The Oscars thread.
Anyone watching the awards?
I'm pulling for Hurt Locker. AMAZING movie... shame someone actually spent the money on a smear campaign to hurt their chances. |

I am. The John Hughes tribute was great. The 80's sucked, John made them bearable with his films!

I cant believe Avatar got robbed for best picture. How can the biggest grossing film of alltime not be the best movie of the year. Its also an awesome film. I guess Jim really pissed off AMPAS again lol.

Perhaps because when you take away the visuals its essentially the same story as Pocahontas (or one of any number of other similar movies)

Avatar was overhyped. It looked amazing, but the movie itself was uber-weak. The hurt locker was just incredible, and deserved every award it won last night. Overall the Oscars were good. Baldwin/Martin were funny. Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson looked like hell, but the tribute to Hughes was cool. I could've done without the 15 minutes of interpretive dance, though. And it kind of bothered me that people who won awards were given such a short time to deliver their thank yous, but Ben Stiller (as funny as his bit was) was on stage for 5 minutes before he even introduced a category.

Avatar also lost out on sound editing, which was fine by me. Too many reused sounds to give it an award. Basically every creature used a dinosaur sound from Jurassic Park. They could have been more original.

I agree on Hurt Locker- it was excellent. Avatar absolutely deserved every technical achievement award that they could throw at it- and it was a very fun movie, but it wasn't an excellent movie as far as story goes.

Secondly it was fitting that hurt locker won, because they always give it , these days, to stuff nobody wants to see. And just think if Cameron won best director. They didn't give Scorsese that till like a year ago, and Spielberg has only won once. If Star Wars didn't win, i sure as hell didn't want avatar to win. |
