Honestly, I haven't seen like 90% of this list :P I'll just trust whatever you guys say until I do so. So now that you asked, how do -you- feel about it? ^^
The noms for the Tourist and Alice in wonderland are a joke. The tourist isn't even a comedy. Thank God Mila Kunis got a nod. And it's so obvious Douglas got a nod out of sympathy. Awful nominations, no Black Swan in screenplay and score is a scandal. The whole comedy category seems like they didn't have who or what to nominate. Where is Due Date? Get him to the greek? I know these movies didn't get best reviews but for the love of God, The Tourist has 20% fresh reviews on rottentomatoes!
I'm pretty sure TSN, The Kids are all right, Fincher, Franco, Portman, Bening, Gyllenhall are going to win. And it looks like Bale is finally going to get something, oh please, than he will look normal in his movies. I'm gonna be quite unhappy that Fincher is going to win not for his masterpieces, se7en or fight club but for simply a very, very good movie - TSN.
I'm with Sati here. I didnot see the Tourist yet but I'm sure it will not be a very good movie (and I'm a Depp fan). I didn't see The Swan either but expectations are a lot higher there.
Having read two versions of script for BS and now the synospis of Perfect Blue - yes there are some similirarities it seems, but only in the beginning. The finale of the story in BS is mindblowing and I count days to the moment I'll see it, because my imagination is running wild for over a year now:)
The pointless constant shaking of the camera, the (lack of) convincing performance of the main actor, the greyness of the film, the lack of anything original.... The only thing I actually liked was Guy Pearce.
yes, exactly Asmodai. Except for me the only thing I like was Ralph Fiennes randomly showing up in the middle of the desert. It's as if this guy had a psychic who tells him which movies will win Oscars.
Watched Le concert (2009)(France) and Kray (2010)(Russia) today. Poor French and Russians if these are their best movies. :-) I look forward to seeing Hævnen (2010)(Denmark), though.
Last year was good ceremony, so it's great Gervais is hosting again.
Best Motion Picture - Drama WHAT SATI WANTS TO WIN - Black Swan WHAT WILL WIN- Social Network
Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy Want/Wins The Kids Are All Right
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama Want/Wins Colin Firth for The King's Speech
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama Want/Wins Natalie Portman for Black Swan
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy Gyllenhaal will win.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy Annette Bening
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture Christian Bale
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture I want Kunis or Carter to win, but I think it may be Kunis to win. Although it's Academy's role to surprise in a shocking way and Globes's role to award those who deserved it for a long time, so maybe Carter. Damn, can't decide, either way I'll be very happy!
Best Director - Motion Picture I want Arronofsky, Fincher will win
Best Screenplay - Motion Picture TSN will win, Black Swan should
Best Original Score - Motion Picture Black Swan which should win is not even nominated, so I couldn't care less
OK, so when there will be the "real" ceremony? Cause I don't believe that Social Network is the best movie they saw last year. Best movie, best screenplay, best original score (sic!)?! But I guess that happens when good movies aren't even nominated (except for Inception, Black Swan and propably Fighter) :/
There is no way The Social Network won't win the Best picture. It's set in stone now. And it's a great movie so it deserves it. Globes did the justice and gave award to Atonement instead of No country but TSN swept too many awards given by the same very peoploe who give Oscars.
"It was a big year for 3D movie, Toy Story, Despicable Me, TRON. It seems like everything this year was three dimensional ... except the characters in The Tourist." xD
