Awards Season 2011

[domino harvey]

Kenneth Brannagh's hair, though, should win something

[Brian C]

Yeah I'd have to say Plummer here too.

[HistoryProf]

2012....year of Scorcese.

[HistoryProf]

Yay for Christopher Plummer! I absolutely LOVED Beginners. well deserved.

[domino harvey]

Goddamn right Plummer. It's a shame Beginners didn't go the distance here, but it's wonderful and so is he

[knives]

It sucks that this is only his first though. He's one of those guys who deserves lots.

[Brian C]

Me (to my wife): Beginners is a really good movie and I think you'd like it.
My wife: You're talking to me?
Me: Yeah.
My wife: We saw it, together.

[HistoryProf]

Goddamn right Plummer. It's a shame Beginners didn't go the distance here, but it's wonderful and so is he

i noticed you and i were the only ones here to have it in our top tens - which frankly shocked me. extremely moving film.

[Brian C]

It sucks that this is only his first though. He's one of those guys who deserves lots.

He usually annoys me, actually. But I'm glad he won this one.

[knives]

There are people who don't love him? Wow, I never thought that would happen. Admittedly he's the poor man's O'Toole, but that still pretty good.

[Brian C]

Me too! But I have it on my 2010 list.

It really is-- I think I literally spent every minute of it either laughing or crying

He should have won for The Insider ... and I don't usually like to play the "shoulda won/been nominated" game.

[Brian C]

I liked him in The Insider too. But he did get a nomination for The Last Station which I thought was awful and which I thought he was intolerable in.

[flyonthewall2983]

I don't even think he was nominated for that, and you're right. It's obvious playing Mike Wallace turned out to be some good karma for him, as someone else being as busy at such an advanced age.

[Brian C]

I couldn't care less about any of these music nominees.

[domino harvey]

Whoops, they accidentally didn't give an award to Hugo

[flyonthewall2983]

No Trent/Atticus and Cliff, don't care.

[knives]

I wish Tinker had won. That's a great score (I really need to see the film though).

[Brian C]

I'm not listening - did he thank Bernard Herrmann?

[domino harvey]

I'm not listening - did he thank Bernard Herrmann?

Can I get a flag on that play?

[Brian C]

Don't pretend that you weren't thinking it.

[knives]

I wasn't because that's a stupid controversy.

[HistoryProf]

was there really only two songs nominated?

[Brian C]

I wasn't because that's a stupid controversy.

I don't disagree but at the same time I would have a hard time voting for a score that punted on its climactic scene.
