No surprises with Eclipse, Last Airbender and Sex in the City 2...

Oscar nominations are tomorrow morning... already.. Jeez.

Kevy Baby · 01-24-2011, 06:19 PM

No mention of the Golden Globes (January 16)? People's Choice (January 5)?

Alex · 01-24-2011, 07:23 PM

I assume that Bornieo is trying to keep things to awards with some rigor and standards.

I know that the Razzies are more about trying to pick on big names as opposed to truly picking the worst of the movies but the pounding on Twilight really isn't justified. It isn't a great movie but it isn't an awful one either. And it is exactly what the book was so it is what it was trying to be.

Though Taylor Lautner definitely has an acting deficiency.

My heart's with The King's Speech. Which should be nominated, but will probably lose to Social Network. (Which I did like, but not as much.)

Alex · 01-24-2011, 07:57 PM

I loved The King's Speech but must admit that as time passes my memory is drawn more and more to just how misplaced Timothy Spall's Churchill was.

But they're both fine movies which take whatever liberties are necessary with actual events to make a good movie (and I'm ok with that).

Full list of Oscar Nominees

Now I need to go make a list of movies to see...

Strangler Lewis · 01-25-2011, 10:21 AM

Of the grownup movies, I've seen "The Kids Are All Right" and "Inception." I have, however, intensely studied the nominated family films. I guess I've got work to do.

On the snub list, I would add Gael Garcia Bernal for his role as the jerky boyfriend in "Letters to Juliet," the snub of whom proves as always that comedy is undervalued.

Dogtooth? Really? wow.

Toy Story 3 for Best Picture. Interesting.

innerSpaceman · 01-25-2011, 12:16 PM

If I'm not mistaken, Toy Story 3 is the first picture nominated for plain "Best" since Beauty and the Beast, and the very first since the "Best Animated" category was introduced. That's rad.

Personally, I think The Incredibles was worthy of a plain "Best" nom, but it's nice to see the membership rejects automatically putting animated films in that gulag.
