Newsflash: In each category, the only nominee that had any buzz was the one that won. (See: every year)

Gabourey Sidibe had a lot of buzz. Then of course there was Avatar. Also Jim Cameron.
Anyway the show was pretty boring. Way to play it safe, losers. And they still went over time anyway. When you think about it, the show was pretty much disastrous.

It appears we have gone from "I watch award shows because I want to know what are good movies to watch" to "I don't watch award shows because I don't care what others think are good movies" to "I only watch award shows so I can ironically mock them later."

Yeah I had absolutely no interest in it. Had it on in another room and just sort of listened in--how many times did I have to be told "For the first time ... It could be a woman! An african american! .... or some other dudes!" Saw Mo'Nique's acceptance speech which proved how little she deserved it: thanking oprah, tyler perry, BET and your attorney? Fuck.

The watching is ironic, the mocking genuine. |

When it's done right (Billy Crystal era) the show can be enjoyable even if the awards suck. Not this time though.
Also if it weren't for "The Blind Side," "Precious" would be the most hideously racist film up for an award.

If the Blind Side won anything, I hope they thanked the ESPN marketing machine.

Well I thought 2006 and 2007's best picture winners were legitimately the best pictures of the year. The problem is that 2008 and 2009's winners were simply good movies but not good enough to be nominated, let alone win. What pissed me off the most this year were the 10 nominees. It's no longer that special to be nominated for best picture. And really, how much did the new voting change the outcome? I don't think it did at all. With five nominees, Hurt Locker is still best picture. |

Whole lot of whining in this thread
Hurt Locker deserved it, I would have been fine with Up, District 9, The Inglourious Basterds, A Serious Man or Up in the Air winning (despite Jason Reitman apparently being a douchebag) but Hurt was pretty much better than all of these. (except maybe Basterds and A Serious Man)
As for the 10 nominees, WHO CARES, they used to do fucking 12 and considering hundreds of movies get released, adding 5 more to the list is pretty harmless considering, as usual, at least half didn't deserve a nomination.
And I liked the awards this year, Steve and Alec were pretty funny, the awards themselves were all locks in advance but I liked most of the other stuff, including the Horror films montage except who introduced it and them including fucking Twilight in it.

Brak's probably the kind of guy who thinks there's nothing wrong with Jim Rice being in the HoF.
Also why did you like that stupid montage when it contained not one foreign film, notably no giallos? But it saved time for Edward Scissorhands, Twilight and the De Niro adaptation of Frankenstein? You fucking sellout.

Because it's an American awards show
Honoring American films
So obviously they'd stick with American Horror films
With the exception of Nosferatu, I don't think anything else was made out of the U.S.
Edward Scissorhands didn't bother me, neither did anything else they included other than fucking Twilight
They should have at least put in a clip from Near Dark considering the director is Kathryn Bigelow.
And hey, if Jim Rice can get in, Chipper/Bobby/Greg/Tom/Smoltz are all locks

Look at this dumbo trying to retroactively justify his awful opinion. Also backhandedly compliments his Braves nigs by comparing them to shitball Jim Rice.
I'm done with this clown. Next

Gray isn't visible during most of the interview — thank God — but about five minutes into their talk LeBron glances down slightly, and suddenly I was conscious of feeling Gray's off-camera eyes locked on LeBron's crotch during LeBron's answers.

I still can't believe they nominated 10 fucking movies. And I'm certain that at least 7 of those 10 shouldn't even be in the conversation of Top 25.
