better than The Dark Knight who wants to rub it in that it's got a nomination as well.

Re: Who Will Make The Next Oscar Thread?
Dark Knight fans are so convinced that it is the greatest movie ever that they let themselves get carried away into thinking that it deserves every award out there. Fact is there were many more movies that were superior to both Iron Man and Dark Knight and most of them are nominated for Oscars.
Calm down now, you don't see all the Iron Man fans saying, "IM got screwed" or "Favreaux got screwed" or "Paltrow, Howard and Bridges got screwed!!".

What am I calming down about? It was the answer to the thread question. I don't think The Dark Knight is the best movie ever. It's not even in my top three this year.

I do and will. Some help would be nice though. Get over Gears!

I really need to see DOUBT soon.
See the play if you have the option. It should have stayed on the stage.

Look, fact is the Academy hates most Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies.

After repeat viewings, I find myself enjoying Kung Fu Panda more than Wall-E.
And for the first time in my adult life, I have not seen a single one of the Best Picture nominees--only one of which opened in my town (and the kids have kept me too busy to even see that). So I am pathetically unprepared to have much in the way of an opinion this year.

This is an abomination. Button i.e. Forrest Gump redux with 13 Noms? Paltry Wall-E props?
This Committee is like a Miami retirement home. Mainstream Fans ignored again...
Ratings will suffer as a result.

The ratings will be through the roof--all the fans of Frozen River and The Visitor will tune in, that's for sure.

I think it's the fact that the characters in Panda can talk and all have personalities that makes it so charming, but for me, with such limited dialogue WALL-E is an all around masterpiece. I mean Pixar gave a robot with no face so much emotion and charm, it truly is amazing to watch.

Neither title would be recognized by Joe Public, I'm afraid. I'm sure they're good films, but not ratings grabbers with widespread popular success.
Good choices creatively this year, but not for attracting a large audience to the telecast. Example: I have heard tons of positive buzz from friends and relatives about Gran Torino, which was completely shut out. Instead we get movies they have never heard of, so they won't care about the awards this year. The public will watch the Oscars when they can root for a film millions have seen and loved, and most of the nominated films don't qualify.

I loved the first part of the movie when Wall-E was the focus. As the humans showed up and Wall-E was off screen or incapacitated, it didn't stay brilliant or hold my interest. I feel like it's half a masterpiece, but seeing it again it felt more forced, preachy and calculated in it's second half.
