Members DRW50 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 Pretty pictures. Maggie G is starting to look like Kathleen Turner. How Penelope Cruz gets all this attention I don't know. Was she the best part of Nine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 I am so glad that Avatar did not get a screenplay nom! So glad! I wonder who will win. For original, either the Coens or Tarantino, and for adapted, I think it will be Up in the Air. None of the adapted screenplay movies attract me. Perhaps Fletcher should win? I don't know. Funny how they put them on the bottom of the page. Another horrifying thing is that Horner will probably win for the Avatar soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 I haven't seen any of movies since those he made in the '80s. Not because I dislike him, I guess I'm just not interested enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 That is funny. Because they are very artistic, soapy, melodramatic, kitsch and campy with complex narratives and I believe he would be able to write a full-fledged, bombastic TV soap opera.

Members Steve Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 I didn't see as many movies this past year as I usually do (having tripped over a log and breaking my right wrist last summer, hence hospital bills to pay for having a steel plate inserted), but overall I'm pleased. I'm especially glad to see The Hurt Locker, An Education, Precious and Up in the Air included in several categories. I do have to question whether The Blind Side was that good a film. It looked from the commercials like a run-of-the-mill Lifetime movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 Penolpe? Maggie? The eff?! They are so underwhelming, IMHO. They are not awful or even bad, but they are far from great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 The one good thing about this list is that, on the acting side, there is a lot of emerging talent very likely to win. I mean, amid all the Clooneys and Bullocks and Streeps (seriously, how often can George Clooney get nominated?), we have Gaby Sidibe and Mo'Nique who I think will sweep their respective categories. There is also Christopher Waltz, a complete unknown outside Germany and Austria. I hope Kathryn Bigelow wins Best Director. Haven't seem The Hurt Locker, I just like her. And Avatar will win something. Hollywood rewards the films that make it financially. Remember Titanic? Oh, and I want to see A Single Man so badly.

Members DRW50 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm surprised they didn't manage to nominate Clint Eastwood again. Kathryn used to direct for Homicide and Oz, didn't she? Oz in particular had a lot of strong directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 Holy [!@#$%^&*], Batman. Mo'Nique "Nikki Parker/Heeeeeey Boo!" (no last name) is an Academy Award nominee. I'm impressed. Precious was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 YAY for Carey Mulligan getting a nom! Happy for The Hurt Locker and Kathryn Bigelow, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 Go Sandra! She was really good. I know Mo'Nique will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
