Members JackPeyton Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 (500) Days of Summer, Inglourious Basterds, The Time Travelers Wife, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell and Star Trek are my fave movies of 2009. Very... random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 Bullock has had a nice resume of decent films, but she has also had some really bad ones too IMO.... Its nice to see her finally being able to showcase her dramatic talents. I saw The Blind Side and thought she was very good and brought something to the table she had never done before. I'd be ok with her winning, its still just a very odd concept to me haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 ^Agreed, I thought she was good in The Blind Side, but nothing really outstanding. But again, such a weak award season for films and performances, I'm not upset about her walking away with an Oscar. The actress I was really impressed with this award season was Carey Mulligan in An Education, but no way in hell is she going to be winning with such a small film and so little buzz, and considering it's her first role as a lead actress, her odds aren't great to begin with. I'm just happy she's getting some of the major nominations this award season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 The only thing that hurts The Hurt Locker is its very minuscule haul at the box office. I totally agree though, far superior film. Alot can be said what Kathryn Bigelow was able to achieve with The Hurt Locker on a fraction of the budget behind the largely CGI Avatar. The Hurt Locker was a great film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm so happy for Kathryn Bigelow and The Hurt Locker, and the added dimension is that Bigelow is one of James Cameron's ex-wives. LOL! She managed to put out a better film with almost no money, and she's making history as the first female director to win all these awards. Next stop, the Academy Awards, where The Hurt Locker should dominate too. Oh. and I'm glad Carey Mulligan at least got some recognition for her performance in An Education at the BAFTA's. Best female performance of the year, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 Bigelow and Firth. That made him happy. And I'm glad Horner lost. Bigelow is shooting another film with Boal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
