Good call on Richardson, totally slipped my mind. And good call on Nolan and Spielberg parellels. <br /><br />Look forward to reading what you have to say about The King's Speech. <br /><br />@ TGWLH: Word.Bryce Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040954580033470664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-29572480597775154202011-01-25T15:22:55.862-08:002011-01-25T15:22:55.862-08:00This is what I've always hated about the Oscar...This is what I've always hated about the Oscars. The same motherfucking movies nominated over and over again in category after category, as if only five movies came out all f-ing year. That just really grates my cheese.

Almost every one sees Supporting Actor as a race between Geoffrey Rush and Christian Bale, although I agree John Hawkes is as good as you say. And if everything was right in the world Jeff Bridges would be in that supporting category and Hailee Steinfeld would be in the Best Actress categories for TRUE GRIT.<br /><br />Same can be said that the main contenders are Natalie Portman and Annette Bening for Actress. If WINTER'S BONE could garner more eyes, it'd really help Jennifer Lawrence and Hawkes. I'm also with you on the lack of enthusiasm for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. Although, my kids are big LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS fans and are crestfallen that it didn't make it... I'm somewhat gleeful that it didn't (but that's another story).<br /><br />But what about Robert Richardson not getting a nod in cinematography for SHUTTER ISLAND?!? And I'm glad to see INSIDE JOB making it for Best Doc, but I'd have rather seen THE TILLMAN STORY there over RESTREPO. My son convinced me to check-out SCOTT PILGRIM so I'm with there, as well. Lastly, I'm beginning to think the current Academy members are treating Christopher Nolan as this era's Steven Spielberg. They didn't give much respect to Spielberg's early work and they seemed to have transferred that in how they ignore Nolan's films and efforts.<br /><br />I may be able to talk my wife into seeing THE KING'S SPEECH in the theater with me (fingers crossed), and I'm looking forward to checking out the number nom's it received. I very much enjoyed reading this post, Bryce. Thanks.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
