The Academy Awards 2010

[LemonMelon]

Three weeks of BSS to The NASH! to LCD Soundsystem ... it's an indie kid's wet dream, isn't it?

New New Pornographers is equally wank-worthy, obvs.

 

[No spoken words]

Wait.

Fisher Stevens?

What????

WTF?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Its Tyler Perry's Tyler Perry

After reading Fast Food Nation, I was about ready to stop eating beef. But that didn't work out. But I do stop and think about it when I cook with it. I don't eat a lot of red meat.

Watching The Corporation made me switch to organic milk.

Oh, so that is that same Fisher Stevens. Huh.

 

[Imperor]

The Cove just probably locked up my W in my annual Oscar pick-em versus my old man. Thank you, dead dolphins.

 

[corianderstem]

So does it still typically hold true that best editing wins best picture?

 

[Jive Turkey]

*woah*

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

He does the music for Lost too? I did not know this. That's totally awesome.

Yup. He's on a roll. I'm pretty happy for him.

And, wow, Hurt Locker has Best Picture in the bag now. How sweet it is.

yes
sorry basterds

 

[corianderstem]

Nice. We'll see if they go with a split and give Cameron the director nod.

 

[No spoken words]

His name.....is Neo.

 

[Jive Turkey]

the "you're a wild man, do you know that?" part in the Hurt Locker confused me. The guy sounded like he was being sarcastic, but nothing ever came of it

He was just a gung-ho type showing admiration.

small chance

 

[No spoken words]

Deep, nominated or not, what was your favorite film of the year?

 

[Imperor]

If Cameron wins BD, maybe they can go back and give one to Tex Avery retroactively.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I think it was the way he read the lines that seemed strange to me. Like he was luring him in for a verbal beatdown

I can understand that.

But, my advice to you going forward:

Never question David Morse's line readings.

 

[corianderstem]

What's with all those lampshades in the background?

 

[Jive Turkey]

I can understand that.

Smart

 

[deep]

Deep, nominated or not, what was your favorite film of the year?

I don't have a favorite
I think most of the top 10 that are getting mentioned in the other thread are good picks

I would not include Invictus or Blind Side on my best of 2010 list.

I am glad you liked Sugar, not too many people saw that film.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I recall a bunch of people on here raving about The White Ribbon. Surprised it didn't win that.

Fair enough.

Sugar just felt authentic and untainted by Hollywood execs, etc.

Laz and his son loved it.

 

[corianderstem]

Come on, Jeff Bridges! You're way past due for this.

I dunno. I could do without inspirational speeches about each nominee. I don't care if they're a great family man or not. Give me the clips, tell me the winner.

 

[deep]

yes, a film like Sugar or City of God, and to a lessor extend Sin Nobre have real authentic feels to them, they also use real locations

they will be just as enjoyable 10 years from now.

 

[deep]

Clooney is bored because he is at a stage in his life that he goes home with the same woman he brought

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, I bet no one involved with the movie S.W.A.T. ever thought it would be mentioned at the Oscars.

 

[corianderstem]

Yay!
