I watched it again last night and I have to say, I'd love to see the Academy break Wall-e out of the animated category to compete with the big boys.

It will, I think. Benjamin Button's getting pretty mixed reviews now, and Dark Knight has gained more steam since its DVD release. Plus the Golden Globe nominations were jack shit of an indication this year.

I think bejamin Button will still definitely get a Best Picture nomination. One movie I was positive that would get a nomination (and am now not so sure it will) is Milk. t seems like Focus really dropped the ball by not properly expanding this film after it has been doing so well. Are they waiting for the Oscar noms to be announced or something? This should have been in the amount of screens Brokeback Mountain was and they still have Milk playing in the same 350 or 360 screens since last month Theres only so many people in those areas the film is showing in who are going to see this. Put it in other screens now.

Penelope Cruz is getting more pluadits than Rosemary DeWitt? How very curious.

I just saw The Wrestler and as far as I'm concerned, the Best Actor race is over. Rourke was amazing.

It'll still probably go to Penn which, excellent as Penn was, is a travesty. Far as I'm concerned Rourke's was the performance of the decade.

Thinking the same thing. When I saw Milk I left thinking that Sean Penn was amazing and he had the statue wrapped up. A week later I saw The Wrestler and all of those feeling went out the door, Mickey Rourke deserves it but I have a feeling Sean Penn will win.
Can we just let Penn and Rourke box over it? I'd tune in to see that. :) |
Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2009 Oscar pre-nomination discussion
I'd like to see them have a fight while in character from their respective movies.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2009 Oscar pre-nomination discussion
Ugh - I wish The Wrestler would go wide already. Only playing at one place around here I think.

What, Rourke comes out swinging and Penn's all like "I know you're ANGRY! I'M ANG-" K.O. Rourke wins.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2009 Oscar pre-nomination discussion
I don't think Penn is going to win. He already won. He has that going against him.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2009 Oscar pre-nomination discussion
Shouldn't Langella be up for best supporting actor in Frost/Nixon? Michael Sheen (who should easily be getting the nom over Eastwood) was the lead actor.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2009 Oscar pre-nomination discussion
I've seen "Revolutionary Road" and "The Reader" in one week. For fuck sake, will the Academy give Winslet the Oscar already!? Both are two of the year's very best films. And she gives the two best performances by a female in 2008. Hands down.
