I gotta think Tree of Life is the favorite, though I can see The Descendants mounting a challenge for those who found the film too "weird."
|
This is going to suck big time!

WHIPPED!!! But seriously, Bridesmaids was a fun watch. I doubt that's enough to give it an Oscar nomination tho. |

I haven't seen any of the nominated films. I'm hoping to see Tinker Tailor this weekend.
|
Roshiq was right. What a terrible year.:mad:
|
Yeah this is gonna suck. Still gonna watch all the nominated movies and watch the oscars. Not very excited about it though.
|
I think this time the Academy got an interesting opportunity to do something very rare & original...by NOT declaring any winner in the major categories..."Sorry, the academy hasn't find any of them Oscar-worthy! Try something really better next time. Good night.":D

And the WINNERS are (highlighted in bold)...

A truly magnificent film based on the silent era of film-making. I urge everyone strongly to check it out asap. Truly, the year of The Artist in 2012 Oscars. And I predict that Prometheus will take at least one Oscar next year. What say? (Hush, Angra!) |
The Artist is the biggest rmake concept ever, of course it got the gong.

Whoever was responsible for Meryl Streep winning for The Iron Lady should be shot

Man Drive got cheated. It deserved an Oscar for cinematography alone and was a far more worthy nomination than Moneyball (can't comment on the others as I've yet to watch them).

i really like The ARTIST - thought the DECENDANTS was overrated
|
got me a copy of The Artist but the sound was all fucked up
