Awards Season 2010

[Feego]

Celine Dion aside, that was probably the best memoriam in years. You could actually see the people without having your vision pulled in multiple directions by a bunch of scattered images.

And Rohmer was included last year.

[Brian C]

I didn't say it was a random choice or the better choice. I'm just saying it's a far easier choice of topic for people to vote on and is more abstract with what it wants to accomplish than a documentary with a clear political agenda like Inside Job.

Well no offense, but if you're not saying it's a better choice, then who cares?

I'll speak your language: it's far easier to make sweeping generalizations about the motives of a whole group than it is to actually critique the award on substantial terms. Isn't it?

That makes sense.

[Murdoch]

Chabrol got third(?) billing, better than I expected.

[Brian C]

Goddammit.

[Jeff]

YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME

[tavernier]

awesome

[SpiderBaby]

lol

[domino harvey]

Gee, I wonder what will win Best Picture!!!!

[aox]

Awful

[James Mills]

lol, cool story, Tom.

edit: after Bigelow winning last year and now Hooper, I have to wonder if the academy voters even know what directing is?

[domino harvey]

Why isn't he accepting his award in the extreme right or left of the camera?

[mfunk9786]

What a beautiful speech. Lump in my throat, sorry guys.

[knives]

Nothing more predictable.

[SpiderBaby]

Les Carabiniers shot at Oscars! F YEAH!

[mfunk9786]

OLD DUDES REDUX

[Jeff]

Now is the time for Brownlow and Coppola to announce Napoleon Blu-ray

[Brian C]

I disagree with whoever (mfunk?) said that The King's Speech makes a poor villian for this year's Oscars. I didn't think it was a terrible film, but it's exactly the kind of mediocre Ron Howard-level crap that drives me batty about the fucking Oscars. I just can't see future generations looking back at us and saying, "Boy, they really nailed that Tom Hooper award."

[SpiderBaby]

The music should cut off and out comes Godard in a Star Wars landspeeder.

[James Mills]

This is the highlight of the night for me, I'm really happy for Eli Wallach. I've always thought he was one of the most underappreciated actors of all time.

The Ron Howard comparison is perfect. And yeah, I fail to see how this film will not be totally forgotten in a decade.

[domino harvey]

How hilarious would it be if the Social Network still won Best Pic? Like, most awkward award split in Oscar history. C'mon c'mon c'mon

[aox]

Hey guys! Do you remember that movie Atonement? Neither do I....

[lacritfan]

YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME

Goddammit.

Yeah, right? I still can't believe Kathryn Bigelow is 59 years old.

[tavernier]

the worst part of the whole evening is Anne Hathaway's continued whooping when someone comes out that she adores, i.e., everybody
