Pb Derigable Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) MILK will win. Best movie ever. Sean Penn will win too. Best actor ever. Im sorry, do other people beside homosexuals and Hugo Chavez vote? I heard "DrumLine" is on TBS on sunday night. Since hanging myself is no longer viable due to the "crisis" Pres. Obama keeps referring too. I maybe stomping in no time. Bang Bang Bang Skeet Skeet Skeet! Edited February 20, 2009 by Pb Derigable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JukeboxJim Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire will likely clean up with the most awards. Rourke is almost a shoe-in to win. Ledger is all but guaranteed. The rest I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Da-Lo Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Gran Torino! Wait...they got... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JukeboxJim Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Eastwood so deserved to get nominated for best actor for Gran Torino. He carried that movie, and did a really good job with it too. He could've also easily got a nod for Best Director for it, or even Changeling. There were a lot of good movies this year, so a lot of worthy ones are going to/got get snubbed.

Melanie_72 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The only movie I saw out of all the nominations is the "Dark Knight". I am pulling for Heath to win best supporting actor( I think he is going to get it), Kate Winslet for best actress, I just think she is amazing and either Mickey Rourke or Sean Penn for best actor. They are always good, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I enjoyed Slumdog Millionaire, but how often does the academy recognize indie films? On the basis of quality it should have a good chance, but so much depends on whether they liked it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thats it Im D/L Slumdog now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanetPage Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 So, what do you think ....Slumdog..... The Theme of the movie is "most relevant" to current generation at large...to find love over $$$... a bit of background... I was raised on this classic 60's-70's "Theme" in Indian Cinema, Danny Boyle has watched many such movies from Indian cinema before making SDM): ...two long lost people, one is rich other is poor, the rich never forgets where he came from....the sign of innocent times.... also, I think the music and "Lyrics" will also go to SDM.. (like most Indians, I like AR Rehman's music in other Indian films, not SLM...this is not a music for the masses in India...he has very talented and incredible competition at home.... (As for lyrics...Gulzar should win...He is not just a lyricist, but an poet of epic proportions...but I really don't know how the Academy looks at this deal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I enjoyed Slumdog Millionaire, but how often does the academy recognize indie films? On the basis of quality it should have a good chance, but so much depends on whether they liked it or not. Sadly that is true but I hope we are both wrong and it does get the recognition. So hard to say what goes behind their decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Wow. What a Movie. Didn't see Gran Torino yet, but I have to believe it can't beat slumdog. MILK is gay/sucks/blows/retarded/stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMooch Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If you're not watching TV you can keep up to date with this link, http://www.oscar.com/ On the right of the screen it has the winners listed. You can click on the winner and see what others were up for nomination too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I suppose I'll just go and watch it. Don't have much interest in any of the movies this year. Now the Grammys on the other hand...well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the Grammys on the other hand...well... I have a passing interest in the winners and I'm checking updates on that link I posted, but I have other research and computer projects I'm doing. I couldn't care less about the glamour and presentation though. Now the Grammys on the other hand...well... Ditto! To a point anyway.

BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Heath Ledger won. His family accepted the Oscar on his behalf. That's great! I thought his performance was wonderful. What a tragic loss of a good actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Sometimes Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 That top hat/tux tribute to musicals was pretty lame. What I don't get is these award extravaganzas always go way over on time, but if they would just cut out all the extraneous BS that wouldn't be a problem.
