Oscars

[Col. Hans Landa]

The Hurt Locker or Avatar will win...not sure which, I went with The Hurt Locker, but whatever...

Neither was close to best picture of the year. The best nominated films were Up In The Air, Inglorious Basterds.

That's a BINGO!

I can't even make a top 10 of 2009 yet. I still have to see the following movies.

The Blind Side.
Precious.
Basterds.
An Education.
A Serious Man.
500 Days of Summer.
Julia and Julia.
A Single Man.
The Road.
Invictus.

I was looking forward to ''The Road.''

[Buzzman]

well start looking somewhere else.

It's alright... If you read the book you saw the movie already.

I think it's a better movie if you haven't read the book.

The sad thing is that shitty Denzel Washington movie came out like a month and a half later, so most people didn't even realize the movie came out.

I read and loved the book. I still need to check the movie out, though. Probably wait till DVD.

The movie was solid. It stuck to the book really well and slightly expanded the role of the mother. It did a great job capturing the bleakness of the world and how depressing it is.

To be honest, my top two nominated films were District 9 and Up. To be fair, I haven't seen Up in the Air or An Education yet. Up in the Air looks like my kind of movie, but I don't think An Education has what it takes to be the winner.

Up, frankly, was on the most heartfelt movies I've seen in a long time. I enjoyed Basterds and Avatar, and I thought the Hurt Locker was fantastic, but I felt like I've seen those before. Up, while sticking to a lot of Pixar trademarks, really expanded the personal side with the relationship between Elie and Carl.

Who knows, maybe I'm a sucker. Hurt Locker was a good pick to win, definetly better than Avatar

really not sure how you can dismiss a Coen Bros movie, even thier not so great films are still good

[Houston]

What was good about District 9, can someone tell me?

A Serious Man was there worst movie for me, just couldnt get into it.

Also earlier in this thread Tailback said he likes movies that relate to you and afterwards makes you think and have a discussion about them. Well all 10 nominees had that. I really dont see the reasoning in how some fo the nominees didnt have it because all 10 of them i could talk about for an hour even more. Nearly every movie relates to you in someway or form, you just have to catch it.

[Buzzman]

The Blind Side doesnt count, shouldnt have even been nominated.
