I agree.I don't like the Oscars. They're so shit. It's basically "Who's best at stuff according to middle aged white men". How can a movie get a nomination for Best Movie and a director not get a nomination for Best Director? That's basically the same thing. Director is the movie if it's a good one. If it's got a good cinematographer and actors as well it can be a great one. But it can't be great if you've got great actors, script and shitty directing.
I would love that, just for the outrage it would cause.the tree of life/movie, jean dujardin, rooney mara/michelle williams, nick nolte, jessica chastain, midnight in paris/orig. screenplay& directing, the descendents/adapted screenplay
I have always wondered that myself.I don't like the Oscars. They're so shit. It's basically "Who's best at stuff according to middle aged white men".

Might be reasons for that. The are some rules about a movie being have to be shown in certain theaters in America to be able to count in the Oscars. If it didn't do that it can't be nominated.Senna wasn't nominated for best documentary so I'm mildly peeved at the Oscars for now.
Hope Gary Oldman wins though.
And Thatcher is?!Oldman would be a decent shout for best actor. Meryl Streep will surely win best actress again although Rooney Mara gave a great performance as well but the character she played probably wasn't likable enough to win.
I think the voting audience will find sympathy for her as played in the film. Lizbeth is deliberately played as rather unlikeable. I thought both performances were very good BTW.And Thatcher is?!
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is shit though. Do you go in for the whole "he's due for one" thing, or do you not think an Oscar win should count for the actual film in question?This man is really due an award.
I think Cristopher Plummer will win it though, who also deserves one.
I've heard the film is gash but that his performance was great, after all it's the performance the award is based on. I don't think he should get one just for excellent performances in the past but he deserves to have an Oscar in his resume and now's the ideal time!Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is shit though. Do you go in for the whole "he's due for or one" thing, or do you not think an Oscar win should count for the actual film in question?
Yeah that Charlie Chaplin chap was rubbish and weird as feck.This Artist movie, it's quite rubbish isn't it? It's a fecking silent black and white movie, do they give away Oscars just because you've managed to make a weird movie?
He created these movies at a time when no other technology was available. It wasn't weird at all, I can't comment on rubbish part because I've never watched any - he was apparently very good, or so I am told.Yeah that Charlie Chaplin chap was rubbish and weird as feck.
Yeh, but they didn't have the choice then did they?Yeah that Charlie Chaplin chap was rubbish and weird as feck.
I can understand people not liking it being a silent film but what's wrong with black and white?
Black and white is fine I guess if there's any point of making it that way. Silent is plain weird.I can understand people not liking it being a silent film but what's wrong with black and white?
She hasn't been beautiful since The Mask.Cameron Diaz was so beautiful
