I thought she was funny. Kind of like a female Alan from The Hangover. Bridesmaids made me laugh quite a lot actually. Also, her being nominated is quite inspirational to me. If you can get an oscar nom for pretending to shit in a sink then anything is possible!
I thought she was just a stereotypical gratuitous fat girl... it was nothing new or overly funny... and there were for my tasteToo many shit/fart jokes.
Yeah I see where you're coming from. Perhaps there weren't too many other candidates. Looking at the other nominees there is two from the same film and one woman who was in a film called Albert Nobbs, whatever the hell that is.
Not heard or seen it either... and from that description, I don't plan on doing! At least the lead actress field is strong... though Charlize Theron can count herself unlucky for her performance in Young Adult.
Unbelievably... yes.
Ok the annual list of movies I am supposed to not watch is out.
He was very good in Moneyball I thought, his first really serious role wasn't it?
I thought he was good too but not Oscar good.
A Seperation will probably have that award all but sewn up. I would have had The Skin I Live In among the nominations but I guess it wasn't submitted for the same reasons a film like Oldboy was never submitted.
Yes, most film critics predict that it will be A Seperation, without a doubt. Haven't seen any of the other nominees, but Bullhead really is a great film. Probably the best Belgian film I've ever seen. A great dark, raw drama and a superb lead by Matthias Schoenaerts.
How does it compare to Man Bites Dog?
Haven't seen that one yet. Is it Belgian?
It does sound like the thing that usually ticks my boxes. I'll look into it.
Most remarkable is that this is the director's debut as well.
But then again, Mo'Nique and Jennifer Hudson won one each. It's probably Oscar good.
Yup. Steroids do that for you.
Wouldn't put it past him. But he really did train and eat enormous amounts for months.
Sure, he probably did lots of hard work. But that amount of muscle can't be achieved in such a short time. Someone professional correct me if I'm wrong here.
I don't want to appear cynical but it says Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close deals a bit with 9/11 which might have played a part in it landing a nomination.
I think both of those films could have been a lot better with some decent editing, especially The New World which was almost ruined by terrible editing. I guess it's his style but I think it often hurts the films and makes them feel a bit disjointed.
Best Achievement in Sound Editing
wow..
