nsps Posted March 6, 2006 That's certainly true. It's hard to even get nominated for art direction or costumes without being a period piece. (See Alex McDowell's brilliant work on "Minority Report," which wasn't even nominated a couple years back.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netmonkey Posted March 8, 2006 John Williams annoys me these days. He did pretty good stuff in the 70's and 80's, but he's lost touch. I was glad that Gustavo Santaolalla won. I like his style. Now, crash? wtf. Also, I haven't seen any of the nominated best pictures. I need to go out more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayel Posted March 8, 2006 Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't there been like three dozen films named "Crash" already? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted March 8, 2006 The only other one I'm familiar with is Cronenberg's '96 movie. I was a bit weirded out when the theater I work for started getting posters for a movie that came out 9 years ago. ...yeah, I know. It's ten years ago. Wasn't when I got the posters, ok?

ThunderPeel2001 Posted January 23, 2012 It's getting to that time of year again: FOTY.cx Oscars! When all the good movies are released, and there are no Transformers sequels. Favourite films/performances over the past year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPeel2001 Posted January 25, 2012 Well the noms were announced yesterday: http://oscar.go.com/nominees/ I've seen most of these movies, which I'm pleased about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted January 25, 2012 That link features a large black oblong that says: "The video you are trying to watch is no longer available". Are they satirising the MPAA or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted January 29, 2012 Weeeeell. Now this is a weird year. I didn't see any of the movies that are in Best Picture, Best Actor or Best Actress categories as nominees. Haha, the only nominee in all of the categories that I actually have seen so far is Rango. Weak year... Anyways, this year I will have to watch the Oscars show live again after a few years of not watching it live. Just because Billy Crystal is hosting it this year.

Roderick Posted January 29, 2012 Wow, Puss in Boots is in the best animated feature? Seems like they were one movie short... Anyway, Rango it should be, it was great. It's entirely disappointing that Harry Potter 7-2 wasn't nominated for best picture. It would've been a nice 'Return of the King'-esque gesture towards this unique movie franchise and it was a genuinely awesome film to boot. I saw it four times in cinema. I'd love for The Ides of March to get Best Adapted Screenplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
