There have been worse. Such as the last time Cameron made a movie.

[Hammock Parties]

Hans Zimmer is up for another Academy Award?

I disagree. Frankly, they'd already lost respectability when they gave it to "Shakespeare In Love" over "Saving Private Ryan". "Braveheart" over "Apollo 13" wasn't that great of a choice in my book, either. Nor was "The English Patient" over "Fargo". "Chicago"? "LOTR: Return Of The King"? "Million Dollar Baby" over "The Aviator"? "Crash" over "Brokeba..."... uhh, never mind, LOL. The Oscars are only a slightly-better popularity-contest than the NFL Pro Bowl.

And it's not like this year's lineup has a must-win pic. "Basterds" was a solid Tarantino pic but, really, is there anything in it that screamed "Best Picture Oscar" to you when you saw it? Hell, if "Pulp Fiction" lost to "Forrest Gump", I can't see why it would be a shocker for "Basterds" to lose to "Avatar". I was surprised it was even nominated. "The Hurt Locker", while generally praised, also has its share of detractors.

And, don't forget, they have an entirely new voting process this year which really f**ks it up. They had people list them 1-10, and the one with the least 1 votes gets tossed, and those who voted that film 1 they then take their 2 vote, and they keep doing that. A strange way of tabulating which could throw a monkey wrench into things.

Of course the fat black bitch won.

THIS IS AMERICA

DAMMIT

Did you ever think that, perhaps, the reason you've never had a girlfriend is because you're a cocksucking motherf**king waste of oxygen asshole f**kface douchebag who would've been better served if your daddy had pulled out and let you dribble down his f**king leg? Really. How the f**k they let you stay around here, with some of the shit you say, is shocking.

And you're more of a fat black bitch than she is, you f**kstick. AIDS tree, antifreeze, fire, you. I apologize to whoever else is on my Ignore List for sending you there; they deserve better company.

Good points on past winners. I'm just a huge fan of Hurt Locker, and don't think Avatar is a more solid movie than HL. Maybe it's just the whole WTF vibe of Private Ryan not winning bubbling back to the surface...

No, that never crossed my mind.

What you don't understand is that Chiefsplanet is the place for me to talk like that. I would never do it in real life. Unless I was alone with my cousin. He gets me.

Incidentally he's never had a girlfriend, either.

Is it the frequent masturbation or pot stirring that make your forearms so stout?

I never seen Maggie Gyllenhall looking so hot to be frank. I'd paddle her bottom. And normally I think she's "meh."

[MahiMike]

I didn't see anything worthy of an award other than the German guy in Bastards. He was very good.
