|
|
The nominees for the 82nd Academy Awards were just announced. So who's going to win on March 7, 2010?
I think Avatar's going to rake in a bunch of the technical awards (as it should) and may even pick up best picture (which I don't think it should). We'll see!
In the "that's interesting department" note that Pixar's "Up" was nominated for a best picture. I believe it's the first time a full length animated feature is up for for best picture!

Last year they decided to go back to an expanded field. 1943 was the last year w/ 10 nominees. (Casablanca won).
1934 and 35 had 12 nominees.

I have no comment because the only movie on that list I saw was Star Trek. I'd like to know how you fit so much into your head Kal from being able to list all nominees, balance the fine art of a home theatre whilst knowing every aspect from picture and sound inside and out, brew master extraordinaire and electrical genius for designing a custom setup, maintain and code a forum along with your actual job.

The web? Google? Wiki? Copy/paste from Oscars site? 
http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/82/nominees.html
I haven't seen a whole bunch of those movies yet, because I rarely go to the "public" theater, but we've watched a LOT of movies this winter...
Inglorious Basterds was a good flick. Up was great. Coraline was excellent. Hurt locker was really good. Food, Inc. was a good documentary. Star Trek was really good. Avatar was good, but I hope it doesn't scoop a bunch of awards beyond the amazing technical production stuff, because the directing and acting weren't really anything to write home about.
Other than those, I gotta get some more watchin' done!

I wonder what criteria the academy voters use for defining a picture meeting candidacy. Heck, even District-9 got nominated for something.

I gotta see that. Looks like a good film. I caught the presentation to the director last night. She looked totally shocked. Then she had to come back out for the 2nd Oscar she was floored. The cast was certainly happy too.

Yeah it's funny how Cameron didn't get much isn't it?

dunno. i saw Streep's and Bullock's performance and thought that while the idea of Julie/Julia was clever, the performance ranged from one extreme of ho-hum to the other of an akaroyd-like caricature while i found Bullock's performance to be even and strong.
Now look at the actor's themselves. Meryl Streep is a dramatic artist - this is what she does. Sandra Bullock on the other hand is a B-grade comedy actor. Sure, there have been a few exceptions (Hope Floats), but for the most part she is "Two Weeks Later", "Miss Congeniality" and "The Proposal". Fine movies for what they are, but to come from that and pull of the performance she did in "The Blind Side" is worthy of recognition.
IMHO

I just think the film and the role are not oscar worthy. Unless you mean best supporting actress, which has been a throwaway for years!!!
I just dont think it rose to that level.

The biggest change people noticed about the 82nd annual Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards ceremony was undoubtedly the fact that there were 10 nominees for Best Picture, instead of the usual five. The biggest change in 2010 was more “behind the scenes” information.

The additional nominations did not seem to do anything other than self-promote the movies in the box office and nothing else. It was all Hollywood marketing.
