I really wish Inglorious Basterds would win. The award should go to a FUN WW II movie. But it will probably wind up going to the Hurt Locker.

I agree; IMO, Inglourious Basterds was the best film I saw last year.

Really. I want the Academy to get off its high horse and start giving the award to FUN movies. Not whatever's the biggest weep fest or the dreaded "We pretend to care about social issues when it's more acceptable and cowardly to do so" film. I say this every year, but the big Hollywood "prestige films" that deal with this stuff always happen several years after it becomes acceptable to do so.

The Hurt Locker sounds like a great film, and I won't drag it down, but a movie slamming the War in Iraq 8 years in when it has the approval rating of 5 wackjobs? I'm sorry, but that movie would have been bold in 2003, when anyone who spoke ill of the war would have had to have stood in front of HUAC. That would be daring. That's why independent documentaries that tackle the same subjects when it's hot button and can draw fire from war profiteer stockholders...errr... pundits.

This is the industry that didn't even make a Vietnam movie until the 80's.

Surprised no one said anything so far...

But REALLY? Sandra Bullock? REALLY? I'm pretty annoyed she won the Oscar here, considering she made a career of making BAD chick flicks and romantic comedies. Heck, she wasn't even that good on Muppets Tonight. She did the role SPECIFICALLY to get the Oscar (which I can't stand, as it takes away from great actors/actresses who only do quality roles). She basically won for a role Valery Bertinelli or Dana Delaney or someone like that would have done if Blind Side stayed where it should have, The Hallmark Hall of Fame or Lifetime... somewhere that handles sloppy slushy mushy inspirational pap.

It was an honest slap in the face to all four other actresses who either disappeared into their roles or had their faces red with emotion most of the film. Especially the actress from Precious who we may never see again, as Hollywood NEVER likes to cast a larger woman in roles that aren't token fat chicks on TV shows with a heavy female audience. SHE was the one who truely deserved it.

Oh well, Now Sandra can smugly look at the statuette when she's looking over another cliche date movie piece of garbage. Can't wait until the next year when best actor goes to Pauly Shore.

Did like how the guy won for Inglorious Basterds, though! :batty:
