2009 Oscars
Starting this on the main board since it's a once-a-year dealio...

Just returned home from the annual AMC marathon, and here's my thoughts, in no particular order:

As was the case last year, the best picture I was was the last picture I saw. In '08 that was No Country for Old Men. This year it was Frost/Nixen.

I thought this was a particularly weak year, none of these films struck me as 'great', and I think most if not all of the movies up for the award last year were better. My order would be: 1. Frost/Nixon, 2. The Reader, 3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 4. Milk, 5. Slumdog Millionaire. None of the films were bad, by any stretch, but I don't see myself going out of my way to see any of them again. I thought The Dark Knight was as good as any of them. I haven't seen The Wrestler, but my guess it I'll believe it was snubbed.

Best actor from the films I saw was Frank Langella as Nixon. Penn was good as Milk, but Langella was on another plateau. Brad Pitt was also very good.

I have no idea why Josh Brolin got a best supporting nod. James Franco was the supporting meat of that movie. No pun intended.

Kate Winslet was the only Best Actress nominee I saw, and she was extremely good. That film surprised me: I'd heard people complain about its best picture nomination, but I thought it was very good.

That's all I got for now.

It's really good.

I dunno if it's that good, but it's a quality flick.

WTF?

TBA's got an unnatural hatred for Mickey Rourke? Weird.

How does that even happen? The dude hasn't really been heard from in years.

FTR, He was awesome in "The Wrestler".

This year was definitely weaker than last. I don't think any of these films were on par with No Country for Old Men or There Will be Blood.

Unnatural is your word, not mine. He is a talentless hack, with no facial movement. The only role he could play would be an actual gargoyle.

I wasn't such a fan of No Country For Old Men either. But it was better than anything with Mickey Roarke.

It was debunked shortly after it hit the net. The company that tabulates the ballots wouldn't have been finished by then, and nobody in the academy knows who's going to win until the names are read.
