Awards Season 2009

[HistoryProf]

since it's best "foreign language film" now, i'm surprised Cameron didn't bitch about not being nominated for it too.

[HistoryProf]

that's a surprise, no?

[aox]

andddddddddddd the White Ribbon loses.

[HistoryProf]

"I want to thank the academy for not considering Navi a foreign language"

[Saturnome]

isnt cinematography showing stuff well avatar showed stuff

Also not much to care here (is there anything to care for?) but they managed to give the award to best short animated film to the worst one, but it's really complete trash. The film doesn't even make sense, it's just "here, a world made of logos. Now here's a bunch of clichés and voila". They had previously failed to even nominate the good ones.

I've never heard of this guy, but I loved his dig at Avatar.

I was really hoping we'd get to see Michael Haneke speak. UGH. Looking back on tonight's awards, was there any reason to watch?

[HistoryProf]

These fuckers with cutting off the winners need to be kicked in the throat. you can show fucking interpretive dance for 10 minutes, but not give them 90 seconds on the biggest day of their careers?!??!?

Nice to see that the Foreign Language Film category maintains its near-perfect track record

[mfunk9786]

And Best Actor goes to... Joel David Moore for Avatar

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have been pretty funny. I especially liked how they sneaked a horse joke in before introducing Sarah Jessica Parker

Cameron employed some expected, boring cinematography into his film. The White Ribbon and Inglourious Basterds were far more lush and well-shot than they had any right to be.

While there is never any clear cut winner, I think if you knew the work involved in Avatar you would be amazed. My feeling on Basterds however was that Richardson's work has become kind of dull, as that film felt quite flat to me.

[HistoryProf]

anyone seen The Secret in Their Eyes? should it have even been in the final five let alone win?

[mfunk9786]

What do these 5 people have in common? ...who knows?!

But could you distinguish between the cinematographer's and art director's work and the CGI guys? I couldn't--same with "Dr. Parnassus," to be fair.

Claudia, the teta and we all have lost.
Anyway, El secreto de sus ojos is a good film, watch it when it'll be released.
Buenas noches.

[HistoryProf]

I will enjoy seeing Bridges win. He's a cool dude on top of being a great actor.

[Feego]

Oh God, this is gonna take forever. Best Actor in 20 minutes.

[HistoryProf]

best actoress winners. wait...no that's not it.


chicks who slept with best actor nominees?

[mfunk9786]

Oh no, this dick-sucking instead of just showing a clip from the film again. They haven't nixed this after last year's snoozefest?!

[rohmerin]

I did and it's really good, I mean, it's not Haneke, it's not auteur but it's very good.

[Highway 61]

I can't believe they're doing these verbal handjobs for the acting nominees again. They're worse than any bad joke, montage, or fucking dance number they could come up with.

[HistoryProf]

again...all this bullshit instead of clips - while they cut off lesser winners after 60 seconds??!?!?!
