OSCARS

Nominees are here!

So who wants what to win?

Personally I would like Inception to take the award, but I highly doubt Hollywood would let that happen. Christopher Nolan's not even nominated for Director. :(

I'm guessing either The Social Network or Black Swan would win the Best Picture.

I've seen the majority of the Best Picture nominees and would have to agree with you that Inception was the best overall movie I saw last year. It had high production values, was well-directed and had an original premise. Black Swan, the King's Speech and the Social Network were all great, but in terms of overall enjoyment and movie-making, I thought Inception was the best. This also isn't the first time Nolan has been snubbed.

Although I feel that way, I'm pretty sure the King's Speech or the Social Network will win.

"Actress in a Supporting Role" for Hailee Steinfeld for True Grit? I mean, I love Jeff Bridges, but she WAS the movie. Just my opinion.

Yes, The illusionist is among the nominees (french pride :p)

But I strongly think Toys story 3 will get the prize. If it's the case, it will be 4 prizes in a row for Pixar : Ratatouille in 2008, Wall-E in 2009, Up in 2010 O.o
But I can't deny the incredible qualities of Pixar movies.

Is it just me or do other people have no desire whatsoever to see the Social Network.

But whatever Black Swan wins it totally deserves.

I don't either. I also don't have any desire to be on Facebook - that might have something to do with it. I also see about 2 or 3 movies a year (in theaters) at most.

They have Christian Bale as a supporting role nominee but not Marky Mark as the leading role.
Ah well, for best Actor in a Supporting Role goes to Christian Bale, I'm sure of it. He was great in that movie.

I actually have a dollar bet with a friend over what gets Best Animated Feature. He says Dragon, which I'd like to see happen, but realistically I say Toy Story 3 will win it.

Oh yeah the copy of Perfect Blue =)

Black Swan trailer with Perfect Blue

And no reference at all about perfect blue in his new movie. At least Darren Aronofsky could have quoted Satoshi Kon in the credits.
But apparently, he acknowledged there being similarities between the 2 movies.

We know he's a big fan of Satoshi Kon.
He did already an implied reference in Requiem for a dream : he actually paid for the rights to Perfect Blue in order to use the live-action version of the bathtub scene for Requiem for a Dream.

I haven't seen Black Swan yet, but I do like Aronofsky. I might check it out next week.

2 questions:

1) Why is Tron not nominated for Best Special FX, but Hereafter is?

2) Where's the animated love for Despicable Me?

If you actually have seen Black Swan, and claiming it's a copy of Perfect Blue. Then you sir, are an idiot.
