Awards Season 2009

[Fiery Angel]

Best Cinematography? Isn't the whole movie CGI?

[HistoryProf]

how can a flick made on a computer even HAVE cinematography??!??!? Fucking terrible!

[lacritfan]

Jesus Christ Oscar producers, you make Kristen Stewart and the wolf boy say it's been 37 years since horror films have been honored at the Oscars with The Exorcist?!! You even included clips from clean sweep winner Silence of the Lambs dumbshits!

[domino harvey]

Edit: Nevermind. Avatar for fucking cinematography. Nauseating.

Did the voters just go straight-up retarded this year?

[domino harvey]

Only possible award win funnier than Avatar for cinematography would be Precious for Editing. So, go ahead and call that one now

If Precious wins, yes.

[HistoryProf]

nevermind...they did put Rohmer in there. i just missed it somehow. That would have been hard to believe. FWIW, Karl Malden got the most applause (I hate that they don't wait till the end)

[CRT]

Rohmer was there.

[lacritfan]

Avatar for fucking cinematography. Nauseating.

Not to mention Art Direction?!! If computer generated sets can win why not give Pixar background artists some noms?

[Fiery Angel]

did they show Farrah?

[HistoryProf]

so they cut people's mic's off so we can watch interpretive dance? brilliant!

[Highway 61]

No. I couldn't believe it. If MJ got in for The Wiz, I'm sure they could have found room for her.

[HistoryProf]

did they show Farrah?

nope. but they showed Michael Jackson! (Black Mike of course)

[domino harvey]

Boy, it's a good thing they cut out those darned memorable song performances and gave us dancing and horror movie blowjobs instead

[HistoryProf]

no time for song performances either...but 10 minutes of this?!?!? Who did they hire to produce this show?!?!?

[Zumpano]

Am I this drunk (from the Precious: Based on the novel "Push" by the author known as Sapphire mentions) that I am seeing interpretive dance of "The Hurt Locker"?

[mfunk9786]

Worst Oscars ever. Ever. Ever.

I couldn't believe that.

Worst Oscars ever. Ever. Ever.

I don't know. If Precious wins, then 'yes'. 2005 still holds for me.

[Zumpano]

Just what I need is a dude in a cardigan "interpreting" The Hurt Locker.

[HistoryProf]

oh fuck, here comes another one for Avatar (visual effects)

[HistoryProf]

Jesus Christ Oscar producers, you make Kristen Stewart and the wolf boy say it's been 37 years since horror films have been honored at the Oscars with The Exorcist?!! You even included clips from clean sweep winner Silence of the Lambs dumbshits!

Disgusting. this entire show is a fucking travesty.

[domino harvey]

Worst Oscars ever. Ever. Ever.

I really did think last year's Oscars were as bad as they could get in my lifetime, but this is like one of those reference level perfect storms of ceremonial and award-based failures. I say bring on Rob Lowe and Snow White at this point

[mfunk9786]

Starting to feel like Avatar is going to win it tonight. In which case, aox, you'll be wrong.

[Fiery Angel]

When I saw "Precious" at the NY film festival, I called it this year's "Slumdog Millionaire" (worst Best Picture ever in my book). I backed off that comment afterwards, but now I'm not so sure...

[aox]

Any other year, District 9 would have taken that (Visual Effects). I didn't like the film, but I felt the visual effects/cgi were among the best and most realistic I have ever seen.
