Anyone care to help me out?
Hey
So myself and a few friends are planning on having a little "Oscar Party" this year. Bunch of us are coming over to my house and watching the Oscars. Now, I want to be as knowledgable as possible...even though I've only seen 2 of the movies nominated in major categories (Pan's Labyrinth and Pursuit of Happyness), plus a few up for technical awards (Pirates of the Carribean, Superman Returns) I was just wondering if anyone has a list of nominated movies that are out on DVD. I know a few, just wondering if anyone has a complete list? |

For Sci-Tech awards, click this one :- Sci-Tech Awards 2006 Richard Edlund, a visual effects expert who won Oscars® for his work on “Star Wars,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Return of the Jedi,” has been voted the John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 1983 Edlund founded Boss Film Studios and began work on “Ghostbusters.” Through 1997, the studio produced visual effects for more than 30 motion pictures, including “2010,” “Die Hard,” “Ghost,” “Poltergeist II: The Other Side,” “Cliffhanger,” “Batman Returns,” “Alien 3,” “Species,” “Multiplicity” and “Air Force One.” Edlund has also earned six additional Academy Award® nominations and three Scientific and Engineering Awards. He also won an Emmy® Award for visual effects for the TV series “Battlestar Galactica.” Ray Feeney, a pioneer of software solutions for visual effects in motion pictures, has been voted the Gordon E. Sawyer Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Sherry Lansing, the former chairman of Paramount Pictures Motion Picture Group, has been voted the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Composer-conductor Ennio Morricone, who has composed more than 300 motion picture scores over a 45-year career, has been voted an Honorary Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Morricone has earned five Academy Award nominations for original score — for “Days of Heaven” (1978), “The Mission” (1986), “The Untouchables” (1987), “Bugsy” (1991) and “Malèna” (2000) — but has not previously received an Oscar. While the bulk of his work has been on Italian films, including “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Once upon a Time in America” and “Cinema Paradiso,” Morricone has composed memorable scores for such international titles as “Bulworth,” “In the Line of Fire,” “La Cage aux Folles” and “Two Mules for Sister Sara.” His current project, “Leningrad,” has been announced for a 2008 release. Born in Rome, Morricone was hired in 1964 by Sergio Leone and began a long collaboration with the director on what came to be known as “spaghetti westerns,” though his career has spanned most film genres from comedy to romance to horror. Thats all of 'em.:p (grabbing the spotlight from Flayed and shining it upon myself as a halo):cool: Good luck hunting em down on DVD, Return bro.:) |
Thanks Austin - you actually read my post:p

Unfortunately, all of the really good Oscar flicks won't be on DVD in time...except for the best one: The Departed. Return, listen to me: You Need To See This Film.
Babel comes out on Tuesday (like Austin said). Get it. It's spectacular. Little Miss Sunshine is essential viwing, it's the only really light-hearted Best Picture film. Get United 93 if you guys have balls, but it's extremely hard to watch. Very tense, very sad. The Illusionist is awesome. I'd check it out if I were you, I think it's your type of movie. Don't get An Inconvenient Truth for the party. It's a really, really good documentary, but you wouldn't be able to really watch it with friends. Cars (especially) and Monster House are both really fun. The only one out that I haven't seen is Flags of Our Fathers, but from what I hear it's a good one to check out. It may be a good idea to check one out in theaters for the party as well, take a trip to the cinema. The Last King of Scotland The Queen Blood Diamond Children of Men are all good, and big, Oscar movies I can vouch for. |
