Streep getting the award for a not so great film is one of the few "givies" oscars that i dont have a problem with. She hasnt won one in decades and she has put in a dozen or more remarkable performances since then.

she should have won for doubt

 

[lucius]

I liked The Artist but wasn't my favorite film this year, dog was great though, also almost made me cry near the end, I thought it was a bit slow in parts.

 

[JGS]

Clearly you are forgetting King Ralph.

Monsters Inc. won something :/ .

 

[Zeliard]

You acknowledge The Hobbit and you do it now!!!

Plus Prometheus and Gravity.

Finally - not only Ridley Scott's return to sci-fi, but a new Alfonso Cuaron movie. Which is also sci-fi. Too good. I'm particularly trying to stay away from info on Gravity as much as possible. That film will demand to be viewed with fresh eyes.

As far as sci-fi in 2012 there's also Rian Johnson's Looper, certain to be working with a much smaller budget than the two big ones. It'll be interesting to see how that one ends up.

 

[CloakedPuppet]

It is. There's some good material in there, but it runs for way too long.

This coming from someone who loved The Tree of Life is beyond ironic.

 

[Sanjuro]

What was your favorite Norm tweets?

Her and the dog made that film.

TToL never bored me, The Artist did.

 

[TUROK]

To Transformer should be watch by pigs on a filth.

Okay?

 

[DrForester]

Monsters Inc. won something :/ .

I'm not counting the Best Song win.

 

[Basch]

2012 will be an excellent year. Looking forward to Cogan's Trade and Argo the most.

Toss up between which of the people who died went to hell and Oprah's Oscar.

 

[sullyj]

Adele wins the Grammys, The Artist wins the Oscars, faith in humanity restored til next week.

 

[trilobyte]

Anyone else notice weird feedback coming out of the microphones all night? I thought it was my speakers until I started noticing it on clips from tonight

so annoying...

 

[Deleted member 81567]

cant do it

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

Don't worry dude, just be patient for Michael Bay's remake.

 

[Palmer_v1]

cant do it

Sissy.

 

[Kusagari]

I thought everyone knew Breaking Dawn Part 2 is winning next year?

 

[bluestuff]

Coming next year the long standing vindication of Paul Thomas Anderson for "The Master"

 

[SteveWinwood]

cant do it

Then you're a dirty liar and no one will ever like you again.

 

[Robot 492]

Don't worry dude, just be patient for Michael Bay's remake.

I don't know if you're implying that I like Michael Bay movies or...

 

[Gary Whitta]

I thought everyone knew Breaking Dawn Part 2 is winning next year?

Well obviously, as with Lord of the Rings they will give it to the last movie to honor the entire series.

Yea i ignored it.

 

[lunarworks]

I don't know why I watched that whole thing.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Then you're a dirty liar and no one will ever like you again.

I'm insecure, I'm uncircumcised.

 

[Zeliard]

Daniel Day-Lewis seems an obvious lock for a win as Lincoln next year. It's exactly the type of role the Academy loves, and I don't think there's any doubt he'll deliver.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

My favorite part was Best Picture video/nominations

wheee moneyball

 

[TUROK]

Don't worry dude, just be patient for Michael Bay's remake.

Silent explosions... Holy shit, this is going to revolutionize cinema.

 

[VeryGooster]

What was your favorite Norm tweets?

"Do you want to thank the Allied Forces?"
"Please show some grace and thank the Allied Forces."
"For the love of God, thank the boys that stormed Normandy. Please."

Cracking up

 

[DrForester]

Well obviously, as with Lord of the Rings they will give it to the last movie to honor the entire series.

Harry Potter got shafted this year. Rickman deserved a nomination...

 

[Palmer_v1]

I'm insecure, I'm uncircumcised.

Turning this into a pro/anti circumcision thread might actually be an improvement overall. Still a sissy though.

THE TWIST better be good so you get a nod, Gary.

Oscar whiners are some of the most annoying there are.

Maybe it's their "fuck this! I'm done! it's over! old men! outdated! nostalgia! I'm never watching again!" thing every year like clockwork.

How many times can you "quit forever" anyway?

 

[-Kees-]

So the only movie to win more than 1 Oscar other than Hugo and The Artist was the The Iron Lady?

Uhhhh

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Next year, Lincoln is sweeping everything

 

[Deleted member 81567]

I can pm it.

They are all wrestling fans, with the same mindset.

 

[Fjordson]

What's with the backlash? The Artist was a great movie.

I think movies that clean up a lot of awards will almost always get that.

I really enjoyed it personally. Glad to see it win.

 

[xir]

What was the song being played during the final montage listing all the films nominated for Best Picture? Sounded like a Godspeed You Black Emperor song or something I've heard before, but I couldn't quite place it.

 

[Basch]

Coming next year the long standing vindication of Paul Thomas Anderson for "The Master"

Oh yeah, that's right. Hopefully the Coens can cook up something good in time for a 2007-repeat:

Andrew Dominik vs. Paul Thomas Anderson vs. The Coens vs. Ben Affleck vs. Ridley Scott vs. Tony Gilroy vs. Joe Wright

 

[EatinOlives]

I wonder how many of the haters actually saw the movie. Same goes for Streep.

Best outcome that could've happened for best Actor/Actress/Movie. I loved Hugo as well but tying for most Oscars with 5 awards it's not like it was snubbed or anything. Cherry on top was Rango winning best animated film. Overall, not bad at all.

 

[artist]

Adele wins the Grammys, The Artist wins the Oscars, faith in humanity restored til next week.

That just reinforces the fact that you've got shitty taste.

Such a wuss.

Alfonso Cuaron?

 

[lenovox1]

I can pm it.

Aw, wimping out? Well then you have to PM it to everyone that's posted in this thread. Waiting. . .

 

[thecouncil]

she shouldve won best supporting, probably. the movie would not have been the same without her.

jean dujardin and best picture wins were well deserved though. his performance in that movie was really wonderful.

i also thought 'the artist' looked boring but i saw it and it was my favorite movie of last year. well, drive too, but that wasnt an option for some reason.

It's from Super Moneyball for SNES.
